CBE Seminar: “Deep Learning-Enabled Design of Functional DNA-Binding Properties” (Cameron Glasscock, University of Washington)
Abstract DNA-binding proteins (DBPs) play critical roles in biology and biotechnology, and there has been considerable interest in the engineering of DBPs with new functions or altered specificities. While there […]
CBE Seminar: “Minimally Invasive Neuroelectronics” (Anqi Zhang, Stanford)
Abstract Neuroelectronic interfaces have enabled significant advances in both fundamental neuroscience research and the treatment of neurological disorders. However, current neuroelectronic devices have a clear trade-off between invasiveness and spatial […]
CBE Seminar: “Systems Engineering for Addressing Critical Challenges in Viral Vector Manufacturing” (Francesco Destro, MIT)
Abstract The demand for viral vectors is poised to soon exceed current production capacities, driven by the surging number of clinical trials for gene and cell therapies. Unfortunately, current manufacturing […]
CBE Seminar: “Molecular Microscopy with Single Cell Transcriptomic Data Resolves RNA Liquid Biopsies” (Sevahn Vorperian, Stanford)
Abstract Invasive biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing several diseases; however, these procedures offer a limited, localized view of the disease pathology to the physician and are not risk-free […]
CBE Seminar: “Optimal Control as a catalyst for Smart and Sustainable Systems” (Benjamin Decardi-Nelson, Cornell)
Abstract: In modern engineering, sustainability is a crucial aspect, especially in chemical and biological process systems. This concept has evolved to encompass a holistic approach, emphasizing not only the use […]
CBE Seminar: “Bioinspired Protein-Based Cancer Immunotherapy” (Yanpu He, MIT)
Abstract: Immunotherapy has revolutionized the field of cancer treatment over the past two decades, though only a small fraction of patients treated will achieve complete remission. As such, new paradigms […]
ESE Grace Hopper Lecture – “Disrupting NextG”
As 5G takes to the airwaves, we now turn our imagination to the next generation of wireless technology. The promise of this technology has created an international race to innovate, […]
CBE Doctoral Dissertation: “From Nanoplates to Bottlebrushes: Engineering Thermodynamics in Polymer Nanocomposites” (Christian Tabedzki)
Abstract: Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) represent a diverse class of materials where manipulating design parameters is crucial for tailoring material properties. Of utmost importance for nanocomposites is nanoparticle dispersion, which is […]
CBE Doctoral Dissertation: “A Multiscale Computational Framework for Simulating Thrombus Growth Under Flow” (Kaushik Shankar)
Abstract: Modeling thrombus growth in pathological flows allows evaluation of risk under patient-specific pharmacological, hematological, and hemodynamical conditions. To this end, we have developed a 3D multiscale framework for the […]
CBE Doctoral Dissertation: “Understanding and Controlling Polymer-Porous Solid Interactions for Catalytic Recycling of Polymers” (Tian Ren)
Abstract: Understanding and controlling polymer-solid interactions is critical for optimizing the catalytic processes involved in polymer upcycling. In this Ph.D. thesis, I explored the intricacies of polymer behavior in nanoporous […]
