SUMMARY:SMGM: Bruce Yanker\, Ph.D. Professor of Genetics and Neurology at Harvard Medical School
DESCRIPTION:BWH DIVISION OF GENETICS \n2025-2026 Academic year Seminars in Molecular and Genomic Medicine (SMGM) \nTuesday\, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM • NRB 457 \nSMGM: Bruce Yanker\, Ph.D. Professor of Genetics and Neurology at Harvard Medical School \n“Metallo-Genomic Regulation in Aging and Neurodegeneration” \nBruce A. Yankner\, M.D.\, Ph.D. is Professor of Genetics and Neurology at Harvard Medical School\, Co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging\, Co-Chair of the Harvard Initiative on Aging\, and Director of the Harvard Neurodegeneration Training Program. Dr. Yankner graduated from Princeton University\, received his M.D. and Ph.D. from Stanford University\, and did a residency at Massachusetts General Hospital. His work has advanced our understanding of pathogenic mechanisms in Alzheimer’s disease\, Parkinson’s disease\, Down’s syndrome\, and diabetes\, beginning with the discovery that amyloid proteins are toxic molecules. His laboratory was also the first to describe the transcriptome of the aging human brain\, its evolution\, and a role for DNA damage in gene regulation during aging.  More recently\, his laboratory has identified a pathway of gene regulation that modulates aging\, memory loss\, and the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease.

SUMMARY:Special Seminar Dr. Gen-Sheng Feng
DESCRIPTION:Special Seminar Dr. Gen-Sheng Feng\, Thursday\, June 5th\, 2025\, at 9 AM in NRB Room 457. \nTalk Title: “Mechanism and Immunotherapy of Liver Cancer” \nTopic: Mechanisms of liver tumorigenesis\, challenges and opportunities in cancer immunotherapy. \nLocation: New Research Building (NRB)\, Room 457\, 9:00 AM \n  \nBio: Gen-Sheng Feng\, PhD\, is a Professor in the Departments of Pathology and Molecular Biology at the University of California\, San Diego. His research investigates the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying liver cancer\, with a particular focus on paradoxical roles of classical oncoproteins and the immune microenvironment in hepatocarcinogenesis.  \nDr. Feng’s laboratory has made foundational discoveries in liver cancer biology\, including the unexpected tumor-suppressive roles of signaling molecules traditionally viewed as oncogenic. His group has demonstrated that loss of such molecules in hepatocytes can paradoxically exacerbate tumor development\, reshaping our understanding of liver tumor initiation. More recently\, his team has pioneered combinatorial immunotherapy strategies that synergize innate and adaptive immune activation to prevent and treat liver cancer\, revealing key liver-specific barriers to checkpoint blockade efficacy. \nA prolific and highly cited investigator\, Dr. Feng has authored over 180 peer-reviewed publications. His research has been continuously funded by the NIH since 1996. Dr. Feng is an elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and serves on the editorial boards of Hepatology\, Journal of Hepatology\, and Molecular Cancer Research\, among others.  \nPlease contact organizing Administrator Alisha Samuel amsamuel@mgb.orgwith any questions or to arrange 1:1 meetings with the speaker (a few slots remaining)

SUMMARY:SMGM: Raul Mostoslavsky\, Ph.D. Scientific Director\, The Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center
DESCRIPTION:BWH DIVISION OF GENETICS \n2024-2025 Academic year Seminars in Molecular and Genomic Medicine (SMGM) \nTuesday\, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM • NRB 457 \nSMGM: Raul Mostoslavsky\, Ph.D. Scientific Director\, The Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center \nDr. Mostoslavsky received his MD from the University of Tucuman\, Argentina\, and his PhD from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is currently the Scientific Director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Krantz Family Cancer Center\, and the Laurel Schwartz Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. His laboratory is interested in understanding the role of chromatin dynamics in modulating cellular homeostasis\, particularly the crosstalk between epigenetics and metabolism. His work has focused on the mammalian Sir2 homologue\, SIRT6\, a histone deacetylase.

SUMMARY:Special Seminar with Saud Aldubayan\, Ph.D.  Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Computational Biologist at the Department of Medical Oncology\, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
DESCRIPTION:BWH DIVISION OF GENETICS \nThursday\, 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM • NRB 457 \nSpecial Seminar with Saud Aldubayan\, Ph.D. Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Computational Biologist at the Department of Medical Oncology\, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute \nTitle: “Leveraging Integrative Germline Genomics and Computational Frameworks to Assess Cancer Risk and Guide Management.” \nSaud AlDubayan\, MD\, is an Instructor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School\, a Computational Biologist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute\, a Clinical Geneticist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital\, and an Associate Scientist at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Dr. AlDubayan earned his medical degree from King Khalid University in Saudi Arabia. He completed his clinical training in Internal Medicine at the University of Toronto\, followed by a fellowship in Clinical Genetics and Genomics at Harvard Medical School. He also pursued a postdoctoral research fellowship in Computational Genomics at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Broad Institute. \nDr. AlDubayan’s research focuses on utilizing various computational approaches to identify novel inherited genomic predictors of cancer risk\, disease progression\, and response to therapy and explore clinically focused questions using genomic\, transcriptomic\, and methylation data. Towards that end\, Dr. AlDubayan led the effort to identify two novel colorectal cancer (CRC) predisposition genes (ATM and PALB2)\, collectively explaining CRC risk in 1.2% of all CRC patients. He also spearheaded an international effort to identify the first Mendelian germline predisposition gene in testicular germ cell tumors\, CHEK2\, with potentially immediate clinical and mechanistic implications. More recently\, Dr. AlDubayan used machine-learning approaches on the germline genetic data of cancer patients to uncover clinically informative germline drivers of cancer risk\, cancer progression\, and response to therapy\, an effort that may introduce a new paradigm for deep learning-based clinical germline variant characterization. Dr. AlDubayan has received several awards\, including a Young Investigator Award from the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF)\, a Career Development Award from the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)\, a Physician Research Award from the US Department of Defense (DoD)\, a Charles A. King Trust Postdoctoral Fellowship\, and an Idea Development Award from the U.S. Department of Defense.
