Potholes and Progress on the Road to Translational Treatments in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium 160 5th Avenue, New York, NY, United StatesIn this lecture, Dr. Jeremy Veenstra-VanderWeele will outline critical challenges, both conceptual and practical, to translating genomic, cellular, and animal model research into new treatments in autism spectrum disorder.
Genomic Insights into Human Cortical Development and Neurodevelopmental Disease
Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium 160 5th Avenue, New York, NY, United StatesIn this lecture, Dr. Arnold Kriegstein will describe recent advances in our understanding of the unique features of human cortical development.
Quantum Entanglement, Strange Metals and Black Holes
Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium 160 5th Avenue, New York, NY, United StatesIn this lecture, Subir Sachdev will present a simple model of many-particle entanglement, which has led to new insights into two very different classes of systems.
Simons Collaboration on the Many Electron Problem Annual Meeting 2017

Exploiting Genetics to Identify Environmental Risks for Autism
Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium 160 5th Avenue, New York, NY, United StatesIn this lecture, Mark Zylka will describe how candidate environmental risk factors for autism can be identified rationally, by pinpointing chemicals that interfere with the same molecular pathways that are affected in individuals with autism. His research focuses on identifying environmental-use chemicals that target autism-linked molecular pathways, using environmental sampling data to assess the exposure threat to people, and validating risk potential in animal models.
Atomic Clocks and Quantum Physics
Gerald D. Fischbach Auditorium 160 5th Avenue, New York, NY, United StatesNew abilities with laser light have enabled us to create and probe atomic gases at ultralow temperatures, forming the basis of atomic clocks accurate to 18 decimal places. This talk will discuss the history of such advanced clocks and how they are used to test fundamental laws of nature, search for new physics and create a range of technologies.
