BE Seminar: “Developments in Stem Cell-Derived Islets for Diabetes Cell Replacement Theory” (Jeffrey R. Millman, Washington University School of Medicine)

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

This is a hybrid seminar which will be held in Glandt Forum (Singh Center) and via Zoom (link coming soon). "Developments in Stem Cell-Derived Islets for Diabetes Cell Replacement Theory" Cellular and tissue engineering promises new therapeutic options for people suffering from a wide range of diseases. Differentiation of stem cells is a powerful renewable […]

BE Seminar: “Cellular and Acellular Strategies for Heart and Lung Repair” (Ke Cheng, UNC/NCSU)

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

This is a hybrid seminar: Check email for the zoom link and passcode. "Cellular and Acellular Strategies for Heart and Lung Repair" Therapeutic tissue regeneration using stem cells has been hampered by the controversial identity of resident stem cells, low cell retention/engraftment, tumorigenecity and immunogenicity issues. Taking a bioengineering/biomaterials approach, this lecture will introduce the uses of drug delivery and biomaterials […]

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, […]

BE/Genetics Seminar: “A network-based blueprint for understanding condensates in health and disease” (David W. Sanders, Princeton University)

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

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. […]

ASSET Seminar: Statistical and Machine Learning for Electronic Health Records: Challenges and Opportunities, Qi Long (University of Pennsylvania)

Levine 307 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

ABSTRACT: Electronic health records (EHRs) offer great promises in advancing clinical research and transforming learning health systems. However, complex, temporal EHRs are fraught with biases and present daunting analytical challenges that, if not addressed, can exacerbate health inequities. EHRs data, recorded at irregular time intervals with varying frequencies, are multi-modal and multi-scale including structured data […]

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 […]
