SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Human Genetics Research Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, April 13\, 2026\n11:00am - 12:00pm\n1020 Kahn Auditorium\, BSRB\n\nJacy Wagnon\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\nDepartment of Neuroscience\nThe Ohio State University College of Medicine\n“Seminar Title TBD”\n\nHosted By: Miriam Meisler\, PhD\, Department of Human Genetics\n___\nDevelopmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) are a genetically heterogeneous group of neurological disorders characterized by early-onset seizures along with cognitive\, motor\, and behavioral impairments. The Wagnon laboratory is interested in understanding genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying DEE and identifying new treatment strategies for these severe disorders. Our current studies focus on DEE caused by variants in the neuronal voltage-gated sodium channel gene SCN8A. We are developing mouse models of SCN8A encephalopathy to study pathogenesis of seizures and related comorbidities. A second focus of the lab is to investigate the role of regulation of gene expression in seizure pathology. Changes in mRNA and microRNA levels represent a general transcriptional response to seizures that may implicate new therapeutic targets.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Human Genetics Research Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, April 20\, 2026\n11:00am - 12:00pm\n1020 Kahn Auditorium\, BSRB\n\nAaron Ragsdale\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\nIntegrative Biology\nUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison\n“Seminar Title TBD”\n\nHosted By: Jeffrey Kidd\, PhD\, Department of Human Genetics\n___\nOur research aims to understand how evolutionary forces are expected to shape genetic diversity within populations\, and then uses this understanding to learn about demographic and selective histories and processes from genome sequencing data. One focus of our research is on developing population genetic theory that lets us predict patterns of diversity and genetic structure under varying models of demography and selection. Another focus is on turning that theory into computational tools to compare model predictions to observations from natural populations. Finally\, we have a strong interest in inferring (mostly) human evolutionary history from genetic data\, including both ancient history and population structure as well as more recent migrations\, movements\, and dynamics.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Single Cell Spatial Analysis Monthly Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:TITLE: Simultaneous CRISPR screening and spatial transcriptomics reveals intracellular and intercellular transcriptional circuits.\n\nFEATURING: \nSamouil L. Farhi\, Ph.D.  Director of the Spatial Technology Platform at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard\n\nFor more details Visit: https://singlecellspatialanalysis.umich.edu/monthlyseminarseries/\nZoom Info: \nMeeting ID: 998 7259 4985\nPasscode: 786053\n\nABSTRACT: \nPerturb-FISH combines spatial transcriptomics with optical detection of in situ amplified guide RNAs. Perturb-FISH recovers intracellular effects that are consistent with Perturb-seq results in cultured monocytes\, and finds density-dependent regulation of the innate immune response. Pairing Perturb-FISH with a functional readout in a screen of autism spectrum disorder risk genes\, shows common calcium activity phenotypes in induced pluripotent stem cell derived astrocytes and their associated molecular pathways. Finally\, Perturb-FISH can identify neighborhood dependent perturbation effects in a complex tissue by showing immune-tumor interactions in a xenograft model engrafted with human PBMCs. Perturb-FISH is thus a general method for studying the genetic and molecular associations of spatial and functional biology at single-cell resolution.

