presents, "The RASopathies: Too much, too little and getting to just right" Talk abstract: Noonan syndrome and the related disorders, now called the RASopathies, are phenotypically related traits arising from perturbations, largely engendering gain of function, in the RAS/mitogen-activated protein kinase signal transduction pathway. In this lecture, insights gained from phenotype-first and genotype-first studies of the RAsopathies will be provided as well as those from cell and animal model research, informing the development of mechanistic therapies for these genetic traits.…

Student-invited speaker
Stephen Johnson Memorial Lecture
Jessica Tollkuhn, PhD
Associate Professor
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
presents, "Hormonal regulation of gene expression defines sex-variable biology" Talk abstract: My lab studies how nuclear hormone receptors modulate gene expression in the brain at single-cell resolution, and how this affects development of and activity within circuits that mediate specific behaviors. We anticipate that the hormone-regulated genes we have identified will contribute to established sex differences in the incidence and etiology of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Hosted by: Simona Sarafinovska, Din Selmanovic, and Genetics trainees & postdocs In-person only: Connor…
