BE Seminar: “Repurposing bacterial two-component systems as sensors for synthetic biology applications “
Two-component systems (TCSs) are the largest family of signal transduction pathways in biology, and a treasure trove of biosensors for engineering applications. Though present in plants and other eukaryotes, TCSs […]
BE Seminar: “Engineering Stem Cells to Create Novel Delivery Vehicles”
Synthetic biology has transformed how cells can be reprogrammed, providing a means to reliably and predictably control cell behavior with the assembly of genetic parts into more complex gene circuits. […]
BE Seminar: “Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering”
MEAM Seminar: “Cell Polarization and Growth”
Polarization is an essential behavior of living cells, yet the dynamics of this symmetry-breaking process are not fully understood. We have developed a spatial stochastic model of cellular polarization during […]
BE Seminar: “Immunomodulatory Biomaterials for Limb Salvage”
Diabetes and peripheral arterial disease affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Patients with these conditions frequently develop chronic wounds on the lower limbs that lead to amputation, with a […]
BE Seminar: “High-throughput T cell repertoire profiling enabled systems immunology and immune engineering”
T cells are important to the initiation, prevention, and cure of many diseases. For example, various T cells based cancer immunotherapies have been quite effective in treating several types of […]
BE Seminar: “Nanofluidic Technologies for Biomolecule Manipulation”
In the last 20 years, microfabrication techniques have allowed researchers to miniaturize tools for a plethora of bioanalytical applications. In addition to better sensitivity, accuracy and precision, scaling down the […]
