Stanford Bio-X would like to announce our call for applications for the Undergraduate Summer Research Program with funding available starting in the summer of 2020 (June 22nd through August 28th).
Complete applications must be received by December 2, 2019 at 5:00 pm PST. Short, five-minute interviews for the finalists will be conducted on December 5th and 6th.
RICHARD LIEBER, NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
Dr. Lieber’s work is characterized by its interdisciplinary nature—an approach that is relevant to those who study biomechanics and Orthopaedic Surgery. He has also pioneered studies of human muscle during hand surgery and in conditions of muscle contracture due to cerebral palsy.
JAMES SPUDICH, DEPARTMENT OF BIOCHEMISTRY
Attend Dr. Spudich's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. Richard Lieber's seminar, "Intraoperative and Laboratory Studies of Human Muscle Contractures", to be held Thursday, November 14th.
Sponsored by WISE Ventures, Office of Faculty Development, Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Education, and Bio-X.
JULIE POSSELT, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
This WISE Research Roundtable is one in a series of discussions with those whose research illuminates paths to advance equity in scientific and technical fields.
Faculty mentoring is a durable structure within doctoral education that facilitates intellectual growth, professional socialization, and progressive independence. This presentation will share findings from research focused on PhD students from marginalized backgrounds in science and engineering programs that, though located in top research universities, enrolled significantly higher shares of women or students of color than are found on average in those disciplines. Posselt finds clear patterns in how students conceptualize faculty support, associated with specific mentoring tactics that contributed to their persistence and well-being.
THE STANFORD BIO-X FELLOWS SYMPOSIUM CELEBRATES OUR STANFORD BIO-X FELLOWS AND THEIR RESEARCH ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Two Stanford Bio-X Fellows gave a presentation on their research and accomplishments in the Clark Center Auditorium, followed by a poster session.
R&D Career Panel: Industry Insights & Scientific Careers Path in Biotech
Join us for a career panel which will include 4 industry scientists.
TATIANA SEGURA, DUKE UNIVERSITY
Dr. Tatiana Segura's laboratory is interested designing therapies to treat stroke related disability, which are administered weeks to months after stroke. Their approach is to inject hydrogel biomaterial scaffolds into the stroke lesion that can remove the cytotoxic environment and allow pro-repair mechanisms to evolve. In this talk, Dr. Segura will focus on our efforts to design hyaluronic acid microporous annealed particle (HA-MAP) hydrogels to treat stroke related tissue loss.
SARAH HEILSHORN, DEPARTMENT OF MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING
Attend Dr. Heilshorn's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. Tatiana Segura's seminar, "Injection of Hyaluronic Acid Particle Hydrogels after Ischemic Stroke Dictates Phenotypic Changes in Astrocytes", to be held Thursday, October 3rd.
This workshop will provide a thorough introduction to cryoEM and related methodologies with an emphasis on single-particle analysis and reconstruction.
