Join us for the 2013 Genetics GIDP Seminar Series co-hosted by MCB, CMM, SNRE, IMB, and ARL. This series features five presentations by renowned researchers tackling various topics in genetics and biology. On February 6, Nobel Laureate Mario Capecchi discusses gene targeting in mammalian development. Anil Menon presents on cardiovascular disease and maternal-fetal gene regulation on February 20. Additional talks cover organism size determinants, genomic data in human evolution, and MHC class I molecules' biology. Don’t miss these enlightening sessions every Wednesday at 3 PM!

These seminars co-hosted with MCB, CMM, SNRE, IMB, ARL FEB 6 Mario Capecchi, Nobel Laureate in Medicine, HHMI -Gene targeting, homeobox genes, mammalian development, including neurogenesis, organogenesis, and limb development, behavior, and modeling human diseases in the mouse, are all current areas of research. FEB 20 Anil Menon, Univ. of Cincinnati, Dept of Genetics -Cardiovascular system disease, diabetes, obesity, and regulation of genes and proteins at the maternal-fetal interface are targeted areas of research. 5 Presentations you won’t want to miss!! INTRODUCING GENETICS GIDP SEMINAR SERIES 2013 Union Kiva Weds 3PM Feb 6*DuVal Feb 20 Mar 6 Apr 17 May 1 MAR 6 Felisa Smith, Univ. of New Mexico, Dept of Biology -Why organisms are the size they are? Extreme environments, paleomiddens, museum, and computer based models are used to examine local and regional adaptations in some of her current research. APR 17 John Novembre, UCLA, Dept of Ecol and EvolBiol -Theoretical and statistical analyses of genomic scale population genetic data are applied to human evolutionary history, also canid genome mapping are areas of current research. MAY 1 Peter Parham, Stanford, School of Medicine -Biology, genetics, and evolution of MHC class I molecules are investigated, including the interactions between NK cell receptors and their MCH class I ligands, and how these differences influence clinical transplantation.
