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.
