Biology Seminar Series: How to Make a Modern Cell 9/24
Dr. Aaron Turkewitz, an authority on cell trafficking, will deliver a public seminar at Lake Forest College on Wednesday, September 24, 2008.
Aimed at a general audience, Dr. Turkewitz’s presentation titled “How to Make a Modern Cell” shows the evolution of cell membrane trafficking in the Tetrahymena thermophila. The seminar will be held in Meyer Auditorium, Hotchkiss Hall. The public is welcome to attend free of charge. A pre-seminar reception will be held at 3:45 p.m. Please call 847-735-6010 for more information.
Dr. Turkewitz is an associate professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics and Cell Biology at the University of Chicago. He received his BA in biochemistry from Harvard University, his PhD from Harvard University in biochemistry and molecular biology, and he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of California San Francisco. His research uses the simple eukaryote Tetrahymena thermophila. The Turkewitz lab investigates membrane trafficking and the endocytic pathway. Dr. Turkewitz has published more than 30 peer reviewed papers.
Dr. Turkewitz was the recipient of the Faculty Award for Excellence in Graduate Teaching. He currently serves on the committee of Genetics and Cell Physiology at University of Chicago.
The event is sponsored by the Lake Forest College Biology Department, and the College's Center for Chicago Programs.
