• Stanford Bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar: Intraoperative and Laboratory Studies of Human Muscle Contractures

    Stanford bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar

    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.

  • WISE Research Roundtable: Normalizing Struggle: Effective Mentoring for Doctoral Students

    Normalizing Struggle: Effective Mentoring for Doctoral Students

    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.

  • Stanford Bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar: Injection of Hyaluronic Acid Particle Hydrogels after Ischemic Stroke Dictates Phenotypic Changes in Astrocytes

    Stanford bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar

    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.
