On Tuesday, April 3rd, Dr. Mark Krasnow<http://cmgm.stanford.edu/krasnow/> will be delivering the annual

Charles Edward Holt Memorial Lecture<https://biology.mit.edu/events/charles_ned_e_holt_lecture>, on the topic of "Genetic dissection of lung stem cells and cancer at single cell resolution."

Every year, a distinguished scientist and teacher "interested both in the biological sciences and undergraduate education" is invited to speak before the MIT undergraduate community and the public at the Holt lecture.

Dr. Krasnow is Chair of the Department of Biochemistry at Stanford University School of Medicine, Executive Director of the Wall Center for Pulmonary Vascular Disease, and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator.  His research is centered around t

he biochemical mechanisms of cell migration, cytoplasmic extension, and cell adhesion during development of the Drosophila tracheal (respiratory) system. The tracheal system is a network of epithelial tubes that transports oxygen to the tissues, like the lungs and vascular system in mammals.
His teaching activities focus on the molecular basis of medicine, biochemistry education, as well as research by undergraduate, graduate, and medical students alike.
