TODAY!

 

Spring 2008 Seminar Series on Computational and Systems Biology

Friday, March 14, 2008

Biochemistry and Biophysics

Title:  Innovation in Biology: the Evolution and Engineering of New Cellular
Behaviors
Abstract: Eukaryotic cells display an extremely diverse range of signaling
behaviors.  Remarkably, these diverse responses are, for the most part,
regulated by a common, limited toolkit of molecular components.  What is the
origin of the evolutionary plasticity of these signaling systems, and how do
new and diverse behaviors arise?  We are investigating the modular design
principles of cell signaling systems, and how these principles can be
exploited by evolution, pathogens, and engineers to reprogram cellular
behavior.



Light refreshments to be served at 2:45 p.m.
