ELUS 2018 is a symposium where alumni of the Genomic Sciences Program (LCG) from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) will present their scientific work to the European scientific community. It will be celebrated at CEM UNAM-FRANCIA and at Maison du Mexique in Cité International Universitaire de Paris on the 19th and 20th April, 2018. The aim of this symposium is to strengthen the network of the current and/or former LCG scientific community present in Europe, hoping to be a niche for scientific and non-scientific collaborations.

Maria Elena Torres-Padilla, PhD
Maria Elena Torres-Padilla, PhD
Maria Elena Torres-Padilla is a group leader and director of the Institute of Epigenetics and Stem Cells at the Helmholtz Zentrum München. Her research interests include answering the question of how epigenetic information influences cellular plasticity during early mammalian development. To address this question, including how the transitions in cell potency and cell fate are regulated by chromatin-mediated processes, her lab uses a variety of approaches including quantitative imaging, modeling, functional genomics and cell biology.

James Briscoe, PhD
James Briscoe is a senior group leader at the Francis Crick Institute. His research interests include the molecular and cellular mechanisms of graded signalling by morphogens and the specification of cell fate in the developing vertebrate neural tube. To address the questions of his research lines his lab uses a range of experimental and computational techniques and model systems that include mouse and chick embryos and embryonic stem cells.

Denis Thieffry, PhD
Denis Thieffry currently works at the Département de Biologie, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris. Denis does research in Epistemology, Systems Biology and Bioinformatics. His team combines two interdisciplinary approaches to model the behaviour of molecular regulatory networks. The first approach leans on the development of the software suite RSAT devoted to the analysis of functional genomic data. The second approach leans on the development of the software GINsim devoted to the dynamical modelling and the analysis of large signalling/regulatory networks.
