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 Each group is strongly encouraged to present unpublished research.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.

Bojing (Blair) Jia

MD/PhD Student

b2jia@ucsd.edu

Title: “A spatial genome aligner for multiplexed DNA-FISH”

Bojing Blair Jia is an MD/PhD student in Prof. Bing Ren’s lab at UCSD, where he is currently completing his PhD in Bioinformatics & Systems Biology. Previously he read biophysics at McGill University in Montréal, QC, during which he prototyped single-molecule microscopy tools. His current research interests lie at the intersection of microscopy and genomics, for which he is developing algorithms to unravel principles of chromatin organization and copy number variations from noisy multiplexed genome imaging technologies.

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