Stanford Bio-X Seminar: David Veesler - "Structural studies of coronavirus fusion glycoproteins"
Stanford Bio-X Seminar
David Veesler, Assistant Professor of Biochemistry, University of Washington
Coronavirus spike (S) glycoprotein trimers promote entry into cells and are the main targets of the humoral immune response. We demonstrated that ACE2 is a functional entry receptor for this novel coronavirus and that the receptorbinding domains of SARS-CoV-2 S and SARS-CoV S bind with similar affinities to ACE2, which correlates with the efficient spread of SARS-CoV-2 among humans.

CANCELED - Frontiers in Quantitative Biology Seminar
Frontiers in Quantitative Biology Seminar
CASSANDRA EXTAVOUR, HARVARD UNIVERSITY
The Extavour Lab is a collection of developmental biologists, molecular biologists, geneticists, cell biologists, zoologists, and evolutionary biologists. Their shared interest is in the evolution of the genetic mechanisms employed during early animal embryogenesis to specify cell fate, development and differentiation. They focus primarily on the evolution and development of reproductive systems, including both the germ line and the somatic components of the gonad.

Stanford Bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar: Genetic Insight into Neurodegenerative Disease from Drosophila - via Zoom
Stanford bio-X Frontiers in Interdisciplinary Biosciences Seminar - VIA ZOOM
NANCY BONINI, UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
The Bonini lab specializes in using the genetically tractable model organism, Drosophila, as a tool to understand the molecular basis of disease and disorder of the brain, with a particular focus on degenerative processes including ALS/FTD, TBI and aging. They implement cutting-edge genetic, molecular and cellular approaches to develop and characterize models of these processes to study their molecular basis, with an emphasis on potential translatability to clinical improvement.
