PNRI’s Science Matters Seminar: Precision Medicine – Tackling the Mysteries of Genetic Diseases

In this seminar, Dr. Linda (Shen) Gu will discuss how her lab identifies novel disease-causing genes in patients and how they functionally characterize these genes and variants using stem cell and animal models to uncover their roles in diseases. She will also highlight her lab’s efforts to translate these findings into personalized therapeutics and gene therapies tailored to individual patients. Register today for free!

PNRI’s Science Matters free, virtual seminars feature discussions with scientists around the globe about exciting research in genetics, genomics, and evolutionary biology with important societal impact. Topics include research on the genetics of ethnically diverse populations, diseases afflicting vulnerable or underserved groups, and efforts to expand the diversity (broadly defined) of research subjects or the scientific workforce.
