STEFANO DI TALIA, DUKE UNIVERSITY
The Di Talia laboratory develops live imaging and computational methods to probe the dynamics of the signaling pathways that control cell division during development and regeneration. They aim to uncover the dynamical principles that ensure that embryonic development and regeneration are regulated in a reliable manner.
ADAM DEUTSCHBAUER, LAWRENCE BERKELEY NATIONAL LABORATORY
Adam Deutschbauer has a background in Microbial systems biology. As part of the Virtual Institute of Microbial Stress and Survival, he develops next-generation tools for microbial functional genomics. As the Biotechnology Component Deputy Director, he helps drive the development of experimental and computational approaches to develop models of microbial metabolism, gene regulation, and signal transduction.
BRENDAN HARLEY, UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
Dr. Harley's group develops biomaterials that replicate the dynamic, spatially-patterned, and heterogeneous microenvironment found in the tissues and organs of our body. They use this approach to generate new insight regarding how biomaterial cues can instruct cell responses in the context of development, disease, and regeneration. In this talk, Dr. Harley will describe a collagen biomaterial under development to address barriers preventing regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues such as orthopedic insertions and craniomaxillofacial bones.
FAN YANG, DEPARTMENTS OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND BIOENGINEERING
Attend Dr. Yang's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. Brendan Harley's seminar, "Towards building tissues: engineering complexity through biomaterial design", to be held Thursday, March 7th.
CLEMENS CABERNARD, UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
How developing organisms generate and maintain cells with specialized functions and fates is a fundamental problem in biology. The Cabernard lab is investigating asymmetric cell division (ACD), a process that generates cellular diversity. They are using Drosophila melanogaster neuroblasts, the neural stem cells in the fly as a model to study the molecular cell biology and mechanics of asymmetric stem cell division.
The Stanford Bio-X Leadership Council is pleased to announce the 16th annual competition for Stanford Bio-X Graduate Student Fellowships and for the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute and Stanford ChEM-H Fellowships.
Complete applications must be received by February 25, 2019 at 5:00 pm PST.
JOCHEN ZIMMER, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA
The Zimmer lab focuses on complex carbohydrates and how they are synthesized and deposited on the cell surface. Using the tools of structural and molecular biology, they study capsule and biofilm formation in bacteria, cell wall biosynthesis in plants, and extracellular matrix formation in vertebrates.
LYNETTE CEGELSKI, DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY
Attend Dr. Cegelski's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. Jochen Zimmer's seminar, "Sugary coats: Diverse mechanisms of complex carbohydrate secretion", to be held Thursday, February 14th.

STANLEY QI, DEPARTMENTS OF BIOENGINEERING AND CHEMICAL & SYSTEMS BIOLOGY
Dr. Qi is a pioneer in the CRISPR technology development for genome engineering. His research laboratory focuses on the bioengineering of genetics and cells. They are interested in developing genetic engineering technologies and exploring discovery-based synthetic biology for diverse applications, and explore how the human genome encodes functions, and how to rationally design genetic circuits for new therapeutics.
