The Centre for BioSystems Science and Engineering (BSSE) cordially invites you to attend a departmental seminar.   Speaker: Dr. Kandice Tanner, National Cancer Institute, NIH

Guest Lecture by Dr. Jason T. George on “Stochastic modeling of the tumor-immune interaction”

M Tech Classroom, BSSE Annex

Abstract: “Harnessing the adaptive immune system to recognize and eliminate cancer cells has ushered in T cell-based immunotherapies, which have revolutionized cancer treatment by inducing durable remission for many patients. Due to the immense complexity of T cell immunotherapy, nearly all attempts to improve these approaches and to expand their applications have been driven empirically. […]

Guest Lecture by Dr. Andrew Holle on “Tight squeeze: Engineering confinement for mechanobiology research”

M Tech Classroom, BSSE Annex

Abstract:  Self-induced cellular confinement has been shown to play a role in a wide variety of biological processes, including cancer invasion and metastasis, immune cell navigation, and mechanosensitive gene expression and localization. However, the ability of adult stem cells to enter tight confinements has been less studied, despite the fact that stem cells are capable […]
