Join the Children’s Research Institute monthly for dynamic sessions where CRI members, trainees, and the broader scientific community connect to explore cutting-edge research in child health. These seminars foster collaboration, spark new ideas, and highlight ongoing work in pediatric science.

About Our Speaker:

Dr. Davis uses genome-wide research approaches to better understand how genetic changes drive cancer development. His lab focuses on Ewing sarcoma and kidney cancer, studying how key genetic alterations affect gene regulation and cancer growth. The laboratory also collaborates with researchers across campus on a range of cancer and developmental disorder studies, bringing expertise in epigenomics and gene regulation.

What to Expect:

• Talks by top researchers from UNC and beyond, with opportunities for collaboration.
• Works-in-progress and career development reviews by early-career faculty and trainees.
• Special events focused on CRI, NC Children’s, and Department of Pediatrics initiatives.

Open to All:

You don’t need to be a CRI member to present or participate. Have an idea to share? We’d love to hear from you—contact childrensresearch@med.unc.edu
