March 6th - Genetic Academic Sessions
Location: Gordon Chown Room, Basement CSB
Research rounds: Thursday, March 6th 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Presenter: Yueqin Zhou, PhD candidate
Topic: “Familial ALS with FUS mutations has compromised alternative splicing and autoregulation - a mechanism of rare disease with broad implication?”
After this session, participants will be able to:
Understand the genetics bases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Describe the mechanism of FUS autoregulation through alternative splicing.
Discuss the significance of dysregulated FUS autoregulation in ALS-FUS pathogenesis and its therapeutic implication..
This event is an accredited group learning activity as defined by the Maintenance of Certification Program of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada

February 26 - BMG Departmental Seminar
Berardino Petrelli, M.Sc. Student with Dr. Geoff Hicks
Time: 12:45 – 1:15 pm
Location: Theatre A “Mezzanine”
Seminar Title: A FASD Mouse Model: Biochemically Mimicking Alcohol Exposure using Gsc promoter driven Cyp26A1 cDNA
Learning Objectives:
· Describe Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and the FASD continuum.
· Describe the clinical features of FAS in humans and explain the resultant phenotypic effects obtained in murine models of FAS.
· Explain the rationale for the molecular strategy and targeting of the CYP26A1:eGFP cassette to the Goosecoid (Gsc) locus and describe cassette validation techniques in vitro and in vivo.
