There is a severe shortage of donor organs and tissues which is worsening yearly due to the aging population. Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering apply the principles of cell transplantation, material sciences, and bioengineering to construct biological substitutes that may restore and maintain normal function in diseased and injured tissues. Stem cells may also offer a potentially limitless source of cells. 3D bioprinting is being utilized for potential tissue engineering therapies, and Body-on-a-Chip technologies are being applied for drug discovery and personalized medicine. Applications of these new technologies that may offer novel diagnostics and therapies for patients with tissue injury and organ disease will be described. Recent advances that have occurred in regenerative medicine will be reviewed.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cem\u003EBIO\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nAnthony Atala, MD, is the G.

We map and analyze neuronal epigenomes in three-dimensions using quantitative, genome-wide technologies. We also perturb epigenomes by employing state-of-the art genetic engineering strategies (e.g. CRISPR\/Cas9, optoepigenetics). To test our hypotheses, we primarily use embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cell models of neuronal differentiation and disease. Our long-term goal is to discover how genome architecture controls genome function, applying this to study fundamental mechanisms controlling neuronal phenotype and, by extension, the onset and progression of neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disease states.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBIO\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nJennifer Phillips-Cremins, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor and Deans\u0026#39; Faculty Fellow in Engineering and Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania with primary appointments in the Departments of Bioengineering and Genetics.

However inherent instrument variability coupled with changes in operating conditions or procedures hinder day-to-day and lab-to-lab comparability of data. Moreover, the challenges of developing physically-informed mathematical analyses prevent cytometers from having well-characterized uncertainties, thereby limiting their ability to detect rare events (a task nonetheless suited to their throughput). To address these issues, we have developed an optofluidic system that interlaces advanced fabrication techniques and novel signals analysis to dramatically improve understanding of measurement variability and rare event detection.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Serial Cytometry: Improving Measurement of Single Cells in an Optofluidic Device\u0022 - Gregory A.

While impressive progress has been made overall in scaling and implementation of existing diagnostics, most still require complex, bulky and expensive equipment designed to be used in dedicated central laboratories. Miniaturization via microfabrication and nanofabrication methods offers a unique opportunity to make simple, portable and inexpensive diagnostic tools. Compared to conventional optical detection methods, electrochemical detection has significant advantages at the microscale. Here, I will present our progress on developing a multiplexed electrochemical detection scheme for COVID19 biomarkers. I will also discuss their applicability to the general unmet needs in biomarker detection including for other infectious diseases such as Tuberculosis and beyond.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EZhe \u0026quot;Monica\u0026quot; Zhong \u003C\/strong\u003E(Advisor:Ankur Singh)\u003Cstrong\u003E - \u0026quot;Lymphoid Organoids for Understanding B Cell Immune Response in Aging:\u0026quot;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOlder people demonstrate a decline in immune response to new pathogens and vaccines, the causes of which are poorly understood but can be attributed to a defective T cell and B cell interaction in acquired immunity. Prior work suggests that the B cell immunosenescence and impaired expression of CD40L on CD4+ T cells leads to a less durable, lower-affinity antibody response, which depends on the induction of a transient subanatomical structure, called germinal centers (GC), in the B cell follicles of lymph nodes. The challenge in testing vaccines and generating antibody responses against infectious agents in the aged individual is the limited induction of GC B cell reaction. Identifying molecular targets in GC reaction that regulate GC response in B cells in aged people can enable design and discovery of better vaccines and immunotherapies. However, the study of aged immune system has long been limited to in vivo approaches, which often do not allow multidimensional spatial and temporal control of intracellular and extracellular processes. Additionally, no current ex vivo techniques entail the bona fide somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation process of antibody formation in aged B cells. . In my doctoral research, I am developing a 3D-biomaterial-based immune organoid that presents lymphoid microenvironmental cues to B cells and enables the recapitulation of GC-like phenotype ex vivo. Using these enabling technologies, I am understanding factors that regulate B cell outcomes during host-pathogen interactions in aging.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Hanhao \u0022Spencer\u0022 Zhang (Sarkar lab) and Zhe \u0022Monica\u0022 Zhong (Singh lab) - Georgia Tech"}],"uid":"27195","created_gmt":"2021-04-23 14:28:51","changed_gmt":"2021-05-03 16:17:54","author":"Colly Mitchell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2021-05-14T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2021-05-14T18:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2021-05-14T18:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2021-05-14 21:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2021-05-14 22:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2021-05-14 22:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.

The goal of a medical intervention is to try to do it as minimally invasively as possible, since it can significantly reduce post-operative morbidity, reduce recovery time, and also lead to lower healthcare costs. However, minimally invasive surgical interventions, for example, for a range of procedures will require a significant change in the healthcare paradigm for both diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Advances in surgical interventions will benefit from \u0026ldquo;patient-specific robotic tools\u0026rdquo; to deliver optimal diagnosis and therapy. Likewise, patient-specific robotic systems and customized interfaces could also benefit rehabilitation and assistive robotics.

With the possibility of using patient derived cells, they provide a platform for mechanistic studies as well as drug screens. The holy grail has been how to direct differentiation, how best to mimic disease conditions, how to rein in stochasticity, and how to increase reproducibility and efficiency. Are micro or mesofluidic systems really the answer? Is there a minimal condition to produce these organoids? Is size limiting the complexity of these systems? Can time be sped up or slowed down in these systems?

Even more powerful is the development of protocols that promote self-organization of iPSCs into whole tissues or organs, often referred to as organoids. Using various protocols, we can now generate organoids that recapitulate various brain regions. These models can be used to study neurodevelopment, study developmental neurodegenerative, or neuropsychiatric disorders, and serve as a drug screening and discovery platform. Despite these advances, there remain several important limitations of brain organoids. Namely, the lack of cell type diversity seen in vivo, the absence of morphogen gradients, the lack of vasculature, and scalability.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cem\u003EThis MCELS Seminar is a joint student lead seminar series by UIUC, GT, and MIT.\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Presentations from Hang Lu, Ph.D. and Melissa Cadena - Georgia Tech"}],"uid":"27195","created_gmt":"2021-03-15 20:26:43","changed_gmt":"2021-03-17 13:06:50","author":"Colly Mitchell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2021-03-26T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2021-03-26T18:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2021-03-26T18:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2021-03-26 21:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2021-03-26 22:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2021-03-26 22:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.

Technologies such as fluorescent proteins and optogenetics serve this purpose in small, translucent specimens, but are limited by the poor penetration of light into deeper tissues. In contrast, most non-invasive techniques such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging \u0026ndash; while based on energy forms that penetrate tissue effectively \u0026ndash; are not effectively coupled to cellular function. Our work attempts to bridge this gap by engineering biomolecules with the appropriate physical properties to interact with magnetic fields and sound waves. In this talk, I will describe our recent development of biomolecular reporters and actuators for ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. The reporters are based on a unique class of gas-filled protein nanostructures from buoyant photosynthetic microbes. These proteins produce nonlinear scattering of sound waves, enabling their detection with ultrasound, and perturb magnetic fields, allowing their detection with MRI. I will describe our recent progress in understanding the biophysical and acoustic properties of these biomolecules, engineering their mechanics and targeting at the genetic level, developing methods to enhance their detection in vivo, expressing them heterologously as reporter genes, and turning them into dynamic sensors of enzyme activity. Our actuators are based on temperature-dependent transcriptional repressors, which provide switch-like control of bacterial gene expression in response to small changes in temperature. We have genetically tuned these repressors to activate at thresholds within the biomedically relevant range of 32\u0026ordm;C to 46\u0026ordm;C, and constructed genetic logic circuits to connect thermal signals to various cellular functions. This allows us to use focused ultrasound to remote-control engineered cells \u003Cem\u003Ein vivo\u003C\/em\u003E. In addition, I will describe methods to use ultrasound in combination with viral vectors and engineered receptors to provide spatially and cell-type specific non-invasive control over neural activity.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EBIO\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nMikhail Shapiro is a Professor of Chemical Engineering and an Investigator of the Heritage Medical Research Institute at Caltech.

With the emergent concept of stem cell organoids, these 3D cultures of developing tissue imply similarity to the manner in which different organs establish their characteristic structure and functions based on dynamic multicellular self-organization at the tissue level. My research group has developed a spatial-organized 3D organoid model that captures the dynamic process of early human organ development during embryogenesis. By varying the geometric shape of patterned hiPSCs, we have achieved multi-lineage induction with co-emergent cell specification of cardiac lineage, stromal lineage and hepatic lineage. Our multi-lineage organoids not only recaptured the parallel organ development of the heart-liver synergy, but also demonstrated that biophysical cues can modulate the co-emergent developmental process by shifting cell lineages between mesoderm and endoderm. More recently, to elucidate structure-function relationship for cardiac organoids, we applied advanced data mining techniques for analysis and visualization of sophisticated, large-scale multidimensional \u0026ldquo;Physiomics\u0026rdquo; datasets from these organoids.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EThe Bioengineering Seminar Series is co-hosted by the Parker H.

Like approximately 25% of all Gram-negative bacteria, \u003Cem\u003EV. cholerae\u003C\/em\u003E uses the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) to deliver cytotoxic proteins in a contact-dependent manner to eliminate adjacent cells. After sequencing a diverse set of \u003Cem\u003EV. cholerae\u003C\/em\u003E isolates, we discovered two putative T6SS toxins, which I named TleV1 and TpeV. TleV1 is lethal when expressed in the periplasm of \u003Cem\u003EEscherichia coli \u003C\/em\u003Ecells and can be delivered in a T6SS-dependent manner to compromise cell membranes and kill target bacteria. Unlike other \u003Cem\u003EV. cholerae\u003C\/em\u003E T6SS effectors, TpeV does not share homology to proteins with known functions. \u003Cem\u003EE. coli \u003C\/em\u003Ecells expressing periplasmic TpeV exhibit profound toxicity, have a disrupted membrane potential and are permeabilized. I determined that \u003Cem\u003EV. cholerae\u003C\/em\u003E can translocate TpeV to permeabilize and kill target cells in a T6SS-dependent manner. Important human, animal and plant pathogens encode tpeV homologs adjacent to known T6SS genes, indicating that the toxin belongs to a large protein family. While many studies have described the regulation and toxins of the T6SS, few have investigated the defensive responses elicited by cells that are targeted by T6SS attacks. I demonstrated that multiple human commensal \u003Cem\u003EE. coli \u003C\/em\u003Estrains, which are highly susceptible to killing via the T6SS, show a remarkable survival improvement when co-cultured with \u003Cem\u003EV. cholerae\u003C\/em\u003E in the presence of glucose. I identified that the \u003Cem\u003EE. coli\u003C\/em\u003E glucose-responsive master gene regulator CRP (\u003Cstrong\u003Ec\u003C\/strong\u003Eyclic AMP \u003Cstrong\u003Er\u003C\/strong\u003Eeceptor \u003Cstrong\u003Ep\u003C\/strong\u003Erotein) controls resistance against T6SS attacks. \u003Cem\u003EE. coli\u003C\/em\u003E cells with a \u003Cem\u003Ecrp\u003C\/em\u003E gene disruption are protected against V. cholerae T6SS attacks even in the absence of glucose. In summary, I found that \u003Cem\u003EV. cholerae\u003C\/em\u003E isolates employ diverse chemical weapons to eliminate competitor cells and identified a small molecule that confers protection against T6SS attacks in target cells.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cem\u003EThe \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/petitinstitute.gatech.edu\/bud-suddath-memorial-award\u0022\u003EF.

