BE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Exploring the cell biology of neurodegenerative diseases at scale” (Saranya Santhosh Kumar)
The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Dr. Ophir Shalem are pleased to announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Saranya Santhosh Kumar. Title: Exploring the cell biology of […]
BE Seminar: “Synthetic and Chemical Biology Routes to Unveiling Host-Pathogen Dialogue” (Aerin Yang, Stanford)
Disease processes within the human body are shaped by the dynamic interplay between invading pathogens and the host’s defense mechanisms. The intricate molecular interaction involves continuous modifications of both host […]
BE Seminar: “Charting the future of RNA and protein sequence-structure exploration” (Kalli Kappel, MIT/Harvard)
RNA and protein sequences dictate their structures, spanning multiple length scales, from molecular conformations to patterns of subcellular localization. In turn, these structures govern biological function. Characterizing sequence-structure relationships is […]
BE Seminar: “Systems Immunology Approaches for Tissue Repair and Regeneration” (Andres Munoz-Rojas, Harvard)
The immune system uses a complex network of interacting cells that work together to regulate tissue physiology, homeostasis, and repair. In muscle, a tightly coordinated network of immunocytes and mesenchymal […]
BE Seminar: “Endothelial cells and the promise of regeneration on demand” (Brisa Palikuqi, UCSF)
In this seminar, I explore the pivotal role of tissue stem cells and their microenvironment, known as the niche, in regeneration. With a focus on the endothelial cell niche, my […]
BE Seminar: “Where Do Therapeutic Antibodies Go?: A First-In-Human Journey” (Guolan Lu, Stanford)
Dr. Lu will introduce a fluorescence molecular imaging method to track therapeutic antibody delivery from cancer patients in vivo, down to single cells, through first-in-human clinical trials. She will present […]
BE Seminar: “Imaging the Brain for Deeper, Finer, and More Diverse Insight” (Fei Xia, Ecole Normale Supérieure)
The brain is a powerful organ that regulates health and drives intelligence. How can we see more clearly into the working brain to understand it better? High-resolution optical microscopy has […]
BE Seminar: “Toward a multi-task, multi-source foundation model to advance large-scale neural data analysis” (Eva Dyer, Georgia Tech)
Neuroscience datasets are expanding rapidly in both size and volume. However, integrating information across diverse datasets to form a unified understanding of brain function remains challenging. In this talk, I […]
