Hello,
I would like to draw your attention to the upcoming visit to McGill by
Dr. Janet Rossant. Dr. Rossant is a Senior Investigator at the Samuel
Lunenfeld Research Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto. She is also
a University Professor, University of Toronto, and Professor in the
Department of Molecular and Medical Genetics and the Department of
Obstetrics/Gynaecology, University of Toronto.  Her research interests
centre on understanding the genetic control of normal and abnormal
development in the early mouse embryo using both cellular and genetic
manipulation techniques. Recently, her research has moved in two new
directions.  First, stem cell research, with her discovery of a novel
placental stem cell type, the trophoblast stem cell.  Second,
genome-wide functional genomics.  She directs the Centre for Modelling
Human Disease in Toronto, which is undertaking genome-wide mutagenesis
in mice to develop new mouse models of human disease.

Dr. Rossant is a world leader in the field of Developmental Biology and
has been a superlative teacher who has trained generations of successful
scientists. Moreover, she has been a formidable ambassador for science
in general and for Developmental Biology in particular, both nationally
and internationally. Her impressive scientific accomplishments are
documented by both the number (more than 240) and the quality of her
publications, many of which represent seminal contributions to numerous
areas of biomedical research. The list of her publications in top
scientific journals like Nature, Science, Cell, Genes & Development, and
Development is really remarkable.=20

I strongly encourage you to attend her seminar, which will be held on
Wednesday, March 9th, at 11:30 am in Room 2/36 at the Strathcona Anatomy
and Dentistry Bldg.