In the body, cancellous bone is thought to make bones more lightweight and also assist in energy absorption. In a series of experiments examining the accumulation of fatigue damage in high porosity cancellous bone. We show that fatigue failure is influenced by two traits have little effect on uniaxial properties: matrix heterogeneity and microstructural elements oriented transverse to habitual loads.

He currently is Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology and of Medicine at HMS and in the Program of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, and in the Division of Hematology, Department of Medicine at Children\u0026rsquo;s Hospital.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESpringer discovered with monoclonal antibodies, then cloned and functionally and structurally characterized, many of the adhesion receptors in the immune system. He was the first to demonstrate that lymphocytes and leukocytes had adhesion molecules. His work on these receptors has advanced to characterizing their interactions and allosteric transitions by x-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, and laser tweezers force spectroscopy.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHe discovered the lymphocyte function-associated (LFA) molecules, the intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs), and the first subfamily of integrins. He discovered that LFA-1 bound to ICAM-1, that LFA-2 (CD2) bound to LFA-3, and that blocking either of these adhesion pathways could block antigen recognition by T lymphocytes. \u0026nbsp;These two pathways were the first examples of like-unlike cell adhesive recognition in biology. \u0026nbsp;These discoveries directly led to the development and FDA approval of efalizumab (Raptiva, Genentech) - an antibody to LFA-1, and Alefacept (Amevive, Biogen) - the LFA-3 ectodomain fused to Fc, both for plaque psoriasis.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESpringer later discovered the three step paradigm for leukocyte diapedesis: 1) rolling adhesion of leukocytes on the vessel wall through a translating zone of selectin-carbohydrate adhesion; 2) activation of G protein-coupled receptors on the leukocyte by chemoattractants presented by vascular endothelium; and 3) activation of integrin adhesiveness for CAMs on endothelium, which mediates firm adhesion and leukocyte migration through the vessel wall. \u0026nbsp;The use of different molecular digits in each step creates area codes that govern which particular subset of leukocytes or lymphocytes will emigrate from the bloodstream to a particular subset of inflammatory signals. \u0026nbsp;This together with the realization that blocking any of these steps could completely block emigration led Springer to found LeukoSite in 1993. \u0026nbsp;In 1996 LeukoSite published that an antibody to integrin \u0026alpha;4\u0026beta;7, a lymphocyte homing receptor for mucosal tissues, rapidly resolved colitis in non-human primates. \u0026nbsp;This antibody, vedolizumab (Entyvio, Takeda) was approved for moderate to severe ulcerative colitis and Crohns disease in 2014. \u0026nbsp;Springer recruited to the SAB Herman Waldmann, the creator of the antibody CAMPATH-1 (Alemtuzumab). Waldmann arranged to license CAMPATH-1 to LeukoSite in 1997, which was approved by the FDA for B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 2001. CAMPATH was later acquired by Genzyme, and reintroduced as Lemtrada, which was approved for multiple sclerosis in 2013. \u0026nbsp;LeukoSite went public in 1998 and acquired ProScript and with it the proteasome inhibitor bortezimib in 1999, which was approved for multiple myeloma in 2003 (Velcade, Millenium Pharmaceuticals). \u0026nbsp;LeukoSite was acquired by Millenium in December 1999 and as 35% of Millenium was valued at $3 billion by 2001.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESpringer\u0026rsquo;s academic interests now focus on how protein conformational change together with tensile force activates integrins, von Willebrand factor, the transforming growth factor-\u0026beta; family, and adhesins on malaria sporozoites, and discovering new binding partners. \u0026nbsp;Springer has over 500 publications, a Hirsch index of 147, and over 30 patents. \u0026nbsp;He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and his honors include the Crafoord Prize, the American Association of Immunologists Meritorious Career Award, and the Stratton Medal from the American Society of Hematology.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESpringer is an investor in Selecta Bioscience since its B round and a founding investor in Moderna Therapeutics and Editas Medicine. \u0026nbsp;He is a Resident Professor at Pfizer. \u0026nbsp;He is founder and investor in Scholar Rock and in Morphic Rock Therapeutics, and board member and lead angel of Ab Initio Biotherapeutics.

FRET biosensors have been successfully developed to monitor the activity of a variety of signaling molecules, including tyrosine\/serine\/threonine kinases. We have a developed a general high-throughput screening (HTS) method based on directed evolution to develop sensitive and specific FRET biosensors which allowed the visualization of signaling activation patterns in live immune cells. It has also been increasingly clear that controlling protein functions can control cellular behaviors for therapeutics. We have engineered a novel class of machinery molecules which can provide a surveillance of the intracellular space, visualizing the spatiotemporal patterns of molecular events and automatically triggering corresponding molecular actions to guide cellular functions. We have adopted a modular assembly approach to develop these machinery molecules, and applied them to reprogram the \u0026ldquo;don\u0026rsquo;t eat me\u0026rdquo; CD47 receptor SIRPa on macrophages such that the engagement of SIRPa and its activation of naturally negative signals will be rewired to turn on positive actions to facilitate phagocytosis of red blood cells and target tumor cells. Because of the modular design of our engineered molecule, our approach can be extended to perform a broad range of cell-based imaging and immunotherapies, and hence highlight the translational power in bridging the fundamental molecular engineering to clinical medicine. We have further integrated with lights and ultrasound to control the molecular activations of genes and enzymes, which allowed us to control the cellular functions of immunocells for therapeutics with high precision in space and time.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBIOGRAPHY\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nPeter Wang, Ph.D., obtained his bachelor\u0026rsquo;s and master\u0026rsquo;s degrees in Mechanics and Fluid Mechanics from Peking University, Beijing, P.R.

However, photobleaching, phototoxicity, and related artifacts continue to limit FM\u0026rsquo;s performance. Recently, it has been shown that artificial intelligence (AI) can transform one form of contrast into another. We present PICS, a combination of quantitative phase imaging and AI, which provides quantitative information about unlabeled live cells with high specificity. Our imaging system allows for automatic training, while inference is built into the acquisition software and runs in real-time. Applying the computed specificity maps back to the QPI data, we measured the growth of both nuclei and cytoplasm independently, over many days, without loss of viability. Using a QPI method that suppresses multiple scattering, we measured the dry mass content of individual cell nuclei within spheroids.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBIOGRAPHY\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nGabriel Popescu, Ph.D., is a Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

We approach these questions in intact brain circuits, using intersectional approaches combining optogenetics, in vivo and ex vivo electrophysiology, 2P imaging, AAV vectors, and transgenic models. Perhaps the most critical neuronal signaling features are action potential firing and synaptic transmission. Neurons regulate these features by spatially segregating different ion channels in the soma, dendrites, and axon. We are now beginning to understand the significance of these cellular processes in terms of circuit function and disease. We are interested in understanding how different cell classes, (e.g., inhibitory neurons) utilize these excitable mechanisms to their advantage in the circuit.

Using a variety of techniques including optogenetics, electrophysiology, imaging, and gene expression profiling, we identify key neurons in the sleep control circuits and map their synaptic connections. Sleep appears to be controlled by a highly distributed network spanning the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain, where REM and non-REM sleep neurons are part of the central somatic and autonomic motor circuits.

I will first discuss how nanostructuring of atomically-thin 2D materials allows for the enhancement of their exceptional material properties and creating new functionalities in mechanical, optical, plasmonic properties. I will also introduce a shrink nanomanufacturing method developed based on nanoscale mechanics of atomically-thin materials, including graphene and MoS2 atomic layers. Shrink nanomanufacturing allows large-scale, uniform crumpling of graphene, a two-dimensional (2D) material, enabling mechanical stretchability and strain tunability of a flexible optoelectronic device.

The brain generates complex sequences of movements that can be flexibly reconfigured in real-time based on sensory feedback, but how this occurs is not fully understood. We developed a novel \u0026lsquo;sequence licking\u0026rsquo; task in which mice directed their tongue to a target that moved through a series of locations. Mice could rapidly reconfigure the sequence online based on tactile feedback. Closed-loop optogenetics and electrophysiology revealed that tongue\/jaw regions of somatosensory (S1TJ) and motor (M1TJ) cortex encoded and controlled tongue kinematics at the level of individual licks. Tongue premotor (anterolateral motor, ALM) cortex encoded intended tongue angle in a smooth manner that spanned individual licks and even whole sequences, and progress toward the reward that marked successful sequence execution. ALM activity regulated sequence initiation, but multiple cortical areas collectively controlled termination of licking. Our results define a functional cortical network for hierarchical control of sensory- and reward-guided orofacial sequence generation.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u201cA Functional Cortical Network for Sensorimotor  Sequence Generation\u201d - Daniel O\u2019Connor, Ph.D. - Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine"}],"uid":"27349","created_gmt":"2020-01-10 13:47:25","changed_gmt":"2020-01-10 13:47:25","author":"Floyd Wood","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2020-01-27T11:15:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2020-01-27T12:15:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2020-01-27T12:15:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2020-01-27 16:15:00","gmt_time_end":"2020-01-27 17:15:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2020-01-27 17:15:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.neuro.gatech.edu","title":"GT Neuro"},{"url":"http:\/\/neuroscience.jhu.edu\/research\/faculty\/65","title":"O\u0027Connor profile"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.

One approach is to directly replace joint function, but achieving humanlike performance is challenging for design, control, cost and longevity of the systems. An alternative approach is to exploit biomechanical workarounds for lost function rather than directly replacing it. This presentation will describe several such \u0026ldquo;semi-active\u0026rdquo; prostheses \u0026ndash; low-power systems that modulate their mechanical properties without powering body movement.

