This coming Wednesday, 18 December, the lecture will be given by Dr. Taras Oleksyk from Oakland University, USA. Dr. Oleksyk is an expert in genomics, evolutionary genetics, and comparative genomics. He is particularly interested in the mechanisms of genome evolution and its implications for human adaptation and disease. He is currently conducting research in Ukraine to discover new genetic factors that influence the development and pathology of type 1 diabetes (T1D), which may help to predict the disease, identify therapies to 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.
