Department Seminar
Upcoming Seminar
Moiré excitons in van der Waals Materials
Dr. Gang Lu, CSU Northridge
May 7, 2025
4:00pm-5:00pm in HSCI-105
Common complex diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease are the result of interactions between genetic and environmental risks factors and involve network perturbations across molecular entities, cell types, tissues, and organ systems. Dissecting such complexity necessitates a multitissue multiomics approach that integrates bulk and single cell multiomics data (genome, epigenome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, gut microbiome) across relevant tissues and cell types. I will delineate the conceptual framework underlying our recent method development efforts that enable causal network modeling of multiomics data, and showcase application examples of such approaches in mechanistic and drug discovery in biomedicine.
Seminars are held on Wednesdays at 4:00pm. All are invited to attend.