Equipped with the ability to fly, insects underwent an extraordinary radiation and have dominated every terrestrial ecosystem ever since. In order to employ fly effectively, these ancient insects must have possessed the rudimentary ability to take off, fly stably, disperse, forage, and land \u0026mdash; a core set of behavioral modules that constitute a \u0026lsquo;Devonian Toolkit\u0026rsquo;. The fact that the basic architecture of the nervous system is remarkably uniform across species, further suggests that many behaviors of modern insects are deeply rooted in a common evolutionary history. My lab is attempting to reconstruct the behavior and ecology of ancestral insects through investigations of the common fruit fly, \u003Cem\u003EDrosophila melanogaster\u003C\/em\u003E. Most experiments on fly behaviors have been confined to small laboratory chambers, yet the natural history of these animals involves dispersal that takes place on a much larger spatial scale. New release-and-recapture experiments in the Mojave Desert confirm that flies can navigate over 10 kilometers of open landscape in just a few hours. Such excursions are only possible because flies can actively maintain a constant heading. In this talk, I will discuss a hierarchy of neural mechanisms that enable flies to maintain a stable course in the face of external and internal perturbations. Collectively, this new research provides insight into ancient sensory-motor modules that have helped make insects the most successful group of animals in the history of life.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u201cStraighten Up and Fly Right:  Navigation and  Motor Control in Fruit Flies\u201d - Michael Dickinson, Ph.D. - California Institute of Technology"}],"uid":"27349","created_gmt":"2020-01-02 15:46:27","changed_gmt":"2020-01-02 15:46:27","author":"Floyd Wood","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2020-02-03T11:15:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2020-02-03T12:15:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2020-02-03T12:15:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2020-02-03 16:15:00","gmt_time_end":"2020-02-03 17:15:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2020-02-03 17:15:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.neuro.gatech.edu","title":"GT Neuro"},{"url":"https:\/\/dickinsonlab.caltech.edu\/","title":"Dickinson lab"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.

EPICS is primarily a surface chemistry and physics group that focuses on the use of high-powered pulsed lasers, low-energy electron scattering, micro-plasmas, mass spectrometry, and ultrahigh vacuum surface science techniques. The unifying theme within the group is to understand the important role electronic excitations of surfaces and interfaces play in chemical transformations, which can occur in radiation environments within the interstellar media, plasmas, or planetary magnetospheres. Understanding nonequilibrium processing of surfaces and materials within and beyond our solar system is a specific area of focus, particularly the role of electrons, protons, and extreme ultraviolet radiation in transforming surfaces of planets, their satellites (moons), asteroids, and comets. In addition, there are major efforts to examine the atomic and chemical composition of meteorite and lunar samples that may hold clues to the details of planet formation and possibly the chemical origin of life. These fundamental efforts are connected to many space missions including the Galileo, Cassini, MESSENGER, Deep Impact, and LADEE. Efforts are also underway that examine the chemical processes that occur in star-forming regions, within the solar nebulae, and on grains within interstellar regions.

Such processes are mediated by networks of biomolecular motors, sensors, and structures that generate, sense, and transmit piconewton-scale forces. The ability to engineer similar nanoscale mechanical devices from scratch could reveal the properties of biological mechanical systems and pace the way for nanorobotics and functional nanomachines of the future. DNA nanotechnology has been central in efforts to such engineering efforts. In recent decades, dozens of devices \u0026ndash; including rigid DNA beams that resemble cytoskeletal fibers, DNA-based mechanosensors, and DNA motors that mimic motor proteins such as kinesin \u0026ndash; have been developed for use in diverse fields including biophysics research, molecular sensing, and the development of active nanomaterials. We recently introduced the term DNA mechanotechnology to collectively describe this emerging field of technological development (Blanchard \u0026amp; Salaita, Science, 2019). In my talk, I will highlight some of the most exciting examples of DNA mechanotechnology and emerging applications of these devices. I will then discuss in greater detail the DNA mechanotechnology that I have helped to develop during my PhD studies. Specifically, I will discuss DNA hairpin tension probes that transduce piconewton-scale mechanical tension into fluorescence (Brockman \u0026amp; Blanchard et al., Nature Methods, 2018), a force-transmitting DNA origami body that links multiple force sensors and ligands in parallel (Dutta, Zhang, \u0026amp; Blanchard et al., Nano Letters, 2018), and the world\u0026rsquo;s strongest synthetic DNA-based motor reported to date (Blanchard et al., Nano Letters, 2019).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cem\u003EThe F.

Cadherins regulate tissue barriers, cell segregation in morphogenesis, and proliferation. We use mechanical perturbations, together with biochemical and biophysical approaches to determine how force fluctuations in tissues regulate these cadherin-dependent tissue functions. We established two force-transduction mechanisms that regulate cell mechanics and transcriptional activation. One mechanism involves a cytoplasmic protein, alpha catenin, which links cadherin complexes to actin. Under increased tension, alpha catenin exposes a binding site for vinculin, which scaffolds actin remodelling at perturbed junctions. In epithelia, we also demonstrated that force-loaded cadherin receptors activate the epidermal growth factor receptor, EGFR and a kinase cascade that in turn activates integrins. In epithelia, E-cadherin and EGFR regulate contact-inhibited proliferation. Our studies show that increased intercellular tension disrupts the complex to potentiate EGF-dependent activation of EGFR and downstream Erk1\/2, thus directly coupling mechanics to pro-proliferative signalling. Both the alpha catenin and kinase-mediated cascades also operate in other tissues, but involve tissue-specific cadherin\/growth factor receptor pairs. Our findings reveal that cadherins, growth factor receptors, and integrins form a mechanosensitive network that regulates force sensitive tissue functions. I will discuss the broader implications of our findings for vascular function, breast cancer, and stem cell differentiation.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBIO\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nDeborah Leckband is the Reid T.

Catheter based medical ultrasound imaging for guiding interventions is one of the areas where this approach can have direct and significant impact. In this talk, we first motivate miniaturization of ultrasound systems for guiding interventions in the arteries and the heart. We discuss several microsystems where capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) arrays are monolithically integrated with CMOS electronics (CMUT-on-CMOS). These include forward looking volumetric intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging system, essentially a flashlight in coronary arteries, and MRI compatible intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) catheters. We provide details on integrated circuit (ASIC) designs we developed for these applications which have increasing complexity from simple receiver multiplexing to transmit beamforming and receiver multiplexing on a single chip. We also describe approaches for massive parallel RF data transfer using time division multiplexing for cable reduction in catheter implementations. As an ultimate integration example, we present our work on guidewire IVUS where an imaging system to fit on a 0.014\u0026rdquo; diameter guidewire.

We and others previously showed that the muscle stem cell (MuSC) pool becomes less efficient at repairing damage in dystrophic mouse models. While progress has been made over the last decade with respect to potential treatments for DMD, current strategies are focused on treatment of skeletal muscle and do not take muscle stem cells into consideration. We recently demonstrated that telomere shortening is a district feature of dystrophic MuSCs in both mice and DMD patients already at a very young age. We have generated unique mouse tools that allow us to study stem cells within their native tissue environment of live mice and have determined the cellular consequence of telomere shortening in MuSCs. Furthermore, we discovered a previously unknown crosstalk between NF-kappaB and telomeres and determined the function of a telomeric protein in the progression of muscular dystrophy. These findings expand the fundamental knowledge of stem cell biology in diseased muscles. Understanding the molecular link between stem cell functional exhaustion and telomere shortening in DMD will significantly impact the conceptual view of DMD skeletal muscle pathology, providing fresh therapeutic perspectives on disease progression and will likely inform similar mechanisms in musculoskeletal applications with stem cell dysfunction, such as chronic or repeated muscle injuries in aging.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nThe Mourkioti lab has a long-term interest in understanding the fundamental aspects of skeletal muscle and cardiac function in normal or diseased conditions and in the practical aspects of manipulating these functions by using animal models and tissue engineering approaches for treatment intervention.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cem\u003EThe Bioengineering Seminar Series is co-hosted by the Parker H.

However, since peptide bioavailability is limited by proteolysis, non-natural AMP mimics are interesting as more robust and biostable analogues of AMP and seem to offer distinct advantages as potential clinical therapeutics. We report here on our experimental exploration of the development of poly-N-substituted glycines (peptoids) as a new class of biomimetic antimicrobial drugs, via multiple approaches including several different in vitro assays and in vivo mouse studies. After studying more than 120 peptoid sequence variants, we identified a number of unique peptoids that exhibit potent, broad-spectrum antibacterial in vitro activity, and which have a unique, biomimetic mechanism of action: bacterial rigidification. In our recent in vivo testing, mice were infected intratracheally with bioluminescent Pseudomonas aeruginosa, then treated by our TM5 peptoid, providing a significant reduction in bacterial loads compared to untreated animals. TM5 peptoid was also well tolerated in the lung by mice. In addition, new super-resolution fluorescence videomicroscopy studies confirm that these peptoids rapidly \u0026ldquo;rigidify\u0026rdquo; bacterial cytoplasm, just like natural cathelicidin AMPs. Taken together, these results show the highly promising potential clinical applicability of these 5-12mer peptoids.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Biomimetic Drugs: In Vitro, In Vivo \u0026 Mechanistic Studies of 5-12mer Antibacterial Peptoids to Treat Respiratory Infections\u0022 - Annelise E.

ALI\u0026rsquo;s pathogenesis and management are complex, and it is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Exogenous surfactant therapy is currently impractical for adults because of the high cost of current surfactant preparations and the large amount of material needed to treat adult-sized lungs. Prior in vitro work has shown that helical, sequence-specific 21mer poly-N-substituted glycines (peptoids), in a biomimetic lipid mixture, emulate key biophysical activities of lung surfactant proteins B and C (SP-B and SP-C, respectively) at the air-water interface. We have found good in vivo efficacy of a peptoid-based surfactant, compared with extracted animal surfactant and a synthetic lipid formulation, in a rat model of lavage-induced ALI. Adult rats were subjected to whole-lung lavage followed by administration of surfactant formulations and monitoring of outcomes. Treatment with a SP-C mimic formulation improved blood oxygenation, blood pH, shunt fraction, and peak inspiratory pressure to a greater degree than SP-B mimic or combined formulations. All peptoid-enhanced treatment groups showed improved outcomes compared to synthetic lipids alone, and some formulations improved outcomes to a similar extent as animal-derived surfactant. In recent work, we have designed improved mimics of SP-C with more biomimetic side chain chemistries, which perform better in vitro, and we expect to see improved efficacy in future in vivo studies with these new designs. Robust biophysical mimics of natural surfactant proteins may enable new medical research in approaches to the treatment of acute lung injury and pneumonia.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Helical Peptoid Mimics of the Hydrophobic Lung Surfactant Proteins Provide Effective In Vivo Treatment of Acute Lung Injury\u0022 - Annelise E.

Intracortical BCIs have allowed people to control reaching and grasping movements using their neural activity. However, BCIs users have primarily relied on visual feedback which may be insufficient for tasks involving object manipulation. \u0026nbsp;Recently, we showed that intracortical microsimulation of somatosensory cortex can generate focal sensations that feel like they originate on the BCI users hand and that can be graded in intensity. Our current BCI study participant was able to use restored tactile sensations to improve performance on object transfer tasks. The time required to grasp the objects was reduced when ICMS feedback was provided as compared to visual feedback alone, likely due to increased certainty about the timing of object contact. Sensory feedback is particularly critical for dexterous and complex movements that are essential for many activities of daily living. We have also begun to investigate the role of motor cortex in modulating grasp force across a variety of task conditions. \u0026nbsp;Across all experiments, we identified a large transient neural response during periods of active force application, as well as a tonic neural response during periods of constant force application. \u0026nbsp;Interestingly, the relative strength of the transient and tonic neural components changes with task complexity suggesting a reallocation of cortical resources to accommodate the task requirements. \u0026nbsp;This has implications for BCIs, which must account for contextual changes in order to maintain consistent performance. \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nBIO\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nJennifer Collinger, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Pittsburgh and a Research Biomedical Engineer at the Pittsburgh VA R\u0026amp;D Center of Excellence. \u0026nbsp;Dr. Collinger\u0026rsquo;s research interests are related to the use of neuroprosthetics to restore function for individuals with upper limb paralysis or loss.

