Meet a National Geographic Emerging Explorer and "Computational
Geneticist" Pardis Sabeti. Her mission is to combat infectious
disease, using Complex algorithms.
This lecture presentation is an amazing example about some of the previously unknowable
which can only be understood through the knowledge and application of
applied mathematics.
Do you have any idea what math can do?
Fight emerging diseases, analyze millions of genomes, discover and analyze the archeological record hidden in your DNA,
determine how old genetic traits are, and determine how long diseases have been circulating throughout history?! ~MW
