Dear students,

Please join us for the upcoming CUNY SPH Epidemiology and Biostatistics Seminar - November 19  at 4pm.
The seminar will be held in our East Harlem Building, at 2180 3rd Ave at 119th St (Rm 116).
A short wine and cheese reception will follow the lecture.


ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Dr. Raper is a professor in the Biology Department in Hunter College, CUNY. She currently leads a program project (NSF/Gates) to generate transgenic cows that will be resistant to African trypanosomes. This will allow the small holder farmer to raise cattle in the tsetse fly belt in Sub-Saharan Africa, and potentially eliminate a reservoir of human-infective parasites. Variants of the transgene, apolipoprotien L, are prevalent in African-Americans that are linked to chronic kidney disease.
