A Series of Talks on Evolutionary Dynamics
This talk series explores the fascinating dynamics of evolution in finite populations, featuring cutting-edge research and theoretical approaches to understanding evolutionary processes in constrained systems.
Shikhara
20th May 2:30 PM ISTThis talk will present novel approaches to modeling the evolution of quantitative traits in finite populations, starting from first principles of population genetics and evolutionary theory.
Swathi Manivannan
14th June 9:30 PM ISTThis presentation will explore the concept of evolvability within the framework of fitness seascapes, examining how populations navigate and adapt to changing selective pressures.
Srishti Patil
10th July 9:30 PM ISTThis talk will discuss approaches to prevent evolutionary rescue in cancer cells, focusing on how understanding evolutionary dynamics can inform more effective treatment strategies that prevent resistance from emerging.
