Graduate Program in Molecular Life Sciences is honoured to announce the next GPMLS Distinguished Lecture.

Thursday, September 9th at 10:00-11.00 o’clock

Location: Fróði Lecture Hall, Sturlugata 8

Professor Kenneth Zaret

Dep. of Cell and Developmental Biology at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania

Title: Overcoming Chromatin Barriers to Change Cell Fate

Kenneth S. Zaret, Ph.D. is the Joseph Leidy Professor in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania. He is also the Director of UPenn’s Institute for Regenerative Medicine.

The goal of our laboratory is to understand ways that genes are regulated in order to allow one type of cell to change into another type of cell. Such “cell type control” occurs in embryonic development and tissue regeneration, when embryo or adult stem cells become specialized for tissue function. Understanding cell type control is crucial to being able to generate new cells at will for therapeutics and for generating experimental models to unveil the basis of, and cures for, human disease
