PBSE Fall Research Conference

PBSE ANNUAL RESEARCH CONFERENCE

In the fall of each year, PBSE sponsors a research conference at an off-campus location to introduce new predoctoral fellows to our wider research community. Approximately 150 graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty members from the Departments of Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology, Biomolecular Engineering, Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Microbiology and Environmental Toxicology attend. In addition to feature presentations by new PBSE faculty and an invited keynote speaker (see below), the conference includes numerous short presentations by pre- and postdoctoral fellows. The informal conference format is designed to encourage scientific discussion across disciplines to foster future research collaborations.

Keynote Speaker

Alexander Marson

UCSF, School of Medicine

Alex Marson is Director of the Gladstone-UCSF Institute of Genomic Immunology, and Associate Professor in the UCSF Department of Medicine. The Marson Lab is pioneering new CRISPR gene editing technologies that offer faster, cheaper and more precise ways to re-write DNA programs in human immune cells. With these tools, the lab is probing genetic underpinnings of type 1 diabetes and other immune-mediated diseases and engineering new cellular immunotherapies.
