DESCRIPTION:Special seminar by Thavy Long\, PhD\, Institut National de Rech
 erche Agronomique\, INTHERES-UMR1436\, Toulouse\, France\n\nHormones contr
 ol diverse processes in the physiology of metazoan organisms. Many of them
  exercise their function via nuclear receptors\, which function as transcr
 iption factors that regulate the expression of numerous genes. In Caenorha
 bditis elegans\, dafachronic acids (DAs) influence fundamental signaling p
 athways involved in development\, reproduction and lifespan. However\, the
  physiological significance of these hormones in parasitic helminths such 
 as filarial nematodes and particularly trematodes is relatively rudimentar
 y. In Dirofilaria immitis Long found that DAs activate the nuclear recepto
 r DAF-12 and have investigated their potential to regulate the parasite de
 velopment. Her work furthers our understanding of the developmental decisi
 ons in filarial nematodes and provide new insights to interrupt their life
  cycle.\n\n \n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\nThavy Long received her Master’s degr
 ee in Genetic and Microbiology and PhD in Parasitology and Cellular Biolog
 y from the University of Lille\, in France. She did postdoctoral work at b
 oth University of California San Francisco and San Diego. She was named a 
 Prestige Marie Curie Fellowship (2016). Her research focuses on the basic 
 biology of parasitic flatworms and filarial nematodes with a particular in
 terest on hormonal signaling pathways that influence the developmental pla
 sticity of these parasites.\n\nEveryone is welcome to attend.\n
