SUMMARY:School of Molecular Biosciences Series: Repair – Regeneration – Reproduction
LOCATION:Biotechnology Life Sciences, Pullman, WA 99164
DESCRIPTION:A Distinguished Lecture Series:\n\nREPAIR - REGENERATION - REPRODUCTION\n\n\n\nPRESENTER: Dr. Monika Ward, Yanagimachi Institute for Biogenesis Research, University of Hawaii\n\nTITLE: Y Chromosome - A Genetic Switch Box for Fertility\n\nDr. Monika A. Ward is a highly respected leader in reproductive and developmental biology, internationally recognized for her seminal contributions to understanding Y-chromosome function, spermatogenesis, and assisted reproductive technologies. Trained under the late Ryuzo Yanagimachi, she has played a central role in establishing foundational mouse models demonstrating the minimal Y-chromosome gene complement required for male fertility, with landmark publications in Science, Biology of Reproduction, and PNAS.\n\nHer work has reshaped thinking about sex chromosome biology, sperm chromatin integrity, and the long-term consequences of assisted reproduction. Dr. Ward has sustained continuous NIH support as principal investigator, serves in prominent editorial and leadership roles within the Society for the Study of Reproduction and Biology of Reproduction, and currently directs the Yanagimachi Institute for Biogenesis Research. Collectively, her scholarship, leadership, and mentorship place her among the most influential scientists in modern reproductive biology.\n\nApril 2\n\nDr. Lisa Vrooman, Oregon National Primate Research Center\n\n"Modeling the Effects of ART Procedures Using Mouse and Non-Human Primate Models"\n\nApril 9\n\nDr. Gertrude Ecklu-Mensah, University of California\n\n"One Size Fits None: From Diet-Microbiome Interactions to Individualized Dietary Recommendations"\n\nApril 23\n\nDr. Heinikoff Steven, Professor Basic Sciences Division, Fred Hutch Cancer Center\n\n"Histone Overexpression in Cancer"\n\n\n\nThe School of Molecular Biosciences (SMB) prepares students for careers in science, health, and medicine.\n\nOffering undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral training in biochemistry, genetics and cell biology, and microbiology.
