Dear Biology Community,
We would like to invite you to attend this year's
Howard Hughes Memorial Institute Lecture on
Tuesday, March 7 at 4:00pm in 32-123. This is
the flagship event of the Biology Undergraduate
student Association and we are proud to host Dr.
Jeannie Lee of Harvard Medical School as she
presents:
"Beyond Sex: X Chromosome Inactivation"
X and Y chromosomes make us male and female. But
they have to do more than specify sex. In fact,
one of the two female X chromosomes is shut off
during female development to balance gene dosage
between the sexes and allow for normal
development.
Please join us for the lecture and reception.
March 7, 2006
4:00pm @ 32-123
note that project lab 7.16 and 7.17 will end early to accommodate this lecture
Dr. Lee is an investigator of the HHMI. She is
also Professor of Genetics (and Pathology) at
Harvard Medical School and Molecular Biologist at
the Massachusetts General Hospital. She received
the A.B. degree at Harvard University where she

degrees from the University of Pennsylvania
School of Medicine where she worked with Robert
Nussbaum. She assumed her present post in 1997.
