  • Bridging Genome Structure and Function: Linking Chromosome Architecture, Chromatin Modifications, and Gene Expression

    French Family Science Center 4233

    The Jill Dowen laboratory investigates how cohesin-mediated genome architecture integrates with chromatin regulators to control genome structure and gene expression. We focus on how cohesin-dependent DNA loops, histone modifications, and chromatin associated proteins cooperate to regulate enhancer-promoter communication and transcription. Using biochemical, genomic, and proteomic approaches, we define molecular mechanisms of genome regulation in normal […]

  • “Genome Editing the Future: Transforming Human and Planet Health with CRISPR”

    Penn Pavilion

    Dr. Jennifer A. Doudna is the Li Ka Shing Chancellor's Chair and a Professor in the Departments of Chemistry and of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. Her groundbreaking development of CRISPR-Cas9 as a genome-engineering technology, with collaborator Emmanuelle Charpentier, earned the two the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and forever […]

  • 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 […]

  • Duke BME Culture & Belonging Town Hall

    BME faculty, staff, and students are invited to join the BME Culture & Belonging Committee for our annual Town Hall to learn more about what the committee has been doing this year and participate in a discussion about how to improve BME culture. Tuesday, April 14 12-1pm Bolton Family Tower Room *3rd floor of Brodhead

  • 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 […]

  • A New Era of Microvascular Imaging With Super-Resolution Ultrasound Imaging

    Speaker Bio: Pengfei Song, PhD is an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Duke University. He was previously an Associate Professor and Y.T. Lo Faculty Fellow at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Song conducted both his PhD and postdoctoral training under the supervision of Drs. James […]
