DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Susan Gasser\nhosted by Michael Sixt\nAbstract: Prof. 
 Susan M. Gasser is a Swiss biochemist who studied biophysics at the Univer
 sity of Chicago\, and completed her PhD at the University of Basel in Bioc
 hemistry. After studying human mitotic chromosomes at the University of Ge
 neva\, she began her own research on chromatin and chromosome organization
  in budding yeast\, combining genetics\, microscopy and biochemical approa
 ches\, at the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research in Epalinge
 s/Lausanne. After 15 years\, she returned to the University of Geneva as P
 rofessor of Molecular Biology and\, in 2004\, she was recruited as Directo
 r of the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research in Basel\, w
 here she also holds the chair of Professor of Molecular Biology at the Uni
 versity of Basel. Susan Gasser studies how nuclear and chromosomal context
  establishes and maintains heritable patterns of gene expression. From the
  telomere position effect in yeast\, to the inheritance of repressed tissu
 e-specific genes in C. elegans\, her studies have examined how the spatial
  organization of heterochromatin in the nucleus contributes to heritable g
 ene silencing. In parallel to these studies\, the Gasser laboratory optimi
 zed live imaging techniques to pioneer the analysis of chromatin dynamics 
 with time-lapse fluorescence imaging. This brought her to the study of chr
 omatin remodelers\, among which figured INO80\, particularly in the contex
 t of replication  stress and double strand break repair. Dr Gasser was el
 ected to the Académie de France\, EMBO and the Swiss Academy of Medical S
 ciences\, and received  the INSERM International Prize in 2011\, the FEBS
  | EMBO Women in Science Award in 2012\, and the Weizmann Institute Women 
 in Science award in 2013.
