Math and Science Education Building 1001Seminar: Dr. Stanislava Chtarbanova-Rudloff – As time flies by: studying the impact of aging on Drosophila antiviral defenses
Math and Science Education Building 1001Abstract: Research in the Chtarbanova lab focuses on studying the changes in innate immune activation and function in the aging organism and how they relate to disease. We employ genetic, genomic and molecular approaches to understand how the process of aging shapes host-virus interactions, including immune defenses, and how older organisms survive infection. Indeed, viral infections are an important burden among the elderly and are often associated with higher morbidity and mortality. Importantly, with the increasing number of older individuals [...]
Seminar: Dr. Lukasz Ciesla – Biology is Chemistry: the Quest to Better Understand the Universal Language of Nature
Math and Science Education Building 1001According to the NASA definition, life is a self-sustaining chemical system capable of the Darwinian evolution. Living systems constantly interact with animate and inanimate matter to maintain their highly organized and far from thermodynamic equilibrium status (homeostasis). Small changes to this organized state may result in the system to be living no more. A multitude of chemical interactions occur between living systems and their environments to maintain homeostasis. Our lab has been eavesdropping on some of these chemical interactions to [...]
