BE Seminar: “Tissue Architecture Driven by Immune Cells” (John Hickey, Stanford University)

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

"Tissue Architecture Driven by Immune Cells" John has developed multiplexed spatial omics techniques and computational tools to decode critical interactions within the multidimensional data (e.g., multiscale models and deep learning algorithms). He applied these tools to understand spatial relationships of cells within the healthy human intestine, inflammation induced cancers (esophageal cancer), and in T cell […]

CBE/BE Seminar: “Targeting Sugars for Immunotherapy in Cancer and Beyond” (Jessica Stark, Stanford)

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

Co-hosted by the Departments of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering & Bioengineering. New paradigms to harness the immune system are urgently needed to address unmet needs in human health. I am working to understand and engineer glycoimmunology – the roles of sugars, or glycans, in the immune system – to bridge this gap. During my PhD, […]

PENN GENETICS SPECIAL SEMINAR | David Sanders, PhD “A network-based blueprint for understanding condensates in health and disease” David W Sanders, PhD Postdoctoral Fellow Chemical and Biological Engineering Princeton University Zoom Link Contact Info: For more information, please contact Sadie Robinson at sarahjr@upenn.edu This is a joint seminar between the Departments of Genetics and Bioengineering

BE Seminar: “Probing Metabolism Across Scales” (Yihui Shen, Princeton University)

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

Metabolism supports the biosynthetic and energetic demand of all living creatures. Over decades, we have accumulated knowledge of how individual enzymes work in vitro, but we don’t have a good sense about how they work together in vivo. Thus, fundamental to our understanding of metabolic operation is the ability to measure metabolic activity in vivo. […]

BE Seminar: “Programming multicellular interactions and organization using synthetic cell adhesion molecules” (Adam Stevens, UCSF)

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

Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are ubiquitous in multicellular organisms and specify precise cellular interactions in processes as diverse as tissue development and immune cell trafficking. We have generated an array of synthetic CAMs by combining orthogonal extracellular interactions with native intracellular domains. Diverse homotypic or heterotypic extracellular binding domains specify the connectivity between cells, while […]

Joseph Bordogna Forum: Dr. Gary May, Chancellor of UC-Davis

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

Please save the date to join us for this annual distinguished lecture.  The Joseph Bordogna Forum will foster conversation and debate regarding important issues at the nexus of technology and society. It will feature lectures and panel discussions on a wide range of contemporary issues that are central to engineering including diversity and inclusion, the […]
