During the monthly Clinical and Translational Research (CTR) seminar today at noon in the Eppley Science Hall Amphitheater, Warren Sanger, Ph.D., director of the Munroe-Meyer Institute Human Genetics Laboratory, will discuss how his lab can be a resource to UNMC researchers.

During its 33 years in operation, the lab has aided countless researchers with their investigations. But many of those scientists, Dr. Sanger said, were not from UNMC.

“While we do a lot of work with outside institutions, all things being the same, we’d prefer to help UNMC researchers instead,” said Dr. Sanger, who also is a professor in the departments of pediatrics and pathology and microbiology.

Dr. Sanger founded the laboratory and has seen its staff grow from two to nearly 80 people.

While primarily a clinical diagnostic laboratory for the Midwestern region, the lab also could be a valuable resource for researchers whose work has a human genetics component.

Dr. Sanger’s lecture is part of an ongoing series of CTR seminars that are typically held on the third Monday of each month.

The series brings clinical and basic science investigators from across the university together to identify new ways to collaborate and answer important clinical questions.

The seminar will be recorded and available for investigators who cannot attend.

It also will be televised at the following sites:

  • College of Dentistry in Lincoln, Room 7;
  • College of Nursing in Lincoln, Room 307;
  • College of Nursing in Scottsbluff, Panhandle Station Room 203;
  • College of Nursing in Kearney, CMCT 216; and
  • College of Nursing in Omaha, Room 4078.
