About the Symposium
In 2024, the Cecil H. and Ida Green Center for Reproductive Biology Sciences celebrates 50 years of leading-edge basic and translational research. The Green Center’s dynamic, forward-thinking program has fostered an environment where molecular mechanisms can drive new insights into human health. Through the adoption of state-of-the-art technologies, the Center has become the focal point of gene regulation and genomics at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
All UT Southwestern faculty, staff, and learners are invited to an all-day Regulatory Biology and Chromatin Symposium to celebrate the Green Center’s 50th Anniversary on Tuesday, October 29. The symposium will feature 9 distinguished speakers from across the United States and the world.
Lunch will be provided during the symposium.
