The JBS Haldane Centre for Molecular Medicine (HCM) at SiliconTech collaborated with inDNA Life Sciences Private Limited to organize an expert talk on ‘Role of Chromosomal Cohesion and Separation in Aneuploidy and Tumorigenesis’ on 22 January 2024.
The objective of this talk was to help the audience understand how problems in basic cell activities can lead to the development of cancer, and how we can use this knowledge to find ways to treat or prevent it.
The expert talk was delivered by Dr. Debananda Pati, Professor of Paediatric Oncology at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA. In his talk, Dr. Pati shed light on Separase as a drug target for cancer therapy. He discussed the latest breakthroughs to foster a deeper understanding of the ongoing battle against cancer. The participants gained in-depth insights into the role of chromosomal cohesion and Separase in aneuploidy and tumorigenesis.
The talk was followed by an interactive session in which the speaker addressed the queries of the participants related to basic biology and ethical considerations of the treatment.