CyTOF\u0026reg; technology has also been adopted by multiple consortia and in more than 40 clinical trials.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nThe Helios\u0026trade;, a CyTOF\u0026reg; system permits the analysis of 37+ unique targets on a per-cell basis enabling unparalleled insight into the phenotype and function of cell populations from normal and diseased states in a single tube. Additionally, barcoding for Mass Cytometry allows combining up to 20 samples in one tube for increased efficiency and to eliminate sample to sample variation.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nIn this seminar, we will describe the workflow for the Helios\u0026trade; system, how to get started with your own mass cytometry experiments, and the resources that are available to you to ensure your success.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EQuantitative Single Cell Dissection of Tumor Microenvironments with Mass Cytometry Analysis\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nPresented by Deon B.

Each of these regions is present, in approximately the same location, in every normal person. This initial rough sketch of the functional organization of the brain counts as real progress, giving us a kind of diagram of the major components of the human mind. But at the same time, it is just the barest beginning. Really what our new map of the human brain offers is a vast landscape of new questions. In this talk I will first broadly survey some of the most widely replicated functionally distinctive cortical regions, and then describe ongoing work into three such questions. First, in light of widespread findings that functionally specific cortical regions contain information about \u0026ldquo;nonpreferred\u0026rdquo; stimuli, do some patches of cortex really play a highly specific causal role in processing just one class of stimuli? Second, how does all this complex structure, that is so similar across subjects, arise in development? I will discuss the developmental origins of cortical specificity, including a new finding of what appears to be a fusiform face area in the ventral visual pathway of congenitally blind people. Third, why do we have the particular functionally specific cortical regions we do, and apparently not others, and why, from a computational point of view, is functional specificity a good design feature for brains in the first place?\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Functional Imaging of the Human Brain: A Window into the Architecture of the Mind\u0022 - Nancy Kanwisher, Ph.D. - MIT"}],"uid":"27349","created_gmt":"2019-08-21 17:52:39","changed_gmt":"2019-08-21 17:52:39","author":"Floyd Wood","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-09-16T12:15:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2019-09-16T13:15:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-09-16T13:15:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-09-16 16:15:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-09-16 17:15:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-09-16 17:15:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/web.mit.edu\/bcs\/nklab\/","title":"Kanwisher Lab"},{"url":"http:\/\/neuro.gatech.edu","title":"Neruro Website"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.

During pregnancy, the uterus and fetal membrane must grow and stretch to accommodate the fetus. Simultaneously, the cervix must remodel and be a mechanical barrier to keep the fetus within the uterus. All three tissues must withstand mechanical forces to protect, support, and maintain an optimal growth environment for the developing baby. Then, in a reversal of roles, ideally nearing term, the uterus begins to contract and the cervix deforms to allow for a safe delivery. The magnitude of stress and stretch of these soft tissues supporting the fetus are thought to control physiologic processes that regulate tissue growth, remodeling, contractility, and rupture, and it is generally hypothesized that these mechanical signals are clinical cues for normal labor and preterm birth, a major long-lasting public health problem with heavy emotional and financial consequences. In this talk I will reveal what we know about the soft tissue mechanics of pregnancy. I will present finite element models of pregnancy based on ultrasonic anatomical data, and I will examine the mechanical function of the soft tissues that support the fetus. I will also specifically characterize cervical material properties using a hyperelastic constitutive model that accounts for the cervical collagen fiber architecture and hormone-mediated remodeling relationships. Through this experimental and modeling effort I aim to identify which factor or combination of factors is responsible for clinically-observed mechanical dysfunction in pregnancy.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBIO\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nKristin is an associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Columbia University in the City of New York.

However, the finite depth of light penetration in tissue is a serious constraint to clinical applications. Here, we developed implantable light-delivery devices using biodegradable polymers. With this light delivery system, we demonstrated photochemical tissue bonding (PTB) for wound healing with a Rose Bengal (RB) dye, achieving a full thickness (410 mm) wound closure of porcine skin. In addition, we successfully demonstrated the facilitated PTB using hyaluronic acid (HA) \u0026ndash; RB conjugate and upconversion nanoparticle (UCNP). The UCNP emitting red and green light in the skin tissue by skin-penetrating near infrared (NIR) laser illumination could activate the RB dye and crosslink the collagen, inducing skin repair and deep tissue wound healing. Furthermore, we developed cell-integrated poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels for in vivo optogenetic sensing and therapy. Real-time optical readout of encapsulated heat-shock-protein-coupled fluorescent reporter cells made it possible to measure the nanotoxicity of cadmium-based quantum dots in vivo. Using optogenetic cells producing glucagon-like peptide-1, we performed light-controlled therapy and obtained improved glucose homeostasis in diabetic model mice. Finally, we developed a smart contact lens composed of biosensors, drug delivery systems, and power sources for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy as a model disease. This presentation will provide the current state-of-the-art smart photomedicines for further clinical applications.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nBIO\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nSei Kwang Hahn obtained his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST).

By combining novel engineered in vitro platforms, mouse models, and multivariate computational systems analysis, we will be able to 1) capture a holistic systems-level understanding of complex diseases, and 2) isolate specific mechanisms driving disease.

Using these approaches, we have shown that we can reprogram living cellular machines that carryout new novel precision functions, including therapeutic immune cells that precisely recognize and eliminate cancer cells, or cells that self-organize into tissues. \u0026nbsp;By merging our understanding of cellular machines with our knowledge of our bodies and its diseases, we envision the development of a mature field of cell engineering with a toolbox of optimized molecular parts and circuit architectures, as well as disease and \u0026nbsp;\u0026quot;GPS\u0026quot; sensors that allow the cell to target specific sites in the body or brain. \u0026nbsp;Such a platform will allow us to rapidly and flexibly prototype and design cells that can identify sites of disease or degeneration and execute precisely targeted and controlled therapeutic actions.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cem\u003EBiography\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nWendell Lim is the Byers Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology at the University of California San Francisco, and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

Moreover, through rational design, these nanoparticles have the potential to deliver signals to report back on or influence the regeneration of the cellular niche for personalized medicine regimes, while addressing the limitations of current clinical diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. To this end, we have engineered multimodal micelles that bind to various markers of diseases and incorporated drugs (microRNA, small molecules, peptides) and imaging molecules (NIRF agents, Gd) for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nFor kidney diseases, while small molecule drugs have been proposed as a therapy to manage disease progression, high dosages are often required to achieve therapeutic efficacy, generating off-target side effects, some of which are lethal. To address these limitations, our lab has designed a novel, kidney-targeting peptide amphiphile micelle (KPAM) system toward drug delivery applications. Specifically, KPAMs were found to cross the glomerular filtration barrier and bind to megalin, a multiligand cell surface receptor present on renal tubule cells. When incubated with human kidney proximal tubule cells, KPAMs were found to be biocompatible in vitro and showed higher accumulation in kidneys compared to nontargeted controls in vivo. We provide proof-of-concept studies for their utility in autosomal polycystic kidney disease and their application using various routes of administration.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nIn addition, due to the modularity of PAMs and their potential for theranostic (\u0026ldquo;thera\u0026rdquo;-peutic + \u0026ldquo;diag\u0026rdquo;-nostic) applications, I will also present our efforts in developing microRNA nanotherapeutics for calcification and smooth muscle cell targeting to detect and inhibit atherosclerosis. Such micelles have the potential to be the next generation of nanoparticles with capabilities to bind to specific disease markers of interest, deliver a therapeutic, and monitor the progression and regression of the disease in real-time. \u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nBIOGRAPHY\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nEun Ji Chung is a Gabilan Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Southern California.

Mechanical straining and adaptation due to mechanical cues plays a central role in all these tissues. The aim of our work is to understand the mechano-biological cues of regeneration and adaptation and how they can be employed to enable healing even in tissues with impaired regenerative capacity such as muscle, cartilage or tendon. All approaches are motivated by clinical challenges, are based on in vivo patient measurements, employ basic research principles and aim at being translated into daily clinical routine. Examples of translation include innovative concepts for joint replacement procedures, angle stable fixation of implants or cell therapies for immune-modulation to empower tissue regeneration.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBIO\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nGeorg Duda is director of the Julius Wolff Insitute, co-director of the Berlin Center Regenerative Therapies and Professor of Biomechanics and Musculoskeletal Regeneration at the Charit\u0026eacute; \u0026ndash; Humboldt University of Berlin and Free University of Berlin and an Associated Faculty Member at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University.

We have done this by focusing on the signaling pathways that drive anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral patterning of the developing endoderm. We can now generate organoids representing all of the organs of the gastrointestinal tract including esophagus, gastric fundus, gastric antrum, small intestine and colon. GI organoids contain complex epithelial structures and diverse cell types that are unique to their representative organ; esophageal organoids develop a stratified squamous epithelium, gastric organoids have a glandular epithelium that secrete digestive enzymes, hormones, and acid, and intestinal organoids additionally absorb nutrients. While the first generation of GI organoids had epithelium and mesenchyme, they were lacking important cell types and functions. We have now engineered additional cellular complexity into organoids, such as small intestinal organoids with a functional enteric nervous and colonic organoids with functional immune cells capable of triggering an inflammatory cascade in response to pathogenic bacteria. Ongoing studies include PSC-derived organoids to identify the underlying mechanisms behind birth defects including Hirschsprung\u0026rsquo;s disease and esophageal atresia, to identify new pathologies in patients with complex GI diseases. Lastly we are using human organoids to investigate the how the GI endocrine system modulates a broad array of metabolic functions including nutrient sensing and absorption.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENIH grant funding: P01HD093363, U01DK103117, U19 AI116491, UG3DK119982\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u201cPluripotent Stem Cell-derived Gastrointestinal Organoids as New Models to Study Human Development and Disease\u201d - James Wells, Ph.D. - Cincinnati Children\u2019s Hospital"}],"uid":"27349","created_gmt":"2019-04-15 15:50:17","changed_gmt":"2019-04-15 15:50:17","author":"Floyd Wood","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-05-02T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2019-05-02T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-05-02T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-05-02 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-05-02 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-05-02 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.cincinnatichildrens.org\/bio\/w\/james-wells","title":"Wells Profile"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.

