You Can’t See the Trees for the Forest: Dissecting the Many Causal Roots Driving Autoimmune Disease Genetic Risk
March 20 - 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Free
When: March 20, 2024, 12 noon – 1:00pm PDT
Venue: Zoom – Register for free at https://bit.ly/3wAkhFh
Organization Name: Pacific Northwest Research Institute
Event Website: https://pnri.org/events/science-matters/
Event Cost: $0
Description: Join Dr. John Ray, Principal Investigator of the Ray Lab at Benaroya Research Institute as he discusses how genetic risk for autoimmune diseases is driven mostly by genetic variation that falls within cryptic non-coding regions. To dissect the hundreds of genetic risk mechanisms that drive these diseases, the Ray Lab employed high throughput perturbational methods that evaluate autoimmune variant effects on gene expression and cellular function in primary human T cells.
