Event Host: Evan Snyder, MD, PhD

The SoCal Seminar Series is back with in-person participation with breakfast before the talk.
Hybrid participation with in-person seating in the Duane Roth Auditorium and simulcasted via Zoom for virtual participation.
Ophir Klein is a Professor of Orofacial Sciences and Pediatrics, the Larry L. Hillblom Distinguished Professor in Craniofacial Anomalies, and the Charles J. Epstein Professor of Human Genetics at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He serves as Chief of the Division of Medical Genetics, Chair of the Division of Craniofacial Anomalies, Interim Director of the Institute for Human Genetics, and Director of the Program in Craniofacial Biology.
The Klein laboratory focuses on understanding how organs form in developing embryos and how they regenerate in adults. When developmental and regenerative processes go awry, then birth defects, cancer, and other diseases can result. The group's research is centered on understanding how development and regeneration normally occur in the hope of one day treating diseases that result from abnormalities in these processes.
Things to knowRegistration and breakfast start at 9 am on the terrace of the Duane Roth Auditorium (Off the second-floor terrace, behind Bella Vista Caffé).
In-person attendees must be registered via Eventbrite and stay masked while in the auditorium, adhering to the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine masking and UCSD COVID-19 guidelines.
