Light as an Architect: How Light Quality Shapes Plant Structure

Dr. Ullas Pedmale

Ubiquitination pathways in bacterial immunity

Dr. Kevin Corbett, UC San Diego
- | Leidy 109 and Zoom

Abstract: In the past decade, bacteria have been found to possess over 100 distinct immune pathways that protect them against viral infection. Many of these antiviral immune pathways represent ancient versions…



Time and temperature matter in plant thermotolerance

Dr. Nick Kaplinsky, Swarthmore College
- | Leidy 109 and Zoom

Abstract: Plant responses to heat are finely tuned with even one degree differences affecting the kinetics of induced heat shock responses. Using a genetic approach, we identified a role for intron retention in…



The Panorama: Proteins, Pathogens, and Science in Peril

Dr. Brandon Ugbunu, Yale University
- | Fagin 116 and Zoom

In this seminar, I will discuss various projects in protein evolution and mathematical epidemiology that examine the forces the dictate disease dynamics. Lastly, I will discuss my work at the intersection between…
