SUMMARY:Biological Sciences Colloquium: Chandika Rani Ganesh Babu
DESCRIPTION:Chandika Rani Ganesh Babu\, PhD candidate in the Latch Lab\, will be presenting a talk about her work entitled “Applied Genomics for White-tailed Deer Management: Population Monitoring and Chronic Wasting Disease.”  The abstract is as follows: \n\nChronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease affecting deer and related species. As it continues to spread across North America\, it presents growing challenges for wildlife conservation and management. Understanding why some animals are more susceptible than others and developing better tools to monitor wild populations are critical steps toward effective disease control.  This talk will explore how genetics and genomic tools are advancing our understanding of white-tailed deer populations and the biological mechanisms underlying CWD susceptibility. Using large-scale\, range-wide sampling\, the talk will highlight how modern genomics can reveal patterns of population structure\, disease vulnerability\, and pathways that may shape future wildlife management strategies.  Join us to learn how genetics is helping address one of the most pressing disease challenges facing North American wildlife. \n\nPlease note that this week\, colloquium will be taking place at 3:30pm in the Union Alumni Fireside Lounge as the keynote talk of the 2026 Biological Sciences Research Symposium.

SUMMARY:Biological Sciences Colloquium: Dr. Daisy Sahoo
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Daisy Sahoo\, professor of biochemistry at Medical College of Wisconsin\, will be giving a talk about her work entitled “Receptor-mediated Approaches to Reducing Cardiovascular Risk.” The abstract is as follows: \nAtherosclerosis\, a major cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD)\, is an inflammatory disease resulting from the build-up of cholesterol in plaque along the artery walls. As such\, the development of strategies to lower plasma cholesterol levels remains a high priority.  While various lipid-lowering therapies designed to prevent cholesterol from accumulating in the blood have proved successful\, such treatments are sometimes accompanied by adverse side effects and residual CVD risk.  In this seminar\, we will discuss three different receptor-based approaches to reducing plasma cholesterol and CVD risk. At the level of the macrophage\, we will focus on the roles of CD36 (an oxidized LDL receptor) and free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFAR4) in the development of atherosclerosis.  We will also discuss SR-BI\, a receptor responsible for mediating HDL-cholesterol delivery to the liver for whole body cholesterol excretion. \nThe presentation will begin at 3:00 PM in Lapham Hall N101\, preceded by an informal reception from 2:45-3:00 PM.