Lymphatic muscle exhibits rapid, phasic contractile activity that drives the intrinsic lymphatic pumping in addition to the slower, tonic form of contractions. One of our goals is to elucidate the contractile regulatory mechanisms of lymphatic muscle in normal and in different inflammation animal models. Insulin resistance is a critical determinant of the onset and progression of several metabolic diseases, such as obesity, metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) and type 2-diabetes. A state of chronic, sub-acute inflammation is believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and understanding the insulin resistant mechanisms may provide new targets for treatment of MetSyn. Lymphatic function is impaired in a high-fructose diet-induced MetSyn rat model and that is associated with an increase macrophage investiture into, and along, the mesenteric lymphatic collecting vessels. Additionally, insulin resistant lymphatic muscle cells (LMCs) exhibit selective impairment in PI3K\/AKT pathway and enhancement in ERK\/p38MAPK\/JNK pathway to modulate cellular metabolic responses, and activating inflammatory signaling and perturb contractile status of LMCs. Insulin resistant LECs produced less NO due to a decrease in eNOS phosphorylation and showed a significant decrease in impedance across an LEC monolayer that was associated with disruption in the adherence junctional proteins. Additionally, insulin resistance in LECs impaired mitochondrial function by decreasing basal-, maximal-, and ATP-linked-oxygen consumption rates and activated NF-\u0026kappa;B nuclear translocation coupled with increased pro-inflammatory signaling. Additionally, insulin resistant LMCs exhibited elevated intracellular calcium and decreased striated muscle-specific sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase 2a (SERCA2a) \u0026nbsp;expression and activity. SERCA2a expression was significantly decreased in MetSyn lymphatic vessels and a SERCA activator, CDN 1163 increased phasic contractile frequency in the vessels from MetSyn, thereby, partially restored lymph flow in MetSyn rats.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u201cRegulation of Mesenteric Lymphatics in Metabolic  Syndrome\u201d - Mariappan Muthuchamy, Ph.D. - Texas A\u0026M College of Medicine"}],"uid":"27349","created_gmt":"2019-04-02 14:42:35","changed_gmt":"2019-04-02 14:42:35","author":"Floyd Wood","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-04-19T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2019-04-19T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-04-19T17:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-04-19 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-04-19 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-04-19 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/petitinstitute.gatech.edu","title":"Petit Institute"},{"url":"https:\/\/medicine.tamhsc.edu\/faculty\/muthuchamy.html","title":"Muthuchamy profile"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.

First, I will discuss the utility of next generation sequencing assays of urinary cell-free DNA for the broad diagnosis of viral and bacterial infections of the urinary tract. Second, I will present a droplet-microfluidics single-cell RNA sequencing technology that enables to catalog the diversity of viral transcripts within infected cells, and at the same time record the cellular response to viral infection. Last, I will discuss a highly multiplexed in-situ hybridization assay that provides a means to map the locations and identities of hundreds of different microbial species in dense microbial communities.

This putative dependence is both costly for machine learning and biologically implausible for real brains which are unlikely to have sufficient time for such massive interleaving, even during sleep. We use deep linear neural networks in hierarchically structured environments previously analyzed by Saxe, McClelland, and Ganguli () to gain new insights into how integration of new knowledge might be made more efficient. For this type of environment, its content can be described by the singular value decomposition (SVD) of the environment\u0026#39;s input-output covariance matrix, in which each successive dimension corresponds to categorical split in the hierarchical environment. Prior work showed that deep linear networks are sufficient to learn the content of the environment, and they do so in a stage-line way, with each dimension strength rising from near-zero to its maximum strength after a delay inversely proportional to the strength of the dimension, as previously demonstrated by Saxe et al capturing patterns previously observed in deeper non-linear neural networks by Rogers and McClelland (2004). Several observations are then accessible when we consider learning a new item previously not encountered in the micro-environment. (1) The item can be examined in terms of its projection onto the existing structure, and the degree to which it adds a new categorical split. (2) To the extent the item projects onto existing structure, including it in the training corpus leads to the rapid adjustment of the representation of the categories involved, and effectively no adjustment occurs to categories onto which the new item does not project at all. (3) Learning a new split, however, is slow, and its learning dynamics show the same delayed rise to maximum that depends on the dimension\u0026#39;s strength.

We describe a general-purpose machine-learning framework, DAMIP, for discovering gene signatures that can predict vaccine immunity and efficacy.

This class of devices exemplified by kinematic structures, actuation topologies, and sensing and control strategies that make them particularly well-suited to operating in unstructured, dynamically varying environments - specifically those involving cooperative interactions with humans. The ARM device design process uses an amalgamation of bioinspiration, computational modeling and optimization, and advanced rapid prototyping techniques to generate manipulation solutions which are functionally robust and versatile, but which may take completely non-biomorphic (xenomorphic) forms. This design process removes human intuition from the design loop and, instead, leverages computational methods to map salient characteristics of biological manipulation and perception onto a vast robotics design space. Areas of interest for ARM research include kinematically redundant industrial manipulation, wearable robotic devices for human augmentation, haptic-enabled teleoperative robotic microsurgery, and autonomous soft robotic platforms.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EA key scientific challenge in ARM research is synthesizing robot designs which promote the functional versatility, efficiency, and mechanical robustness seen in biological manipulators, but which are built from non-biomorphic mechanisms, actuators, and energy sources. The first step in that process is empirical characterization of the biological manipulation systems that robotic systems will emulate. In the case of adaptive robotic grasping, the biomechanics and kinetics of human grasping are measured using soft wearable sensor suites (built in-lab) and various motion tracking systems. The experimental data is then analyzed using principal component analysis, partial least squares (regression), and other dimensionality reduction methods to elucidate form-function relationships and quantitative descriptions of human grasp mechanics. This information then forms the basis for the functional requirements of a robotic manipulator.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMechanistic and statistical models generated from experimental data can be used to describe the characterized manipulation tasks mathematically. Computational models of candidate robotic manipulators \u0026ndash; consisting of motion transmission mechanisms, actuators, and kinematic topologies, and control laws \u0026ndash; are then used to simulate the tasks and assess manipulator design quality. The manipulator design space can include underactuated mechanisms, passively compliant structures, and distributed sensors for autonomous control or teleoperation. Various environmental conditions and task disturbances can be imposed on a manipulator in simulation, and computational design refinement can continue until certain performance criteria and design constraints are satisfied. To design kinematically-redundant industrial manipulators, for example, multiple task variants and environmental obstacles can be introduced in simulation to force design solutions which are both disturbance-tolerant and dexterous.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAfter optimization in-silica, ARM device designs are prototyped and experimentally validated in target environments. Rapid prototyping methods including, 3D printing, shape deposition manufacturing, and soft lithography, allow economical manufacturing of strain sensors, pneumatic actuators and other tunable, modular robotic components. Efficient, inexpensive prototyping capabilities are particularly for wearable devices which, along with mechanical performance requirements, must satisfy a variety human factors requirements. Experimental data gathered using these prototypes can be used to adjust simulation parameters and seed further optimizations.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHammond is excited to collaborate with Georgia Tech faculty and students on a variety of ARM research projects, including new topics such as xenomorphic robotic systems, human-robot interaction and co-adaptation models, and transformable, autonomous robotic manipulation platforms.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Towards the Design and Neurointegration of Dexterous Robotic Upper-extremity Prostheses\u0022 - Frank Hammond, Ph.D. - Georgia Tech"}],"uid":"27195","created_gmt":"2018-11-05 12:38:23","changed_gmt":"2019-02-20 18:37:24","author":"Colly Mitchell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-03-12T09:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2019-03-12T10:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-03-12T10:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-03-12 13:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-03-12 14:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-03-12 14:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"595880":{"id":"595880","type":"image","title":"Petit Institute Breakfast Club Seminar Series","body":null,"created":"1505321122","gmt_created":"2017-09-13 16:45:22","changed":"1505321122","gmt_changed":"2017-09-13 16:45:22","alt":"","file":{"fid":"227095","name":"breakfast-club-2017.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/breakfast-club-2017.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/breakfast-club-2017.png","mime":"image\/png","size":4915264,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/breakfast-club-2017.png?itok=BkT6wOEh"}}},"media_ids":["595880"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/pwp.gatech.edu\/hammond\/","title":"Hammon lab website"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.

I will present the development of an inexpensive, \u0026ldquo;field-friendly\u0026rdquo; diagnostic platform that uses cell-free expression systems to generate colored readouts that are visible to the naked eye, yet quantitative and robust to the interference effects seen in complex samples. Using this platform, I created a nearly field-deployable test for zinc deficiency (which is estimated to kill over 100,000 children annually) that accurately measures clinically relevant zinc concentrations. The test requires just a finger-prick of blood, is robust to temperature variation, and can be freeze-dried for long term storage. We have also used this approach to measure other classes of biomarkers, demonstrating a generalizable platform for low-cost quantitative diagnostics.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cem\u003EThe Parker H.

Examples of FDA-approved biologics include therapeutic proteins (e.g. blood clotting factors and antibodies), engineered viruses for gene therapy, and cell therapies. Biologics are addressing previous unmet medical needs, but are challenging to manufacture and therefore high in cost. In this talk, I will describe our efforts to develop synthetic alternatives to biologics used in medicine. In the first example, a multivalent polymer displaying a fibrin-binding peptide was developed as a synthetic alternative to recombinant proteins used in trauma medicine. The second example, a polymer that facilitates intracellular delivery of nucleic acids and peptides was synthesized based on design principles learned from adenoviral vectors. In a final example, an unique aptamer with high affinity for T cell marker CD8 was discovered and applied as an alternative to antibodies for T cell isolation in the manufacturing process for CAR T cells.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nBIO\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nSuzie H.

Spatial navigation deficits are one of the earliest symptoms of AD and the hippocampus is one of the areas first affected by the disease. First, I will describe how neural codes underlying memory-based spatial decisions fail in animal models Alzheimer\u0026rsquo;s disease (AD). Using a virtual reality behavior paradigm to record and manipulate neural activity in transgenic mice, the primary animal model of AD, we found deficits in hippocampal neural activity early in the progression of the disease. These deficits occurred in the same patterns of activity that we have found inform memory-guided decisions in a spatial navigation task. Next, I will discuss the effects of driving these patterns of activity in AD model mice. We found that driving gamma activity, the activity lacking in AD mice, mobilized the immune system to remove pathogenic proteins. Specifically, driving gamma recruited the primary immune cells of the brain, microglia, to alter their morphology and increase engulfment of beta-amyloid. \u0026nbsp;Finally, I will discuss new non-invasive methods we are developing to drive rhythmic neural activity non-invasively. Ultimately, these discoveries could lead to new therapies for Alzheimer\u0026rsquo;s disease by driving specific patterns of neural activity to impact the disease at the cognitive, cellular, and molecular levels.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBIO\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nAnnabelle Singer is a neuroscientist with extensive experience in the biology of learning and memory from health to disease, from animal models to humans, and from computations within neurons to across populations of cells.

