Purpose

The NIH Director’s Lecture Series features outstanding late tenure-track or recently tenured investigators whose work is of broad interest at NIH. Speakers are approved by the NIH Director, and talks are held monthly.

This lecture features Todd Macfarlan, who leads the Unit on Mammalian Epigenome Reprogramming in NICHD’s Division of Intramural Research. He will discuss his work on histones, proteins that provide structural support to chromatin, and how control of histones factors into transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.
