Talk Title: The 3D genome organization and long-range control of gene expression
Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series
Abstract: The 3D genome organization plays an essential role in orchestrating the many essential nuclear processes including gene regulation. Great strides have been made recently to characterize the 3D chromatin architecture in mammalian cells, with the development of both technologies for genome-wide study of chromatin interactions at increasing precision and concepts such as "chromosome territories," "topologically associating domains" and "chromatin loops." I will discuss how these new concepts are transforming the study of gene regulatory mechanisms in mammalian cells, by giving specific examples that illustrate the role of 3D chromatin organization in developing revolutionary tools in sequencing diploid genomes, understanding molecular basis of genetic disorders caused by genome structural variations and predicting target genes of enhancers.

Talk Title: iPS cell technology and disease research
Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series
Abstract: The development of iPS cell technology has revolutionized our ability to study human diseases in defined in vitro cell culture systems. A major problem with using iPS cells for this "disease in the dish" approach is the choice of control cells, because of the unpredictable variability between different iPS/ES cells to differentiate into a given lineage. Recently developed efficient gene editing methods such as the CRISPR/Cas system allow for the creation of genetically defined models of monogenic as well as polygenic human disorders. This seminar will cover the state of pluripotency, disease modeling and iPS cells, and Parkinson's disease.

Speaker: James Wells, Professor, Developmental Biology; Director for Basic Research, Endocrinology; Director of the Pluripotent Stem Cell Facility/Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center
Talk Title: Pluripotent stem cell-derived tissues to study development and disease of the GI tract
Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series
Abstract: Research in the Wells Lab focuses on identifying the molecular mechanisms that control organogenesis and on using this information to direct the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells into human organ tissues (organoids) including pancreas, stomach and intestine. Organoids are being used to model diabetes and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and are being studied for their therapeutic potential to restore function to damaged tissues.

Talk Title: Imaging heart development and function in zebrafish
Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series
Abstract: My lab investigates questions related to organogenesis, including cell differentiation, tissue morphogenesis, organ homeostasis and function, as well as organ regeneration. We study these questions in the zebrafish as well as in the mouse and are currently looking at several mesodermal (heart, vasculature) and endodermal (pancreas, lung) organs. We utilize both forward and reverse genetic approaches, and aim to dissect cellular processes using high-resolution live imaging. One goal of our studies is to gain understanding of vertebrate organ development at the single-cell level, and beyond. This talk will focus on cardiac development and function.