Humoral immunity depends on the germinal center differentiation process in the B cell follicles of lymph nodes and spleen. In germinal centers, B cells rapidly proliferate and somatically mutated high-affinity antibody secreting cells, i.e. plasma cells, are generated from na\u0026iuml;ve B cells in response to T cell-dependent antigen. The stochasticity of the antibody formation process predisposes immune cells to turn into lymphomas. To date, the cross-talk between cellular, biochemical, and biomechanical factors in the lymph node microenvironment that regulate antibody formation and support lymphomas is poorly understood. In this talk, I will discuss my laboratory\u0026rsquo;s effort in developing tractable hydrogel-based ex vivo immune organoids for generating highly specific immune cells in a dish and to elucidate the role of epigenetic modifiers in humoral immunity against infection. I will subsequently describe designer bio-adhesive hydrogels and lymphatic-mimicking technologies for understanding the role of the lymphoid microenvironment in genetically diverse lymphomas and potential causes of drug resistance, including lymphoid tissue mechanics and lymphatic-like fluid flow.

Kosal\u0026rsquo;s research explores the relationships among technology, strategy, and governance. Her research focuses on two, often intersecting, areas: \u0026nbsp;reducing the threat of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and understanding the role of emerging technologies for security.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHer work aims to understand and explain the role of technology and technological diffusion for national security at strategic and operational levels. In the changing post-Cold War environment, the most advanced military power no longer guarantees national or international security in a globalized world in which an increasing number of nation-states and non-state actors have access to new and potentially devastating dual-use capabilities. The long-term goals of her work are to understand the underlying drivers of technological innovation and how technology affects national security and modern warfare. She is interested in both the scholarly, theoretical level discourse and in the development of new strategic approaches and executable policy options to enable US dominance and to limit the proliferation of unconventional weapons.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOn the question of understanding the impact of emerging technology on national and international security her research considers what role will nanotechnology, cognitive science, biotechnology, and converging sciences have on states, non-state actors, balance of power, deterrence postures, security doctrines, nonproliferation regimes, and programmatic choices. Through examination of these real applications on the science (benign and defensive) and potential (notional) offensive uses of nanotechnology, she seeks to develop a model to probe the security implications of this emerging technology. The goal of the research is not to predict new specific technologies but to develop a robust analytical framework for assessing the impact of new technology on national and international security and identifying policy measures to prevent or slow proliferation of new technology - the next generation \u0026ldquo;WMD\u0026rdquo; - for malfeasant intentions.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EKosal is the author of Nanotechnology for Chemical and Biological Defense (Springer Academic Publishers, 2009), which explores scenarios and strategies regarding the benefits and potential proliferation threats of nanotechnology and other emerging sciences for international security. She is also Director of the Sam Nunn Security Fellows Program and Co-Director of the Program on Emerging Technology within the Center for International Strategy, Technology, and Policy (CISTP).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EKosal was recently appointed Adjunct Scholar to the Modern War Institute at the US Military Academy\/West Point. From 2012-2013, she as a senior advisor to the Chief of Staff of the US Army as part of his inaugural Strategic Studies Group (SSG). Before joining the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, she was Science and Technology Advisor within the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD). Kosal also served as the first liaison to the Biological and Chemical Defense Directorate at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). She has been recognized for her leadership across the U.S. federal government, specifically for efforts to coordinate across the DoD as part of the interagency Nonproliferation and Arms Control Technology Working Group, reporting to the National Security Council (NSC), and as member of the interagency federal group charged with leading the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). Kosal was nominated to and led the U.S. involvement in the NATO Nanotechnology for Defense Working Group.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHer awards include the 2015 CETL\/BP Junior Faculty Teaching Excellence Award, 2014 Georgia Tech Junior Faculty Outstanding Undergraduate Research Mentor Award, 2012 Ivan Allen Jr Legacy Award, 2010 INTAGO Faculty Award, CETL Class of 1969 Teaching Scholar, the OSD Award for Excellence, 2007 UIUC Alumni Association Recent Alumni Award, the President\u0026rsquo;s Volunteer Service Award, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Defense Policy Fellow, and the Society of Porphyrins and Phthalocyanines Dissertation Research Award.

However, limitations related to cell maturation, vascularization, cellular fidelity and inter-organ communication still remain. Relying on an engineering approach, microfluidics and microfabrication techniques our laboratory has developed new technologies aimed at overcoming them.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESince native heart tissue is unable to regenerate after injury, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) represent a promising source for human cardiomyocytes. Here, biological wire (Biowire) technology will be described, developed to specifically enhance maturation levels of hPSC based cardiac tissues, by controlling tissue geometry and electrical field stimulation regime (Nunes et al Nature Methods 2013). We will describe new applications of the Biowire technology in engineering a specifically atrial and specifically ventricular cardiac tissues, safety testing of small molecule kinase inhibitors, potential new cancer drugs, and modelling of left ventricular hypertrophy using patient derived cells.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor probing of more complex physiological questions, dependent on the flow of culture media or blood, incorporation of vasculature is required, most commonly performed in organ-on-a-chip devices. Current organ-on-a-chip devices are limited by the presence of non-physiological materials such as glass and drug-absorbing PDMS as well as the necessity for specialized equipment such as vacuum lines and fluid pumps that inherently limit their throughput. An overview of two new technologies, AngioChip (Zhang et al Nature Materials 2016) and inVADE (Lai et al Advanced Functional Materials 2017) will be presented, that overcome the noted limitations and enable engineering of vascularized liver, vascularized heart tissues and studies of cancer metastasis. These platforms enable facile operation and imaging in a set-up resembling a 96-well plate. Using polymer engineering, we were able to marry two seemingly opposing criteria in these platforms, permeability and mechanical stability, to engineer vasculature suitable for biological discovery and direct surgical anastomosis to the host vasculature.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFinally, to enable minimally invasive delivery of engineered tissues into the body, a new shape-memory scaffold was developed that enables delivery of fully functional tissues on the heart, liver and aorta through a keyhole surgery (Montgomery et al Nature Materials 2017).\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nBIOGRAPHY\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nMilica Radisic, Ph.D., is a Professor at the University of Toronto, Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in Functional Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering and a Senior Scientist at the Toronto General Research Institute.

The small size of these materials allows them to carry drugs and travel selectively to tumors, or to transform external stimuli such as light or magnetism into heat to kill cancer cells, or even to be used as sensitive gas-sensors to detect from the breath volatile organic species associated to diseases (e.g. acetone for diabetes), just to name a few examples. Such nanoparticles are usually made by gas- or liquid-phase bottom-up or top-down processes, while nanoparticle films or coatings on surfaces are made by stochastic self-assembly of particles on substrates. Studies using such nanomaterials have given us a good understanding on how physicochemical properties influence their biointeractions.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHowever, very few of these exciting discoveries are translated to commercial medical products today. The main reasons for this are two inherent limitations of most nanomanufacture processes: scalability and reproducibility. There is too little knowledge on how well the unique properties associated with nanoparticles are maintained during their large-scale production while often poor reproducibility hinders their successful use. In this talk, I will discuss how we can utilize a nanomanufacture process famous for its scalability and reproducibility, flame aerosol reactors that produce at tons\/hr commodity powders, and advance the knowledge for synthesis of complex nanoparticles and their direct integration in medical devices. Specifically, we will focus on how flame nanomaterial engineering facilitates the fabrication of multifunctional nanoparticles and devices for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications including, but not limited to, bacterial infections and antimicrobial resistance.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nBIOGRAPHY\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nGeorgios A.

His lab\u0026rsquo;s mission at KI is to develop biomaterials, devices, tools and methods for medicine using core material and process engineering. The main target of his research program is to address societal and clinical needs by developing the next generation of nano-enabled molecular diagnostic and therapeutic (theranostic) systems towards their employment in personalized nanomedicine. The focus lies on nanoparticle-biomolecule conjugates for their integration in functional systems exploiting both the responsive properties of nanomaterials in the presence of target analytes but also external stimuli, acting as transducer elements towards the diagnosis and on-demand therapeutic interventions.

Contemporary restorative treatments for retinal dysfunction have introduced stem-like cells (STLCs) into damaged tissue as replacements to re-establish synaptic connectivity needed for vision. In an idealized model, groups of STLCs recapitulate developmental behavior and migrate collectively toward precise injury sites along concentration profiles of biological factors. In truth, poor migration and positioning of transplanted STLCs have greatly limited the synaptic STLC integration needed to advance vision-restorative therapies.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe coordinated migratory processes of donor STLCs into host retinal laminae are only partially-understood. Our laboratory examines the migration of STLCs within microscale environments that mimic, both, developing retina and degenerated retina in order to quantitatively evaluate the cell signaling that leads to directional motility. Our experimental models use combinatory physiochemical signals and electric fields to recapitulate the STLC migratory responses and connectivity employed during retinogenesis in vitro and stimulate these desired behaviors in future cell replacement therapy.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nBIOGRAPHY\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nMaribel Vazquez is a Founding Member of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at CCNY, established in 2002 by a team of 4 faculty who worked tirelessly to develop the new undergraduate curriculum and program.

A key bottleneck is to identify the critical subpopulation of cells, often at single cell resolution among billions of cells in circulation. Along with the aforementioned in vitro on-chip perfused vascularized tissue platforms, these two technologies go hand-in-hand to connect in vitro screening to in vivo screening with great potential in the development of personalized medicine. \u0026nbsp;Ultimately this is the microfluidic maintenance of physiological equilibrium, or \u0026lsquo;microfluidic homeostasis\u0026rsquo;.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBIO\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nAbraham (Abe) P.

