Symposium
2025 Signaling Symposium
Monday, May 12, 2025 8:15 am - 3:30 pm
Effie Apostolou, Weill Cornell Medicine (Apostolou Lab)
The Apostolou laboratory investigates the interplay between transcription factors and 3D chromatin organization, focusing on how these interactions influence cell fate decisions such as self-renewal and differentiation. They aim to understand the regulatory mechanisms underlying cell-type-specific gene expression and the role of chromatin architecture in maintaining stem cell identity.
Kevan Shokat, University of California, San Francisco / University of California, Berkeley (Shokat Lab)
The Shokat laboratory uses chemical genetics to study and target signaling proteins, particularly protein kinases, GTPases, and RNA helicases. This work aims to develop new therapeutic strategies for diseases like cancer and Parkinson's by creating selective chemical tools to decipher cellular signaling networks.
2024 Signaling Symposium
Monday May 13, 2024 8:15am - 3:30pm
Nels Elde, University of Utah (Elde Lab)
The Elde laboratory investigates host-pathogen interfaces and the evolutionary impact of these interactions on genomic and cellular complexity. A major focus of these efforts is using integrated phylogenetic and experimental approaches to identify new sources of genetic resistance to infectious diseases.
Steve Henikoff, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Inst / University of Washington (Henikoff Lab)
Work in the Henikoff lab continues to be sharply focused on protein-DNA interaction dynamics. Their technology development efforts remain focused on better ways of addressing dynamics at the interfaces between DNA and the proteins and protein complexes involved in these fundamental genetic processes.
