Abstract Title TBD Location: 305 Shillman Hall Professor Roberts' work is inspired by the ability of nature, in particular plant systems, to adapt and respond to stresses to enable both survival and growth. The primary focus of her research is on understanding the fundamental complexities in specialized metabolism and the development of renewable, engineered plant cell culture systems to synthesize valuable clinical and industrial molecules.

Abstract  Title TBD Location: 305 Shillman Hall Aileen Huang-Saad is the director of life sciences, health, and engineering programs at the Roux Institute and an associate professor of bioengineering. Leveraging her experience with design, entrepreneurship, education research, and professional practice, she seeks to close the gap between higher education and professional practice. Specifically, she is designing interdisciplinary experiential education life sciences, health, and engineering programs to attract, retain, and promote talent in the state of Maine. These programs are designed…

Abstract Title TBD Location: 305 Shillman Hall Omokolade (Kolade) Adebowale has always been fascinated by the wonders of science. In middle and high school, his chemistry laboratory experiences captivated him with its colors, smells, and substances. His Nigerian immigrant family insisted that he get a good education and encouraged him to pursue his scientific interests. He obtained his undergraduate degree from Illinois Institute of Technology in chemical engineering and his Ph.D. from Stanford University. His predoctoral research sought to understand…
