Welcome to the annual Darwin Day celebration at the university of Oslo. This open event is for everybody interested in science and history. Topic this year: The ecology and evolution of infectious diseases.

This seminar is a joint event between the Sven Furberg seminars in Bioinformatics and Statistical genomics and the Hans Prydz Guest Lectures.

The two lectures will be presented by Dr. Tuuli Lappalainen, Junior Investigator and Core Member at the New York Genome Center, and Assistant Professor in the Department of Systems Biology at Columbia University, New York, USA, and Dr. Julio Saez-Rodriguez, Professor of Computational Biomedicine at the RWTH-Aachen University Hospital, Aachen, German, and visiting group leader at the EMBL-EBI.
