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 Each group is strongly encouraged to present unpublished research.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.

8:00-8:30 am Pacific Time (20 minute presentation, 10 minute QA)
Jodi Lee
Grad Student
Title: “Predictive modeling to assess the role of 3D genome folding in human congenital heart disease”
Jodi is a 4th year graduate student studying genetics in Dr. Katherine Pollard’s Lab at the University of California, San Francisco. Jodi’s research focuses on creating and working with deep learning models to study the complex DNA sequence grammar regulating the genome. Currently, she is leveraging Cardiac-Akita, a DNA sequence to 3D genome folding deep learning model, to predict how genetic variants associated with congenital heart defects disrupt 3D genome contacts.
8:30-9:00 am Pacific Time (20 minute presentation, 10 minute QA)
Yanyu Zhu
Postdoctoral Researcher
Title: “High-resolution Dynamic Imaging of Chromatin DNA Communication using Oligo-LiveFISH”
Yanyu Zhu is a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Stanley Qi’s Lab in the Department of Bioengineering at Stanford University. He obtained his B.S. in Chemistry from Peking University and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. In collaboration with Prof. W. E. Moerner’s lab, he developed and applied a high-resolution, reagent-based DNA imaging platform, Oligo-LiveFISH, to investigate 3D chromatin dynamics in live cells. His current research focuses on applying Oligo-LiveFISH to study various biological questions such as the relationship between the 3D genome and gene regulation in real time, as well as investigating the dynamic process of DNA repair.
The Webinar Series will be on the 4th Friday of each month from 8am-9am Pacific Time, 11am-12pm Eastern Time.
