Current Biology Seminar
The Basic Sciences Division hosts a weekly Current Biology Seminar series where leading-edge researchers are invited from around the world to share their latest scientific breakthroughs. Lectures are typically every Tuesday and are held as virtual events.
Speaker
Joseph Ecker, Ph.D.
- Director, Genomic Analysis Laboratory
- Professor, Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Laboratory
- Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator
- Salk International Council Chair in Genetics
- Salk Institute for Biological Studies
The Ecker lab studies plant, mouse, and human cells to decipher epigenetic processes during development and disease. Combining newly developed methods with genome- and methylome-sequencing, Ecker’s lab group examines changes in the epigenome, exploring, for example, how adding molecules such as methyl or hydroxy-methyl groups to the backbone of DNA can help cells fine-tune gene expression.
Seminar Title: “Mapping Brain Cells: One Epigenome at a Time”
