  • BME 280B Seminar: Anne Nakamoto, Alan Zhang, Shelbi Russell

    Physical Sciences Building Physical Sciences Building, Santa Cruz, CA

    Presenter 1: Anne Nakamoto, BME PhD Candidate, Corbett-Detig Lab, UC Santa Cruz Talk: Investigating deleterious mutation burden across populations and landscapes in the California Conservation Genomics Project Description: Biodiversity is being lost at an accelerated rate due in part to anthropogenic forces, posing a threat to the sustainability of Earth’s ecosystems as well as to human […]

  • BME 280B Seminar: Preconfigured neuronal firing sequences in human brain organoids

    Physical Sciences Building Physical Sciences Building, Santa Cruz, CA

    Presenter: Tjitse (TJ) van der Molen, Ph.D. (Postdoc, Sharf Lab, UC Santa Cruz and PhD Kosik Lab, UC Santa Barbara) Description: Neuronal firing sequences are thought to be the building blocks of information and broadcasting within the brain. Yet, it remains unclear when these sequences emerge during neurodevelopment. Here we demonstrate that structured firing sequences […]

  • BME 280B Seminar: Computational Models of Biological Systems

    Physical Sciences Building Physical Sciences Building, Santa Cruz, CA

    Presenter: Chen-Hsiang Yeang, Associate Research Fellow, Institute of Statistical Science of Academia Sinica Description: Computational models are roughly categorized into two types: describing the patterns of the phenomenon or data (description-driven models) and explaining the phenomenon or data with simpler, comprehensible rules (explanation-driven models). When building a model, the choice of the mixture ingredients of […]

  • BME 280B Seminar: Applying a translational research framework to understand PFAS exposures and health risks

    Physical Sciences Building Physical Sciences Building, Santa Cruz, CA

    Presenter: Dr. Max Aung, Assistant Professor of Environmental Health, USC Keck School of Medicine Description: Per and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of industrial chemicals that are ubiquitous in the environment and in humans. The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, have identified PFAS as an important environmental risk factor for various chronic […]
