Join us for the Faculty Symposium Block 7 in Bemis Great Hall on Monday, March 25, from 3:30-5 p.m. Two CC faculty members will share their research in the fields of organismal biology and ecology and molecular biology. Light refreshments will be served
Assistant Professor of Molecular Biology
Meredith Course will present “A Cryptic Code in Alzheimer Disease.” In her team’s work to unravel the complex causes of Alzheimer disease, they discovered a novel, cryptic exon that is specifically expressed in individuals with the disease.
Assistant Professor of Organismal Biology and Ecology
Roxaneh Khorsand will present, “It’s Getting Hot Up There! The effects of experimental warming on Arctic plant-pollinator interactions and floral rewards.” Dr. Khorsand’s talk synthesizes the work CC students have done to quantify the effects of short- and long-term warming on flowering patterns, pollination, floral rewards, and plant reproductive success in northern Alaska.
