Description
"A Conversation with..." is a series of technical talks with invited speakers and are an intimate and interactive session allowing for a deeper conversation about a technical topic. The sessions are typically scheduled after broader lectures with said speaker, which we strongly encourage you to attend.
Michael Young is an American geneticist who contributed to the discovery of molecular mechanisms that regulate circadian rhythm, the 24-hour period of biological activity in humans, and other organisms. He was awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
Paolo Sassone-Corsi, PhD, is the director of the Center for Epigenetics and Metabolism and Donald Bren Professor in the Department of Biological Chemistry. Dr. Sassone-Corsi studies gene expression and signal transduction, with an emphasis on the links between cellular metabolism, epigenetics and the circadian clock. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and an external professor of the Max Planck Society, Germany.

Paolo Sassone-Corsi
Director, Center for Epigenetics and Metabolism, University of California, Irvine. Dr. Sassone-corsi's major interest is concentrated on the mechanisms of signal transduction able to modulate nuclear functions and, in particular gene expression, chromatin remodeling and epigenetic control. These events have important consequences for the understanding of cellular proliferation, oncogenesis and differentiation.
