Cells in Distress and Disease

Welcome to ASCB’s inaugural Emerging Researcher Talk Series. Speakers were selected from a review of high-ranking abstracts that were submitted but were not chosen for talks for the Cell Bio 2021 meeting. This is a virtual seminar series that will be broadcast live from February through November 2022.

Speakers:

Chen Yuan Kam
Department of Genetics, Yale School of Medicine

Chen received his B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2011. He then carried out his doctoral work in the lab of Kathleen Green at Northwestern University where he studied the role of desmosomes in the context of cardiocutaneous disease. Since 2018, he has been a postdoctoral associate in the lab of Valentina Greco at Yale University. In the Greco lab, Chen’s research has been focused on understanding the development and homeostatic maintenance of the skin vascular network via longitudinal intravital imaging approaches.
