About the speaker: Dr. Claudia Gentile

Dr. Claudia Gentile received her Bachelor’s of Science, specializing in Cell and Molecular Biology at Concordia University in Montreal. Following this, she carried out her PhD studies in the Department of Experimental Medicine at McGill University in Montreal. Her graduate training was done under the supervision of Dr. Marie Kmita at the Institut de recherches cliniques de Montreal, IRCM, investigating the role of Polycomb Repressive Complexes in chromatin conformation and Hox gene regulation during limb development. After completion of her PhD, she pursued a postdoctoral fellowship in the laboratory of Dr. Cigall Kadoch at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School in Boston. 

Dr. Gentile’s postdoctoral work is centred on understanding the functional relationship between chromatin biology and cell signaling pathways in kinase-driven cancers.