SUMMARY:Other:Critical Conversations on Generative AI and Higher Education
DESCRIPTION:Critical Conversations on Generative AI and Higher Education is a monthly\, cross-campus Community of Practice (CoP) for instructors and instructional staff who are navigating the evolving role of AI in their teaching. This community offers space to explore\, question\, and learn alongside colleagues across U-M—helping educators stay grounded in their pedagogical values while adapting to new technological realities.\n\nThe phrase “critical conversations” reflects our balanced approach—rooted in critical pedagogy and intergroup dialogue—that encourages open\, evidence-based exploration of AI’s implications for higher education.\n\nThrough engagement and reflection\, participants share diverse perspectives\, embrace productive tension\, and connect questions of technology to the core values of teaching and learning. Each conversation invites inquiry and shared meaning-making to support reflective innovation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:The Regulatory\, Property\, and Human Rights-Based Strategies for Protecting American Waterways
DESCRIPTION:Erin Ryan\, Associate Dean for Environmental Programs and Elizabeth C. & Clyde W. Atkinson Professor\, Florida State University College of Law\n\nThis analysis introduces a framework of three different strategies for protecting American waterways—the conventional regulatory approach\, an alternative property-based approach\, and a newer human rights-based approach—and reviews how the dynamic among them will be impacted by recent Supreme Court decisions impacting environmental law.  The rights of nature movement has emerged as a human rights-based approach to environmental protection\, the public trust doctrine offers a public property-based approach\, and the Clean Water Act epitomizes the more traditional regulatory approach. \n\nIn recent years\, however\, the Court issued a series of decisions that have unwound nearly a half-century of accepted regulatory practice\, limiting the reach of the Clean Water Act as a tool for protecting waterways in Sackett v. EPA\, weakening the reach of the Clean Air Act in West Virginia v. EPA\, and weakening environmental agencies more generally in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo. These cases will exact a cost for wise environmental governance under all three models reviewed here.

SUMMARY:Performance:Yooncho Cho\, soprano and Matthew Thompson\, piano
DESCRIPTION:Step into an intimate journey through the evocative world of Korean art song\, where memories of home\, love\, longing\, and hope come to life — revealing the inner landscapes of the human heart and the emotions that connect us all.\n\nThe Korean Performing Arts Initiative presents a guest recital featuring international concert\, stage and recording vocalist Yooncho Cho\, performing with SMTD professor Matthew Thompson.\n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS\n\nYOONCHO CHO is internationally recognized for her luminous tone\, refined expressivity\, and remarkable artistic freedom – praised by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and *Sächsische Zeitung*. A prizewinner of several international competitions\, including the Musica Sacra\, Strauss\, Rheinsberg\, and Darclée Competitions\, she served as a principal soloist at Theater Münster and has appeared in leading roles at major German opera houses\, including Essen\, Freiburg\, and Wiesbaden. Her operatic repertoire includes roles such as Blonde (*Die Entführung aus dem Serail*) and Musetta (*La Bohème*).\n \nAs a concert artist\, she has performed at the Berlin Philharmonie and in major venues across Europe\, collaborating with distinguished conductors such as Wolfgang Sawallisch and Christian Thielemann. Her repertoire includes Bach’s Passions\, Mozart’s *Requiem*\, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9\, and Mahler’s Symphony No. 4. She has also been featured at major international festivals\, including the Leipzig Bach Festival\, and has performed with leading orchestras across Asia.\n\nDeeply committed to Korean art song\, she shares its beauty and emotional depth with audiences worldwide. She has introduced Korean art songs – including “Arirang” – to European audiences and regularly leads masterclasses in Korea on this repertoire.\n\nHer recording of Handel’s *Dixit Dominus*\, conducted by Winfried Toll\, was released by Sony Classical. She has also appeared with the Seoul Metropolitan Opera and the Korea National Opera.\nShe studied at Seoul National University\, earned her master’s degree from the Berlin University of the Arts\, and completed the Konzertexamen with highest honors at the University of Music and Theatre Leipzig. She is currently Professor of Voice at Gongju National University of Education.\n\nMATTHEW THOMPSON DMA (collaborative piano) joined the University of Michigan School of Music\, Theatre & Dance faculty in 2011 and was recently described by a former student as “giving one of the most wholesome\, nerdy\, epic-but-modest unicorn professor experiences you’ll ever find at U-M.” As a collaborative pianist\, Dr. Thompson has performed with operatic celebrities including Thomas Hampson\, Golden Mask winner Vince Yi\, and even musical theater gurus like Tony Award winner\, Gavin Creel. \n\nA lifelong gamer\, Dr. Thompson’s interests in video game music have become a major component of his teaching and research.  His upcoming book\, *The Video Game Piano Phenomenon: Press Ab to Play* will release in Spring 2027 as part of Intellect Publishing’s Studies in Game Sound and Music book series. \n\nIn 2022\, Thompson published a database of Korean Art Song\, koreanartsongresource.com\, currently containing thousands of song entries. The same year\, he organized and performed “K-ArtSong: a Korean Art Song Recital\,” excerpts of which went viral in Korean news media accumulating more than 10 million views. In 2024\, Thompson traveled to Korea and performed with U-M student\, Jack Morin\, on a Korean reality show\, *KoreaInvitesU*.\n\nThompson received masters and doctoral degrees from the University of Michigan in collaborative piano\, studying with his long time mentor\, Martin Katz.

