BE Seminar: “Systems-level Analyses of the Human Gut Microbiome” (Ilana Lauren Brito)
This seminar will be held live and broadcast on zoom – check your email for the link or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu. A major question regarding the human gut microbiota is: by what mechanisms do our most intimately associated organisms affect human health? In this talk, I will present several systems-level approaches that we have developed to address this fundamental question. My lab has pioneered methods that leverage protein-protein interactions to implicate bacterial proteins in human pathways linked to disease, revealing for…

BE Seminar: “Tissue-Inspired Synthetic Biomaterials” (Shelly Peyton)
This seminar will be held live and broadcast on zoom - link coming soon. Improved experimental model systems are critically needed to better understand cancer progression and bridge the gap between lab bench proof-of-concept studies, validation in animal models, and eventual clinical application. Many methods exist to create biomaterials, including hydrogels, which we use to study cells in contexts more akin to what they experience in the human body. Our lab has multiple approaches to create such biomaterials, based on…
