Cori Bargmann and Marc Tessier-Lavigne Lab Reunion
In 1991, Drs. Cori Bargmann and Marc Tessier-Lavigne opened their labs at UCSF. Together they shared not only common lab space, but also scientific ideas, personnel, and a common philosophy and approach to science. After almost a decade of fruitful collaboration and friendship between Marc and Cori and their lab members, the labs were separated when Marc moved to Stanford University. Shortly after, Cori increased the physical distance between the labs when she joined the faculty at The Rockefeller University in New York. In 2011, Marc accepted an offer to become the President of The Rockefeller University and the two labs were once again together at the same institution.
To celebrate this reunion and over 20 years of friendship and collaboration, all Bargmann and Tessier-Lavigne lab members and alumni were invited to a one-day symposium that took place on August 24, 2013. The symposium was an overwhelming success! The day's agenda included four scientific sessions, allowing a total of 16 former lab members to present the exciting progress they have made in their respective fields and to reminisce about their time working with Cori and Marc. Extensive breaks between sessions allowed for former colleagues to catch up with one another and enabled connections to form between different generations of Bargmann and Tessier-Lavigne lab members. The day concluded with a sit-down dinner accompanied by a slide show of former and present lab members, before culminating with a series of sentimental and humorous stories about Cori and Marc.