SUMMARY:Performance:2 X 2 - dance\, storytelling and genre-defying performance
DESCRIPTION:Amy Chavasse (faculty\, Dance)\, Malcolm Tulip (faculty\, Theatre & Drama)\, and Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance major\, Anna Bodescu join together for an evening of storytelling\, movement\, and dance. Careening from acts boisterous and absurd to tributes reverent and tender\, the three works promise an unflinching examination of the human condition.\n\nPROGRAM\n\n*Little Charlotte the Round Ray* (premiered at the Disguise Festival\, Northampton\, MA\, May 2025)\n\nA cautionary tale\, told as speculative fiction in kaleidoscopic movement\, song and storytelling. It examines the desperation that can emerge from belief systems that elevate hysteria\, and wishful thinking. At its core\, this is a heartfelt homage to Charlotte.\n\n*Low Light* (premiered at the Beijing Dance Festival\, 2014)\n\nIn 1956\, Rachel Carson wrote a script for the popular TV show *Omnibus* called *Something About the Sky*. She hoped to challenge the \"sterile preoccupation with things artificial\" and question our \"alienation from our source of strength.” Our absolute and essential humanness calls out for a re-imagined vocabulary of encounters. This dance seeks to uncover how this looks and feels across an expanse of emotional latitude – the imaginary line that connects points across the surface of the earth. Geographical imagery provides a framework as the dancer moves inside a quivering\, episodic narrative.\n\n*deux dogtooth* (premiered at the Arthur Miller Theatre\, 2017)\n\nA duet for Tulip and Chavasse that uses misappropriation and agitprop in a tightly structured improvisation that relies on intricately timed textural layering\, gestures and humor. Obliquely referencing the 2009 film\, *Dogtooth* by Yorgos Lanthimos\, the action unfolds on and around a table\, two chairs and a thick shag rug.

DESCRIPTION:Monday\, May 4\, 2026\n11:00am - 12:00pm\n1020 Kahn Auditorium\, BSRB\n\nAlex Pollen\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\nNeurobiology\nDevelopmental & Stem Cell Biology\nUniversity of California\, San Francisco\n“Seminar Title TBD”\n\nHosted By: Xander Nuttle\, PhD\, Department of Human Genetics\n___\nWe study how genetic changes that accumulated over the last 6 million years of human evolution influence specialized features of brain development using single cell genomics\, cerebral organoid models of ape brain development\, and genome engineering.\n\nOver the last six million years\, human cognition has changed in remarkable ways to support symbolic language\, long-term planning\, cooperation on vast scales\, and the rapid cultural accumulation of technology. During this time\, patterns of brain development and life history changed to triple the number of neurons produced prenatally\, extend synaptic plasticity through a prolonged phase of development\, and restructure connectivity between brain regions. At the same time tens of millions of mutations accumulated as fixed changes in the human genome through the processes of selection and drift. A portion of this new genomic information guides the development of uniquely human traits and contributes to disease vulnerabilities shared by all humans. However\, connecting human-specific mutations to recently evolved traits remains a major challenge because we lack experimental systems for comparative and functional studies of great ape cortical development. To identify genomic differences underlying unique features or vulnerabilities of the human brain\, we are incorporating advances in single cell genomics and genome engineering with great ape cerebral organoid models of brain development. We are enthusiastic for new graduate students to join the team\, and the lab is well suited for those with an interest in evolution\, neuropsychiatric disorders\, neuronal cell diversity\, stem cell models\, or bioinformatics.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Fueling for endurance – from keto to carbs!
