Current Biology Seminar – Dr. Shawn Chavez
March 15, 2022 - 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
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.
Shawn Chavez, Ph.D.
Oregon National Primate Research Center
Division of Reproductive & Developmental Sciences
Oregon Health & Science University
Departments of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Molecular & Medical Genetics, and Biomedical Engineering
The Chavez Lab research interests focus on the use of real-time imaging and low-input next-generation sequencing to investigate the genetic, epigenetic, and chromosomal requirements of early embryogenesis and placentation in non-human primates and other mammals. In particular, her laboratory aims to determine how whole chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidy) and sub-chromosomal instability may arise or be resolved during preimplantation development.
Seminar Title: Mechanisms of Chromosomal Instability and Preimplantation Embryo Loss Across Mammalian Species
