Student talks
On Friday 1 March 2024 at 9:30 AM at the UW Faculty of Physics (Pasteura 5, Warsaw; room 1.40) we are hosting a series of student talks:
Anna Dziarmaga-Działyńska
Epidemic on a graph
The Justinian Plague epidemic took place in the mid-6th century, and reached most of the Mediterranean Basin, Western Europe and Persia. The disease is caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis, and the main reservoir are rodents, particularly rats. Plague is transmitted to humans (and between humans) mainly through the bites of fleas and lice. The aim of our simulation is meant to determine the principal tramsmission vector of the pathogen which are either rats, or humans themselves. We make use of the differences between transport networks for the rats (that traveled with grain shipments) and for people, who mainly traveled via extensive road network.
Antoni Lis
Removal kinetics from the cell nucleus
In my presentation, I aim to provide a concise overview of our current understanding of mRNA export from the cell nucleus to the cytoplasm, and to offer insights gained from our experimental investigations into this intricate process.
Dawid Woś
Physics of Concretion Growth
A concretion is a dense, solid mass created through the deposition of mineral cement within the interstices among particles, commonly discovered in sedimentary rock or soil. While concretions typically exhibit ovoid or spherical shapes, irregular forms are also observed. The discussion will center on exploring the various physical processes underlying the formation of these structures.
Piotr Śmieja
Docking Dihydrobacillaene to CYP107 from Bacillus subtilis
It has been established that the P450 enzymes from the PksX gene cluster in Bacillus Subtilis participate in the biosynthesis of bacillane, the known antibiotic. In my presentation I discuss the process of docking dihydrobacillaene, a substrate in this process, to the P450 from Bacillus Subtilis, as well as the homolog proteins from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Bacillus atrophaeus.
We warmly welcome everyone to attend the talk and the Soft Matter Coffee Break after the seminar, held in room 2.63 (2nd floor).
