Reinterpreting the Genetic Code - Engineering and Probing Protein Behavior with Non-Canonical Amino Acids
Stanford bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar
Through the efforts of Dr. Tirrell's laboratory and others, the code has been "reinterpreted" in various ways to enable the participation of an expanded set of amino acids in cellular protein synthesis. These developments have provided a basis for powerful new approaches to protein design and to spatially and temporally resolved analysis of cellular processes.

JENNIFER ZALLEN, MEMORIAL SLOAN KETTERING CANCER CENTER
The Zallen lab is using molecular, genetic, and cell biological approaches to understand the machinery that directs morphogenetic events. An understanding of the cell rearrangements that occur during normal embryonic development will uncover general principles that build tissues and organs and can provide insight into how deranged versions of these processes contribute to human disease.

PAUL NURSE, THE FRANCIS CRICK INSTITUTE
The goals of Dr. Nurse's laboratory are to better understand the global cellular networks which regulate the eukaryotic cell cycle, cell form and cell growth. These cellular controls are fundamental to the growth, development and reproduction of all living organisms.

Frontiers in Quantitative Biology Seminar
The Gartner lab seeks to answer questions about how tissue structure forms and functions. They take a synthetic approach, building human tissues from the bottom-up, which allows them to measure and perturb the molecular and physical properties of individual cells, reconstitute them into living tissue, then observe their interactions to reveal the underlying "rules" guiding their collective behaviors.

Computational Model-Driven Design of Tissue Engineered Vascular Grafts
Stanford Bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar
The Fontan surgical procedure is used to treat children born with particular congenital heart defects, namely to provide a direct connection between the inferior vena cava and the right pulmonary artery. This procedure has proven successful in better oxygenating and delivering blood despite the absence of one ventricle. Tissue engineering promises to enable an improved vascular conduit and is in clinical trials in the USA. There is a need, however, to find an optimal scaffold design that can minimize possible post-operative complications.
