On  Wednesday, July 15 at 12:00 PICS will host a virtual student seminar. This is the first seminar in a series giving students the opportunity to talk to each other about […]

PICS Alumni Spotlight: Kurt Fredrickson

PICS will be hosting a virtual seminar featuring an alumni of the Vojvodic lab. Kurt Frederickson, PhD, will speak about his education and working in both academia and the private […]

Virtual Joint Seminar: Open Source Multicellular Systems Modeling for Cancer (and COVID-19)

Virtual Joint Seminar of Penn PSOC, Bioengineering, PICS For Zoom details, email gormley@seas.upenn.edu Cancer and other critical human health problems are inherently multiscale: molecular-scale processes such as receptor trafficking and […]

MEAM Seminar: “Scalable Algorithms for the Computational Modeling of Complex Multi-Physics Systems”

The computational modeling of complex multi-physics problems often requires specialized approaches in the formulation, implementation, and deployment of algorithms that lie outside the scope of conventional practice in physics-based modeling […]

MEAM Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Applications of a Double-stranded Elastic Rod Model to DNA”

In the first part of the presentation, we discuss a double-stranded elastic rod (birod) model and apply it to study allosteric interactions between two ligands on DNA. Next, we combine […]

PICS Seminar with Sam Schoenholz of Google Brain

PICS Seminar – Dr. Cesar de la Fuente of the University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine

Abstract: Until now, the natural world has supplied us with antibiotics. Bacteria, however, are increasingly resistant to these drugs. The next generation of antibiotics will likely come not from nature […]

PICS Seminar – Dr. Yoichiro Mori of the University of Pennsylvania & the University of Minnesota

Abstract: Mathematical Justification of Slender Body Theory Systems in which thin filaments interact with the surrounding fluid abound in science and engineering. The computational and analytical difficulties associated with treating […]
