  • BME Distinguished Seminar Series – Rita Strack

    Wilkinson 021

    Rita Strack obtained her Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Chicago. While there, she worked with Benjamin Glick and Robert Keenan to engineer improved variants of the red fluorescent protein DsRed, and also studied the chemical mechanism of chromophore formation in DsRed. She continued her research as a postdoctoral fellow in […]

  • Advancing Evolutionary Inference with Machine Learning and Population Genetic Simulation

    French Family Science Center 4233

    Since its inception the Schrider Lab has worked to adapt powerful machine learning methods to all manner of questions in evolutionary inference, but with a particular focus on detecting the population genetic signatures of adaptation. More recently, we have branched out to using population genetic simulations to study topics as diverse as the optimization of […]

  • DMI/MEMS Seminar Presented by Prof. Ivan A. Moreno-Hernandez

    Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side A, room 1464

    Abstract: Electrocatalysis has the potential to enable sustainable chemical infrastructures via the generation of commodity chemicals such as hydrogen, hydrocarbons, and ammonia with renewable energy, but electrochemical devices such as electrolyzers often exhibit inadequate activity and stability for these transformations due to poor catalyst performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The Moreno-Hernandez Laboratory specializes […]

  • From Vascular Motion to Medical Device Innovation, and a Few Tips for Entrepreneurs

    Registration Required Abstract: The human body is a dynamic environment, yet we often study it in a static state. For example, nearly all medical imaging is done with patients lying immobile on their backs. However, blood vessels experience pulsatile forces from heart beats, displacements from breathing, and deformations from musculoskeletal motion. This talk will focus […]

  • BME Distinguished Seminar Series with Dr. Claudia Fischbach-Tesch

    Wilkinson 021

    ECM Biophysics and Cancer: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapeutic Insights Microenvironmental changes contribute to the pathogenesis of cancer, but our understanding of how altered cell heterogeneity, extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, and mechanical cues impact the development, progression, and therapy response of cancer is relatively limited. More intricate models are needed to elucidate the complex biochemical and […]
