SUMMARY:mTOR signaling in growth and metabolism
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Michael N. Hall\n\nProfessor of Biochemistry Biozentrum\,
  University of Basel\n\nMichael N. Hall received his Ph.D. from Harvard Un
 iversity and was a\npostdoctoral fellow at the Pasteur Institute (Paris\, 
 France) and the\nUniversity of California\, San Francisco. He joined the B
 iozentrum of\nthe University of Basel (Switzerland) in 1987 where he is cu
 rrently\nProfessor and former Chair of Biochemistry. Hall is a pioneer in 
 the\nfields of TOR signaling and cell growth control. In 1991\, Hall and\n
 colleagues discovered TOR (Target of Rapamycin) and subsequently\nelucidat
 ed its role as a central controller of cell growth and\nmetabolism. The di
 scovery of TOR led to a fundamental change in how\none thinks of cell grow
 th. It is not a spontaneous process that just\nhappens when building block
 s (nutrients) are available\, but rather a\nhighly regulated\, plastic pro
 cess controlled by TOR -dependent\nsignaling pathways. As a central contro
 ller of cell growth and\nmetabolism\, TOR plays a key role in development\
 , aging\, and disease.\nHall is a member of the US National Academy of Sci
 ences and has\nreceived numerous awards\, including the Breakthrough Prize
  in Life\nSciences (2014) and the Albert Lasker Award for Basic Medical Re
 search\n(2017).\n\nThis webinar is hosted by Nick Ktistakis\n\nJoin live h
