DESCRIPTION:Graduate Student Seminar Series\nPlease ensure you invite your Principal Investigator by adding their email via the ‘Add Guest’ button and they will also be notified of your presentation.\nLocation: HS610 – 155 College St\, Room 610\nPresentation Title: ReSCU-Nets: Recurrent U-Nets for segmentation of timelapse microscopy data\nAbstract: Segmenting multi-dimensional microscopy data requires high accuracy across many images (e.g. timepoints or Z slices) and is thus a labour-intensive part of biological image processing pipelines. We present ReSCU-Nets\, recurrent convolutional neural networks that use the segmentation results from the previous frame as a prompt to segment the current frame. We demonstrate that ReSCU-Nets outperform state-of-the-art image segmentation models in different segmentation tasks on time-lapse microscopy sequences.\nSupervisor Name: Rodrigo Fernandez-Gonzalez\nYear of Study: 3\nProgram of Study: MASc\nPowered by Calendly.com

SUMMARY:Designer materials for biofabrication of human tissue mimic - Sarah Heilshorn
DESCRIPTION:Speaker\nSarah Heilshorn\nProfessor \nMaterials Science and Engineering\nStanford University \n\nAbstract\nDuring development and disease\, a cell’s behavior is directly influenced by its surrounding microenvironment. Thus\, when designing patient-derived organoid models\, ideally each tissue type would be cultured in its own customizable biomaterial that matches the specific developmental stage or disease state found in vivo. To fulfill this need\, my lab designs bespoke biomaterials that can be tailored to fit a range of applications. In one demonstration\, I present a family of dynamic biomaterials that support the growth of patient-derived pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) organoids. Through control of the matrix\, we find that PDAC becomes significantly more chemoresistant in response to mechanosignaling through CD44 receptors. Excitingly\, this chemoresistance is reversible\, with PDAC regaining sensitivity to frontline chemotherapy upon softening of the matrix. In a second example\, I present a new “pick-and-place” 3D-bioprinting strategy for the spatial positioning of neural organoids within a dynamic support matrix. Using this method\, we can fabricate large tissue structures composed of multiple organoids that fuse together. We demonstrate potential applications in the fabrication of neural “assembloids” composed of dorsal- and ventral-patterned neural organoids together with patient-derived brain cancer spheroids. We envision that these two technologies will be used together in the future to create personalized tissue models of individual patients. \nBiography \nSarah Heilshorn is Professor and Associate Chair in the Materials Science & Engineering Department at Stanford University and the Director of the Geballe Laboratory for Advanced Materials\, an independent research institute at Stanford. She holds courtesy faculty appointments in the Departments of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering and is a Bass University Fellow in Undergraduate Education. Her laboratory integrates concepts from materials science and protein engineering to design new\, bioinspired materials. These materials have applications in regenerative medicine\, organoid culture\, and 3D bioprinting. Prof. Heilshorn is a fervent supporter of diversifying the engineering community and serves in multiple leadership roles to help achieve this goal. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering. She currently serves as an Editor of Acta Biomaterialia and on the Board of Directors for the Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine International Society (TERMIS).
