One leading idea is that RNA played a central role because it can act both as genetic material and as a catalyst. A major challenge has been that known RNA polymerase ribozymes, the catalysts of RNA copying, are large and complex, making them difficult to copy and unlikely to arise from prebiotic RNA sequence pools.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nIn this seminar, Edoardo Gianni will present QT45, a compact 45-nucleotide RNA polymerase ribozyme discovered from random RNA sequence pools. QT45 can catalyse the two essential reactions required for RNA self-replication: the synthesis of itself and the synthesis of its complementary strand. This work suggests that RNA-copying activity may be more common in sequence space than previously thought. It also brings us closer to understanding how self-replicating molecular systems could emerge in nature and be reconstructed in the laboratory.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nPlease join us for a fascinating seminar at the interface of origin-of-life chemistry, RNA biology, and synthetic molecular systems.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nLet me know if you would like to meet Edo during the day.</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e552a16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\">\r\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"> </div>\r\n</div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-06T13:09:20", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-18T09:02:55", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/64709337579", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "<strong>Edoardo Gianni</strong> Investigator Scientist, MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, UK", "organizer": "Juan Manuel García-Arcos, PhD, Group Leader, Ambizione Fellow EPFL SV ISREC UPGON", "contact": "Lisa Smith, ISREC Administrative Assistant", "is_internal": "True", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "Chemistry, Engineering", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119181/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/26/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 70782, "title": "“Mechanisms driving the rapid evolution of genomes”", "slug": "mechanisms-driving-the-rapid-evolution-of-genomes", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/mechanisms-driving-the-rapid-evolution-of-genomes", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32193/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32193/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32193/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-06-04", "end_date": "2026-06-04", "start_time": "12:15:00", "end_time": "13:15:00", "description": "<strong>A Lola and John Grace Distinguished Lecture in Cancer Research</strong>\r\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-98cefd8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\">\r\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\r\n<div class=\"is-active tabs-panel\">\r\n<div class=\"bundle--tabs paragraph paragraph--type--tabs paragraph--view-mode--default\">\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"columns small-12\">\r\n<div class=\"body field__item\">David Pellman, M.D. is the Margaret M.

His postdoctoral fellowship was at the Whitehead Institute/Massachusetts Institute of Technology.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe Pellman Lab works on the mechanism of cell division and how certain cell division errors drive rapid genome evolution. His research has contributed to the understanding of cell division, the origin of cell division errors in cancer, how cell division errors drive genetic instability and the mechanisms driving rapid evolution of cancer genomes. Our contributions include (1) the co-discovery of formin-dependent actin nucleation and a mechanism for spindle positioning during asymmetric cell division, (2) discoveries establishing that whole genome duplication can drive tumorigenesis, alter cell physiology, and accelerate evolutionary adaptation, and (3) the discovery of a mechanism explaining chromothripsis, a mutational process that generates rapid karyotype evolution in cancer and congenital disease.</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e552a16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\">\r\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"> </div>\r\n</div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-06T16:10:28", "last_modification_date": "2026-01-28T14:34:52", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/97039045251?pwd=WDFjUGV3Y1FxeG9rTUIrOGpiUXhLQT09", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "David Pellman, M.D., Margaret M.

We uncovered a new mechanism for coincidence detection in the Drosophila head direction network. To maintain an accurate sense of direction, head direction neurons that signal orientation during navigation must learn to anchor to relevant external sensory cues in novel environments. Yet the synaptic mechanism for this form of unsupervised learning is unknown in any organism. In Drosophila, GABAergic visual inputs converge onto head direction neurons, and these inhibitory synapses change strength with experience to learn the relationship between visual landmarks and head direction. However, how coincident pre- and postsynaptic activity is detected across this inhibitory synapse is not understood. We discovered that neurons which release the monoamine octopamine close a feedback loop that conveys postsynaptic head direction activity onto presynaptic terminals of visual inputs. This octopamine pathway is required for anchoring the head direction network to visual cues. Furthermore, pairing structured activation of octopamine neurons with a visual cue is sufficient to drive rapid plasticity, even without postsynaptic head direction cell activity. Previous work has extensively characterized coincidence detection mechanisms at excitatory synapses; our work defines a novel mechanism for coincidence detection at an inhibitory synapse, in which postsynaptic activity is relayed via a neuromodulatory neuron onto presynaptic terminals.<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-21T16:26:07", "last_modification_date": "2026-02-16T13:34:30", "link_label": "Web Page", "link_url": "https://vcresearch.berkeley.edu/faculty/yvette-fisher", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/64813563657", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Yvette Fisher, UC Berkeley", "organizer": "SV BMI Host: Pavan Ramdya", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/119404/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/19/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/88/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 70929, "title": "BMI Distinguished Seminar // Manish Saggar", "slug": "bmi-distinguished-seminar-manish-saggar", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/bmi-distinguished-seminar-manish-saggar", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32317/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32317/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/32317/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-09-09", "end_date": "2026-09-09", "start_time": "12:15:00", "end_time": "13:15:00", "description": "", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-21T16:42:23", "last_modification_date": "2026-02-16T13:33:32", "link_label": "Web Page", "link_url": "https://profiles.stanford.edu/manish-saggar", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/64813563657", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Manish Saggar, Stanford University", "organizer": "SV BMI Host: K.
