The SVU NY Spring 2010 Events
March & April

 

 March 18 & 25, Thursdays, 7:30 PM

 

Two Lectures on Georg Mendel by Dr. Eva Derman

Lecure 1: The Legacy of Georg Mendel, the Long-Forgotten Augustine Monk
Lecure 2: Gregor Mendel: How his discoveries of genes led to biotechnology, and how biotechnology  is affecting our lives.

 

Gregor Mendel can be considered the father of modern biology. This lecture will discuss how Mendel’s scientific contributions led to the acceptance of Darwins’ theory of evolution, our understanding of heredity, the concept of a gene and isolation of genes through gene cloning, and ultimately the unraveling of the mysteries of the human genome. Mendel’s discoveries will be presented within a historical context, with an emphasis on the ethical questions raised by these discoveries.

 

Dr. Eva Derman is a molecular biologist whose research interests are gene structure and regulation, biomarkers of aging, identification of tissue-specific enhancers/promoters, chromatin structure of active and silent genes, molecular immunology and molecular endocrinology. In her most recent research Dr. Derman developed genetically- engineered mice, to be used as animal models of growth retardation in chronic inflammatory diseases.

 

 

April 7, Wednesday, 6:30 PM

 

Czech Writers Under Siege and Czech Literary History. A lecture by Prof. Jiri Holy, DrSc

 

In his lecture “Czech Writers Under Siege and Czech Literary History,” Professor Holý will reflect on several problematic areas in recent Czech history—literary and otherwise—which he was forced to confront while writing his book for English-speaking readers.

 

Jiří Holý, professor at the Institute for Czech Literature and Literary Studies at the Philosophical Faculty of Charles University in Prague, is one of the world’s leading experts on Czech literature of the twentieth century.
