Departmental seminar on 11th October 2023
We have a guest, Dr. Jiří Zahradník from First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University. The topic of his lecture is How Yeast Gained Attention in Pandemic.
Viruses rapidly evolve to stay a step ahead of their hosts. To deal with ever changing enemy, we need new strategies. In this presentation, we will explore how techniques, classically employed in protein engineering, have recently gained prominence as indispensable tools for dissecting the intricate interfaces between hosts and pathogens. We will dive into the methodology that enables us to follow and predict pathogen evolution and will eventually change our approach to vaccine and antibody therapies. Our primary focus will revolve around SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses.
The lecture will take place in person, in the hall CH3, Faculty of Science, Hlavova 8, Praha 2.
