Nano Seminar: “Conductive Nitrides for Plasmonics in the Visible Region: Properties and Applications”

Room 35, Singh Center for Nanotechnology 3205 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Plasmonic nanostructure based on silver and gold that produces LSPR to withstand ultrahigh temperatures without damage remains a great challenge for future ultra-compact integrated circuits, and high-power enabled photonic devices. In principle, the shapes of plasmonic nanostructures containing noble metals would change after the heat treatment that altered the plasmonic resonance. Thus, discovering refractory plasmonic […]

BE Seminar: “Engineering the immune response at the molecular level” (Jamie Spangler, Johns Hopkins U.)

216 Moore Building

The repertoire of naturally occurring proteins is finite and many molecules induce multiple confounding effects, limiting their efficacy as therapeutics. Recently, there has been a growing interest in redesigning existing proteins or engineering entirely new proteins to address the deficiencies of molecules found in nature. Researchers have traditionally taken an unbiased approach to protein engineering, […]

BE Doctoral Dissertation: “Batch effect detection and harmonization methods for quantitative features extracted from medical images” (Hannah Horng)

Class of 62 Auditorium, John Morgan Building 3620 Hamilton Walk, Philadelphia, PA

The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania along with Drs. Despina Kontos and Taki Shinohara proudly announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Hannah Horng.   Title: Batch effect detection and harmonization methods for quantitative features extracted from medical images Date: September 15, 2023 Time: 10:30am Location: John Morgan Building - Class of '62 Auditorium.   Zoom […]

MEAM Seminar: “Insect Respiratory Biomechanics and Insect-inspired Microfluidics”

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

Insect respiration is characterized by the rapid transport of respiratory gases within the organism and efficient exchange with the external environment. This unique system is comprised of a network of tracheal tubes that directly supply oxygen to the cells throughout the body, eliminating the need for blood as an intermediate oxygen carrier. The remarkable diversity […]

BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Pooled tagging of endogenous proteins for exploration of the human proteome driven by prime editing”

Colket Translational Research Building (Room 4040)

The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Ophir Shalem are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Henry Sanchez.   Title: Pooled tagging of endogenous proteins for exploration of the human proteome driven by prime editing Date: September 21, 2023 Time: 3:00pm Location: Colket Translational Research Building (Room 4040) The public is welcome to attend.

BE Seminar: “Engineering the cell-matrix interface – understanding and guiding cell function” (Claudia Loebel, University of Michigan)

216 Moore Building

The native extracellular microenvironment dynamically remodels as cells synthesize, assemble, and remodel their surroundings during tissue development, injury, and repair. In my research group, we use engineered systems to both probe mechanisms of cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions (e.g., mechanobiology) and to guide cell function towards therapeutic behaviors (e.g., tissue repair/regeneration). In this seminar, I will […]
