CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | “3D-stiffness Microenvironment Leads to Nuclear Envelope Rupture, DNA Damage, and Genome Variation”

Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract:  "Solid tumor cells grow in a stiff microenvironment with dense extracellular matrix (ECM) and condensed packing of adjacent cells. Tumor cells are capable of migrating through constricted pores formed by ECM or surrounded by other cells, and the nuclear envelope can break with repair factor mislocalization, further leading to DNA damage and genetic changes, […]

CIS 189 Guest Lecture: “Optimization in Practice”

Towne 307 220 S. 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: Discrete optimization plays a critical role in solving various resource allocation problems within the industry. In this talk, we study problems from the two extremes of the optimization landscape; operational decision-making in real-time and resource provisioning for future considerations. Motivated by real-world business requirements ranging from load balancing in heterogeneous environments to privacy concerns […]
