Recordatorio de seminario: "Evolution in host-pathogen systems: emergent trade-offs and self-evolved criticality"
by Daniel Manzano 17 Dec '18

17 Dec '18

El grupo de Física Estadística y de los Sistemas Complejos les invita al siguiente seminario: Ponente: Víctor Buendía. Título: Evolution in host-pathogen systems: emergent trade-offs and self-evolved criticality. Resumen: Understanding how evolution works is an open question in ecological systems. In the last years there has been an effort to understand host-parasite systems. Despite the advances in the field of computational epidemiology, there are many features of the observed viral strains that we cannot understand yet: why are most viruses mild? How does natural selection operate in these systems? How does co-evolution with host emerges? In this talk, I will review a stochastic evolutionary model that displays an emergent trade-off between transmission and virulence by a self-organization mechanism, called "self-evolved criticality". I will show how this self-evolved criticality regulates the virulence of the epidemy, making it mild, and how extensions of this model can give new insights into the field of evolutionary biology. Fecha y hora: Martes 18 de Diciembre, 12:00 horas. Lugar: Seminario de Física estadística. Planta baja del edificio de Física. Facultad de Ciencias.

Hola a todos, os informo del próximo seminario del departamento, que será el último del año 2018 (Atentos al cambio de día). Ponente: Víctor Buendía.
