Speakers
Liana Lareau
Liana Lareau is an assistant professor in the Department of Bioengineering at the University of California, Berkeley.
The Lareau lab uses computational methods and high-throughput experiments to understand how post-transcriptional processes lead to robust and flexible control of gene expression.
Dr. Kin Fai Au
Dr. Kin Fai Au is an associate professor of biomedical informatics at The Ohio State University. He has been developing both experimental and data analytic methods for long-read sequencing for a decade, aiming to address the challenging problems in (epi-)transcriptomics and epigenetics. He applies the methods to investigate the complexity and dynamics of gene isoforms and transposons at the layers of transcriptome and epigenome in stem cells and early embryonic development.
Chase Weidmann
Dr. Chase Weidman is an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan. The Weidman lab is interested in how cellular signals are propagated through interaction networks at the RNA-protein interface, and how these networks malfunction during cancer and disease. Many long noncoding RNAs associate with chromatin in the nucleus as a part of larger networked ribonucleoprotein granules, where they regulate gene expression and RNA processing. In cancer cells, changes in RNA-binding protein stoichiometry and modification status reorganize the interaction networks of noncoding RNAs, resulting in altered functions. Our vision is to leverage RNA and protein sequencing technologies to characterize these altered interaction network profiles in cancer cells and generate novel therapeutic strategies that target the RNA-protein interface.
