Thursday December 16, 2010, at 16:00 in GEN Auditorium A (just before the Christmas apero) :
Presentation of the Doctoral Program in Integrative Experimental and Computational Biology
This is an opportunity for students to learn about the objectives and requirements of the IECB program, the resources at its disposal and how it will coordinate its activities with the CUSO StarOmics doctoral program.
Katja Guschanski obtained her PhD in 2009 at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology working in the group of Linda Vigilant on population genetics of wild mountain gorillas. Since then she has worked as a postdoc at the Imperial College London looking at the factors affecting speciation in a group of African primates, the guenons. Katja is joining Henrik Kaessmann’s lab on December 1st 2010. Her new project here will focus on processes of gene origination in a number of mammalian lineages.
Julie Vienne (Mehdi Tafti’s group) will present her PhD thesis “Les effets du gamma-hydroxybutyrate, du baclofène et des récepteurs GABA (B) sur l’activité du cerveau et le sommeil chez la souris et l’homme” on December 10, 2010 (GEN, auditorium A, 17:00).
Hyun-Gyu Hor (Mehdi Tafti’s group) will present his PhD thesis “Molecular Genetics of Narcolepsy” on December 7, 2010 (GEN, auditorium C, 16:00).
