Title: Connecting the dynamics of microbial systems across scales Abstract:  Biological reactions often involve low-copy molecular reactants, leading to stochastic outcomes. As a result, there is substantial heterogeneity among cells, even when they experience the same external conditions. Recent theoretical and experimental investigations have demonstrated that for microbial systems such heterogeneity is of important consequence to […]

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. […]

The Centre for BioSystems Science and Engineering (BSSE) cordially invites you to attend a departmental seminar. Speaker: Dr. Sudin Bhattacharya Department of Biomedical Engineering, Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology Institute for Quantitative Health Science & Engineering Michigan State University Abstract:  Single cell RNA-sequencing allows us to study cell-type specificity and heterogeneity of biological responses to chemical perturbations. […]

The Centre for BioSystems Science and Engineering (BSSE) cordially invites you to attend a special seminar: Speaker: Prof. Yamuna Krishnan Department of Chemistry, Institute for Biophysical Dynamics, Grossman Institute for Neuroscience University of Chicago Title: Intracellular electrophysiology Abstract:  I have been interested in exploring how the ionic milieu within an organelle facilitates organelle function. To map these lumenal chemistries, my […]
