Featuring Michael Greenberg, PhD, the Nathan Marsh Pusey Professor of Neurobiology at Harvard Medical School.
Paolo Sassone-Corsi, PhD (1956-2020), was UC Irvine Donald Bren Professor of Biological Chemistry and director of the campus’s Center for Epigenetics and Metabolism. During his significant scientific career, he made seminal discoveries in the field of gene expression and signal transduction in the 1980s and later on circadian clocks and metabolism. Dr. Sassone-Corsi was regarded as a true pioneer by the scientific community. Honoring Dr. Sassone-Corsi’s legacy, the Paolo Sassone-Corsi Lectureship features a renowned epigenetics researcher and brings together outstanding scientists and students to carry on the conversations and discoveries that inspired him.