DESCRIPTION:Day: Tuesday\, May 5\, 2026\nTime:  7 pm to 8 pm\nLocation: U-M Chemistry Bldg.\, Room 1400\n\nDr. Burke is a sports dietitian with 45 years of experience in the education and counselling of elite athletes.  She worked at the Australian Institute of Sport for thirty years\, first as Head of Sports Nutrition and then as Chief of Nutrition Strategy and now serves as Chair in Sports Nutrition in the Mary MacKillop Institute of Health Research at Australian Catholic University in Melbourne.\n \nTalk Summary: Carbohydrates have powered endurance performance for a century—from early race-day sugar use to modern glycogen-loading and sports nutrition products. Yet the rise of ketogenic/LCHF approaches has sparked debate and confusion for athletes and coaches. This session cuts through the hype to explore what the evidence says\, why context matters\, and how to build a more nuanced\, “unifying” approach to fueling endurance performance.\n\nRegister at:  https://tinyurl.com/Louise-Burke

SUMMARY:Performance:The Women Who Move Us: Honoring the Inspiring Women Who Helped to Define Us
DESCRIPTION:*The Women Who Move Us* builds on the success of *Women Defining Themselves* (May 2024)\, continuing a powerful exploration of how movement and music illuminate the stories that shape us. This evening’s performance honors the inspiring women who have carried us\, guided us\, and left lasting impressions on our lives\, including mothers\, mentors\, daughters\, and friends. \n\nThrough original choreography and soulful music\, we celebrate the resilience\, wisdom\, and beauty of these women while deepening our understanding of the arts’ capacity to heal\, connect\, and inspire across generations. Reception to follow.\n\nAll proceeds from the evening will support the Scott Pranger ALS Center at Michigan Medicine\, advancing research for neurodegenerative diseases.\n\nAbout Dance/Wellness faculty member Amy West’s mission:\n\n\"This project is grounded in lived experience. For seven years\, my husband and I\, along with help from caregivers\, cared for my mother-in-law in our home as she slowly succumbed to dementia. Walking beside her during this time profoundly shaped my understanding of health\, caregiving\, and resilience\, and reinforced the importance of connection across all stages of life. *The Women Who Move Us* is both a tribute to her memory and a collective gesture of love and advocacy for all families and caregivers navigating memory loss. It also reflects my commitment to honoring the legacies of the women who came before us while supporting the health and well-being of those who carry them forward. The project will extend its reach through collaboration with the Scott Pranger ALS Center at Michigan Medicine\, linking the performing arts with medical research and care. By bringing together performance and science\, this partnership reflects the shared humanity at the core of both disciplines: the desire to honor\, heal\, and sustain life.\"  \n\nDonate to the Scott Pranger ALS Center at Michigan Medicine:\nhttps://giving.umich.edu/basket/fund/336111

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Designing Classroom Activities for Accessibility
DESCRIPTION:Active learning can make teaching more engaging\, provide immediate feedback on student learning\, and give students valuable opportunities to practice the skills they need to be successful. Learning experiences designed without a central consideration of accessibility\, however\, may lead to inequitable outcomes for students with disabilities. In this in-person workshop\, participants will: explore one approach (Universal Design for Learning) to promote teaching for accessibility\; practice identifying barriers to participation in order to design activities around accessibility\; and share and create ideas for how to accessibly implement different active learning opportunities. This seminar is for folks already comfortable with designing and implementing in-class activities (active learning) who want to develop a practice of reflecting and improving on these activities to provide more equitable access to students with disabilities.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:SCSAP Special Research Seminar
