MSE Seminar: “From Conducting Polymers to Conducting Molecular Search A Materials Science Pathway to the Perkin Medal”

Auditorium, LRSM Building 3231 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

The Perkin Medal that Dr. Frommer is receiving in September cites her lifetime scientific accomplishments in electronically conducting polymers and atomic force microscopy. The reality is these are but two points on a continuum of using chemistry to reveal the molecular underpinnings of material properties. This talk will take a path through studies to explore […]

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 […]

CEMB: Academic Job Search During the Pandemic

https://upenn.zoom.us/j/96715197752

The Center for Engineering Mechanobiology Trainee Leadership Council (TLC) presents a professional development event for graduate students and postdocs considering an academic career. We will talk with three UPenn alumni who have successfully navigated the academic job search during the pandemic. Hear what the search process was like and learn tips for your own search.

PICS Colloquium: “Protein dynamics and energy landscape engineering”

Zoom - email kathom@seas.upenn.edu

Abstract: Experiments only reveal a few of a protein’s structures with the atomic detail required to rationally engineer mutations and drugs. However, a protein actually has a vast landscape of uncharted conformations that present untapped opportunities for manipulating its function. My lab is developing simulation methods, called Markov state models (MSMs), that provide unprecedented access […]

Treeswift makes complex forests easier to manage using robotics and artificial intelligence. This […]

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 […]
