Automoma de Madrid and got a PhD degree in theoretical Physics<br>in the Department of Theoretical Physics and IFT under the supervision<br>of Prof. Luis Ibañez. After holding several postdoctoral positions he <br>switched<br>field to Biology and at present is Professor at Columbia University<br>and is the Director of the 'Center for Topology of Cancer<br>Evolution and Heterogeneity' of that University. He is a leading<br>figure in his field in which he applies many important mathematical and<br>physical concepts to the study of Biological Systems. He has also<br>developped a very successful activity in disseminating the scientific<br>results to the general public. He has written two books recently for<br>Cambridge University Press with the titles "Understanding Coronavirus<br>(Understanding Life)" and "Topological Data Analysis for Genomics and<br>Evolution: Topology in Biology". The timeliness of his talk need not<br>be emphasized (see abstract at the end of this message), so we encourage<br>all our members and students not to miss this opportunity and attend <br>the talk.<br><br><br>We enclose the poster of the event including a link and QR to the<br>talk. We kindly ask you to distribute it to potentially interested<br>persons and to attend the talk<br><br><br> A. Gonzalez-Arroyo, A. Knebe and J.M. No<br><br><br><br><br>P.S.<br><br>Abstract:<br>COVID-19 is a disease caused by a coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2. As the<br>virus has been spreading around the world, hundred of thousands of<br>viral genomes have been sequenced. Genomes provide an accurate record<br>of variation and evolution and can inform how these viruses emerge and<br>evolve. In this talk I will discuss how mutations and recombinations<br>shape SARS-CoV-2 evolution, and how topological data analysis<br>techniques can help to understand the role of these processes in the<br>emergence of this and other potential future pandemics.”<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></pre><pre class="blue"><br>To unsubscribe: <a href="https://listas-correo.uam.es/sympa/sigrequest/joint-list-dept-ift-l">https://listas-correo.uam.es/sympa/sigrequest/joint-list-dept-ift-l</a></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
