Disease

…can contribute to understanding disease and improving health.

Elfatih Eltahir explains how regional climate models can incorporate disease, population and other local conditions to guide adaptation. Drawing on work in the Nile Basin and Singapore, he discusses the limitations of global predictions, his Equation of the Future of Africa, and outdoor days as a more tangible measure of climate impacts.

…they relate to behavior, evolution, disease, and the current revolution in artificial intelligence.

This talk aims to show how new physical methods can advance biological and biomedical research. A major advance in physical chemistry in the last two decades has been the development of quantitative methods to directly observe individual molecules in solution, attached to surfaces, in the membrane of live cells or more recently inside live cells. These single-molecule fluorescence studies have now reached a stage where they can provide new insights into important biological problems. After presenting the principles of these methods, I will give some examples from our current research to probe
