CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Bridging Transcription and Signaling to Study c-MYC Function and Regulation in Cancer Cells” (Reshma Kalyan Sundaram)
Abstract: The transcription factor c-MYC (MYC) is a master regulator of gene expression and is frequently deregulated in human cancers. Despite the prevalent role of MYC in cancers, no MYC […]
MSE Seminar: “Engineered Biomaterials for Regeneration, Therapy, and Beyond” Akhilesh K Gaharwar, Texas A&M University
Engineered biomaterials have emerged as powerful tools for a range of biomedical applications, including regenerative medicine, drug delivery, and additive manufacturing. These engineered biomaterials possess tunable biophysical properties, specific biochemical […]
BE-Grace Hopper Distinguished Lecture: Melody Swartz, PhD “Immunoregulatory roles of lymphatic vessels in cancer and opportunities for immunoengineering”
Tumor lymphangiogenesis, which involves both the activation and growth induction of surrounding lymphatic vessels, is well-known to correlate with tumor progression and metastasis in many solid tumors. While it is […]
BE Seminar: “From Bench to Pet-Side: Intratumoral Immunotherapy Principles and Practice” (Noor Momin)
Immunotherapies harness the body’s immune system to fight disease. Such therapies can help unleash an immune attack against diseased tissues but can inadvertently instigate an attack on healthy tissues. As […]
BE Seminar: “Visualizing the Unseen: Enabling Precision Oncology Through Microenvironment-Triggered Diagnostics and Therapeutics” (Liangliang Hao)
The successful integration of precision diagnostics with new personalized therapies opens numerous doors to improve the management of a variety of diseases. In cancer, tissue-environmental features of tumor progression and […]
BE Seminar: “Orchestrating Cellular Regeneration at Organ Scale” (Yvon Woappi)
Large scale tissue damage, such as organ failure and burn injury, is a leading cause of morbidity and death. However, the mechanisms underlying full regeneration of organs remain poorly understood. […]