DESCRIPTION:SCSAP Special Research Seminar\nDate: Tuesday\, May 12th\, 2026\nTime: 9:30-10:30 AM EST\nLocation: Virtual ONLY\n\nTITLE: Working toward cancer care in 2030 : AI+X for Precision Medicine 2.0\, Population Health\, Aging and Global Health Impact\n\nFEATURING: Joe Poh Sheng YEONG\, MBBS\, PhD\, FRCPath\, IMCB (A*STAR) and Singapore General Hospital\n\nCancer clinical trials face major recruitment challenges\, with delays in patient matching contributing to high failure rates and billions in annual losses. Immune profiling technologies such as immunohistochemistry (IHC) and multiplex IHC are essential for biomarker discovery and precision oncology\, but their widespread use is limited by cost\, tissue scarcity\, and labor-intensive workflows.\n\nIn this talk\, I will discuss how AI-driven spatial biology approaches\, including our H&E 2.0 platform\, can accelerate patient triage and biomarker screening for clinical trial recruitment. As combination immunotherapies and antibody-drug conjugates expand\, scalable and cost-effective biomarker testing is becoming increasingly important for drug development and clinical decision-making.\nI will also highlight advances in spatial proteogenomics from our recent Nature cover study (April 2025)\, demonstrating how integrated spatial proteomics\, genomics\, and transcriptomics can reveal tumor heterogeneity\, immune interactions\, and noncanonical “dark” proteins involved in cancer progression. By combining AI with longitudinal population-scale data\, we developed predictive models capable of forecasting critical illness years in advance.\n\nFinally\, I will introduce an AI-powered “pseudo-time” framework aimed at supporting more timely\, accessible\, and value-based precision medicine worldwide.

SUMMARY:Presentation:Effectiveness of Inductive Vehicle Charging to Alleviate EV Range Anxiety
DESCRIPTION:This project evaluates the efficacy\, optimal placement\, and economic viability of inductive vehicle charging (IVC) technology. Using literature review\, stakeholder engagement\, and rigorous mathematical modeling\, we developed a comprehensive framework to identify high impact use cases for this emerging technology. The findings suggest that IVC is not a universal solution\, but a targeted tool within a rapidly evolving electrification landscape. It may serve as a bridging technology or a specialized solution for high utilization fleets\, rather than a permanent requirement for all electric mobility.\n---\nAbout the speaker: Sina Bahrami is an Assistant Research Scientist in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan.

Along with other layers of gene regulation\, chromatin modification plays a key role in this cellular specialization. Our research focuses on histone modifications such as lysine methylation\, and the proteins that recognize these modifications\, which are often referred to as chromatin ‘readers’. Chromatin readers can recruit and act as part of diverse chromatin modifying protein complexes to mediate the silencing of many genes with important functions in cell proliferation and differentiation. We will use a combination of genetic\, biochemical and genome-wide sequencing approaches to investigate the striking regulatory complexity of chromatin readers. Our research will contribute to a better understanding of how cells acquire and maintain different fates during development\, how chromatin readers contribute to epigenetic inheritance\, and how aberrant regulation of histone methylation contributes to the pathogenesis of several human diseases\, including cancers.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Caswell Diabetes Institute Community Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Bad Things in Good Foods\nDid you know that some of the foods we eat every day— fruits\, vegetables\, and even so-called “health foods”— can contain invisible chemicals and toxic substances? Learn how these “bad things in good foods” may influence how our bodies grow\, develop\, and maintain heart and metabolic health. We will examine the surprising connections between what’s on our plate and long-term risks for conditions like diabetes and heart disease.\n\nKaren E. Peterson\, ScD\nStanley M.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cosmo-Astro Seminar | Supernova Cousins: Leveraging Galaxy-group Information to Improve Type Ia Supernova Cosmology
