Beckman and Campus Calendars
Monday, October 3, 2022
-
Dr. Chipot will show how combination of importance-sampling schemes can be used profitably to map with unprecedented efficiency and without any loss of accuracy complex free-energy landscapes from whence physically meaningful transition pathways can be extracted.
Tuesday, October 4, 2022
-
Receive an overview of human subjects research from Jennifer Ford, an assistant director in the Office for the Protection of Research Subjects.
-
Information flow in the cortex is classically considered as feedforward-hierarchical computation. However, recent findings have started to reveal rather parallel and distributed processing. Dr. Kato will discuss his team's work studying parallel sensory pathways across the primary and higher auditory cortices in extracting complex sound features.

Dr. Sulc will present a top-down coarse-grained model, oxDNA, which was specifically designed for simulations of DNA nanotechnology systems, and present examples where it has been used to help design and understand function of DNA, RNA and protein-DNA hybrid nanostructures and processes.
Tuesday, October 11, 2022
-
Receive an overview of laboratory safety from Stephanie Hess, a director in the Division of Research Safety.
-
Brains can be modeled as functional networks, where interregional connections and their weights are estimated as a correlations. Dr. Betzel will present an approach for exactly decomposing these connections (edges) into their time-varying contributions. This approach yields framewise estimates of networks across time and can be used to estimate the novel construct of "edge
Wednesday, October 12, 2022
-
The liver is crucial for maintaining whole body energy balance. Dr. Moore's lab found FXR and PPARα also regulate processes that are not related to metabolic pathways but are central to liver energy balance. Dr. Moore's presentation will focus on the previously described roles of FXR and PPARα in control of autophagy and recent results on control of liver secretome.
