We would like to invite all CorEuStem members to the webinar “Modelling Human Disease using iPSC and Genome Engineering”
🗓 Date: December 19th, 2024
🕚 Time: 10:00 AM (CET)
👩🔬 Speaker: Dr. Andrea Rossi – Group Leader, Environmental Adaptation and Cellular Resilience Laboratory. Head of the Genome Engineering and Model Development (GEMD) Core Unit at the IUF-Leibniz Research Institute, Düsseldorf.
Expertise: Dr. Rossi’s lab integrates genome engineering, short- and long-read sequencing, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and their derived specialized cells and organoids. His research has focused on enhancing iPSC quality control to ensure the precision and reliability of these disease models. Major contributions include co-discovering “transcriptional adaptation” in zebrafish and mouse embryonic stem cells.
Brief CV Highlights:
· PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Bari (Antonio Frigeri’s lab).
· Post-doctoral Fellowships:
o Alan Verkman’s lab, University of California San Francisco – Focused on human disease research and genetic compensation.
o Didier Stainier’s lab, Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research – Contributed to describing transcriptional adaptation.
Why Attend? Join us to gain insights into cutting-edge research on using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) combined with advanced genome engineering to evaluate the effects of environmental pollutants on human health and cellular resilience through genetic compensation mechanisms.
Who Should Attend? This webinar is ideal for researchers, clinicians, and students interested in stem cell technology, genome engineering, disease modeling, and the genetic mechanisms underlying cellular adaptation.
Please note that the webinar is only for registered members of CorEuStem, and the Zoom link will be sent only to members. There is still the possibility to join CorEuStem via https://coreustem.eu/.
