M*A*T*H Colloquium

Every semester since Fall, 1974!

Upcoming Colloquium Session: Wednesday, April 1 @ 4pm 

Symmetries and Eigenvectors

Symmetries and Eigenvectors - Alex Strang, UC Berkeley, April 1, 4-5pm.  We'll explore prions, proteins spreading through cells like infection. Prions cause devastating brain diseases in humans (Creutzfeldt-Jakob) and cattle (mad cow) but can be harmless in yeast. The puzzle? What we saw in test tubes didn’t match what happened inside cells. By building a computer model tracking prion multiplication and yeast cell division, we discovered a hidden difference between prion types explaining why some are stable, OR unstable.,
