'Genome editing with programmable nucleases in animal model generation and beyond' is the title of a lecture by Professor Xingxu Huang. The lecture will be held on Thursday 3 November at 12:00 in Lecture Hall C2 (opposite Chapel), Mater Dei Hospital.
All doctors and medical students are invited to attend.
Dr Xingxu Huang received a doctor degree from Southern Medical University in Guangzhou in 1998. He was a postdoctoral fellow in Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing from 1998-2000, and a postdoctoral research associate in Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, USA from 2001-2007. He was a professor and principal investigator in Model Animal Research Center, Nanjing University in Nanjing from 2008-2014. He joined the School of Life Science and Technology, ShanghaiTech University, as a Principal Investigator in 2015. His research interest is Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of reprogramming and lineage commitment in germ cell development working to develop genetic and epigenetic manipulation approaches, and applying such approaches combined with genome-wide analysis to understand the site-specific transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of germ cell development, including the elucidation and manipulation of the epigenetic and transcriptional network for reprogramming and lineage commitment.
