22/05/202612:00MARIE CURIEPRBB-CRG SessionsFrancesca SpagnoliKing's College London"Mapping progenitor niche dynamics for regulation of cell fate"Host: Jorge FerrerAbstract:The Spagnoli laboratory studies mechanisms regulating cell identity and plasticity in metabolic organs, such as the pancreas and liver. We use multimodal approaches in mouse embryos and human stem cell models to elucidate how distinct cell types arise from common progenitors and crosstalk to each other and surrounding microenvironment to acquire specialized shapes and to form functional organs. The long-term goal of our research is to translate developmental concepts into new therapies.
01/06/202612:00MARIE CURIEPRBB-CRG SessionsDuncan OdomGerman Cancer Research Center (DKFZ)"The genetic mechanisms underlying mammalian germline and somatic evolution"Host: Donate WeghornAbstract:The Odom laboratory studies interdisciplinary questions bridging genetics, genome regulation, cancer biology, and evolution. In this talk, I will be providing a brief retrospective of our past 20 years of discoveries in genome evolution, along with related recent and unpublished stories. I will discuss the extensive and rapid turn-over of tissue-specific transcription factor binding, CTCF insulator elements, polymerase occupancies, and enhancer...
12/06/202612:00MARIE CURIEPRBB-CRG SessionsMartin EilersBiozentrum Universität Würzburg"Role of non-canonical functions of MYC in oncogenesis"Host: Thomas GrafAbstract:MYC proteins are central oncogenes that contribute to the development of the majority of human cancers. They are classically viewed as DNA-bound transcription factors that regulate gene expression by forming heterodimers with the partner protein MAX. However, this canonical model does not readily explain several key oncogenic functions of MYC, such as its ability to promote immune evasion. In my talk, I will discuss the mechanisms by which pancreatic carcinoma evades...
