The Evolutionary Arms Race
Evolutionary change is driven by competition between genes and proteins with opposing functions. As viruses and bacteria develop new ways to outwit the immune system, the immune system must adapt and fight back. By looking at rapidly evolving DNA, Dr. Harmit Malik identifies and studies the changes in our ability to fight infections and diseases like cancer. Come hear about the fascinating mysteries this evolutionary biologist is unraveling.
