SUMMARY:Teresa V. Bowman\, Ph.D. – VAI Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Illuminating Blood Stem Cell Emergence\, Aging\, and Failure\nHematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are among the most clinically important stem cell populations\, and disruptions in their function contribute to a wide range of blood disorders\, including myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Our research aims to define the molecular pathways that control how HSCs develop\, maintain their function\, and age—and to understand the mechanisms that lead to their dysfunction in disease. We integrate the complementary strengths of zebrafish and human systems to investigate the developmental and genetic regulation of HSC biology. Zebrafish provide exceptional genetic tractability\, in vivo imaging access\, robust transplantation assays\, and high-throughput screening potential. Human cells enable us to translate and validate key discoveries from our zebrafish models in the context of human disease and therapeutic applications. Through this combined approach\, we have uncovered factors essential for HSC formation and function. These insights help guide new strategies to enhance HSC performance in aging and disease and to improve the derivation of functional HSCs from pluripotent stem cells. \nSpeaker Information: \nTeresa V.

SUMMARY:James Nuñez\, Ph.D. – VAI Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Editing the human epigenome with CRISPR\nGeneral approaches for heritably altering gene expression advances scientific discoveries and therapeutic efforts to manage and treat diseases. An emerging platform for gene perturbation is CRISPR epigenetic editing – technologies that enable locus-specific rewriting of DNA methylation and histone modifications. I will present our recent advances in developing new CRISPR epigenetic editing technologies\, specifically our CRISPRoff platforms that program long-term gene silencing across thousands of human genes. Using CRISPRoff as a platform to follow the establishment of heterochromatin de novo in cells\, I will present our unpublished data that link repressive histone marks and DNA methylation with RNA modifications to program epigenetic silencing of transposable elements. Our work advances technologies for site-specific editing of epigenetic modifications while opening biological insights into RNA-mediated establishment of epigenetic programs in human cells. \nSpeaker Information: \nJames Nuñez\, Ph.D. \nAssistant Professor\, Department of Molecular & Cell Biology\, UC Berkeley \nHost: \nMitchell Roth\, Ph.D.\, Postdoctoral Fellow\, Hong Li Laboratory \nIf you’d like to learn more about Dr. Nuñez and his research\, please visit: https://vcresearch.berkeley.edu/faculty/james-nunez

SUMMARY:Daniel Schramek\, Ph.D.\, M.D. – VAI Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Decoding Aneuploidies – using CRISPR technologies in mice to unravel novel cancer driver genes in recurrent CNA\nChromosome instability is highly prevalent in cancer and drives large scale chromosomal imbalances\, known as aneuploidies. How aneuploidy contributes to tumorigenesis remains difficult to study due to the vast numbers of genes affected. Here\, we established a CRISPR Knock Out and Activation Linked Assay (CRISPR-KOALA)\, enabling high-throughput bidirectional genetic screens in immune-competent mouse models of cancer. We developed a compendium of the ten most frequent human chromosome arm-level alterations in basal-like breast cancer (BLBC)\, a disease type driven by large copy number alterations (CNAs).  Using CRISPR-KOALA\, we screened the mouse orthologs of all 3\,752 genes on these arms and identified 90 cancer driver genes\, the vast majority of which have hitherto unknown functions in cancer. These genes drive distinct signalling pathways including MAPK\, Hippo and WNT\, reflecting the high degree of BLBC heterogeneity. Manipulating the identified cancer driver genes overcomes the need for CNAs in p53-mutant BLBC mouse models. Mechanistically\, we uncover PLGRKT as a potent oncogene that lies on chromosome 9p and show that its tumor-promoting activity is associated with highly stress-resistant mitochondria and an increased capacity to detoxify reactive oxygen species. Together\, our findings reveal that arm-level CNAs can function to select specific driver genes to promote heterogeneous biological processes. \nSpeaker Information: \nDaniel Schramek\, Ph.D.\, M.D.\nLunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute \nHost: \nNatasha Zandstra\, Ph.D. Candidate\, VAI Graduate School \nIf you’d like to learn more about Dr. Schramek and his research\, please visit: https://www.lunenfeld.ca/?page=schramek-daniel

SUMMARY:Horizons in Metabolism: Cell-Specific Metabolism
DESCRIPTION:Cells have unique metabolic signatures that reflect healthy and diseased states. Accurate analysis of these signatures in living tissues is technically challenging and requires targeted approaches that don’t disrupt metabolism. Overcoming this barrier could revolutionize basic discovery research\, as well as diagnostics and treatments for cancer\, neurodegenerative disorders and many other diseases. \nHorizons in Metabolism: Cell-Specific Metabolism will feature talks at the leading edge of mechanistic single cell metabolism research with an eye toward technology development and clinical implications. The symposium will focus on big questions\, explore the latest research and provide ample opportunities for networking.  \nFor questions or to be added to our email list\, please contact Courtney Zirkle.
