Please join us for the next NIPM Seminar Thursday February 9, 2023, from 12:00pm - 1:30pm with Ryan Corces, Ph.D. Assistant Investigator Gladstone Institutes

Title of talk: Understanding neurodegenerative disease through the noncoding genome

Short Bio - Ryan started his scientific career at Princeton University where he graduated with a focus in Molecular Biology and Computer Science. Ryan's thesis work at Stanford University in the laboratory of Dr. Ravi Majeti centered on the genetic evolution of acute myeloid leukemia where he demonstrated that the earliest mutations that occur in acute myeloid leukemia affect genes that regulate the epigenome. Following this line of study, Ryan began his postdoctoral work in the laboratory of Dr. Howard Chang studying epigenetics in human disease. This work eventually led Ryan to a collaboration with Dr. Thomas Montine which refocused his interests to study neurological disease. Ryan joined the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease in July, 2020 to study the contributions of genetic and non-genetic factors to neurodegenerative diseases. Using computational biology, large-scale screens, and single-cell technologies, Ryan's laboratory probes the epigenome of cells derived from patients, with the aim to understand how it impacts disease risk and to develop novel avenues for therapeutic interventions.
