Dr. Wendy Muse Sinek: How to Write a Research/Grant Proposal
This workshop will cover the basics of writing a research proposal. To get the most out of the workshop, come with an idea for a research project in mind.
K.C. Huang: "The Bluepint of Bacterial Cell Growth" K.C. Huang
How do cells grow? How do cells determine their shape? How do molecules inside cells get to the right place at the right time? Our group tries to answer these questions using a systems biology approach, in which we integrate interacting networks of protein and lipids with the physical forces determined by the spatial geometry of the cell. We use theoretical and computational techniques to make...
Dr. John Novembre: Computational Biology Seminar: Dr. John Novembre
New lenses on human genetic variation: Tools for interpreting population structure As humans first spread out across the globe and dispersed locally afterwards, genetic drift has been continually acting and has led to subtle levels of spatial structuring in genetic similarity. These patterns of population structure give perspective on human origins, shed light on evolutionary processes that...
Prof. Richard P. Van Duyne: Recent Progress in the Study of Single Molecule Chemistry at the Nanometer Length Scale and Picosecond Time Scale
During the last few years, there has been an explosion of interest and activity in the field of plasmonics. The goal of plasmonics is to control and manipulate light on the nanometer length scale using the properties of the collective electronic excitations in noble metal films or nanoparticles, known as surface plasmons. An improved understanding of the interactions between adsorbed molecules...
Federica Brandizzi: Life Inside Plant Cells, a Dynamic Perspective
Hosted by the postdocs in Plant & Microbial Biology
Eske Willerslev: MVZ Seminar: Eske Willerslev, "What we can learn from ancient genetics and genomics"
MVZ Lunch is a graduate level seminar series based on current and recent vertebrate research. Professors, graduate students, staff and visiting researchers present on current and past research projects.
Dr. Chris Cotsapas: Computational Biology Seminar: Dr. Chris Cotsapas, "Combining Genetics and Genomics to Gain Biological Insights"
As genetic and genomic studies become routine, new approaches are required to wrest biological insights from these data. These approaches must address the multifactorial nature of complex traits, the gene regulatory effects likely driving much of that architecture, and recognize that mechanisms can be used in multiple cell types across many contexts.
