Hosted by the Population Health Science Institute

Dr Michael Fletcher from Nature genetics joins us in Oakfield House to offer insight into topics that the journal is currently interested in, the process of publishing a paper with Nature Genetics (submission, peer review, etc.), plus details about an editorial career and how he got into it. 

The event will be held in person in OS6, however you can also join remotely via Zoom. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion during the seminar, and Michael is also available to meet after the event. If you would like to meet with Michael please get in touch and I will make the necessary arrangements. 

Biography
Michael Fletcher (ORCID) studied for his Ph.D. at Cancer Research UK’s Cambridge Institute at the University of Cambridge in the laboratory of Bruce Ponder. His project used systems biology approaches to identify the functional mechanism by which FGFR2, a breast cancer risk locus identified using GWAS, exerts its effect. He then moved to Germany and was a postdoctoral fellow in the Molecular Genetics department of Peter Lichter at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, where he performed bioinformatics analysis to help characterize the epigenomic and master regulator landscapes of adult glioblastoma. He joined the journal in 2020.
