Friday, October 23 at 10:00 am - 11:00 am Add to Calendar 2026-10-23 10:00:00 2026-10-23 11:00:00 CTB/OFS Special Seminar: Dr. Laertis Ikonomou | “Deciphering Gene Regulatory Networks in Early Lung Epithelium” Please join us for a special CTB/OFS seminar with Dr. Laertis Ikonomou, University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, on Friday, October 23, 2026, from 10:00 - 11:00 am. Friday, October 23rd, 10:00 - 11:00 am, HSW-302 Presentation Title: "Deciphering Gene Regulatory Networks in Early Lung Epithelium" Dr. Laertis Ikonomou is an Associate Professor at the Department of Oral Biology, University at Buffalo. His major research interests are in the areas of pluripotent stem cell biology and developmental biology, with emphasis on foregut and dental in vivo biology and its applications in directed differentiation of pluripotent stem cells. His research, supported by the NIH and the American Thoracic Society, defined for the first time the genetic program of lung primordial progenitors and current studies are focused on the gene regulatory networks underlying early lung epithelial fate decisions.   Zoom Link: https://ucsf.zoom.us/j/97276799562?pwd=IPql4AcXFWsFSPDcszHZONvyNjS4kW.1 Meeting ID: 972 7679 9562 Passcode: 410286 Please contact [email protected] with questions.
