We kindly invite you to the seminar “Adjusting the timing of mammalian development”, which will be given by Dr Aydan Bulut-Karslioglu (https://www.molgen.mpg.de/Genome-Regulation/Bulut-Karslioglu-lab) from the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin. Please find her short bio below.
The lecture is organized as part of the KNOW RNA Research Centre in Poznań and will be held on Friday, March 14th, 2025, at 9:15, in the Sala Rady Wydziału (Faculty Council Lecture Hall), Faculty of Biology UAM.
Additionally, there Aydan will be available for an informal career talk with PhD students and postdocs at 3:00 pm, all welcome (venue TBC).
If someone is interested to talk to Aydan one to one – please contact Kinga Kamieniarz-Gdula (kinga.kamieniarz-gdula@amu.edu.pl) by Monday 10th March.
Bio: Aydan Bulut-Karslioglu is a stem cell researcher based at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin, Germany. She studied chemical engineering and biology in Turkey. During her PhD in the lab of Prof. Thomas Jenuwein in Freiburg, Germany, she focused on epigenetic regulation of repetitive DNA. In 2013, she joined the lab of Prof. Miguel Ramalho-Santos at UCSF, San Francisco, where she made the breakthrough discovery of mTOR as a major regulator of developmental timing in mouse embryos. She developed an in vitro diapause protocol to put mouse early embryos into dormancy. Since 2018, she is a group leader at the MPIMG in Berlin, where she works on how the environment actively shapes the timing and trajectories of embryonic development.
