Dynamics of 3D Genome Structure and Function

Join MIT’s Dr. Anders Sejr Hansen as he describes novel, high resolution, imaging tools for studying the 3D structure of the human genome. Such tools can help researchers, like you, better understand how changes in the structure cause oncogene overexpression in cancer.

His team also developed a new method for the computational analysis that you can use to analyze the images their new experimental method collects. They created an image processing framework and modeling software to analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics collected through the imaging platform and infer which segments of DNA are in the looped state.

The NCI Emerging Technologies Seminar Series highlights novel technologies supported through NCI awards that could transform cancer research and clinical care.
