Feb. 11th Math Bio Speaker

We were lucky to host Smadar Ben-Tabou DeLeon as the inaugural NMSU Math Bio speaker on Feb. 11th. Her talk dealt with gene regulatory networks in the sea urchin- particularly networks regulating sea urchin development.

The NMSU Math Bio students got to have lunch with Smadar, and the faculty universally enjoyed their time with her.

We have been continuing to look at gene regulatory networks- Jen Curtiss presented a workshop to the Math Bio students on Feb. 16th (and did a great job of answering all their questions!), and we will be looking at a gene regulatory networks paper at our next journal club. Stay tuned to hear about the paper, and the next batch of enchiladas that we will be sampling.

Here are some links for the Davidson lab (where Smadar is a postdoctoral fellow), and some of Smadar's papers:
