    Genome Integrity Discussion Group Meeting

    Speakers: Craig Bassing (University of Pennsylvania), Dirk Remus (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center), Yossi Shiloh (Tel Aviv University), Mikel Zaratiegui (Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey)

    The Genome Integrity Discussion Group provides a forum for interactions between basic and clinical research groups working on chromosome biology and function, and at the interface between chromosome integrity and onset and progression of malignancy.

    Wednesday, March 20, 2013 | 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM

    Autism Spectrum Disorder: From Genes to Circuits to Behavior

    Speakers: Ben Philpot (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), Tim Roberts (The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia), Stephan Sanders (Yale University School of Medicine), Laurence Tecott (University of California, San Francisco), Paul Wang (Seaside Therapeutics)

    Explore recent breakthroughs in early detection of autism and promising therapeutic interventions. This symposium features presents updates on the genetic landscape, the use of mouse models to explore behavior and potential therapeutic biomarkers.

    Monday, February 4, 2013 | 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

    Genome Integrity Discussion Group Meeting

    Speakers: Alessia Balestrini (Petrini Lab, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center), Jayanta Chaudhuri (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center), Utz Herbig (UMDNJ), Hannah Klein (NYU Langone Medical Center), Ken Marians (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center), Michal Zimmermann (De Lange Lab, The Rockefeller University)
    Organizers: John Petrini (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center), Rodney Rothstein (Columbia University Medical Center), Lorraine Symington (Columbia University Medical Center)

    The Genome Integrity Discussion Group provides a forum for interactions between basic and clinical research groups working on chromosome biology and function, and at the interface between chromosome integrity and onset and progression of malignancy.

    Friday, February 1, 2013 | 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM

    Metabolic Determinants of Stem Cell Pluripotency and Cell Fate Commitments

    Keynote Speakers: Peter Carmeliet (Vesalius Research Center, Belgium) and Lewis C. Cantley (Weill Cornell Medical College)
    Speakers: Shuibing Chen (Weill Cornell Medical College), Ubaldo Martinez-Outschoorn (Kimmel Cancer Center, Thomas Jefferson University), Andre Terzic (Mayo Clinic)

    Fate and function determine stem cells' metabolic needs. Does fate dictate metabolic activity or do metabolic switches trigger a commitment to cell fate? We present the latest on stem cell metabolism vs. lineage commitment, and future therapies.

    Monday, December 3, 2012 | 2:00 PM - 5:30 PM

    The Genome Integrity Discussion Group provides a forum for interactions between basic and clinical research groups working on chromosome biology and function, and at the interface between chromosome integrity and onset and progression of malignancy.

    Thursday, November 29, 2012 | 12:00 PM - 4:15 PM

    Targeting Metals in Alzheimer's and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases

    Organizers: Rudolph Tanzi (Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School), George Zavoico (MLV & Co.), Jennifer Henry (The New York Academy of Sciences)
