ERIC SIGGIA, THE ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY
Developmental genetics has furnished the parts list for vertebrate development, but it is not remotely possible to reassemble those parts and predict the outcome. Dr. Siggia wishes to quantify the genetic signals that define morphogenesis.
Current activities in the Hwa lab are in the area of quantitative and systemic biology. This is an emerging area of research at the interface of biology, biochemistry, engineering, and physics.
Vaccines have produced one of the largest increases in the age of life expectancy in human history. However massive challenges remain, with 17 million deaths per year due to infectious disease – mostly in the developing-world. Professor Kendall will discuss the particular challenges holding back vaccines within the developing world; together with potential solutions under development.
Michael Specter, Staff Writer for The New Yorker
A personal talk about what scientists owe the public, why they fall short so often, and how the press can do a better job of telling their story.
