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 Each group is strongly encouraged to present unpublished research.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.

Joanna Jachowicz

Postdoc

joanna@lncrna.caltech.edu

Title: “RNA-dependent spatial amplification of regulatory proteins enables chromosome-wide gene silencing during X chromosome inactivation”

Joanna did her B.S and M.S degrees in biology at Warsaw University where she studied function of pre-replication complex during early mouse development. Next, she moved for her Ph.D studies to Maria-Elena Torres-Padilla’s laboratory where she has shown that 3D genome organization of satellite repeats plays a key function in heterochromatin formation post-fertilization and that the tight regulation of LINE-1 transposon expression is crucial for mammalian development and regulates chromatin accessibility. Since 2017 she has been a postdoc at Mitch Guttman’s laboratory at Caltech where she works on a development of novel single-cell methods to measure 3D DNA and RNA organization in a nucleus (scSPRITE) and has been involved in multiple other projects investigating the roles of non-coding RNAs in gene regulation and nuclear architecture.

8:30-9:00 am Pacific Time, 20 minutes talk, then 10 minutes Q&A

Sora Yoon

Postdoc

sora.yoon@pennmedicine.upenn.edu

Title: “Stripenn detects architectural stripes from chromatin conformation data using computer vision”

Sora Yoon is a postdoctoral fellow in Vahedi Lab. She received her Ph.D in biological sciences from UNIST in South Korea. During her Ph.D, she focused on developing tools for pathway and/or network analysis of genomic and transcriptomic data. Her current interest is to discover biological meaning and role of architectural stripes.

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