Seminar Series

The Department of Computational Biology holds two regular seminar series featuring guests, faculty, and graduate students to highlight topics and the research relevant to the department and its community. 

Bioengineering species in the wild: The eco-evolutionary dynamics of gene drives

Gene drives are genetic constructs that violate the laws of Mendelian inheritance and are therefore able to spread rapidly in populations, even under strong negative selection pressures. The recent success in engineering such constructs, and their potential to suppress harmful species such as disease-vectors and invasive species has generated much excitement.
