Club EvMed logo
Thursday, September 24, 2020
11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join us for a special Club EvMed virtual evolutionary medicine conversation where we'll be highlighting some of the exciting graduate student research in the field. We will hear 12-minute research talks from Lafi Aldakak, Chenlu Di, and Iman Hamid (see titles below). There will be a brief Q&A period at the end of each talk, plus breakout rooms after all 3 talks to allow for more in depth conversations with the speakers.

"The evolution of immune sensitivity and tolerance under multiple costs of immunity and ecological feedbacks" by Lafi Aldakak, University of Zurich Institute for Evolutionary Medicine

"The causes of strongly depleted recent adaptation in human disease genes" by Chenlu Di, University of Arizona

"Rapid adaptation to malaria in under 20 generations in the admixed human population of Cape Verde" by Iman Hamid, Duke University
