Evolutionary Forces in Humans and Pathogens

Evolution Matters Lecture Series - Pardis Sabeti, Associate Professor, Center for Systems Biology at Harvard University/Department of Immunology and Infectious Diseases at Harvard School of Public Health
The genome revolution has created unprecedented opportunities to study human biology, evolution, and infectious diseases. Geneticist Pardis Sabeti discussed the rapidly emerging techniques and resources her lab is applying to advance our understanding of natural selection in the human genome and the genomic evolution of microbial pathogens such as Lassa virus, Ebola virus, Plasmodium falciparum malaria, and Vibrio cholerae.
The Evolution Matters Lecture Series is supported by a generous gift from Drs. Herman and Joan Suit.
