<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to invite you to an exceptional lecture by <b>Professor Eric Lander,</b> who will narrate <b>"The 35-year journey of genomic medicine”. </b>The lecture will take place on <b>Tuesday, February 7 at 11:00</b>, in the Maisin auditorium

<p class="MsoNormal">Eric Lander is the president and founding director of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Geneticist, molecular biologist and mathematician, he was the principal leader of the international Human Genome Project. He developed and applied
methods for discovering the molecular basis of rare genetic diseases, common diseases and cancer. He did pioneering work on genetic variation, population history, evolutionary forces, regulatory elements, long non-coding RNAs, three-dimensional folding of
the human genome, and developed methods to systematically identify the genes essential for biological processes.</p>
</div>

<div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Eric Lander will be awarded the title of doctor <i>honoris causa</i> of the UCL on February 6. He will be visiting our campus as part of this event.</p>
