[BIC-announce] Seminar in Biomedical Engineering - Wednesday Dec 4th - 1 pm - Room 333

[Christophe Grova]

Dear all,

We will have our next Biomedical Engineering seminar this coming Wednesday

Wednesday ­ December 4th,  at 1 pm

Location: Room  333 Lyman Duff Building (Biomedical Engineering Dpt, 3775
University Street).

 Speaker:  Dr. Yu (Brandon) Xia, Ph.D., Department of Bioengineering,
McGill University. 

Dr. Xia is candidate for associate membership in Biomedical Engineering
department, so attendance from our staff members and their students is
highly encouraged.
 
Title: 
Biological Networks in Three Dimensions

Abstract:
Recent advances in experimental proteomics have generated a wealth of data
regarding proteins and protein-protein interactions in the native cellular
environment.  However, most proteomic analyses operate on a highly abstract
level, treating proteins as nodes and protein-protein interactions as edges.
Here, two studies are highlighted where three-dimensional modeling of
protein networks within and between species provides insights into the
biophysics and evolution of biological systems.  First, a structural
analysis of the yeast protein-protein interaction network reveals that
protein evolution is constrained by the biophysics of protein folding, the
mutational robustness of the native structure, and the biophysics and
function of protein-protein interactions.  Second, a structural analysis of
human-virus protein-protein interaction networks reveals distinct principles
governing antagonism versus cooperation in host-pathogen and within-host
interactions.
