Cigall Kadoch, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Pediatric Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Affiliate Faculty of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Biology at Harvard Medical School, and Institute Member and Epigenomics Program Co-Director at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
She established her independent laboratory in 2014, at age 28, one of the youngest scientists ever appointed to the Harvard Medical School faculty, immediately following completion of her Ph.D. studies in Cancer Biology at Stanford University working with developmental biologist Gerald...Read more
Ana Pombo investigates mechanisms that regulate 3D genome folding and gene expression during mammalian development and in disease. After her doctorate work at the University of Oxford (UK), Ana was a recipient of a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship. Her group was first based at the MRC London Institute for Medical Sciences (2000-2013), before moving to the Max Delbrueck Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin, in Germany. Ana is a Professor at the Humboldt University of Berlin, and she currently serves as Deputy Scientific Director of BIMSB and Deputy Scientific Program Deputy of...Read more
Deborah Leckband is Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is recognized internationally for pathbreaking research that identified interfacial forces and molecular mechanisms that control protein adsorption and function at both biological and abiotic interfaces. Professor Leckband is a pioneer in the use of molecular force probes to study proteins at interfaces, and has made major discoveries of the impact of interfacial forces on protein adsorption, recognition,...Read more
I will present new research that addresses the major challenge of identifying material properties that alter bio-macromolecule folding stability abiotic environments. How proteins interact with...
The series follows the steps in performing a Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis study (HIRA) with an emphasis on use of simplified quantitative techniques. These simplified quantitative methods...
