We are pleased to announce the Spring 2018 Seminar Series schedule. CMCI co-sponsors these Thursday seminars with IBEST. Students wishing to receive course credit for attending should register for BCB 501, CRN 31371. All seminars will be held at 12:30 p.m. in JEB 104 on the Moscow campus.

The next IBEST/CMCI seminar is on Thursday, October 11, 12:30 p.m. in EP 122. Fabienne Chevance, Research Assistant Professor in Biology at the University of Utah, will present, “Effect of ajacent codons on MRNA translation.” Her work has uncovered the importance of codon pair and codon triplet interactions in regulating the speed of translation in bacteria.

Dr. Aaron King, a professor at the University of Michigan, will present the first IBEST/CMCI Seminar of the semester on Thursday, January 24 at 12:30 p.m. in LSS 277. Dr. King is interested in studying evolution and ecology at long temporal and spatial scales using stochastic approaches. He’s done work on disease modeling and method/model/software…

Reproducibility of research results across repeated studies is a defining feature of science. However, in the last few years scientists across several fields including (but not limited to) psychology, cancer biology, biochemical science, preclinical research, ecology, and evolution have been facing difficulty reproducing well-known results in their respective fields. This disconcerting trend has resulted in…

We have a great line up of talks for the Fall 2018 CMCI/IBEST shared seminar series. Mark these dates on your calendar and plan to attend! All seminars are on Thursdays at 12:30 in the Engineering/Physics Building, room 122.
