Interdisciplinary Seminar

Interdisciplinary Seminar
-

This is a past event

Speakers:
Prof Ran Levi, Mathematics,"Topological analysis of data encoded as a graph"
Prof Stefan Hoppler, Institute of Medical Sciences, "Gene regulatory circuitry in Wnt signalling (positive and/or negative?) regulates size of heart muscle in embryonic development"

The aim of the Interdisciplinary Seminar is to hear about the research from other disciplines across our university and outside it, and to facilitate the establishment of new collaborations. Each seminar consists of 2 talks, each of maximum duration 20 minutes, leaving enough time for questions and lively discussion. The talks are aimed at a general audience, so that everybody can follow, regardless of their background. Everyone is very welcome to attend - not just physicists!
