Special Biology Research Talk: "Genomic Regulation of Retinal Development and Disease"

Swaroop

Dr. Anand Swaroop

Abstract:
Multiple levels of control mechanisms exist for spatio-temporal and context-dependent expression of genetic information during development and for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Any disruption in gene regulatory networks can lead to disease phenotypes. I will first discuss NRL-mediated transcriptional control network guiding photoreceptor differentiation and then examine gene regulation by genomic architecture in developing retina. Time permitting, I will also discuss how genetic variants in the non-coding genome can influence complex phenotypes including AMD and glaucoma.

UK English Professor’s ‘Aesthetic Cold War’ Wins 2023 Modernist Studies Association Book Prize

By Richard LeComte 

LEXINGTON, Ky. — “The Aesthetic Cold War,” a book by the University of Kentucky’s Peter Kalliney, has won the 2023 Modernist Studies Association Book Prize. Kalliney is the William J. and Nina B. Tuggle Chair in English in UK’s College of Arts and Sciences. 

Each year, a panel of Modernist Studies Association judges awards the prize to a book that has made the most significant contribution to modernist studies.
