SUMMARY:Symmetry breaking and self-organization in living cells – Alexander Dunn
DESCRIPTION:Speaker\nAlexander Dunn\nAssociate Professor\nDepartment of Chemical Engineering\nStanford University \n\nAbstract\nLiving cells are the quintessential smart materials\, whose ability to move\, change shape\, and assemble into complex\, multicellular organisms ultimately stems from the molecular-scale interactions of their constituent protein components. How exactly nanoscale protein-protein interactions dictate the complex material and functional properties of cells and tissues remains incompletely understood. In this talk I will discuss how symmetry-breaking events involving cellular adhesion and cytoskeletal proteins can potentially yield long-range structural organization in muscle and other tissues. In addition\, I will describe how the machinery that powers movement in the unicellular human parasite Toxoplasma can be understood using approaches adapted from active matter theory. In combination\, these and other\, evolving projects in the laboratory point toward an emerging understanding of how different forms of molecular-scale self-organization may govern the emergence of structure and order in cells and tissues. \n\nHost\nRodrigo Fernandez-Gonzalez

SUMMARY:TBEP Research Seminar (Dr. Sheng Xu): Wearable ultrasound technology for monitoring deep tissues
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sheng Xu (University of California San Diego\, Associate Professor and Jacobs Faculty Scholar) will demonstrate a soft ultrasonic technology that can noninvasively and continuously acquire dynamic information about deep tissues and central organs. He will also showcase examples of this technology’s use in recording blood pressure and flow waveforms in central vessels\, monitoring cardiac chamber activities\, and measuring core body temperatures. The soft ultrasonic technology presented represents a platform with vast potential for applications in consumer electronics\, defense medicine\, and clinical practices.

SUMMARY:Graduate Student Seminar Series - Hannah Van Lankveld
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: WB116\nPresentation Title: Physiological Effect of Non-invasive Photobiomodulation in the Healthy Human Brain\nAbstract: Transcranial Photobiomodulation (tPBM) is the application of low levels of red or near infrared (NIR) light to stimulate neural tissues. Investigations suggest tPBM could potentially address various brain conditions\, including neurodegenerative diseases. However\, determination of the optimum set of parameters such as power density\, wavelengths and pulse frequencies would improve outcomes further. This study takes an important step to overcome this shortfall by investigating the brain response to stimulation with different power densities\, pulse frequencies and wavelengths\, mapping with BOLD fMRI.\nSupervisor Name: Dr. Jean Chen & Dr. Hai-Ling Cheng\nYear of Study: 2\nProgram of Study: PhD\nPowered by Calendly.com
