DESCRIPTION: \n\nOn Wednesday\, February 15\, Luis Barreiro (Associate Prof
 essor\, Biological Sciences Division\, Medicine\, Genetic Medicine\, Unive
 rsity of Chicago) will be giving a talk entitled “Exploring evolutionary i
 mmunogenomics: Lessons from our ancestors and past pandemics” as part of t
 he Emerging Topics of Health (EToH) Seminar series\, cohosted by the Depar
 tments of Microbiology and Immunology\, Physiology and Human Genetics\, th
 e Goodman Cancer Institute (GCI)\, the McGill University Research Centre o
 n Complex Traits (MRCCT) and M[i]4. If you are interested in meeting with 
 Professor Barreiro one-on-one\, send me an email @ marianne.provost [at] m
 cgill.ca.\n\n \n\nGrad students\n\nSign up to have lunch with our guest sp
 eaker! There will be a lunch with Dr Barreiro for graduate students and po
 stdocs. If you would like to have lunch with our guest speaker\, please fi
 ll out this SURVEY. The lunch will be held from 12h to 1h in Room #530 in 
 the Bellini.\n\n\n	Note there will be a 5à7 after the talk at Brass Doors P
 ub (2171 Crescent Street) and anyone (students\, postdocs\, and faculty) a
 re welcome to join!\n\n\n \n\nAbstract\n\nInfectious diseases have always 
 been a major health problem throughout the world\, imposing strong selecti
 ve pressure on the human genome. Despite the recent development of vaccine
 s and antibiotics\, there are still nearly 15 million deaths every year at
 tributable to the effects of infectious diseases. Although genetic studies
  of infectious diseases have identified important pathways involved in pro
 tective immunity\, very little is known about the underlying genetic and e
 volutionary factors contributing to differences in susceptibility to infec
 tious diseases at the population level. In this talk\, I will discuss the 
 importance of host genetic factors\, natural selection\, and social gradie
 nts in shaping population differences in innate immune responses to infect
 ious agents.\n
