Webinar information
Join us for a webinar “3D Genome Folding and Its Impact on Gene Regulation & Disease” on May
13, 2021 at 11AM
EST to learn from Anthony Schmitt, Ph.D., SVP of Science at Arima Genomics.
What you will learn in this webinar:
- Why is the 3D genome important? The earth isn’t flat, and neither is the genome. Dive into 3D genomics
and why it matters in gene regulation and disease research.
- What tools can we use to understand the 3D genome? Learn about Hi-C, a popular technique within 3D
genomics.
- What kind of discoveries has Hi-C helped uncover? Learn about impactful discoveries that Hi-C has
brought to oncology, immunology, neurology, cardiology, and other application areas. Start thinking
about how Hi-C can bring new insights to your research.
About the speaker:
Anthony Schmitt joined Arima Genomics in 2016 and serves as the Senior Vice President of Science. He has led
the development of the core Arima-HiC chemistry and technology platform since Arima’s inception, contributed
to core inventions and technology development grants, and continues to lead their R&D programs for targeted
chromosome conformation capture techniques such as HiChIP and Capture-HiC.
Prior to Arima, Anthony received a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences from UC San Diego in the laboratory of Dr.
Bing Ren and a B.S. in biology from University of Massachusetts Amherst. During his doctoral training,
Anthony played roles in developing and applying Hi-C technologies, with notable contributions to our
understanding of gene regulation in nearly 30 human tissues using Hi-C and Promoter Capture-HiC, developing
target haplotyping methods for medically-relevant loci using Capture-HiC and HaploSeq, and developing
PLAC-seq (also known as HiChIP) for discovering long-range gene regulatory interactions associated with
specific chromatin proteins
