Yvonne S. Eisele, PhD, assistant professor of medicine (Cardiology), School of Medicine, will present the next SVC lecture on Friday, June 14, at noon, in Scaife Hall’s Lecture Room 6. The title of her talk is “Shape Shifters: Protein Aggregation at the Crossroads of Health and Disease.”
SVC lectures are live streamed for people with Pitt login credentials (the lecture will not be available after it has ended). A link to the live stream and more information on Dr. Eisele’s lecture will be available at svc-seminar.pitt.edu two weeks prior to the event.
Due to upcoming construction, the location of this lecture is subject to change.
Please visit the Tumor Boards section under Healthcare Professionals for more information.
These meetings are for health care professionals and researchers and are not open to the public.
This year’s Retreat will focus on the topics of “Data Sharing and Data Analysis,” “Outreach, Screening and Catchment Area in Pennsylvania” and finally, “Cancer Immunology Intersection.” These three topics are of importance and relevance to all who are interested in cancer. We are also pleased to bring back the always-popular Lightning Round.
This year’s Ronald B. Herberman Lectureship Keynote Address will be given by Arthur S. Levine, MD, Senior Vice Chancellor for the Health Sciences and John and Gertrude Petersen Dean of the School of Medicine, who will be stepping down after two decades of distinguished leadership. As an oncologist and cancer researcher particularly focused on DNA damage and repair mechanisms during his career, and a major supporter of UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, Dr. Levine is a highly appropriate Keynote guest.

This seminar series is open to the public, including all interested University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University faculty, students, and staff. Arthur S. Levine, MD, Pitt’s senior vice chancellor for the health sciences and John and Gertrude Petersen Dean of Medicine, will introduce Young and lead the discussion following the lecture.
As a computational and systems biologist, Dr. Regev studies how gene regulation rewires when cells adapt to their environments, when they differentiate, and when species evolve. She and her lab members develop experimental and computational approaches to systematically decipher the mechanisms behind the transcriptional regulatory circuits in organisms ranging from yeast to humans. Dr. Regev investigates how these transcriptional circuits change on a variety of timescales: for example, when cells respond to changing growth conditions (within hours), when cells differentiate (within hours to days), and when species evolve (across millions of years). These studies have yielded detailed reconstructions and highlight key principles that govern the emergence of novel functions in gene regulation. Major research topics in the Regev lab include reconstructing the regulatory circuitry of mammalian cells, circuits controlling cell differentiation, the evolution of gene regulation, and understanding how specific genetic alterations in cancer-causing genes translate into the large-scale transcriptional changes that occur in tumor cells.
At Tel Aviv University, Dr. Regev studied biology, computer science, and mathematics, earning her MS in an interdisciplinary program and, later, her computational biology PhD. Dr. Regev, who is also a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, is the recipient of numerous honors and awards, including the Memorial Sloan Kettering Paul Marks Prize for Cancer Research, an NIH Director’s Pioneer Award, and the Overton Prize from the International Society for Computational Biology. She was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2019.
Every Friday from 9:15-10 am
The Bridgeside Research Forum is a seminar given by postdocs and graduate students every Friday from 12-1 pm during the academic year. Most weeks consist of two 30-minute talks, but there will be an occasional hour-long special seminar from an invited guest too.
The goal of this forum is to provide an opportunity for trainees to gain valuable experience presenting their research to a broad scientific community. The topics are diverse each week, so there is sure to be something for everyone. All are welcome to attend and enjoy a free lunch while you are there!
There is a free shuttle to transport people directly from the Hillman Cancer Center to Bridgeside Point II and back. The shuttle will depart Hillman at 11:30 am and then depart Bridgside at 1:15 pm
Please join us for our second annual ITTC/UPMC advances in cancer immunotherapy meeting. Refreshments will be provided.
