Christian R Landry
Université Laval, Canada
Christian Landry received a BSc and a MSc in Biology from Université Laval and a PhD from Harvard University. His postdoc was in Biochemistry at Université de Montréal. He was then recruited as a New Investigator of the Canadian Institute of Health Research at Université Laval. He now holds the Canada Research Chair in Cellular Systems and Synthetic Biology. His research interests are in understanding how genetic variation and the organization of cellular systems interact to shape the ways evolution proceeds.

Aleksandra Walczak
Ecole Normale Superieure, France
Aleksandra Walczak received her PhD in physics at UCSD working on models of stochastic gene expression. After a graduate fellowship at KITP, she was a Princeton Center for Theoretical Science Fellow, focusing on applying information theory to signal processing in small gene regulatory networks. Currently she is a CNRS researcher at the Ecole Normale Superieure in Paris, interested in a variety of problems in the physics of living systems.
She actively works on development, collective behavior of bird flocks and statistical descriptions of the immune system.
