BME Faculty Search Seminar – Nova Pishesha
MS3153Exploiting Antigen Presentation Pathways for Precision Immune Engineering Dr. Nova Pishesha, Junior Fellow, Society of Fellows at Harvard University Current treatments for autoimmunity rely on general immunosuppression, which exposes patients to opportunistic infections. Hence, immunoregulatory modalities, which educate the immune system to induce antigen-specific tolerance are desirable. My doctoral research revolved around engineered red blood […]

Plasmon-enhanced Fluorescence Induced Stimulated Raman Scattering as Non-destructive Non-linear Optical Method in Nanobiosensing and Bioimaging
MC 331 5 King's College Rd, Toronto, ON, CanadaMohammad E. Khosroshahi Nanobiophotonics & Biomedical Research Laboratory, MIS-Electronics Inc., Richmond Hill, Canada Abstract This work describes the generation and observation of multi-wavelengths due to stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) from deep red to near-infrared (NIR) induced by plasmon-enhanced fluorescence (PEF) of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) conjugated gold nanoparticles (F-AuNP). The plasmonic solution was excited by […]

Polymer Nanoparticle Design and Delivery Strategies to Resolve Vascular Inflammation
Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research, Red Room, 160 College Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 3E1, CanadaDr. Laura Bracaglia, PhD Villanova University Polymer nanoparticles (NPs) can provide a safe and efficient delivery mechanism for therapy directly at specific tissues and cells, but achieving sufficient levels of NPs and therefore therapeutics in target tissues in humans has remained a barrier to the translation of this technology. The in vivo efficacy of polymeric […]
Carbon nanomaterials for cardiac regenerative medicine
Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research, Red Room, 160 College Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 3E1, CanadaDr. Sanjiv Dhingra, PhD University of Manitoba Abstract: Donor derived allogeneic stem cells including mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are being tested in animal studies and clinical trials for cardiac regeneration and repair. The outcome of initial studies was very encouraging and transplanted cells were safe in the recipient heart. However, […]
Following the Rabbit into Chemical Space
Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research, Red Room, 160 College Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 3E1, CanadaDr. Brian K. Shoichet, PhD University of California, San Francisco https://utoronto.zoom.us/j/86086638773 Meeting ID: 860 8663 8773 Passcode: 484696 Structure-based docking can be used to screen compound libraries for novel ligands. Recently, docking libraries have expanded from three million “in-stock” to over four billion make-on-demand (“tangible”) molecules. Docking these new libraries versus the dopamine, melatonin, and […]

Delivery of Biologics for Rotator Cuff Muscle Healing – Dr. Johnna Temenoff
Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research, Red Room, 160 College Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5S 3E1, CanadaSpeaker Dr. Johnna Temenoff, PhD Georgia Tech/Emory University Abstract After rotator cuff tendon tear, marked degeneration of the attached muscle is apparent clinically, with both fibrous and fatty infiltration of the tissue. Our laboratory is working on delivery strategies for biologics, including proteins and cells, that might slow or reverse this degeneration. In particular, our […]
