“Tissue-level probing of intracellular liquid-liquid phase separation dynamics” Dr. Felipe QuirozAssistant Professor, Biomedical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of biopolymers recently emerged as a ubiquitous driving force for intracellular self-assembly. The resulting LLPS dynamics appear to orchestrate wide-ranging cellular mechanisms, from genome organization to cell division. Despite...
“PP2A as a regulator of pancreatic cancer cellular and metabolic plasticity” Dr. Brittany Allen-PetersenAssistant Professor of Biological SciencesPurdue University We are studying basic cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate tissue stem cell activity, focusing on adult epithelial stem cells in the skin. Using genetic and genomic approaches in mouse skin and comparing with human skin,...
"Expansion microscopy-based spatial biology technologies for biomedical research” Dr. Rui Gao,Assistant Professor, Biological Sciences & Chemistry University of Illinois Chicago Abstract: Understanding the molecular profile and function of a complex biological system requires investigation of its molecular composition and dynamics at high spatiotemporal resolution. Conventional imaging methods, however, suffer from trade-offs between factors such as...
Event Description A night of learning, entertainment, and networking for Orange County underrepresented minority high school students. With the help of underrepresented minority undergraduate level, graduate level, Junior Staff and Faculty of UC Irvine, we hope to show your students a tangible path to a career in STEM-related fields. Our first annual “Meet a Scientist/Engineer...
Dr. Jill Wildonger, Associate Professor, Department of Cell and Developmental Biology from the University of California San Diego “Building functional neurons with motors and microtubules” Abstract: We perceive the world around us through our sensory neurons. The sensory capacity of a neuron depends on the elaboration of its dendritic arbor and the localization of sensory ion...
“Determining the nature of interactions and biomolecular condensates in microbes” Abstract: Single-molecule microscopy accesses nanometer-scale information with a benchtop microscope, providing a platform to super-resolve fluorescence emission, position, and dynamics, even in living cells. The Biteen Lab is developing new single-molecule methods to answer fundamental, unanswered questions in microbiology with applications including elucidating cell regulation...
