X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <h4><a href="https://www.fordycelab.com/">Pol
 ly Fordyce\, Ph.D.</a></h4><p>Associate Professor</p><p>Departments of Gene
 tics and Bioengineering</p><p>Stanford University</p><p>Talk Title: Underst
 anding gene regulation using high-throughput biophysics</p><p>Abstract: TBD
 </p><p>Host: Dr. Mike White</p><p>Host Comments: Dr. Polly Fordyce is pushi
 ng the frontier of our understanding of the biophysical principles by which
  transcription factors control the genome. Through innovations in microflui
 dics and quantitative imaging\, her lab is advancing the scale and quantita
 tive precision of key measurements that reveal the thermodynamics and kinet
 ics of transcription factor interactions with their cofactors and with thei
 r DNA targets. Repeatedly\, she has shown how quantitative in vitro measure
 ments are critical for understanding how transcription factors behave in vi
 vo. Dr. Fordyce’s work builds on Dr. Gary Stormo's important contributions 
 to the study of transcription factor specificity\, and her ability to use t
 echnological innovation to yield new quantitative insights make her an espe
 cially fitting choice to be the 2026 Stormo Lecturer.</p><p><img class="ali
