Current activities in the Hwa lab are in the area of quantitative and systemic biology. This is an emerging area of research at the interface of biology, biochemistry, engineering, and physics.
MOLLY SHOICHET, UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO
The Shoichet lab's research program requires a cross disciplinary approach where aspects of engineering, chemistry, and biology are applied to the fields of Regenerative Medicine, Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery. They have become very interested in drug discovery, drug screening and drug delivery in cancer.
FAN YANG, DEPARTMENTS OF ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY AND OF BIOENGINEERING
Attend Dr. Yang's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. Molly Shoichet's seminar, "3 cancer stories – from colloidal drug aggregates to 3D cell culture to targeted delivery", to be held Thursday, November 3rd.
THE BIO-X FELLOWS SYMPOSIUM CELEBRATES OUR BIO-X FELLOWS AND THEIR RESEARCH ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Several Fellows will give presentations on their research and accomplishments in the Clark Center Auditorium, followed by a poster session.
BETH STEVENS, BOSTON CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL AND HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL
One of the major unsolved mysteries in neuroscience is how synapses are eliminated in the developing and diseased brain. During development synaptic pruning is required for precise brain wiring; however the mechanisms that drive the elimination of specific synapses remain elusive. Emerging evidence implicates resident phagocytes called microglia, and molecules traditionally associated with the immune system.
DAVID PRINCE, DEPARTMENT OF NEUROLOGY & NEUROLOGICAL SCIENCES
Attend Dr. Prince's pre-seminar presentation, "To prune or not to prune?", to learn more about Dr. Beth Stevens's seminar, "How Microglia Prune Synapses in Health & Disease", to be held Thursday, October 6th.

A personal talk about what scientists owe the public, why they fall short so often, and how the press can do a better job of telling their story.
The symposium is co-sponsored by the Bio-X Program at Stanford University and the Alliance for Design & Application in Tissue Engineering (ADATE) led by the University of Sydney. The program will feature multiple invited talks, a session of contributed short talks from students and postdocs, a thematic poster reception, and a biotechnology entrepreneurship panel.
The goal of the symposium is to expose and educate scientists spanning a wide variety of disciplines about the advances being made in the field of tissue engineering. The Symposium aims to attract students, postdocs, and faculty from many disciplines in Biology, Engineering, Medicine, and Chemistry from Stanford and our sister institutions in the Bay Area, including UCSF and UC-Berkeley as well as attendees from local biotech industry and our Australian guests.
