Select all upcoming seminars you would like to attend:

July 26, 2022, 2:00–3:00 pm ET

Title: Rethinking cancer targeting strategies: new synthetic sensors and circuits in the era of smart cell therapeutics.
Speaker: Wendell Lim, Ph.D., University of California – San Francisco
Content: Dr. Lim will share about the new synthetic biology tools his team has created to engineer next-generation therapeutic immune cells that can more effectively kill tumor cells from a broad range of challenging solid tumors.

August 23, 2022 2:00 - 3:00pm ET

Title: TBA
Speaker: Livia Schiavinato Eberlin, Ph.D., Baylor College of Medicine
Content: Dr. Eberlin will discuss new technologies developed by her group to assess molecular predictors of disease state from tissue samples, and how this tool can be used clinically for precision medicine guided surgical resection.

September 20, 2022 2:00 - 3:00pm ET

Title: Lab on a particle technology for sorting viable single immune cells based on their function
Speaker: Dino Di Carlo, Ph.D., University of California – Los Angeles
Content: Dr. Di Carlo will share about the “lab on a particle” technology being developed in his lab to enable scalable selection of functional immune cells, driving next-generation cancer immunotherapeutic design.

October 18, 2022 2:00 - 3:00pm ET

Title: Simple and low-cost optical imaging tools for label-free molecular imaging and 3D microscopy and their applications in biomedicine
Speaker: Francisco (Paco) Robles, Ph.D., Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University
Content: Dr. Robles will talk about work his team is leading to advance a novel molecular and 3D optical imaging methods to overcome current limitations in biomedicine ranging from hematology to cancer detection.
