Topic: The goal of our research is to obtain a detailed molecular understanding of the regulatory circuits that control chromosome segregation and what happens to cells in which these mechanisms fail and hence become aneuploid

January 17
J. Sanford Schwartz, MD
The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania

Joan Massague, PhD
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
j-massague@ski.mskcc.org
