Yellowstone Conference room

Plan

• Alison will arrive at 7:00AM on Wednesday
• Tanya (BITS) will help calibrate at 7:45AM
• email [email protected] with any questions
• Alison will go to BITS desk if any tech problems arise
• Set aside 3 lunches for guest speakers

3-screen setup

• Tap the main touch panel to activate it
• Hold the upper left corner of the screen for 10 seconds
• “Divide” the room
• Once the room is divided, go to the other touch panel on the other side of the room and select “Conduct A Presentation”
• Go back to main touch panel and tap the left corner of the screen
• Select “Conducted A Presentation” and select the “Advanced Menu”
• Drag icon representing your chosen source to all 3 projectors and lectern monitor

Guest lectures

• Karthik Shekhar is a postdoctoral associate with Aviv Regev. He graduated in 2015 with a PhD chemical engineering in MIT. He is interesting in understanding the cellular organization, dynamics and development of complex tissues using single-cell approaches.

• Rajiv Narayan is a computational biologist in the CMap team since 2008, where he contributes to analysis and algorithm development for L1000 gene expression assay. Prior to joining the Broad institute, he studied medicine at St. John’s Medical College, Bangalore, before pursuing biomedical research at IIT Mumbai, followed by a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering at Boston University. While at Boston University, he applied computational methods to model neural spike patterns in the auditory cortex in response to complex sounds.

• Noam Shoresh received his PhD in theoretical particle physics and did his post-doc in the same field. He then joined an experimental evolution lab as a computational biology post doc, following which he joined the Broad Epigenomics Production group. His long term interest is in visualizing data stemming from the needs of his own computational work.

• Jake Jaffe is the Associate Director of the Proteomics Platform and Director of the LINCS Proteomic Characterization Center for Signaling and Epigenetics

• Paul Clemons is director of computational chemical biology research in the Center for the Science of Therapeutics at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Clemons and his team use quantitative measurement, computational, and visualization techniques to enable systematic use of small molecules to explore biology, especially disease biology.
