Apr3EEB Seminar: Arvid Ågren (Cleveland Clinic/Case Western Univ.)Biology/Physics Building3:30 PM
Title: Within-organism conflicts: From levels of selection to evolutionary therapy
From host Dan Bolnick:
Arvid is author of the book “A Gene’s Eye View of Evolution”, and a very broad and deep thinker about evolutionary ideas. He is a population geneticist and evolutionary theorist, and a really inspiring speaker with a deep appreciation for the history of the field. He is one of the leaders at the exciting intersection of broadly applicable evolutionary theory, and applied work to understand cancer biology through the lens of evolution. -
