SUMMARY:NANOscientific Symposium Americas 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the NANOscientific Symposium Americas 2026\, taking place September 29 at EXP Northeastern University and September 30 at Northeastern University’s Innovation Campus in Burlington\, MA. NSS Americas 2026 brings together research\, instrumentation\, and collaborative frameworks to advance developments in nanoscale discovery. \nSeptember 29 (Day 1)\nIn-person event with live online streaming\, featuring high-level speakers and technical talks. \nSeptember 30 (Day 2)\nLive\, hands-on tool training with the Park Atomic Force Microscopes\, Accurion EP4 Imaging Spectroscopic Ellipsometer\, and Lyncée Digital Holographic Microscope. The speaker lineup and registration details will be announced in the forthcoming official program. \nBenyamin Davaji\, of Northeastern University’s Autonomous Integrated Microsystems (AIMS) Laboratory\, plays a leading role in the event — delivering the symposium’s welcome remarks and presenting a technical talk\, “Measure\, Learn\, Predict\, and Act: Metrology-Enabled Digital Twins for Autonomous Nanomanufacturing.” \nDavaji joins a lineup of speakers from Stanford University\, the University of Pennsylvania\, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign\, MIT\, the University of Toronto\, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, alongside Park Systems leadership. Topics span atomic force microscopy\, 2D materials\, semiconductor failure analysis\, and advanced optical metrology. Day two offers live\, hands-on training with Park Atomic Force Microscopes\, the Accurion EP4 Imaging Spectroscopic Ellipsometer\, and a Lyncée digital holographic microscope.

SUMMARY:Chemical Engineering Fall Seminar Series: Trevor Sherwood
DESCRIPTION:Discovery of BMS-986526\, an EP4 agonist for the treatment of IBD using a direct-to-biology platform \nLocation: 108 Snell Engineering Center \nAbstract: This seminar will cover a brief overview of medicinal chemistry and the discovery of an EP4 agonist for IBD. The EP4 receptor is a GPCR expressed in multiple tissues. In the intestines\, the activation of EP4 is linked to restitution of the intestinal epithelial barrier and anti-inflammatory effects on immune cells\, making it a target of interest for IBD. However\, EP4 expression in other tissues complicates the utility of EP4 agonists. For instance\, EP4 agonism in systemic circulation has been shown to result in changes in heart rate and blood pressure. We set out to identify selective EP4 agonists with minimal systemic exposure outside of the gastrointestinal tract. Our campaign began with a high throughput screen which identified a triazine chemotype that was elaborated into a lead compound which demonstrated high circulating exposure. To identify compounds with lower exposure\, a direct-to-biology campaign leveraging a nanosynthesis platform was undertaken\, enabling us to rapidly explore novel chemical space and identify BMS-986526\, a lead that was subsequently nominated as a development candidate. This presentation will describe our lead chemotype\, the execution of our nanosynthesis and direct-to-biology campaign\, and the in vivo profile of BMS-986526 and other related lead compounds. \n\nTrevor Sherwood is a Scientific Associate Director in the Bristol Myers Squibb Discovery Chemistry group in Princeton\, NJ. He earned his B.S. in chemistry at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2008 and then earned his Ph.D. in 2013 with Prof. Scott Snyder at Columbia University where he completed multiple total syntheses of alkaloid and polyphenolic natural products. In 2013\, Trevor joined BMS where he has performed research in immunology\, oncology\, and neuroscience and has led multiple drug discovery programs. He is passionate about LGBTQ representation in chemistry and co-organized a session at the 2024 Spring ACS National Meeting featuring presentations from LGBTQ medicinal chemists.

SUMMARY:College of Engineering Global Co-op Information Session
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual information session for students\, hosted by the COE Global Co-op team. We will focus on searching for co-ops abroad for the Spring 2027 semester or later. If you think you may be interested in attending\, think about: \n\nHave you ever thought about doing co-op in another country?\nWould you like to learn more about available co-op opportunities\, or creating your own opportunities abroad?\nAre you curious about the logistics associated with a global co-op?\n\nIf you answered yes to any of these questions\, we hope you’ll attend so that we can introduce you to the search process and provide you with some important resources. \nThese info sessions are a great opportunity to connect with Global Co-op team members and students who have participated in global co-op in past semesters. \nIf you have questions or would like more information\, please find our contact information below: \nSally Conant\, s.conant@northeastern.edu \nKristina Hubbard\, k.hubbard@northeastern.edu \n  \nZoom Link: \nhttps://northeastern.zoom.us/j/96658444253
