Prof. Laurinda Jaffe is Chair of the Department of Cell Biology at the
University of Connecticut Health Center, USA. She has been awarded with
many prizes, amongst others with the Loeser Award for Outstanding
Teaching and with a Fellow by the American Association for the
Advancement of Science. She has been invited numerous times to present
her scientific work throughout the world.
The talk will be about the physiological mechanisms that regulate the
oocyte cell cycle and fertilization. Currently, Laurinda Jaffe’s studies
are focused on regulation of meiosis in mouse ovarian follicles.
Meiosis prepares the oocyte for fertilization, by reducing the number of
copies of each gene from two to one, such that the female and male
genomes from oocytes and sperm can combine to make a new individual. For
further information, please visit the website of her lab.
After the talk, we would very much like to have a discussion first about
Prof. Jaffe’s research, and second about the process of her career
including obstacles and solutions. During the discussion parts you are
very welcome to ask questions.
Everybody who is interested is welcome to attend the guest lecture. At the end of the event, all female doctoral students will have the
opportunity in a private "Meet the Professor" session to exchange views
about research and career issues with Prof. Jaffe. If you would like to
participate, please write to Lisa-Marie Junker.
