SFB 680 Conference
Forecasting evolution?
Time: July 8 (2pm) - July 11 (1pm), 2015
Venue: Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon
Evolutionary biology is changing its focus from reconstructing history to predicting future processes. For a number of systems, quantitative prediction methods have emerged recently or will be available in the near future. These include parallel evolution experiments with microbes, viral evolution and epidemiology, somatic evolution of cancer and cancer therapy, and evolutionary ecology. This meeting brings together experts on all of these areas to discuss what is, what may become, and what is not predictable in evolution.