Prior to his current appointment, he was a Postdoctoral Associate in the David H. Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT, where he developed biomimetic microsystems for probing nanoparticle behaviors in the inflamed endothelium and for synthesizing therapeutic and diagnostic nanomaterials. His doctorate research at CMU focused on closed-loop microfluidic control systems for lab-on-a-chip applications to biochemistry and developmental biology. Prior to his Ph.D., he was a researcher in areas of dynamics, controls, and robotics at R\u0026amp;D Divisions of Hyundai-Kia Motors and Samsung Electronics for 6 years.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EResearch:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nKim\u0026rsquo;s research focuses on developing biomimetic microsystems that reconstitute organ-level functions on chip and integrative control systems that allow large-scale production of therapeutic and diagnostic bio\/nanomaterials. His lab develops experimental control systems and micro\/millifluidic platforms, and employs computer-aided engineering to understand: (1) how cells coordinate responses to signaling cues in multicellular environments; (2) how bio\/nanomaterials assemble and break in dynamically controlled fluid flows; and (3) how biological systems interact with nanomaterials with varied physicochemical properties.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOrgans-on-chips that mimic the characteristics of human organs are enabling scientists to predict more accurately how effective therapeutic drug candidates would be in clinical studies without serious adverse effects and to address how multiple cells coordinate organizational decisions in response to complicated signaling cascades. Dr. Kim\u0026rsquo;s lab builds valid artificial organ-on-a-chip systems by manipulating 3D extracellular environments in time and space, utilizing the expertise in microfabrication, miniaturization, robotics, and control systems engineering, and understanding the human body\u0026rsquo;s fundamental physiological responses to mechanochemical cues. This research will help examine the behavior and interaction of multifunctional nanomaterials with biologically relevant microenvironments for rapid clinical translation of nanomedicine, thereby bringing drugs to market more quickly and perhaps even eliminate the need for animal testing.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAdvanced treatment of diseases such as cancer and atherosclerosis needs controlled delivery of multifunctional nanocarriers that contain multiple drugs that can target tumors with anti-angiogenic and cytostatic agents and a diversity of imaging agents that monitor the transport in the body. Optimized integration of manufacturing nanomaterials will contribute to advanced health technology not only because of rapid clinical translation of drugs but also due to reduction of any release of harmful byproducts. Dr. Kim\u0026rsquo;s lab designs and fabricates diverse microfluidic modules for diverse syntheses of multifunctional nanomaterials and integrates the modules to establish large-scale implementation of manufacturing processes scaled to economically and industrially relevant production level. The integrative system will facilitate good manufacturing practice (GMP) production and clinical translation in pharmaceutical and biomedical industry and enable reproducible and controlled synthesis of nanoparticles at scales suitable for rapid clinical development and commercialization.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Microengineered Physiological Systems for Disease Modeling and Nanomedicine Testing\u0022 - YongTae (Tony) Kim, Ph.D. - Georgia Tech"}],"uid":"27195","created_gmt":"2018-05-09 18:46:48","changed_gmt":"2018-08-16 16:16:48","author":"Colly Mitchell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-09-11T09:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2018-09-11T10:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-09-11T10:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-09-11 13:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-09-11 14:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-09-11 14:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"595880":{"id":"595880","type":"image","title":"Petit Institute Breakfast Club Seminar Series","body":null,"created":"1505321122","gmt_created":"2017-09-13 16:45:22","changed":"1505321122","gmt_changed":"2017-09-13 16:45:22","alt":"","file":{"fid":"227095","name":"breakfast-club-2017.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/breakfast-club-2017.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/breakfast-club-2017.png","mime":"image\/png","size":4915264,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/breakfast-club-2017.png?itok=BkT6wOEh"}}},"media_ids":["595880"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.mbmn.gatech.edu\/","title":"Kim lab website"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.

As examples, arteries dilate in response to sustained increases in blood flow and they thicken in response to sustained increases in blood pressure, both of which tend to restore hemodynamically imposed stresses towards homeostatic values. Presented here is a general theoretical framework for modeling mechanobiologically-driven adaptations to altered hemodynamics that can also be used to capture diverse cases of vascular maladaptations and disease progression. Basic computational simulations show that a constrained mixture framework can yield emergent evolving responses of vessels that are consistent with experimental findings and clinical observations in diverse cases of vascular adaptation or disease progression. The primary challenge as we move forward is to collect appropriate mechanobiological and immunobiological data that will allow us to refine the constitutive assumptions as we consider increasingly more detailed situations, particularly in cases of genetic mutations that give rise to vascular conditions and innovations for improving disease treatment.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nBio:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nJ.D.

Since 2013, ZIKV has spread rapidly across the globe, infecting thousands of pregnant women and hundreds of thousands of the general population in several countries. Given ZIKV is transmitted both by sexual contact and via the arthropod vectors Aedes spp., skin vaccinations effort may prove particularly advantageous as the skin serves as the first natural host barrier ZIKV would encounter. The need for a vaccine against ZIKV remains a critical international health issue, yet few studies seek to characterize ZIKV infections and dermal immune barriers, and even less investigate ZIKV cutaneous vaccination routes. Our group has demonstrated that cutaneous vaccination using whole Zika virus inactivated particles (ZVIP) delivered by microneedle patches (MN) display greater efficacy than traditional intramuscular (IM) vaccinations. Using an immune competent BALB\/c mouse model, we observed Zika virus pathogenesis can be monitored by clinical scoring methods specifically aimed toward ocular and motor\/neural symptoms, as ocular conjunctivitis and arthralgia are two of the more common symptoms of ZIKV infections. Our results demonstrate MN vaccinations with ZVIP generate a greater quality of antibody response, and confer greater protection against ocular and motor\/neural symptoms, infection, and tissue damage compared to IM vaccinations. This appears true for MN vaccinations in both a prime only, and a prime\/boost vaccine course. Given that ZIKV has shown a proclivity for immune privileged compartments, such as the eyes, brain, and spinal cord; the development of a safe and protective vaccine against ZIKV should demonstrate protection for these three compartments, while minimizing the risk of auto-reactive antibodies that lead to nervous system damage and GBS.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Zika Virus Microneedle Vaccination Confers Long-term Protection to Immune Privileged Compartments\u0022 - Ioanna Skountzou, M.D., Ph.D. - Emory University School of Medicine, and Jacob Beaver, Emory University"}],"uid":"27195","created_gmt":"2018-06-15 13:29:20","changed_gmt":"2018-06-15 13:29:20","author":"Colly Mitchell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-06-19T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2018-06-19T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-06-19T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-06-19 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-06-19 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-06-19 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.microbiology.emory.edu\/faculty\/research\/skountzou_ioanna.html","title":"Skountzou profile"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.biomed.emory.edu\/PROGRAM_SITES\/MMG\/guides\/students.html","title":"Beaver profile"},{"url":"http:\/\/petitinstitute.gatech.edu\/","title":"Petit Institute website"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.

In the changing post-Cold War environment, the most advanced military power no longer guarantees national or international security in a globalized world in which an increasing number of nation-states and non-state actors have access to new and potentially devastating dual-use capabilities. The long-term goals of her work are to understand the underlying drivers of technological innovation and how technology affects national security and modern warfare. She is interested in both the scholarly, theoretical level discourse and in the development of new strategic approaches and executable policy options to enable US dominance and to limit the proliferation of unconventional weapons.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOn the question of understanding the impact of emerging technology on national and international security her research considers what role will nanotechnology, cognitive science, biotechnology, and converging sciences have on states, non-state actors, balance of power, deterrence postures, security doctrines, nonproliferation regimes, and programmatic choices. Through examination of these real applications on the science (benign and defensive) and potential (notional) offensive uses of nanotechnology, she seeks to develop a model to probe the security implications of this emerging technology. The goal of the research is not to predict new specific technologies but to develop a robust analytical framework for assessing the impact of new technology on national and international security and identifying policy measures to prevent or slow proliferation of new technology - the next generation \u0026ldquo;WMD\u0026rdquo; - for malfeasant intentions.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EKosal is the author of Nanotechnology for Chemical and Biological Defense (Springer Academic Publishers, 2009), which explores scenarios and strategies regarding the benefits and potential proliferation threats of nanotechnology and other emerging sciences for international security.

Before joining the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, she was Science and Technology Advisor within the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD). Kosal also served as the first liaison to the Biological and Chemical Defense Directorate at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). She has been recognized for her leadership across the U.S. federal government, specifically for efforts to coordinate across the DoD as part of the interagency Nonproliferation and Arms Control Technology Working Group, reporting to the National Security Council (NSC), and as member of the interagency federal group charged with leading the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI).

To treat a particular disease via the immune system, it can be challenging to discover what the optimally protective immune response may be and then reliably achieve it. In part the challenge arises from the fact that the overall phenotype of an immune response includes contributions from many different cell subsets, including T cells, B cells, and antigen presenting cells, all of which interact complexly to generate an integrated response. We have been developing supramolecular materials, primarily comprised of peptides and proteins, which serve as modular platforms for discovering and eliciting clinically important immune responses by engaging and modulating this cellular diversity. In this seminar, several different self-assembling components will be described, including synthetic fibrillizing peptides, expressed proteins that can be induced to self-assemble after purification, and coiled coil nanofibers displaying immune epitopes. This class of materials has surprising self-adjuvanting properties, which we have recently exploited towards several clinical goals. In one example, we are developing novel treatments for chronic inflammation by creating biomaterials that can raise therapeutic levels of TNF-neutralizing antibodies.

Nutrient availability is among the most important signals to which cells respond. Importantly, nutrients are not only transmitted from outside an organism, i.e., by feeding, but are also transmitted from cell to cell and from tissue to tissue. Metabolic control of gene expression is critical to the maintenance of cellular longevity. Dysregulation of the nutritional control of gene expression underlies a series of conditions including nondetection of satiety, which can lead to obesity and diabetes, and diseases such as cancer. Our laboratory is engaged in several projects that dissect specific problems in the metabolic control of gene expression. In particular, we are interested in how changing environmental conditions lead to reversible transfer of two carbon, i.e. acetyl, and one carbon, i.e. methyl, groups to proteins and DNA, respectively. These processes are fundamentally important because two carbon transfers link carbohydrate and fat metabolism to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) biosynthesis and because one carbon transfers link the folate cycle and methionine biosynthesis to S-adenosyl methionine metabolism. Trainees in our group are engaged in interdisciplinary projects, performing protein purification, enzymology, structural biology, yeast and somatic cell genetics, genomics, and chemical biology.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Charles Brenner, Ph.D. - University of Iowa"}],"uid":"27195","created_gmt":"2018-04-30 16:24:50","changed_gmt":"2018-04-30 17:26:19","author":"Colly Mitchell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-05-08T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2018-05-08T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-05-08T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-05-08 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-05-08 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-05-08 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"605685":{"id":"605685","type":"image","title":"Charles Brenner, Ph.D. - University of Iowa","body":null,"created":"1525103819","gmt_created":"2018-04-30 15:56:59","changed":"1525103819","gmt_changed":"2018-04-30 15:56:59","alt":"","file":{"fid":"230956","name":"CharlesBrenner2.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/CharlesBrenner2.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/CharlesBrenner2.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":54787,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/CharlesBrenner2.jpg?itok=vJOd90-_"}}},"media_ids":["605685"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/brenner.lab.uiowa.edu\/","title":"Brenner lab website"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.

Specifically, his research focuses on fundamental structure-function relationships governing cell-biomaterials interactions for bone and muscle applications. Current projects involve the analysis and manipulation of cell adhesion receptors and their extracellular matrix ligands. For example, a mechanochemical system has been developed to analyze the contributions of receptor binding, clustering, and interactions with other cellular structural proteins to cell adhesion strength.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn another research thrust, bio-inspired surfaces, including micropatterned substrates, are engineered to control cell adhesion in order to direct signaling and cell function.

These biomolecular strategies are applicable to the development of 3D hybrid scaffolds for enhanced tissue reconstruction,\u0026quot;smart\u0026quot; biomaterials, and cell growth supports. Finally, genetic engineering approaches have been applied to engineer cells that form bone tissue for use in the development of mineralized templates for enhanced bone repair.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Andr\u00e9s Garc\u00eda, Ph.D. - Georgia Tech"}],"uid":"27195","created_gmt":"2018-04-30 16:10:08","changed_gmt":"2018-04-30 17:07:32","author":"Colly Mitchell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-05-21T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2018-05-21T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-05-21T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-05-21 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-05-21 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-05-21 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"605687":{"id":"605687","type":"image","title":"Andr\u00e9s Garc\u00eda, Ph.D. - Georgia Tech","body":null,"created":"1525103896","gmt_created":"2018-04-30 15:58:16","changed":"1525103896","gmt_changed":"2018-04-30 15:58:16","alt":"","file":{"fid":"230958","name":"Andres Garcia-headshot 2013small.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Andres%20Garcia-headshot%202013small.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Andres%20Garcia-headshot%202013small.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":5695,"path_740":"http:\/\/tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Andres%20Garcia-headshot%202013small.jpg?itok=Eg1q3THt"}}},"media_ids":["605687"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/garcialab.gatech.edu\/","title":"Garc\u00eda lab website"}],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.

