BE Seminar: “Regenerative Engineering: Enabling Regenerative Medicine” (Guillermo Ameer)

Moore 216 200 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

This seminar will be held live and broadcast via zoom - check your email for link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. Regenerative engineering is the convergence of advances in materials science, physical sciences, stem cell and developmental biology, and translational medicine to develop tools that enable the regeneration and reconstruction of tissue and organ function. I will […]

Fall 2021 GRASP Seminar: GRASP Research Overview – Day 1

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

GRASP Lab Faculty confirmed presentations (where appropriate their presenters)… Mark Yim – Welcome & Introduction Pratik Chaudhari Kostas Daniilidis (presented by Kenneth Chaney) Eric Eaton Dinesh Jayaraman Dr. Vijay Kumar (presented by Steven Chen) Marc Miskin Michael Posa (presented by Matt Halm) CJ Taylor

PSOC@Penn Seminar: “Harnessing Biochemistry and Engineering to Visualize Metabolism” (Kayvan R. Keshari)

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Oncogenic transformation has been shown to have a dramatic impact on the metabolic state of the cell. Recent reports have demonstrated that specific alterations in oncogenes and signaling pathways results in increases in pathway flux as well as diversion of substrates. Moreover, there is an argument that changes in metabolism can directly affect cell fate […]

CBE Joint Seminar: “Harnessing Biochemistry and Engineering to Visualize Metabolism”

MEAM Seminar: “Active Colloids in Nematics for Micro-robotics and Reconfigurable Systems”

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

Active colloids in nematic liquid crystals are exciting vehicles for materials manipulation. Colloid shape, surface chemistry and dynamic displacement can be designed to introduce defects whose non-linear dynamics generate new modalities of motion and interaction. These effects rely on energy conversion mechanisms, in which active colloids with tailored surface functionalization and shape seed defects and […]

CBE Seminar: “Engineering the Crystallization of Water Using Molecular and Biomolecular Agents”

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract The crystallization of water affects various processes, both globally and in our daily lives. Ice crystals cause freezing and death when they grow in the extracellular fluids of organisms living in sub-freezing conditions. Similarly, the formation of gas hydrates in flowlines transporting gas/oil causing safety and economic risks, and the release of methane from […]

BE Seminar: “Material Design for Lymph Node Drug Delivery and Immunomodulation” (Susan Thomas)

Moore 216 200 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

This event will be held live and broadcast on zoom - link coming soon. Lymph nodes mediate the co-mingling of cells of the adaptive system to coordinate adaptive immune response. Drug delivery principles and technologies our group has developed to leverage the potential of lymph nodes as immunotherapeutic drug targets to augment anti-cancer therapeutic effects […]

Penn Electric Racing and the Future of EV Engineering

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Penn Electric Racing is Penn's award winning Formula SAE electric racing team. Every year, we design and manufacture an electric racecar and compete against schools from across the country. This experience gives our students invaluable skills, allowing us to jumpstart careers in the EV industry. In this event, we will discuss the role of EV's […]
