Join us this Friday, ​​Sep 24 for our first meeting of the year! The first half of the meeting will be dedicated to discussing our club, talking about what we accomplished last year, and how you can get involved this year. We’re looking for many new people to join our board and help plan our amazing events!

During the second half of the meeting, Prof. Alvaro Sanchez, an Associate Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Yale University, will talk to us about his his work in a seminar entitled,​ "Evolutionary Engineering of Microbial Consortia". There will be a separate virtual room for interested attendees to talk to Dr. Sanchez after the seminar ends.

In this talk, Dr. Sanchez will overview the application of evolutionary engineering to microbial consortia. Dr. Sanchez will discuss the inherent obstacles of applying selection at the group level, and will also discuss how methods from directed evolution and ideas from quantitative and evolutionary genetics may inspire the development of effective and robust methodologies to engineer microbial consortia from the top-down.
Event will be virtual and free to the general public. Please RSVP on Eventbrite here​<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mit-microbiome-club-general-body-meeting-dr-alvaro-sanchez-tickets-172366221007>.
