X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <h4>Connie Cepko\, PhD</h4><p>Bullard Profess
 or of Genetics and Neuroscience</p><p>Department of Genetics</p><p>Harvard 
 Medical School</p><p>Talk Title: <em>How does the retina make so many cell 
 types?</em></p><p>Abstract: The retina is a remarkable tissue\, with >120 c
 ell types\, and many circuits dedicated to transforming light into useful i
 nformation regarding our world. We are interested in the strategy used by t
 he retina to produce so many cell types\, and distribute them fairly equall
 y across the tissue. We are also interested in the mechanisms used for cell
  fate choice among the many progeny of multipotent progenitor cells. A mode
 l for the overarching strategy\, based upon lineage studies and birthdating
 \, will be presented.</p><p>Host: Dr. Ting Wang</p><p><img class="alignnone
