Join us for our upcoming Seminar Session! Nausea is a protective but often debilitating sensation that limits the use of many important therapies, and current anti-nausea drugs are frequently ineffective because the underlying brain mechanisms are poorly understood. Dr. Zhang will discuss the identification of specific neuron circuits in the brain’s area postrema that drive
Join us for our upcoming Seminar Session! Bats show exceptional longevity with little biological aging despite high metabolic demands. Using methylation-based clocks across diverse species, Dr. Sears reveals that enhanced genome maintenance and cellular repair underlie their healthy aging and longevity.
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
The UCLA Center for Reproductive Science, Health and Education welcomes National Medal of Science awardee Dr. Teresa Woodruff, a pioneer in merging the fields of oncology and fertility preservation and a recognized champion of women's health research.
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
