About the Event
Dr. Licia Selleri invited T.E.A.M. 4 TravisĀ to present to her lab team and department chair Dr. Ophir Klein at UCSF. In the Selleri Lab, they study the genetic and regulatory basis of how elaborately patterned tissues form during embryonic development and evolution. Essentially, they use the mouse model to get a better understanding of genetics in embryonic development, including what causes the spleen to not develop properly. Despite the tragic reason behind the visit, it was so rewarding to interact with these wonderful geneticists and researchers, bridge the gap between science and humanity and learn so much more about their work on genetic birth defects like Isolated Congenital Asplenia
