Speaker: Prof. Marty Pagel (The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Teax ) Title: Molecular Imaging of the Tumor Microenvironment Abstract: Tumor acidosis, hypoxia and vascular perfusion are well-known characteristics of the tumor microenvironment. We have developed MRI, PET/MRI, multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) and electron paramagnetic resonance imaging (EPRI) to measure extracellular pH, […]

Title: The food fly: neural circuits of feeding and emesis in Drosophila Abstract: Our group is broadly interested in understanding how the brain communicates with the gut and other organ systems to regulate food/nutrient intake. Food intake is mainly influenced by innate sensory inputs and also by memories of past feeding experiences. We have developed and improved handy […]

Title: Cracking the cell death code Abstract: Cell death is an invariant feature throughout our lifespan, starting with extensive scheduled cell death during morphogenesis and continuing under homeostasis in adult tissues. Additionally, cells become victims of accidental, unscheduled death following injury and infection. Cell death in each of these occasions triggers specific and specialized responses […]

Speaker: Dr. Sooryanarayana Varambally (University of Alabama at Birmingham) Title: Integrative Data Analysis Using UALCAN platform For Cancer Biomarker Discovery And Therapeutic Targeting Abstract:  Cancer is a complex disease that exhibits diverse morphological, histological and molecular alterations during the initiation, progression and metastasis. Cancer is a leading cause of death both in India and the western countries. […]

Title: Decoding the Stabilizing Energetics of DNA and Their Applications in DNA Nanotechnology and Super-resolution Imaging About the Speaker: Mahipal studied Physics at Nizam College Hyderabad, India, and Nanobiophysics at TU Dresden, […]

Title: EMPLOYING COMMON IONS AND MOLECULES FOR SUSTAINABLE CLEAN WATER Speaker: Dr. Swathy J. R. Abstract: Despite the existence of several innovative solutions in the field of water purification, successful technologies continue to encounter significant challenges. Many of these technologies lack sustainability and durability due to frequent manual interventions and associated expenses. While various global […]

Speaker: Prof. Michael Toneff, PhD, Departments of Biology and Biochemistry, Widener University. Title: A dual-fluorescent reporter to identify mechanisms regulating the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in breast cancer. Abstract: The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a developmental and wound-healing process whereby stationary epithelial cells undergo a reversible phenotypic change to a motile, mesenchymal-like state. EMT can aberrantly occur […]
