About the speaker: Dr. Emi Ling
Dr. Emi Ling is a Postdoctoral Associate at the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute and the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School in the USA.
She received her undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from Columbia University in New York, where she worked in Eric Kandel’s lab to understand how gene expression in neurons is regulated in sub-cellular compartments. She subsequently received her PhD in Biological and Biomedical Sciences from Harvard University in Boston. Her thesis in Michael Greenberg’s lab investigated how transcription factors work to enable cell type-specific gene expression.
Her current research in Steven McCarroll’s lab focuses on developing approaches to study multicellular gene-expression programs in human brain tissue.
