SUMMARY:CompLifeSci seminar
DESCRIPTION:Adj. Prof. Kalle Parvinen​\, University of Turku\, Evolution 
 &amp\; Adaptive Dynamics\, Department of Mathematics and Statistics\nAdapt
 ive dynamics – understanding evolution by natural selection using mathem
 atical modelling​\n\nand\n\nAssoc. Prof. Anton Zavialov​\, University 
 of Turku\, Joint Biotechnology Laboratory (JBL)\, Department of Chemistry
 ​\nStructural basis for Acinetobacter baumannii biofilm formation​\n\n
 Dr. Kalle Parvinen is a mathematician. He received his Ph.D. degree (2001)
  in applied mathematics from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics 
 at the University of Turku\, where he is also currently working. His resea
 rch interests include the mathematical modelling of phenotypic evolution b
 y natural selection (Adaptive dynamics)\, including the phenomena of evolu
 tionary suicide and evolutionary branching\, metapopulation models\, and e
 volution of dispersal\, cooperation\, and specialization.\n\nDr. Anton Zav
 ialov is a group leader and Academy research fellow at the Department of C
 hemistry\, University of Turku. His research interests include nosocomial 
 infections and infections of indwelling devices\, which are major healthca
 re problems worldwide. These infections are strongly associated with the a
 bility of pathogens to form biofilms on biotic and abiotic surfaces. Pan-a
 ntibiotic resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most troublesome
  pathogens\, capable of colonizing medical devices by means of Csu pili\, 
 an adhesive organelle that belongs to the widespread class of archaic chap
 erone-usher pili. Recently\, we obtained the first atomic-resolution insig
 ht into the mechanism of bacterial attachment to abiotic surfaces. We foun
 d that archaic pili use a conceptually novel binding mechanism that enable
 s bacterial adhesion to structurally variable substrates. The results sugg
 est a simple and cheap solution to reduce infections of A. baumannii and r
 elated pathogens.\n\nCoffee served at 09:45.
