Registered for the @Cornell #COVID19 (virtual) Summit? If so, don't miss "Racial Disparities of COVID-19: Potential Social and Biological Determinants," by @EngIPM Member Melissa B. Davis, Ph.D. (@MeliD32) at 11:07 AM on Nov. 5th. #PrecisionMedicine

We hope our Weill Cornell Medicine colleagues can join us for the next Institute for Computational Biomedicine Seminar Series (virtual) lecture "Chromosome folding by phase separation of different chromatin states," by Job Dekker, Ph.D. (below) of @UMassMedical on Nov. 9th at 11 AM. Hosted by @EngIPM Member Ekta Khurana, Ph.D.

Please meet Pooja Chandra, a Bioinformatics Analyst at Englander Institute of Precision Medicine. Her work involves data analysis for Whole Exome sequencing data.

We hope our Weill Cornell Colleagues can join us for our next Seminar Series lecture!

The @EngIPM is a great place to begin and grow your career! Just ask Ken Eng, who earned his Masters at @WeillCornell and was among our first team members. Learn about his work, why he enjoys mentoring, and how #COVID19 has affected him. https://eipm.weill.cornell.edu//a-conversation-with-eipms/

Don't miss the next @EngIPM Seminar Series talk, #COVID19: Pathophysiology and Staging of a New Disease: Implications for Clinical Management," by Carlos Cordon-Cardo, MD, PhD, Chairman, Dept of #Pathology @IcahnMountSinai Oct. 12th, Noon. Zoom mtg details emailed to #WCM staff

Please join us in welcoming Troy Kane to the EIPM team! Troy graduated from Boston University with a B.A in Biology and minor in Environmental Science. He is a Research Technician supporting the Specimen Processing platform at the EIPM. His focus is coordinating sample intake and processing from various projects and utilizing these research samples for downstream genetic sequencing via nucleic acid extraction.

Please join us in welcoming Jared Capuano to our team! He currently works on the organoid platform as a research technician. The organoid team is focused on developing the technology for personalized, ex-vivo models for cancer by culturing patient derived cell lines in 3D. He is particularly interested in exploring new synthetic hydrogels as a way to mimic extracellular matrix and produce organoids that are even closer to native tumor tissue. He received his B.S. in Bioengineering from Clemson University.
