SOPHIE DUMONT, UC SAN FRANCISCO
The Dumont Lab is interested in how cells coordinate mechanical and chemical activities to accurately segregate chromosomes during cell division.
JEFF TZA-HUEI WANG, JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY
Dr. Wang’s group has developed highly sensitive, quantitative and clinically relevant technologies for analysis of genomic markers based on the convergence of SMS, microfluidic manipulations, and quantum dots.
The Bio-X Leadership Council is pleased to announce the 13th annual competition for Bio-X Graduate Student Fellowships and for Stanford Neurosciences Institute (SNI) and ChEM-H Fellowships.
Complete applications must be received by March 9, 2016 at 5:00 pm PST.
JOSEPH LIAO, DEPARTMENT OF UROLOGY
Attend Dr. Liao's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. Jeff Tza-Huei Wang's seminar, "Discerning Rare Disease Biomarkers by Micro- and Nanotechnologies", to be held Thursday, March 10th.
JOIN US FOR OUR INTERDISCIPLINARY INITIATIVES SEED GRANTS PROGRAM SYMPOSIUM!
A symposium in the Clark Auditorium of presentations by Seed Grant awardees describing their research will be followed by a reception in Nexus Café. All are welcome.
The main focus of the Cai group is single cell systems biology. They use super-resolution and live cell microscopy to study gene regulatory networks in cells and organisms.
Over the past decade, Dr. Schaffer's group initially developed and has been implementing directed vector evolution as a high throughput approach to engineer adeno-associated virus (AAV) variants with novel properties, including enhanced biodistribution and spread, targeted delivery to specific cells such as stem cells or their neighbors, and gene editing within a cell. This talk will discuss directed evolution of novel and biomedically relevant AAV variants, as well as the application of gene delivery technologies to investigate cells and stem cells in the nervous system.
MICHAEL LIN, DEPARTMENTS OF NEUROBIOLOGY AND BIOENGINEERING
Attend Dr. Lin's pre-seminar presentation to learn more about Dr. David Schaffer's seminar, "Novel Technologies to Investigate the Neural Stem Cell Niche", to be held Thursday, February 11th.
ARJUN RAJ, UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
The Raj lab is interested in building a quantitative understanding of cellular function. They like to develop new tools for quantifying biological processes based on imaging and sequencing and then use those techniques to help us answer questions in molecular and cellular biology.
How did chemistry give rise to life? The Chen lab studies principles of emergence and evolution of biomolecules by combining experiments and modeling.
