Department of Genetics
The Department of Genetics Research Seminar Series provides a forum for presenting and discussing research on the genetics and molecular biology underlying complex phenotypes. The series brings together faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students from Genetics and the broader molecular biosciences community.
Dr. Chongzhi Zang will discuss how computational genomics can reveal mechanisms of gene regulation, highlighting new approaches to chromatin profiling and transcriptional regulator prediction, as well as recent research on transcriptional condensates in cancer.
The Department of Genetics Research Seminar Series at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, provides a forum for presenting and discussing research on the genetics and molecular biology underlying complex phenotypes. The series brings together faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students from Genetics and the broader molecular biosciences community.
Dr. Timothy Nice will discuss the role of IRF6 in regulating intestinal epithelial differentiation and immunity, highlighting recent findings on its impact on intestinal barrier function, inflammation, and tissue repair.
Dr. Sarah Zanders will discuss how selfish genetic elements known as killer meiotic drivers manipulate inheritance, highlighting her lab’s research on their mechanisms in fission yeast and the features that contribute to their remarkable evolutionary persistence.
