Monthly Seminar Series: Dr. Kathrin Plath – “Exploring X Chromosome Dosage and Blastoids to Model Human Development”

BSRB Rm 483

Join us for our upcoming Seminar Session! This talk will explore how early human development is shaped by signaling pathways and gene regulation, using human stem cell–derived embryo models (blastoids) to study cell fate decisions. It will also highlight complementary research in mouse and human systems on how X chromosome dosage is established, offering new

Monthly Seminar Series: Dr. Sriram Sankararaman – “Insights into the Evolutionary and Genetic Architecture of Human Complex Traits from Biobank-Scale Data”

BSRB Rm 483

Join us for our upcoming Seminar Session! This talk will explore how large-scale biobank data are transforming our understanding of the relationships between evolution, genetics, and complex traits across diverse populations. It will also highlight new insights into Neanderthal DNA contributions and reveal how gene-gene and gene-environment interactions play a significant role in shaping human