DESCRIPTION:Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are a cornerstone of precision cosmology\, but at low redshift their accuracy is increasingly limited by systematic uncertainties. This has gained urgency with recent results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument suggesting possible cracks in the standard cosmological model\, including evolving dark energy. Among the dominant systematics are peculiar velocities\, which are tied to large-scale structure and environmental effects\, which are linked to galaxy evolution. Peculiar velocities have been studied through models of the velocity field and galaxy groups and clusters\, while environmental effects have been probed using rare \"supernova siblings\,\" multiple SNe Ia within the same host galaxy. These approaches\, however\, focus on either the motions of galaxies or the environment that these SNe go off in\, but not both at the same time. In this talk\, I introduce \"supernova cousins\": SNe Ia in different galaxies within the same group or cluster\, thereby combining both effects. Using a sample of 1\,086 low-z SNe Ia from ATLAS\, we construct a sample of 93 SN Cousins. With this sample\, I compare distance scatter across environments and test the limits of how well we can use them to improve SN cosmology.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Rare Failures\, Public Perception\, and Automated Driving: Why Exceptional Events Shape Trust in Emerging Safety Technologies
DESCRIPTION:This lecture explores the “vaccine paradox” of automated driving: why rare\, highly publicized failures of self-driving vehicles provoke intense emotional and political reactions while the far more common harms of human driving remain normalized. Drawing on risk psychology\, public-health history\, and human-factors research\, Prof. McGehee examines how visibility imbalance\, trust\, and perceptions of control shape public acceptance of emerging vehicle automation. Using real-world examples from automated-vehicle deployments alongside lessons from vaccine adoption and safety communication\, the talk argues that societal expectations for perfection in automation may obscure meaningful population-level safety gains. The presentation concludes by discussing how transparency\, responsible system design\, and careful language around driver-assistance technologies can help align public perception with evidence as automated driving evolves toward broader deployment.\n---\nAbout the speaker: Daniel V. McGehee\, is Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Iowa and Director of the Driving Safety Research Institute (DSRI) and the National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS)\, one of the world’s largest and most advanced ground-vehicle simulation facilities. For more than three decades\, his work has focused on human factors\, driver behavior\, and the safe integration of advanced vehicle technologies\, including automated driving and driver-assistance systems. Dr. McGehee’s research spans engineering\, medicine\, public health\, and transportation policy\, with projects funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation\, National Institutes of Health\, and the automotive industry. He has led over $40 million in sponsored research and authored more than 160 scientific publications addressing driver attention\, crash avoidance\, vulnerable road users\, and the design of vehicle interfaces. His work combines naturalistic driving studies\, simulation\, and field research to better understand how humans interact with emerging mobility systems. At the University of Iowa\, he holds joint appointments in emergency medicine and public health\, reflecting his longstanding interest in traffic safety as a population-level health issue.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Human Genetics Research Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, September 14\, 2026\n11:00am - 12:00pm\nLocation TBD\n\nYang Shi\, PhD\nProfessor of Epigenetics\nLudwig Institute for Cancer Research\nOxford University\, Oxford\, England\n“Seminar Title TBD”\n\nHosted By: Shigeki Iwase\, PhD\, Department of Human Genetics\n___\nBefore joining Ludwig Oxford in 2020\, I was Professor of Cell Biology and C. H. Waddington Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. I received my PhD from New York University and postdoctoral training at Princeton University. I joined Harvard Medical School as an Assistant Professor in 1991 and was appointed a Professor of Pathology in 2004. In 2009 I joined the Newborn Medicine Division of Boston Children’s Hospital.\n\nI am interested in identifying key epigenetic regulators in cancer\, elucidating their mechanism of action and providing the conceptual basis for translating our basic findings to the clinic via the development of new therapeutic strategies. With the discovery of the first histone methyl eraser\, LSD1\, in 2004\, our group demonstrated that histone methylation is dynamically regulated\, which overturned the long-held dogma that such modifications were static and irreversible. We have also discovered many additional histone demethylases with different specificities\, and novel readers\, including those that specifically recognize unmodified lysine and arginine and suggest that the unmodified states are not simply a ground neutral state of epigenetic information but rather likely code for epigenetic information as modified states. Importantly\, many of these chromatin enzymes and readers have since been implicated in various types of human cancers\, indicating an important role of chromatin regulation in tumorigenesis.