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.

SUMMARY:Biological Sciences Colloquium: Dr. David A. Spade
DESCRIPTION:Dr. David A. Spade\, professor of Mathematical Sciences at UWM\, will be giving a talk about his work entitled “Characterization of Zooplankton Motion through Detection of Changepoints.” The abstract is as follows: \nOver the last several decades\, oceanographers have been particularly interested in the motion of zooplankton and other aquatic animals. Common techniques for modeling this motion involve assuming that the animal moves at random\, or that there is little relationship between the moves the animal makes at close time steps. However\, natural phenomena among zooplankton suggest that their movement is not totally at random. To investigate this\, it is necessary to know what the animal does\, rather than just knowing where it is. In this talk\, I examine the actions the animal takes along its trajectory and the importance of each. The animal takes an action at each time step\, but some are more important than others in determining the overall shape of the trajectory. I examine the trajectory to determine where the “kinks” in it lie. In other words\, where does the animal change direction significantly? I present a method of constructing a sequence of actions that the animal takes to get from one point to another and discuss the implications of this technique for future problems.\nThe presentation will begin at 3:00 PM in Lapham Hall N101\, preceded by an informal reception from 2:45-3:00 PM.
