October 8, 2020 - Special Seminar with Kiran R. Patil, MRC Toxicology Unit, University of Cambridge

Towards predicting evolution using mathematical models

Abstract:
Adaptive laboratory evolution has been successfully used to obtain cells with improved properties through natural selection. While being conceptually and operationally simple, it can provide access to complex traits without any knowledge of the involved genetic and regulatory elements.

Quntitative Biology
Quantitative Biology PhD program

The advent of large-throughput data is transforming life sciences into an increasingly quantitative discipline. The University of Lausanne (Switzerland) is at the forefront of this revolution, with quantitative research ramping up throughout the Faculty of Biology and Medicine, a dedicated department of Computational Biology, and interdisciplinary units such as the Center for Integrative Genomics. UNIL also hosts the headquarters of the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, to which many quantitative research groups are affiliated, and closely collaborates with EPFL on the same campus. Ideally situated along the lake of Geneva, near Lausanne's city center, UNIL brings together over 120 nationalities.ert text.

Reference
Grab your reusable mask!


Reusable masks are available at the secretariat, if you do not have yours, do not hesitate to come by!





Let us know when you are on site!

we need to keep track of who is when and where at all time
because we have to be able to identify and isolate people that were in contact if there is any new infection.
We therefore ask you to sign the presence sheet, which is available in the secretary area
