POWER’s professional career development seminars focus on the speaker’s
personal experiences, insights into their current work, as well as
work-life integration issues. Dr. Bothmer will discuss what has contributed
to her success, the challenges she has overcome, and advice for current
postdocs. We hope that the interactions will assist women postdocs in
navigating their careers and will also help them build the professional
connections.


*Speaker bio:*
Dr. Bothmer received her B.Sc. from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in
physics in 2006. She then pursued her doctoral studies at The Rockefeller
University in the lab of Dr. Michel Nussenzweig studying DNA repair
processes in the context of immune diversification reactions. After
completing her dissertation in 2011, she joined the lab of Dr. Pier Paolo
Pandolfi as a Damon Runyon fellow exploring the role of non-coding RNA in
cancer. Dr. Bothmer joined Editas Medicine in 2015 as a DNA repair
scientist. At Editas Medicine, Dr. Bothmer is investigating the DNA damage
and repair implications and optimizations with regard to therapeutic use of
the CRISPR/Cas9 system.
