Breakfast Club Seminar
"The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same: Dynamic Evolution in Ancient and Essential Traits"
Annalise Paaby
Assistant Professor
School of Biological Sciences
Georgia Tech
The Paaby lab explores major questions in evolution and quantitative genetics. They work with the nematode worm C. elegans and related Caenorhabditis species, with a particular focus on the role of molecular mechanisms in trait determination and evolution. Recent projects have included investigations into surprisingly variable genetic differences in the critical mechanisms of RNA interference and transfer RNAs. They are part of the School of Biological Sciences at Georgia Tech and the Southeast Center for Mathematics and Biology.
The IBB Breakfast Club Seminar Series was started with the spirit of the Institute's interdisciplinary mission in mind to feature local IBB faculty member's research in a seminar format. Faculty are often asked to speak at other universities and conferences, but do not often present at their home institution - this seminar series is an attempt to close that gap. IBB Breakfast Club Seminars are open to anyone in the bio-community.
