First Friday Lunch - April 2017
Join us for First Fridays, a monthly recurring event for undergraduate and graduate Princeton alumni, graduate students, and parents.  On the first Friday of each month, area alumni and their guests will meet to enjoy a prix fixe luncheon at the Nassau Club in downtown Princeton.  As a special bonus for PA3, a Princeton University PhD candidate will present his/her work to the group in this informal setting.  Topics vary monthly and are always interesting!  Have a look at our impressive roster of previous luncheons.

Pawel PrzytyckiOn Friday, April 7th, 2017, we will be joined Pawel Przytycki, a PhD candidate in Computer Science.  Pawel will discuss his work on differential analysis between germline variation and somatic mutation. The decreasing cost of sequencing human genomes has allowed for thousands of both healthy individuals and tumor samples to be sequenced. With this massive increase in data it is possible to observe the minute differences between the genomes of healthy individuals (germline variation) and also how tumor samples accumulate mutations over the course of a person's life (somatic mutation). Pawel's research has found that a large amount of germline variation in a gene can be indicative of that gene's ability to accumulate somatic mutations without detrimental health effects. This in turn will help us better understand which genes play important roles in the development and growth of cancers. 

As always, there is sure to be a lively discussion! Please join us.


Specially priced at $25/person (or $30 if you choose not to pay PA3's annual dues), lunch includes three courses, a complementary soft drink and coffee/tea. [**Wine/beer offered a la carte**]
Pre-registration is preferred.
