The 4DN Consortium Scientific Webinar Series is designed to promote sharing ideas and establishment of new collaborations among the consortium members. It features scientific presentations by 4DN member group. These presentations are focused on new discoveries, and new approaches and are not meant to be high-level summaries of deliverables/objectives of each project as in annual consortium meetings. Each group is strongly encouraged to present unpublished research. The PI of each member group may designate either themselves or members of their group to give the presentation.

The format of this webinar series will consist of hour-long online video conferences. Each Webinar will feature two presentations, with each presentation allocated 20’ of talk time followed by 10’ of discussion. All member groups of 4DN consortium are expected to present once in this round, although some centers may present twice given the size of their grants.

The Webinar organization committee has discussed and come up with a schedule for presentations after February 2021. See the schedule here: Scientific Webinar Assignment 2021-2024.

The schedule is ranked by funded project and the corresponding PI's last name. While the corresponding PI is put in the presentation slot, it is up to the corresponding PI to decide who in their team is to give the talk. It is encouraged that trainees are given the chance to present. If the corresponding PI wants to switch with someone else on the list in a mutual agreement, then she/he has the responsibility to arrange it and let the Webinar organization committee know.

8:00-8:20 am Pacific Time, 20 minutes talk, then 10 minutes Q&A

Jesse Dixon

PhD

jedixon@salk.edu

Title: “3D genome structural alterations and oncogene expression in cancer genomes.”

Jesse Dixon is an Assistant Professor at the Salk Institute in San Diego, CA, whose lab is interested in 3D genome folding and its relationship with somatic mutations. Prior to joining Salk, Dr. Dixon was a graduate student at UC San Diego in the laboratory of Dr. Bing Ren, where he studied 3D genome structure in embryonic stem cell differentiation.

8:30-8:50 am Pacific Time, 20 minutes talk, then 10 minutes Q&A

Yarui Diao

PhD

yarui.diao@duke.edu

Title: “Analysis of cis-regulatory chromatin contacts anchored on open DNA sequences by HiCAR”

Yarui received his PhD in Biochemistry from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. His PhD work was focused on transcriptional and epigenetic control of skeletal muscle regeneration. With the support of Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP) fellowship, he joined Dr. Bing Ren’s lab at UCSD for his postdoc training, and lead the effort to develop high-throughput CRISPR screening strategies to identify functional enhancers from the native chromatin context. He was also a key team member to generate the promoter capture Hi-C data using 27 human cells and primary tissues. In Sep 2018, he started his faculty position as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cell Biology at Duke University, to continue his effort to develop and deploy cutting-edge functional genomics tools to delineate the gene regulation mechanism controlling tissue regeneration. He is the recipient of NHGRI Genomic Innovator Award, V Scholar for Cancer Research, Glenn foundation and AFAR Junior Faculty Award, and Duke University Whitehead scholar.

The Webinar Series will be on the 4th Friday of each month from 8am-9am Pacific Time, 11am-12pm Eastern Time.