The mutations observed in tumor cells and all other recognized hallmarks of cancer are considered downstream epiphenomena of the initial disturbance of cellular energy metabolism. The disturbances in tumor cell energy metabolism can be linked to abnormalities in the structure and function of the mitochondria. Cancer growth and progression can be managed following a whole-body transition from fermentable metabolites, primarily glucose and glutamine, to respiratory metabolites, primarily ketone bodies. Calorie restricted ketogenic diets can lower circulating glucose and elevate ketone bodies. The metabolic transition from glucose to ketone bodies will reduce tumor angiogenesis and inflammation while enhancing tumor cell apoptosis.

These include electric and magnetic elds, temperature, ultrasound and light, to introduce compounds into cells, release molecular species from cells, or to selectively induce apoptosis or necrosis. It was not until recently that scientists started exploiting molecular motors and switches that can change their conformations in a controlled manner upon external stimuli, to produce useful work for biomedical applications. In this talk we show that nanomechanical action can be used to open cellular membranes by association of molecular motors with lipid bilayers, and then activating the motors with light. Using precisely designed molecular motors and complementary experimental protocols, nanomechanical action can (a) induce the diffusion of analytes out of synthetic vesicles, (b) enhance diffusion of traceable molecular machines into and within live cells, (c) induce necrosis, (d) introduce analytes into live cells, and (e) be selectively targeted to speci c live cell-surface recognition sites through nanomachines bearing short peptide addends. While this was initially demonstrated with UV light, other sources of light are being considered including visible, 2-photon near IR, and Cherenkov-emitted light for deep tissue use.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Molecular Machines Kill Cells by Drilling Holes in the Lipid Bilayers\u0022 - James M.

The POC can be a home, primary care office, clinic, or other location, provided that the technology enables task shifting from a more to a less sophisticated setting. Examples of tools and technologies that could achieve these goals include mobile and online health solutions, wearable devices for diagnosis and monitoring of diseases, portable diagnostic and screening devices, management and analysis methods for large data sets, methods to protect patient privacy, and studies of the interplay between clinical decision-making and test development.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nIn the past 5 years we have watched the coming of age of young people who view health information differently than their parents and grandparents. Young adults are more likely to use retail health clinics, are more likely to act on health information they get from the internet, are more likely to delay or avoid medical care due to concerns over cost and are more likely to use wearable health sensors in conjunction to with online apps. Younger adults are primed to seek healthcare in minute clinics and to trust POC tests they purchase at the pharmacy and take and interpret at home. An on-demand healthcare market is emerging. \u0026nbsp;POC tests and associated technologies are poised to fill this demand.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn the Klapperich Laboratory, we develop new technologies to fill these needs and emerging demands in the healthcare marketplace. We have largely focused our efforts on sexually transmitted infections (STI), including HIV. In this talk, I will discuss current work in the lab on tests to diagnose STIs, screen for cervical cancer and monitor patients on pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV (PrEP). I will also invite the audience to think about how POC tests integrate into the current healthcare landscape. Questions include how can we increase access so that more people will benefit from these new treatments and medicines? How can we improve healthcare delivery to impact the most patients? \u0026nbsp;What actions can we take in early development to ensure that these new technologies do not worsen health disparities?\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EBIO\u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nCatherine Klapperich is the Associate Dean for Research in the College of Engineering the Director of the NIBIB POCTRN Center for Future Technologies in Cancer Care (CFTCC) at Boston University.

But the requirement for external illumination definitely precludes its universal application because it can induce problems including photobleaching, photodamage and the unintended activation of other light-responsive proteins. Bioluminescence caused by chemical reaction by luciferase is an alternative to fluorescence because it does not require an excitation light. One big problem in the application of luciferase to bioimaging was dim brightness and lack of color variation. To overcome this drawback, we developed super-duper chemiluminescent proteins (Nano-lantern series) by hybrid of a luciferase with various color variant of fluorescent proteins with very efficient BRET (bioluminescence resonance energy transfer). In addition, we applied these Nano-lanterns to design Ca2+, cAMP, and ATP indicators, thereby succeeded imaging these bioactive molecules in environments where fluorescent indicators have failed. One notable application of this imaging modality is simultaneous use with multi-color optogenetics that is now essential tools for neuroscience. These chemiluminescent probes will revolutionize conventional bioimaging by allowing visualization of biological phenomena not seen before at the single-cell, organ, and whole-body level, in animals and plants. Furthermore, we made brightly and colorfully chemiluminescent plants (Marchantia) by introduction of genes for Nano-lanterns. These glowing plants would be used in future for lighting the way of town as well as the interior of house without consumption of electrical energy.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cem\u003ERepresentative publications \u003C\/em\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n1.

In this talk, we will cover a number of high-level applications in which our group has gathered evidence to show that this technique has a promising future in the clinical workflow.

Well recognized for its role as a protein prosthetic group, more recent genetic and biochemical evidence indicate heme can act as a dynamic signaling molecule. Due to the cytoxicity associated with free or misregulated heme, the bioavailable heme pool utilized for signaling is tightly regulated and buffered to low levels, making heme acquisition and heme dependent signaling reliant on the ability to safely mobilize heme. However, the factors involved in mobilizing heme have remained poorly understood. Recently, utilizing our novel heme sensor technology, we revealed that heme is a highly dynamic molecule that is regulated by cell cycle and that nitric oxide (NO), a well-established and ubiquitous signaling molecule, mobilizes cytosolic and nuclear heme pools. Additionally, we discovered that under Pb stress the regulatory heme pool increases while total heme is diminished. Having identified several physiological and pathophysiogical conditions that mobilize labile heme, in collaboration with Prof. Matt Torres, we are now developing mass spectrometry-based techniques to identify proteins that bind and release heme in these contexts to define new heme signaling networks.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nReferences:\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n[1] \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;Hanna DA, Harvey RM, Martinez-Guzman O, Yuan X, Chandrasekharan B, Raju G, Outten FW, Hamza I, and Reddi AR.

Infectious diseases and bioterrorism might seem unrelated\u0026mdash;but both have enormous potential to threaten human health and economic stability. A deep understanding of biological systems, along with the ability to predict and control their behaviors, is critical not only for strengthening our nation\u0026rsquo;s defense against biothreats, but for ensuring energy security and protecting our environment as well. To protect the nation and world from biological threats, Sandia researchers conduct basic and applied research to develop environmental threat detectors, medical diagnostics systems, therapeutics, engineered nanoparticles to deliver vaccines and antibiotics and more. Many of our patented (and patent-pending) innovations have been licensed to companies for development of commercial devices and vaccines. Sandia routinely partners with other organizations to help transition scientific discoveries and technologies to the marketplace. Sandia also forms collaborative research partnerships with industry, universities, and government agencies to collectively solve the nation\u0026rsquo;s toughest science and technology problems.

The fundamental challenge is different for the biological materials scientist. In the case of the synthetic material, one has a fair degree of control over the microscopic scale and hopes to achieve a set ofmacroscopic properties through appropriate manipulations (e.g., changing the composition). For the tissue, however, we have little if any control over the microstructure and instead hope to understand how that structure forms and varies, and how such variations lead to function or dysfunction of the tissue. In our group, we use a multiscale modeling framework in conjunction with characterization experiments that interrogate both the structure and the macro-scale properties of a tissue, with application to tissues of cardiovascular and musculoskeletal system. Of particular interest of late has been the problem of predicting tissue failure, and our experiences attempting to predict failure of aortic wall under a wide range of loading configurations will be presented and discussed, showing experimental results and assessing the performance of a multiscale model of tissue mechanics.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cem\u003EThe Bioengineering Seminar Series is co-hosted by the Parker H.

Induced at the neural plate border, neural crest cells detach from the neuroepithelium and migrate extensively to different parts of the embryo and give rise to multiple tissue and organs including neurons and glia, bones and cartilage, and pigment cells. Both the behavior of neural crest cells and signaling molecules in neural crest development are similar to that of metastatic cancer. In fact, dysregulation of neural crest development results in multiple cancer, including neuroblastoma, glioblastoma, and melanoma.

These interactions provide essential services to humans and ecosystems by transforming chemicals, for example through the consumption of greenhouse gases, detoxification, and nutrient cycling. \u0026nbsp;The diversity and physiology of microbiomes are also driven by chemicals, including compounds that act as signals or weapons in microbial social interactions.

While multiple centers, testing this and other targets, have replicated these initial positive findings, pivotal industry clinical trials have proven unsuccessful.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EStrategies to understand these contradictory outcomes are now a priority in the field, particularly with continued interest in development of more advanced invasive neurotechnologies for depression and other treatment refractory neuropsychiatric disorders. Given emerging evidence of sustained long-term positive outcomes despite short term failed trials, a systematic assessment of variables contributing to the observed response heterogeneity are critically needed.\u0026nbsp;To this end, the refinement of DBS of the subcallosal cingulate (SCC) for TRD is illustrative.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EUntil recently, surgical implantation of DBS electrodes relied on high resolution structural images to localize the SCC grey matter-white matter border followed by trial-and-error behavioral testing of chronic stimulation at individual contacts. Clinical response however, may be optimized by more precise targeting along specific white matter tracts, as evidenced by recent diffusion tensor imaging and tractography analyses of DBS responders and non-responders. Based on these retrospective findings, standardization of the surgical procedure has now been improved by use of individualized maps to prospectively guide electrode targeting. The use of close clinical monitoring and systematic long-term follow-up using small experimental cohorts outside of industry-sponsored trials has further provided new perspectives on the time course, trajectory and sustainability of DBS-mediated effects. Next-generation devices additional allow ongoing recordings of local field potentials during acute and chronic stimulation enabling real-time electrophysiological measurements of the time course, trajectory and sustainability of DBS-mediated antidepressant effects.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis strategic integration of combined multimodal neuroimaging, behavioral and neural recordings offers a unique opportunity to link first person experiences to changes in measurable physiological biomarkers.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Iterative Strategies to Refine and Optimize Deep Brain Stimulation for Depression\u0022 - Helen Mayberg, Ph.D., Emory University"}],"uid":"27561","created_gmt":"2017-09-19 18:32:04","changed_gmt":"2017-10-23 14:25:01","author":"Angela Ayers","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2017-10-23T12:15:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2017-10-23T13:15:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2017-10-23T13:15:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2017-10-23 16:15:00","gmt_time_end":"2017-10-23 17:15:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2017-10-23 17:15:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1292","name":"Parker H.
