At the Carnegie Institution for Science, Department of Embryology, we study biology across a vast scale — from individual molecules to the whole organism. One constant at all levels is the need to perform quality control functions to ensure proper physiology.
Our 35th annual Mini-Symposium will explore these mechanisms by highlighting the work of nine remarkable scientists:
- 10:30am EDT – Dr. Joshua Rosenthal (Marine Biological Laboratory) – Rewriting the cephalopod neural transcriptome by editing mRNAs
- 11:00am EDT – Dr. Micha Rapé (UC Berkeley) – Mitochondrial stress signaling in development and disease
- 11:30am EDT – Dr. Patrick Lusk (Yale) – Protecting the integrity of the nuclear compartment
- 12:00pm EDT – Dr. Elçin Ünal (UC Berkeley) – Nuclear Pore Complex Modularity in Meiosis: Regulatory Mechanisms & Possible Functions
- 1:30pm EDT – Dr. Jennifer Zallen (Sloan Kettering Institute) – Signals, forces, and cells: Decoding tissue morphogenesis
- 2:00pm EDT – Dr. Amy Shyer (Rockefeller University) – Skin cells generate supracellular order through dynamic cell-matrix feedback
- 2:30pm EDT – Dr. Lucy O’Brien (Stanford) – Cellular life cycles enable adaptive organ states
- 3:15pm EDT – Dr. Joel Sachs (UC Riverside) – Host plant control and sanctioning of ineffective symbionts
- 3:45pm EDT – Dr. Mark Mandel (University of Wisconsin–Madison) – Establishment of a specific animal microbiome
