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 […]
CBE Seminar: “Design of Solid-state Nanomaterials for Electrocatalysis: A Case Study of Oxygen Evolution Reaction Electrocatalysts” (Yang, UIUC)
High-level control of atomic and surface structures is a hallmark of the application of nanomaterials in a range of electrochemical and electrocatalytic devices, such as water electrolyzer. They play critical […]
PICS Colloquium: “The Virtual Pregnancy: Using Computational Models to Probe Human Reproduction”
Preterm birth affects approximately ten percent of pregnancies and rates of maternal mortality in the US are rising. Computational investigations of pregnancy have great potential to explore fundamental aspects […]
CBE Seminar: “Revolutionizing Bioimaging to Elevate Human Health”
Holistic imaging of diverse functional, anatomical, and molecular architecture that span multiple levels, from cells to an entire system, remains a major challenge in biology. In this talk, I will […]
CBE Seminar: “Facile Synthesis of Polymeric Nanomaterials via Chemical Vapor Deposition Techniques” (Yang, Cornell)
Polymer is often considered one of the most prevalent materials in the modern age. While it has been predominantly synthesized in solution and processed into a variety of macroscopic sizes […]
CBE Seminar: “Energetic Constraints on Biological Assembly and Motion” (Murrell, Yale)
On small length-scales, the mechanics of soft materials may be dominated by their interfacial properties as opposed to their bulk properties. These effects are described by equilibrium models of elasto-capillarity […]
CBE Seminar: “Fabrication and Long-term Reliability of High Efficiency Monocrystalline Silicon Solar Cells” (Agarwal, Colorado School of Mines)
Global energy demand will continue to increase, and the ability of fossil fuels to meet these demands is limited due to the associated climate change concerns. In response to these […]
CBE Seminar: Britton Chance Distinguished Lecture, “A Language Whose Characters are Triangles” (Phillips, California Institute of Technology)
One of the most intriguing outcomes of casting our thinking about the world around us in mathematical terms is that phenomena that were thought to be quite distinct are instead […]
