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 Each group is strongly encouraged to present unpublished research.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.

Maureen Pittman

PhD Candidate

Title: “A convolutional neural network predicts chromatin contact frequency and regulatory consequences of structural variation”

Maureen Pittman is a PhD candidate at the University of California San Francisco and the Gladstone Institutes. She completed her B.Sc. in Environmental Sciences and Quantitative Biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, followed by a post-baccalaureate research appointment in comparative genomics at the Environmental Protection Agency. Maureen then joined the lab of Katherine S. Pollard in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the Gladstone Institute of Data Science and Biotechnology, where she uses computational techniques to probe the genetic causes of congenital heart defects and other developmental conditions. Her thesis work focuses on the role of 3D chromatin conformation in the regulation of transcription factors during heart development.

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