Title: Engineering bottom-up synthetic cells to mimic life-like functions Abstract: How did life evolve from non-living matter on early Earth, and is it possible to recreate this transition artificially in a laboratory setting? Reconstructing well-defined functional molecular entities, components, and modules from the bottom-up to create a synthetic cell will provide new insights into the […]

Title: NEXT-GENERATION SOLUTIONS IN MEDICINE: OVERCOMING DRUG RESISTANCE IN CANCER. Abstract: Research in my laboratories is focused on uncovering the underlying root causes of cancer's resistance to drugs. Specifically, the work aims to identify and validate the mechanisms that drive this resistance. After elucidating the mechanism, we have designed new nano-delivery devices specific to the target […]

Title: Self-Powered Devices Based on Triboelectrification Speaker: Prof. Zong-Hong Lin   National Taiwan University Abstract: Designing devices with self-powered sensing function has become a popular research field since its emergence in recent decades. Triboelectrification occurs when two materials come into contact with each other, causing charge transfer that leads to oppositely charged surfaces; the amount of charge […]

The Department of Bioengineering (BE) and Department of Developmental Biology and Genetics (DBG) cordially invites you to attend a Seminar Speaker: Prof. Tanmay Lele Department of Biomedical Engineering, Texas A&M University, USA Title: Loss of tissue structure in cancer: a mechanobiological perspective Abstract: In glandular epithelial cancers such as breast cancer, the usual orderly arrangement of cells that surround […]

Speaker: Dr. Manu Setty Assistant Professor Fred Hutch Cancer Centre, Seattle, USA.   Title: Quantifying Cell-State Densities in Single-Cell Phenotypic Landscapes Abstract: Single-cell studies have clearly established the continuous nature of cell-state transitions in trajectories of differentiation and disease. Moreover, fundamental processes such as proliferation and apoptosis generate a non-uniform distribution of states within these […]
