EPPIcenter seminar: Andrea Graham- Evolution of Host /Parasite interactions- cytokines, antibodies, and selection pressure.
Andrea Graham is an evolutionary ecologist with strong interests in the processes that drive heterogeneity in hosts, parasites, and diseases. Her lab aims to understand how natural selection has shaped strategies for both host defense and parasite transmission. We are especially interested in discovering why hosts are so heterogeneous in immune responsiveness. Their laboratory methods will be familiar to immunologists, but their questions and quantitative methods are drawn from evolutionary ecology.
