New Strategies to Identify Genes Linked to Human Birth Defects
This presentation will introduce an integrated approach to identify genes linked to human structural birth defects. Specifically, the application of systems based approaches in combination with animal models to identify the genetic basis of ocular and craniofacial defects will be discussed.
Dr. Lachke is an Assistant Professor at the University of Delaware’s Department of Biological Sciences and a Pew Scholar in Biomedical Sciences. He holds a Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Iowa and was an Instructor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School prior to joining UD. His research program on the genetic basis of ocular and craniofacial developmental defects is funded by R01 and R03 grants from NEI and NIDCR (NIH).
The Innovative Discoveries Series, sponsored by the Delaware Clinical & Translational Science ACCEL program and the Christiana Care Value Institute, features informal presentations on topics relevant to current research and healthcare practice, led by knowledgeable and experienced presenters. There are offerings for researchers, healthcare providers, and community members of varying levels of experience.
These free talks are held Fridays at noon at Christiana Hospital but can be viewed from your home or office computer. Earn CMEs by participating in-person or online. Lunch is served and all are welcome to attend.
