Virtual Joint Seminar: Open Source Multicellular Systems Modeling for Cancer (and COVID-19)

Virtual Joint Seminar of Penn PSOC, Bioengineering, PICS For Zoom details, email gormley@seas.upenn.edu Cancer and other critical human health problems are inherently multiscale: molecular-scale processes such as receptor trafficking and metabolism drive cell-scale processes such as cycling and motility. Biophysical processes like diffusion and tissue mechanics both constrain and drive single-cell behavior. Moreover, cells communicate […]

PICS Alumni Spotlight: Kurt Fredrickson

PICS will be hosting a virtual seminar featuring an alumni of the Vojvodic lab. Kurt Frederickson, PhD, will speak about his education and working in both academia and the private sector. After his talk Kurt will be available to answer any questions students may have. Email Katie Thompson (kathom at seas.upenn.edu) for the zoom details.

PICS Student Seminar: Anna Neuman and Chris Price

On  Wednesday, July 15 at 12:00 PICS will host a virtual student seminar. This is the first seminar in a series giving students the opportunity to talk to each other about their research and research methods. These virtual seminars will be about an hour long with two students giving a short presentation followed by a discussion. […]

MEAM Seminar: “U.S. Army Additive Manufacturing Materials and Technologies”

Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

With the constantly changing threat environment, the Army needs to be able to quickly adapt their tactics and equipment. But burdensome and lengthy acquisition cycles make this challenging. Additive manufacturing can potentially be utilized to overcome many of the challenges and enables on-demand manufacturing of repair parts, as well as rapid prototyping. Through topology optimization, […]

ESE Seminar: “Skin Interfaced Wearable Sweat Biosensors”

Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

Abstract: The rising research interest in personalized medicine promises to revolutionize traditional medical practices. This presents a tremendous opportunity for developing wearable devices toward predictive analytics and treatment. In this talk, I will introduce our recent advances in developing fully-integrated skin-interfaced flexible biosensors for non-invasive molecular analysis. Such wearable biosensors can continuously, selectively, and accurately […]

BE Seminar: “Stem Cell Fate is a Touchy Subject” (Quinton Smith)

This event will be held on zoom - check email for link and passcode. Contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu with any questions. The success of regenerative cell therapy relies on the integration of a functional vascular system within the redeveloping tissue, to mediate the exchange of oxygen, nutrients and waste.  Although the advent of human induced pluripotent stem […]

MEAM Seminar: “Tackling Energy Sector Challenges with Interdisciplinary Research and Education Initiatives”

Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

Tackling the energy sector’s pressing technological and workforce needs requires a multi-pronged approach. This talk will include a discussion of both technical research and educational approaches to address these needs. The educational initiatives include implementation of the Energy Fellows Program, a training and professional development program, as well as research on the varying perceptions of […]

ESE Seminar: “Electrical Digestive Engineering”

Zoom - Email ESE for Link jbatter@seas.upenn.edu

Gastrointestinal (GI) problems are the second leading cause for missing work or school after the common cold, giving rise to 10 percent of the reasons a patient visits their physician and costing $142 billion annually.  Although obstructions and infections are easy to diagnose, more than half of GI disorders involve abnormal functioning of the GI […]

MEAM Seminar: “Robots and Mechatronic Systems can help us identify, assess, and treat Motor and Cognitive Impairment after Brain Injury”

Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) indicate that in 2017 about 12.7% of adults and children had some form of disability. Stroke is the leading cause of serious long-term disability with ~7 million in the US, which will increase by 20.5% by 2030. Cerebral Palsy is the leading cause of serious long-term disability in […]
