    The Principal Investigator (PI) Crash Course is a two-day intensive boot camp of seminars, discussions, and hands-on activity sessions to provide exposure to fundamental leadership and management skills and tools needed for success in your lab. This two-day intensive crash course integrates the principle skills that future and new PIs did not develop during their post-doctoral training, but will be necessary to survive as a new Lab leader and manager. Whether you are a doctoral student, postdoc, new PI, or looking to start your own lab, as a lab leader you will immediately be confronted on daily basis by a variety of situations that you must be prepared to handle. This crash course will provide you the tools you need to start your lab on the right foot. By the end of the workshop, participants will be familiar with the following topics: Negotiation skills for a new position/promotion/collaboration/publication Staffing skills for job posts/candidate screening/interviews/hiring Leadership and mentoring skills in the Lab People management: day-to-day/conflict resolution/misconduct/promotions/layoffs Time management: balancing research, teaching, service/when & how to say No Project management: planning/tracking progress/meeting deadlines/introduction to management software Network creation and maintenance: mentors/collaborators/supporters Real-life lab leader success stories and best tips from early-stage and experienced investigators Audience and Requirements Senior post-doctoral students and associate research scientists from any institution about to start their independent position search are particularly welcome to attend, and we strongly encourage new and recent PIs to participate as it is never too late to get an overview of the survival skills that you will need throughout your career.

    The Herbert and Florence Irving Institute for Cancer Dynamics will continue its seminar series on the topic of mathematical sciences underpinning cancer research. The monthly seminars take place on the second Wednesday of the month, 2:00-3:00 PM EST. The presentations are open to the Columbia community (in person and online) and to researchers outside Columbia (via Zoom). On Wednesday, January 15th (2:00 PM ET), IICD welcomes Cole Trapnell, Associate Professor, Department of Genome Sciences, University of Washington. Seminar hosted by José McFaline-Figueroa. The seminar will take place in person in Schermerhorn Hall 603 (Morningside Heights campus).

He earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Maryland, College Park, where he was jointly advised by Steven Salzberg and Lior Pachter. As a postdoc in John Rinn’s lab at Harvard’s Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology department, he pioneered methods for analyzing differentiation with single cell transcriptome sequencing.  He is the principal developer of several widely used open-source software tools for analyzing high-throughput sequencing experiments. At the University of Washington, his lab will focus on finding genes that govern stem cell maintenance and cell differentiation, primarily through single-cell genomics. The lab will operate at the interface between genomics and experimental cell biology to answer how cells make fate decisions.   If you would like to meet one-on-one (possibility via zoom) or attend the lunch or dinner with the speaker, please contact the event organizer.
