Seminar topic: The puzzle of adult brain stem cell coordination: A functional and evolutionary perspective

Zayna Chaker did her PhD at Université Paris Cité with Dr. Martin Holwenberger in 2015, where she studied the role of growth hormone and insulin like growth factor (IGF) in the regulation of brain regeneration during aging. Then, she moved to Basel Switzerland for a postdoc in Prof.

Seminar topic - Clathrin kaleidoscope: Structural diversity and its impact on neuromuscular diseases


Clathrin is best known for its role in endocytosis, but emerging evidence reveals that it forms structurally diverse assemblies with specialized functions across cell types. In this talk, I will describe how clathrin organizes into distinct architectures at the plasma membrane, ranging from coated pits to flat plaques, and how this diversity contributes to neuromuscular and neuronal physiology.

Seminar topic: Vascular Identity, Stromal Diversity, and the Challenge of Building a Bioartificial Liver

After completing my B.E. in Chemical Engineering at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in 1999, I pursued combined M.D. and Ph.D. degrees in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Minnesota, where I trained with Dr. Catherine Verfaillie and Dr. Wei Shou Hu on the derivation of stem cell-derived hepatocytes and in vitro liver model systems, graduating in 2006.
