Upcoming Events

Blanka Sharma, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL  “Engineering Biomaterials to Study and Modulate Inflammatory Mechanisms During Tissue Injury and Tumor Progression” ABSTRACT:   Exciting advances have been made in the discovery of therapeutic molecules and cells to more effectively treat numerous devastating medical conditions. However, their successful application in patients is curtailed by significant challenges in effectively delivering these therapeutics where an injury or disease is localized. Dr. Sharma’s research program aims to address…

ChE Seminar Series Presents:   Debra Auguste, Ph.D. Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering Northeastern University, Boston, MA “Engineering targeted therapeutics for breast cancer” Abstract: Cells sense changes in their environment and respond by altering their gene expression.  My lab investigates how cells manipulate membrane proteins, which has profound effects on disease progression. Cells orchestrate the density of proteins and lipids to govern adhesion and migration. From this knowledge, one can engineer drug delivery vehicles that complement the molecular patterns observed…

PhD Dissertation Defense: Optimal Proactive Services with Uncertain Predictions Ran Liu Location: Zoom Link Abstract: With the evolution of technologies such as machine learning and data science, proactive services with the aid of predictive information have been recognized as a promising method to exploit network bandwidth, storage, and computation resources to achieve improved user experiences, especially delay performance. Specifically, services can be processed proactively when the system is lightly loaded, with the results stored to meet user demand in the…
