DARIA MOCHLY-ROSEN, DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL & SYSTEMS BIOLOGY
Dr. Daria Mochly-Rosen founded the SPARK program to provide a cost-effective model to generate proof of concept using industry standards. Since 2006, SPARK has advanced scores of new diagnostics and drugs to the clinic and commercial sectors and educated hundreds of faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and students on the translational process. Dr. Mochly-Rosen's research lab is a multi-disciplinary lab that includes chemists, biochemists, biologists and physician scientists. They develop pharmacological agents and apply them to understand molecular and cellular events under basal and disease conditions using in vitro, in culture and in vivo models.
SYLVAINE CASES, JOHNSON & JOHNSON INNOVATION
Dr. Cases's is the Vice President of Oncology Scientific Innovation at Johnson & Johnson Innovation in California. She has significant experience in the fields of cancer biology and metabolism, with more than 16 years in research and drug discovery in both pharma and biotech.
BOZHI TIAN, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
Recent studies have demonstrated that in addition to biochemical and genetic interactions, cellular systems also respond to biophysical cues, such as electrical, thermal, and mechanical signals. However, we only have limited tools that can introduce localized physical stimuli and/or sense cellular responses with high spatiotemporal resolution. Dr. Tian's group integrates material science with biophysics to study several semiconductor-based biointerfaces.
BIANXIAO CUI, DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY
Attend Dr. Cui's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. Bozhi Tian's seminar, "Physical biology at the semiconductor-enabled biointerfaces", to be held Thursday, October 4th.
