2020 LOUNSBERY LECTURE: JAY SHENDURE

Jay Shendure, recipient of the 2019 Richard Lounsbery Award, will present the 2020 Lounsbery Lecture, entitled “Global, Single Cell Views of Human and Mouse Development." This event will take place on Tuesday, March 17th*, and is open to the public. A live webcast will be available for those who are unable to attend the event in person. A reception is to follow after the talk.

Mammalian development is a remarkable process, wherein a single cell and a single genome give rise to a complex, highly structured organism comprised of billions-to-trillions of cells with myriad functions. In his talk, Dr. Shendure will describe his ongoing efforts to globally characterize human and mouse development at single cell resolution, in particular with respect to molecular processes such as gene expression and chromatin accessibility, as well as to compare such developmental single cell atlases of across species.
