You are warmly invited to attend the MS Defense Seminar of Chloe Butler, a Master’s candidate in the Department of Biology at Colorado State University. Chloe will be presenting her thesis research titled: “Local Adaptation to High Altitudes Modifies the Immune Response in Deer Mice”

📅 Date: Friday, May 23, 2025
Time: 9:00 – 10:00 AM MST
📍 Location: Biology 133, Colorado State University
💻 Virtual Option (Microsoft Teams): bit.ly/457CM3a
🔑 Meeting ID: 289 460 712 217 5 | Passcode: SQ2wd2KJ

Chloe’s research examines the intersection of environmental adaptation and immunology by exploring how deer mice from high-altitude populations exhibit distinct immune responses compared to their low-altitude counterparts. This work contributes valuable insights into evolutionary physiology and the complex relationship between ecological context and immune function.

She is advised by Dr. Kathryn Wilsterman, with committee members Dr. Lisa Angeloni and Dr. Georgia Titcomb.

We hope you will join us to support Chloe and engage with her fascinating work on adaptation and immune ecology.