\n\nMore recently\, we have also been studying RNA modifications and how they impact gene expression regulation. In many ways this exciting field parallels the early days of chromatin biochemistry and biology\, i.e.\, the nature and the biological and pathological functions of RNA modifications\, as well as the enzymes responsible for writing\, erasing and reading them\, are just beginning to be understood.\n\nAt Ludwig Oxford\, my lab is focusing on two questions. First\, how to convert “cold tumors to “hot” and how to sustain durable responses to cancer immune checkpoint blockade therapy. Second\, how to induce therapeutic differentiation of cancers\, using acute myeloid leukemia and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma as models where chromatin/epigenetics have been shown to play a crucial role in the maintenance of a poorly differentiated state.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Human Genetics Research Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, September 21\, 2026\n11:00am - 12:00pm\nLocation TBD\n\nIra Hall\, PhD\nProfessor of Genetics\nDirector of the Yale Center for Genomic Health\nYale School of Medicine\n“Seminar Title TBD”\n\nHosted By: Ryan Mills\, PhD\, Department of Human Genetics\n___\nDr. Hall's research career spans the fields of genetics\, genomics\, bioinformatics and data science. He received a B.A. in Integrative Biology from the University of California at Berkeley (1998)\, and worked as a technician for 2 years in Sarah Hake's plant genetics group at the USDA/ARS Plant Gene Expression Center. He received his Ph.D. in genetics from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (2003)\, where his work in Shiv Grewal's laboratory established the first direct link between RNA interference and chromatin-based epigenetic inheritance. As a postdoc with Michael Wigler (2004) and independent Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Fellow (2004-2007)\, Dr. Hall used microarray technologies and mouse strain genealogies to conduct the first systematic study of DNA copy number variation hotspots. As a faculty member at the University of Virginia (2007-2014)\, Washington University (2014-2020) and Yale (2020-present)\, his work has sought to understand the causes and consequences of genome variation in mammals\, with an increasing focus on computational methods development and human genetics. His group has developed bioinformatics tools for variant detection\, variant interpretation\, sequence alignment\, data processing\, and data integration. He has led genome-wide studies of human genome variation\, heritable gene expression variation\, human genetic disorders\, tumor evolution\, mouse strain variation\, genome stability in reprogrammed stem cells\, and single-neuron somatic mosaicism in the human brain. Dr. Hall's work has been featured in Science Magazine's Breakthrough of the Year (2003 & 2007)\, the NIMH Director's \"Ten Best of 2013\" and The Scientist (2013)\, and he has received several prestigious awards including the AAAS Newcomb Cleveland Prize (2003)\, the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award (2006)\, the NIH Director's New Innovator Award (2009)\, and the March of Dimes Basil O'Connor Research Award (2010). He has also served as an Associate Editor at Genome Research (2009-2014) and Genes\, Genomes and Genetics (2011-2018).\n\nMost recently\, Dr. Hall has played a leadership role in several large collaborative projects funded by NIH/NHGRI including the Centers for Common Disease Genomics\, the AnVIL cloud-based data repository and analysis platform\, and the Human Pangenome Project. His current work is focused on two broad goals: (1) mapping variants and genes that confer risk to human disease\, with ongoing projects focused on coronary artery disease and cardiometabolic traits in unique and underrepresented populations\, and (2) developing methods for the detection and interpretation of human genome variation\, with an emphasis on structural variation and other difficult-to-detect forms\, and on comprehensive trait association in human disease studies.
