Topic: gene regulation

Convergence Seminar by Alexis Battle, PhD (Wu and Zhang Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science, Johns Hopkins University), on computational and machine-learning approaches for analyzing how genetic variation impacts gene regulation and disease, including noncoding sequences and rare variants.

In the third of this year’s Brain Prize webinars, Oscar Marin (King's College London, UK), Leslie Griffith (Brandeis University, USA), and Kesley Martin (Simons Foundation, USA) will present their work on shaping connections through remote gene regulation. Each speaker will present for 25 minutes, and the webinar will conclude with an open discussion. The webinar will be moderated by the winners of the 2023 Brain Prize, Michael Greenberg, Erin Schuman and Christine Holt.
