Upcoming Events
2026 CRE Expert Webinar Series on Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes – Expert Webinar 4
Somatic Genetic Rescue in Mendelian Haematopoietic Diseases
The Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision Centre of Research Excellence (CRE) in Bone Marrow Biology is proud to present the fourth and final Expert Webinar of our 2026 series for our scientific and clinical community featuring guest speaker, Dr Patrick Revy, co-head of the Genome Dynamics in Human Diseases laboratory at the Imagine Institute in Paris, France.
Date: Thursday 22 October 2026
Time: 4.30 – 5.30 pm AEDT
Location: Online via Zoom
Dr Patrick Revy is a researcher in human immunology and genetics whose work has focused on rare inherited immune and haematopoietic disorders, including DNA repair defects, ribosomopathies and telomere biology disorders. He has contributed to the identification and analysis of the molecular causes of a range of rare genetic disorders and to the description of somatic genetic rescue in Mendelian haematopoietic diseases. He currently co-heads the Genome Dynamics in the Immune System laboratory with Erika Brunet at the Imagine Institute in Paris, France.
In this webinar, Dr Revy will explore somatic genetic rescue (SGR), where an acquired somatic mutation can counteract the effect of a disease-causing germline mutation and provide a selective advantage to modified blood cells. Drawing on examples identified in his laboratory, he will discuss how SGR can promote clonal expansion, modify disease evolution, and have implications for the diagnosis and evolution of clinical manifestations in inherited haematopoietic disorders.
The session includes a 45-minute presentation and 15-minute Q&A.
This webinar is suitable for clinicians, researchers, scientists, allied health professionals and students working in Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes.
Registration is free but essential. The Zoom access link will be sent to registered attendees prior to the webinar.
