"Cell fate - a malleable developmental state", 16 May


A special Hudson seminar will be held in the MIMR building Level 3 Board Rooms, Wednesday 16 May, 12-1pm  
Our speaker will be Dr. Christian Nefzger, Research Fellow at Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute

His presentation is titled "Cell fate - a malleable developmental state".  Dr Nefzger's research is centered around the in-depth profiling of transcriptional and epigenetic changes that occur during cellular transitions, to understand their molecular basis and importantly, to control them. In this context, he studies cell fate conversions that occur rapidly as a consequence of differentiation or forced cellular reprogramming, as well as the subtler and slower, albeit functionally meaningful, changes that occurring during ageing of somatic stem cell niches.

Brief Biography
Dr Christian M. Nefzger acquired a Master equivalent in Biology from the Technical University Munich (Germany) and a PhD at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences investigating neuronal subtype specification. He is currently a research fellow in the group of Associate Prof. Jose Polo at the Department of Anatomy and Developmental Biology/ the Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute (Monash University, Melbourne) with publications in Cell, Cell Stem Cell, Cell Reports, Nature Methods, Nature Genetics and Nature Communications.
