This event will be held Thursday\, December 4th from 5-7 pm at Thomson house. Please join us to listen to three wonderful speakers who aim to address clinical challenges using single cell technologies.  \n \nEvent Details\n\n\n Three talks followed by a panel discussion \n No regis tration required\n Hors d'oeuvres\, alcoholic\, and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided\n\n\nSpeakers\n\nElena Kuzmin\, PhD\n\nElena Kuzmin is a n Assistant Professor at the Centre for Applied Synthetic Biology\, Concor dia University and Canada Research Chair Tier 2 in Synthetic and Functiona l Genomics. She is cross-appointed to the Goodman Cancer Institute and the Department of Human Genetics at Ðãɫֱ²¥. Her main research area is integrative synthetic and functional genomics\, with a focus on comple x genetic interaction networks. She received an undergraduate degree in hu man biology and zoology at the University of Toronto\, M.Sc. in laboratory medicine and pathobiology at the SickKids Research Institute\, followed b y a Ph.D. in molecular genetics at the Donnelly Centre\, University of Tor onto. She then conducted postdoctoral work at the Goodman Cancer Research Centre\, Ðãɫֱ²¥.\n\nDavid Langlais\, PhD\n\nDavid Langlais is a n Associate Professor in the Departments of Human Genetics and Microbiolog y & Immunology at Ðãɫֱ²¥. He leads the Inflammation Genomics La boratory at the Dahdaleh Institute of Genomic Medicine. Dr. Langlais earne d his Ph.D. with honors in Molecular Biology in 2011 at University of Mont real\, uncovering complex transcriptional circuits at the immuno-neuroendo crine interface. He then completed postdoctoral training with Dr. Philippe Gros at Ðãɫֱ²¥\, where he developed a translational immunogenomics progra m. Dr. Langlais’ research has led to the discovery of novel genes causing immunodeficiencies and has provided deep mechanistic insights into immune diseases and host-parasite interactions\, integrating cutting-edge genomic \, cellular\, and in vivo approaches. Dr. Langlais is the recipient of sev eral honors\, including FRQS Junior Investigator Awards and the Milstein Y oung Investigator Award from the International Cytokine and Interferon Soc iety. His research was also recognized among the Top 10 Discoveries of the Year by Québec Science in both 2018 and 2022.\n\nYumin Zheng\n\nYumin Zhe ng is a PhD candidate in Quantitative Life Sciences at Ðãɫֱ²¥\, supervised by Professor Jun Ding. His research focuses on developing AI-d riven virtual cell modeling methods by leveraging single-cell data. He is particularly interested in modeling spatiotemporal cellular dynamics and p redicting cellular responses to interventions.\n DTSTART:20251204T220000Z DTEND:20251205T000000Z LOCATION:CA\, Thomson House\, 3650 McTavish St SUMMARY:Single Cell Technologies in Pre-Clinical & Clinical Solutions URL:/dna-to-rna/channels/event/single-cell-technologie s-pre-clinical-clinical-solutions-369292 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
