Join this event about career paths in equity research for life science graduate students and postdocs, especially for those who have an interest in the stock market. Dr. Andy Hsieh is currently a biotech equity research analyst and partner at William Blair & Company, LLC. Subsequent to graduating from UCB with a PhD in Chemistry…
Nicholas Durr, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University Computational biophotonics pairs optical system design with the development of intelligent algorithms to extract meaningful data from interrogated tissues (often via an unintuitive computational image). With the recent advances in deep learning, there are many exciting opportunities to apply data-driven models to novel optical imaging…
Andrei Kozlov, Assistant Professor Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London Andrei Kozlov Department of Bioengineering Imperial College London Hair cells, the receptors of the inner ear, detect sounds by transducing mechanical vibrations into electrical signals. From the top surface of each hair cell protrudes a mechanical antenna, the hair bundle, which the cell uses to…
Nancy Allbritton, Professor of Bioengineering & Dean of Engineering, Stanford University Organ-on-chips are miniaturized devices that arrange living cells to simulate functional subunits of tissues and organs. These microdevices provide exquisite control of tissue microenvironment for the investigation of organ-level physiology and disease. A 3D polarized epithelium using primary human or mouse gastrointestinal stem cells…
Zev Bryant, Associate Professor of Bioengineering and (by courtesy) of Structural Biology, Stanford University Molecular machines lie at the heart of biological processes ranging from DNA replication to cell migration. We use single-molecule tracking and manipulation to characterize the structural dynamics of these nanoscale assemblies, and further challenge our understanding by designing and testing structural…
