The Cells, Circuits and Behavior (CCB) WIP includes 13 laboratories whose work focuses on the integration of molecular, cellular and behavioral studies in the context of normal and diseased states.

(Hiro Morishita, Peter Rudebeck, Paul Slesinger, co-organizers)

Thursdays from 9:30-10:30am (Hess 8-101)

Schedule and Location

The Center for Computational Psychiatry (CCP), led by Dr. Xiaosi Gu, hosts a monthly afternoon seminar series in which leading researchers from around the world present their latest findings in the fields of computational psychiatry, computational modeling, and cognitive neuroscience research. Discussion topics include: transdiagnostic approaches to psychiatry and mental health, reinforcement learning and human decision-making, and computational models of social and affective processes. Speakers are hosted virtually and, when possible, in-person at the CCP located at 55 West 125th Street, Suite 1302, New York, NY 10029.

Upcoming Speakers:

The Center for Neurotechnology and Behavior (CNB) brings together researchers in neuroscience at Sinai that focus on elucidating the function of brain circuits in normal and diseased states. A core objective of the CNB is to support the development and implementation of cutting-edge neurotechniques. To foster new collaborations, CNB also sponsors a monthly science and dinner series on Tuesday’s, whereby individual labs provide food, clean-up, and scientific presentations.

For more information on the CNB, please contact Dr. Paul Slesinger at paul.slesinger@mssm.edu.

For more information, please contact Dr. Samuel E. Gandy at samuel.gandy@mssm.edu.

For more information, please contact Dr. Emily Bernstein at emily.bernstein@mssm.edu.

The goal is to bring chromatin biologists together from all areas of research including cancer, development, neurosciences, stem cells, and structural biology. The club is meant to allow participants to learn about what their colleagues are doing on campus and facilitate interactions and collaborations.

The Epigenetics WIP includes 9 laboratories whose work focuses on transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms by which environmental stimuli (e.g., a drug of abuse, stress) over a lifetime change cell and circuit function to mediate lasting behavioral abnormalities.

(Ian Maze, Eric Nestler, co-organizers)

Wednesdays from 9:30-10:30am (Annenberg 19-79)

Schedule and Location

As part of ongoing efforts to centrally coordinate external talks across GGS department, this new seminar series will be the only external speaker series for the department during the 2022-2023 academic year. The External Speaker Series serves as a social and academic hub for students and faculty to congregate and learn together. The seminars will be held every other Thursday at 3pm in a hybrid format. A student session will also take place prior to each seminar.

 Please see Mount Sinai's event page website for more information on specific lectures.

For more information on the external speaker series, please contact Maria Julia Castro at mariajulia.castro@mssm.edu.

• NeuroPsych-Genomics
• Immune, Microbiome, and Infectious Disease
• Single Cell Sequencing, Functional Genomics, and Experimental Technology

For more information, please contact Dr. Brian Iacoviello.

The NDD-WIP is a seminar series for laboratories at Mount Sinai that study process of neural development, regeneration, and stem cells. Investigations include also studies of the underlying biology of the disease processes in neurodevelopmental diseases (e.g., autism), neural degeneration (e.g., Alzheimers’s and Parkinson’s disease), and neural malignancies (brain cancer).

(Silvia De Rubeis, Roland Friedel, co-organizers)

*In person*

Thursdays from 9:30-10:30am (Annenberg 19-79)

Schedule and Location

The NeuroPsych-Genomics WIP Series features both internal work in progress and external speakers presenting exciting recent publications and emerging bodies of work. Presentations cover a broad spectrum of neuropsychiatric genetic and genomic research. Our goal is to provide a forum for trainees and faculty to keep up to speed on the latest research topics in the field of neuropsychiatric genomics and to spark new ideas and collaborations. Meetings occur Tuesday at 3pm twice every month, with virtual and in-person options.

In the fall semester, this will be a hybrid event, through Zoom at https://mssm.zoom.us/j/8795331277 and in-person in Hess 8-101.

Seaver Autism Center Seminar Series

The Seaver Autism Center Seminar Series is a biweekly virtual series that features geneticists, neuroscientists, epidemiologists, clinical researchers, and stem cell biologists focusing on autism spectrum disorder. The series is hosted on World Wide Neuro, a platform freely accessible from anywhere on the planet.

Meetings occur every other Wednesday at 11:00am EST. For more information, please visit our calendar or contact the series' Director Dr. Silvia De Rubeis at silvia.derubeis@mssm.edu.

The Seaver Autism Center hosts Zoom meetings that feature both internal work in progress and external speakers presenting exciting recent publications and emerging bodies of work. Presentations cover a broad spectrum of basic and clinical research on autism and related neurodevelopmental disorders. Common themes include, but are not limited to, large-scale genetics, genomics and epidemiology, clinical assessments, clinical genetics, stem cell biology and murine models of autism and related disorders. Our goal is to provide a forum for trainees and faculty to keep up to speed on the latest research topics in the autism field and to spark new ideas and translational collaborations.
