SUMMARY:No Ordinary Vampire Fish: Insights from Sea Lampreys on Neuroscience and Human Health
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Morgan\, MBL Senior Scientist and Director of the Bell Center \nRegistration link: https://mbl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_zNh_-vNkRdeyjouNywvWgw#/registration \nJennifer Morgan’s laboratory investigates the mechanisms of neuronal communication\, particularly how spinal cord injury and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s disrupt neurotransmission at the synapses. Using sea lampreys as a model organism\, her team explores regenerative processes such as axon and synapse regrowth to restore function after injury. Her lab explores how condensate biology can explain the sufficient clustering of synaptic vesicles within the synapse\, which is necessary for neurotransmission to occur\, and the contributions of condensates to disease pathogenesis.

SUMMARY:The Promise of Gene-Drives and Other Active Genetic Systems
DESCRIPTION:Porter Lecture \nEthan Bier\, Professor of Biology\, University of California San Diego \nLecture Abstract: This lecture will explore the application of CRISPR-based tools to gene drives and the development of other active genetic elements. Topics will include using CRISPR and gene drive principles in somatic cell genetics and genome engineering\, as well as real-world  applications of active genetics—such as combating insect-borne diseases like malaria\, reversing insecticide resistance\, and removing antibiotic resistance from bacteria in both environmental and clinical contexts. The lecture will also address the ethical considerations surrounding CRISPR and other transformative biological technologies. \nEthan Bier is a distinguished professor in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at UC San Diego\, using genetic strategies to study evolution and development. Most recently\, his lab developed active genetic systems that bypass the standard rules of Mendelian genetics. He graduated from UCSD in 1978 with degrees in Biology and Mathematics\, received his Ph.D. from Harvard Medical School  (1978-1985)\, and did his postdoctoral studies at UCSF with Drs. Lily and Yuh Nung Jan (1985-90)\, and then assumed a faculty position at UCSD in 1990. \nAbout the Porter Lecture\nThe annual Porter Lecture is held in honor of Dr. Keith Roberts Porter\, a former Director of the MBL considered by many to be the “Father” of cell biology. It is sponsored by the Keith R. Porter Endowment\, whose goal is to support communication and education in cell biology.

SUMMARY:From Curiosity to Discovery: My Quest for Excellence in RNA Science
DESCRIPTION:Blanton Tolbert\, Jacob Gershon-Cohen Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics\, University of Pennsylvania \nRegistraton link: https://mbl.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_l7Z3mcTfQLOnQCC9xTC3KA#/registration \nBlanton S. Tolbert is Vice President of Science Leadership and Culture\, Howard Hughes Medical Institute; and Jacob Gershon-Cohen Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics\, University of Pennsylvania. Tolbert leads HHMI’s Center for the Advancement of Science Leadership and Culture where he directs a portfolio of current and new programs at the undergraduate and graduate level\, an initiative to better equip HHMI scientists to provide culturally aware mentorship\, a curriculum to grow scientists’ skills to maintain inclusive environments\, and activities to develop strategic equity-centered initiatives and partnerships.  Tolbert is also a Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of Pennsylvania.  The research in the Tolbert group focuses on the biochemical mechanisms by which RNA viruses replicate within the cellular environment. His group leverages their fundamental understanding of the molecular biology of these viruses to identify novel targets for therapeutic intervention. The team has collaborated with colleagues to develop compounds with the potential to delay or halt the replication of SARS-CoV-2 and EV-A71. Tolbert earned a BS in chemistry at University of South Carolina and a PhD in biophysics and structural biology at University of Rochester. He was an HHMI postdoctoral fellow at University of Maryland\, Baltimore County\, with HHMI Investigator Michael Summers. In 2016\, Tolbert received the inaugural Morton L. Mandel Award for Excellence in Research and Service from the CWRU chemistry department. In 2023\, he was recognized by the International Society for Antiviral Research with the Diversity in Science and Excellence Award.
