Barbara Lynne Kee, PhD, will be the featured speaker at the latest installment of Seminars in Investigative Medicine at WMed.
Dr. Kee will present “Transcriptional Repression in Lymphocyte Cell Fate” from noon to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, January 10, 2018, in TBL 2 at the W.E. Upjohn M.D. Campus in downtown Kalamazoo.
Dr. Kee is a professor of Pathology at the University of Chicago and a member of the Committee on Cancer Biology and the Committee on Molecular Medicine/MPMM. The work in Dr. Kee’s lab at the University of Chicago is centered around the idea that the development of mature hematopoietic cells requires the coordinated activity of many transcription factors that regulate differentiation, survival, and proliferation. Her lab is interested in understanding how these processes are controlled during commitment of multipotent cells to the lymphoid lineages.
Prior to Dr. Kee’s presentation on January 10, a free lunch will be available from 11:45 a.m. to noon. Dr. Kee’s presentation will begin promptly at noon. The event is free and open to the public and CME credit and MEDU credit (for students) is available.
If you plan to attend, please send an RSVP to Immunobiology@wmed.edu to reserve your seat. Registration information for the event can be found here.
