BE Seminar: “Designing Programmable Protein Therapeutics with Generative Language Models” (Pranam Chatterjee, Duke University)

216 Moore Building

CRISPR has revolutionized biotechnology by enabling the simple design of guide RNAs to target and edit almost any DNA sequence. By developing new generative protein design algorithms, my hybrid lab focuses on extending this CRISPR-like programmability to proteins and other key molecules. In this talk, we will first delve into our algorithms that design binders […]

MEAM Seminar: “Elasticity of Fluids in Nanopores: Molecular Modeling and Ultrasonic Experiments”

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

Fluids confined in nanopores are ubiquitous in nature and technology. In recent years, the interest in confined fluids has grown, driven by research on unconventional hydrocarbon resources -- shale gas and shale oil, much of which are confined in nanopores. When fluids are confined in nanopores, many of their properties differ from those of the […]

Biomedical Data Science Seminar Series – “Unlocking Brain Insights: Machine Learning for Neuroimaging Studies”

Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Modern neurotechnologies generate vast and intricate imaging data across multiple modalities, capturing nuanced aspects of brain structure and function in both healthy and diseased states, thus propelling neuroimaging into the 'big data' era. The quantitative analysis of such extensive neuroimaging datasets presents unprecedented opportunities for uncovering novel insights into various neuroscience problems. Machine learning and […]

ASSET Seminar: “Machine Learning and Brain Imaging: Contributions to Diagnostics, Prognostication, and Treatment Guidance”

Raisler Lounge (Room 225), Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: Neuroimaging has significantly expanded our understanding of brain changes in neuropsychiatric disorders as well as in aging and neurodegenerative diseases. However, it wasn’t until the advent of machine learning tools that imaging signatures that can be detected in individuals, rather than groups, were constructed. More importantly, imaging signatures derived via machine learning models have […]

BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Quantitative Intracranial EEG Methods for Targeted Therapy in Drug-resistant Epilepsy” (Akash Pattnaik)

Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Brian Litt proudly announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Akash Pattnaik.   Title: Quantitative Intracranial EEG Methods for Targeted Therapy in Drug-resistant Epilepsy Date: Wednesday September 11 Time: 1:30pm Location: Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology Advisor: Dr. Brian Litt Zoom option: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/93665199428?pwd=kSjDphv31aMk1pfwb2Jp8BZCQetxfY.1 The public […]

GRASP Seminar: Shlomi Laufer, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, “Enhancing Surgical Skill Assessment Through Computer Vision”

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

*This seminar will be held in-person in Levine 307 as well as virtually via Zoom.  ABSTRACT Medical education traditionally employs the apprenticeship model, where trainees learn directly under the supervision of experienced practitioners. This model necessitates close follow-up and typically provides extremely subjective and non- standardized feedback. Over the years, efforts to introduce more objective […]

MSE Seminar: “Sustainability Efforts at Dow: Vision, Strategy, Case Studies, and Challenges,” Kumar Sanketh, Dow

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

Materials and chemicals impact daily life, as they enable modern healthcare, preservation of food, and delivering performance and efficiency of transportation and infrastructure. The talk will focus on Dow’s vision and path for carbon neutrality. An overview of Dow Chemical’s portfolio and the breadth of chemistries being practiced will be discussed. Dow has a vision […]

CIS Seminar: “Trustworthy Forecasting Algorithms”

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

Algorithms are increasingly tasked with forecasting the probabilities of uncertain events: a creditor repaying a loan, a user clicking an advertisement, or a word appearing next in a stream of text, for example. Such forecasts are trustworthy if their users can be sure they won't regret treating the predicted probabilities as if they were actual […]
