A major challenge is moving from observing its correlates to identifying its fundamental, targetable bottlenecks. In this talk, I will explore a reverse-engineering approach, using pharmacological interventions in model organisms to deconstruct the mechanisms of aging and pinpoint promising avenues for intervention. I will discuss how we can leverage existing biological data and what new,...

LundUniversity of Copenhagen"Deciphering the role of specialized translation in health and disease"Host: Fatima GebauerAbstract:Protein synthesis is essential for all cellular processes and understanding how protein synthesis is regulated to facilitate differentiation and establish cellular identity is pivotal. Importantly, the translation system is deregulated or hijacked in many diseases and understanding how deregulated protein synthesis contributes to the development of disease may facilitate new therapeutic approaches. We focus predominantly on modifications of ribosomal RNA based on the...
18/05/202612:00MARIE CURIEPRBB-CRG SessionsFrancesca LucaUniversity of Chicago"Genetic and social factors in gene regulation and health"Host: Sílvia Pérez-LluchAbstract:The environment has a direct effect on human phenotypes, including common diseases, and can modify genetic effects on phenotypes through genotype-by-environment interactions (GxE). In the past ten years, we have been studying genetic, social and environmental factors, and GxE in gene regulation in children with asthma and in older adults. I will present the results of our single cell genomic studies in immune cells from these urban cohorts. I will also discuss the importance of considering complex environmental contexts...

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providing a brief retrospective of our past 20 years of discoveries in genome evolution, along with related recent and unpublished stories.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...
