BE Master’s Student Focus Group

Attention BE Master's Students! We want your thoughts on the job search! Sign up for this upcoming focus group to give us your opinion on industries of interest, employers & recruiting events. Register now: http://tinyurl.com/bdzz8cna. Contact Lauren Kemp with any questions: laurem@seas.upenn.edu

CNT/PHT Seminar: “The Future of Brain Interfacing” (Philip Sabes, Neuralink, UCSF)

Rubenstein Audtorium, Smilow Center for Translational Research

"The Future of Brain Interfacing" Brain interfacing holds immense promise, both for restoring lost sensory, motor or cognitive function and for the treatment of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. The promise is driving a great deal of interest in brain interfacing technologies -- from researchers, industry, investors, and the public -- yet the clinical impact of […]

BE Seminar: “Building Tissues: Engineering Complexity Through Biomaterial Design” (Brendan Harley, University of Illinois)

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

Advances in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine require biomaterials that instruct, rather than simply permit, a desired cellular response. A major challenge to progress in our field is the complex organization of the tissues in our bodies, which are hierarchical, vary in space and time, and can differ person-to person. Prof. Harley’s […]

BE Seminar: “Vein-to-Vein Microfluidic Engineering for Cell Therapies” (Abe Lee, UC Irvine)

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

Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) is a type of immunotherapy that involves the processing of blood from a donor to isolate immune cells (e.g. T cells) for genetic manipulation followed by reinfusion of the cells into patients. Specifically for CAR T cell therapy, genetic coding material (e.g. DNA, mRNA) is inserted into the T cells to […]

MEAM Seminar: “Multiscale Mechano-Medicine: from Mechanobiology to Tissue-Interfacing Stimulating Medical Devices”

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

Many human health problems are associated with alteration of tissue mechanics and often require mechanical stimulation to promote the healing process. While it is now well established that the mechanics of the cellular microenvironment regulate various biological processes, most studies have focused only on the effect of stiffness, leaving other mechanical parameters such as viscoelasticity […]

BE Doctoral dissertation Defense: “Understanding the Cellular and Gene-regulatory Mechanisms Underlying the Mesenchymal Transition of Ependymoma Tumor Cells Using Omics Data” (Rachael Aubin)

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

The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Pablo Camara  are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Rachael Aubin. Title: UNDERSTANDING THE CELLULAR AND GENE-REGULATORY MECHANISMS UNDERLYING THE MESENCHYMAL TRANSITION OF EPENDYMOMA TUMOR CELLS USING OMICS DATA Date: Wednesday, March 29 Time: 9:30am Location: Reunion Auditorium, John Morgan Building Zoom link: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/97229075338 The public […]
