In celebration of the struggle we all share, and all those who are in this fight for a better world, we are pleased to share our “One Truth” remix featuring Pardis Sabeti and Philomena Eromon.
- October 5, 2017The Leakey FoundationanemptytextllineIn this Dreamtalk, Dr. Atul Butte a researcher in biomedical informatics and a biotechnology entrepreneur in Silicon Valley and the head of the Institute for Computational Health Sciences at the University of California at San Francisco and Dr. Pardis Sabeti, a full professor in the Center for Systems Biology and Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University and also on the faculty of the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics at the Harvard School of Public Health, and a senior associate member at the Broad Institute and head of the Sabeti Lab will share how Big Data helps predict outbreaks and how advanced genomic sequencing technology identified a single point of infection from an animal reservoir to a human in the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
- January 19, 2017The Leakey FoundationanemptytextllineWe are in the midst of a revolution in the fields of genomics and public health. The availability of genome-wide sequence and variation data and the ability to rapidly generate new data have created unprecedented opportunities to study human biology, evolution, and disease. These tools are making it possible to carry out studies in the microbial pathogens that affect humans, such as Lassa, Ebola and Zika virus. They also may be used to develop and apply methods to investigate natural selection in the human genome and build new computational tools for studies of genomics and public health.
- August 31, 2016Harvard UniversityanemptytextllineThe genome revolution has created unprecedented opportunities to study human biology, evolution, and disease, and is making it possible to carry out unprecedented studies in the microbial pathogens that affect humans. Sabeti lab’s research goals are to use the rapidly emerging resources to develop and apply methods to investigate natural selection in the human genome and study the genomic evolution of the microbial pathogens that affect humans including Lassa virus, Ebola, Plasmodium Falciparum, and Vibrio Cholerae.
- April 28, 2014NIHODanemptytextllineToward the end of the 20th century, deadly microbes seemed to be springing up out of nowhere: Lassa virus in 1969, Ebola virus in 1976 and HIV in the 1980s. Recent data suggest these viruses may actually have been circulating widely for hundreds or thousands of years.
- February 16, 2010Nature EducationanemptytextllinePardis discusses the importance of statistical analysis of human genome sequences, which allows scientists to identify mutations in human DNA associated with various factors including the migration of human populations, the introduction of novel diseases, and changes in diet.
