Presidential Lecture

OIST Presidential Lecture - "Animal Beauty: Function and Evolution of Biological Aesthetics" by Dr. Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard

Monday, July 30, 2018 - 13:30 to 15:00
Seminar Room B250

Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard helped decipher the logic of the genes required to control early embryonic development. Based on her research, a plethora of transcription control genes was discovered and found to be conserved throughout evolution. In her talk she will discuss the basic mechanisms needed to establish a distinct pattern of cells during embryogenesis. She will also talk about the point of beauty in nature as well as why animals have patterns, a subject on which she has been writing a book. Her research laid the conceptual foundation for our understanding of organ formation and regeneration using the developmental control genes.
