Event Description

Dr. Abby Dernburg will deliver the 2022 N. Ronald Morris Lecture, titled “Spatially Regulated Condensation Mediates Chromosome Synapsis and Crossover Control."

Dr. Dernburg studies chromosome organization and dynamics during meiosis. Her work has helped describe how chromosomes find and recognize their partners, and how recombination between chromosomes is regulated. Dr. Dernburg’s recent studies have elucidated a role for liquid-liquid phase separation (condensation) in these processes. Her team leverages the worm Caenorhabditis elegans as a powerful model system, using the tools of genetics and biochemistry, as well as cell and structural biology. 

Dr. Dernburg is a professor in Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of California, Berkeley and a faculty senior scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. She has been an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute since 2008. In 2017 she was elected as a fellow of the American Society of Cell Biology.

Event Description

• Janet Alder and Jim Millonig from the School of Graduate Studies will present a new document from the AAMC on Appropriate Treatment of Research Trainees for faculty to learn about best practices in mentoring

• This will be followed by an interactive session run by CAPS counselors for faculty to learn about approaches and resources for dealing with students in distress.

• Finally we will discuss a case study and share experiences and advice in mentoring biomedical PhD students
