Dr. Weinmann completed her PhD at the University of California, Los Angeles. She moved from California to Wisconsin where she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and then she moved from Wisconsin to Seattle, Washington, and joined the faculty at the University of Washington Department of Immunology. Now, ten years later, she has made her way to Alabama.She is currently working on the mechanisms by which lineage-specifying transcription factors regulate cell fate decisions in development. A major focus of her research is on the T-box and BTB-ZF transcription factor families, which are required to promote cellular transitions in numerous developmental systems, ranging from early embryogenesis to immune cell fate. 

We are so excited to have Dr. Amy Weinmann as the 2021 GBS symposium keynote speaker.
