Mathematical Population Genetics of Bacteria: Evolutionary Dynamics on Multicopy Plasmids

Explore the intricate world of bacterial evolution in this 40-minute lecture by Hildegard Uecker from the Max Planck Institute. Delve into the mathematical population genetics of bacteria, focusing on the evolutionary dynamics occurring on multicopy plasmids. Gain insights into how these genetic elements influence bacterial populations and their evolutionary trajectories. Part of the Fields Institute's Thematic Program on Mathematical Oncology and the Ecology and Evolution of Cancer series, this talk bridges the gap between microbiology and cancer research. Discover how understanding bacterial genetics can contribute to our knowledge of cancer evolution and ecology. Scheduled for October 1, 2024, this lecture offers a unique perspective on the intersection of mathematics, genetics, and oncology.
