Seminar within POB1
Next Wednesday, on December 18th at 4 p.m. seminar will be held under POB1. The lecture will be given by Dr Taras Oleksyk, from Oakland University, USA.
Dr Taras Oleksyk is an expert in genomics, evolutionary genetics, and comparative genomics. In particular, he is interested in the mechanisms of genome evolution and its implications for human adaptation and diseases. He is currently conducting research in Ukraine to discover new genetic factors that affect the development and pathology of type 1 diabetes (T1D), which may help predict the disease, identify therapies that delay progression, and/or improve metabolic control in people living with T1D.
He is also interested in the evolution and conservation of endangered species. He is actively involved in research focusing on genome assembly, variant analysis, and selection scanning in wild and domesticated animals. The title of Wednesday's lecture is: Filling Genomic gaps in the Forgotten Parts of Europe Ukraine's T1D Research Initiative (summary below).
