Alan Jiao, Ph.D., a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, University of Oxford, will be giving a seminar on Thursday, April 2, at 4:00pm in Kollros Auditorium (Room 101), Biology Building East (BBE). Miles Pufall, Ph.D., is the faculty host.

Summary: Rare brain tumors in children are driven by histone mutations. My research aims to fix the epigenetic consequences of these mutations, towards discovering new mechanisms of gene regulation and new therapeutic strategies.
