Somatic Mutations and Clonal Hematopoiesis - Uncovering Hidden Genetic Etiology with Clinical Implications

We cordially invite you to our upcoming webinar about Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential (CHIP), its underlying mechanisms and clinical implications.

Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential (CHIP) is a condition related to aging, characterized by the accumulation of somatic mutations in hematopoietic stem cells during middle age, which is associated with an increased risk of developing blood cancer or cardiovascular disease.

The presentation will be given by Dr. Varuna Chander, postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University, specializing in genomics and bioinformatics.

In this webinar you will learn about:

- Somatic mosaicism and its impact on development and aging.

- Clonal hematopoiesis (CHIP) and its role in the development of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

- A case study characterizing somatic mosaic markers in the blood of cardiovascular disease patients.

- Future Directions: Detection of CHIP using single cell sequencing approaches

Date: Thursday, May 4, 2023
