[AG-TECH] RC Seminar Series: "Searching for Genetic Causes of Age-related Hearing Loss"

[Ed Brannin]

Everyone,

http://www.rit.edu/~rc/docs/newman.html

Apologies for the short notice, but we're going to broadcast and
record the latest RC Seminar ("Searching for Genetic Causes of
Age-related Hearing Loss") at 4:00 Eastern (15 minutes from now).

Presenter: Dina L. Newman, Professor
Department of Biological Sciences

Summary: Most people experience some loss of hearing acuity as they
age. The human genetics lab at RIT is searching for genetic
differences that are associated with susceptibility to hearing loss in
elderly people. Cell samples are sent to the molecular lab for DNA
extraction and testing of particular genes. This project involves a
large amount of data handling, which requires specialized databases
and analyses.

AG Version: 3.0.2,
Venue: Rochester Institure of Tech (@ Argonne's Venue Server)

Feel free to drop by, listen and ask questions after it ends.
