Jian Hua, PhD Cornell University; Professor, School of Integrative Plant Science Plant Biology Section "Plant Autoimmunity, Triggers and Players"

Exposure to inflammation during critical developmental windows can disrupt neural circuitry formation and function, increasing the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders. Using maternal viral infection, my lab investigates how microbial, immune, and microglial signaling might underlie the etiologies of these disorders.

Associate Professor, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology

The first year of graduate school comes with some big transitions and uncertainty.  Learning what to expect, and setting healthy boundaries, will help you survive and thrive through these changes.

James Eberwine, PhD Elmer Holmes Bobst Professor of Systems Pharmacology and Translational Therapeutics, Perelman School of Medicine; University of Pennsylvania "Beyond Single Cells: Subcellular Single Organelle ‘Omics and Functional Genomics"

Here, I will describe how we use machine learning to extract visual attributes represented by neurons and show that neurons may act as “similarity machines," signaling the distance between input signals and their encoded attributes. 

"Introduction to the IGB Core" Dr. Glenn Fried, Director of Core Facilities, Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology

Postdoctoral Research Associate, Biochemistry & Cellular and Molecular Biology

CDB Career Development Seminar

"Expanding the Physical Interactome of Hsp90," Freeman Lab

Indentifying Different "Flavors" of Heterochromatin.    Belmont Lab

Jacob Becraft, PhD Co-founder and CEO of Strand Therapeutics "An Academia-to-Biotech Roadmap: Research and Development at the Frontiers of mRNA Therapeutics"

Cognitive processes can have profound effects on sensory experience. In this lecture I will discuss our recent electrophysiology findings revealing that prefrontal cortex is highly sensitive to behavioral errors when task rules are updated. We will also provide evidence that this engagement leads to rapid plasticity in sensory cortices altering perceptual performance.

"PEG Microgels as Modular 3D Cell Scaffold and Cytokine Sensor" Hyeon Ryoo, Graduate Student, Bioengineering Instrument - LSM 880 Lunch will be provided

Department of Veterinary Biomedical Sciences

Communication is important in any mentoring relationship, whether you are the mentor or the mentee. The Graduate Office of Student Success will be presenting on strategies to effectively navigate conflict, and the workshop will also provide resources and tips for getting departmental support.

Stacey Finley, PhD University of Southern California; Associate Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering "Computational modeling of the tumor ecosystem"

Sex hormones are powerful neuromodulators of learning and memory. This talk highlights recent findings from the Jacobs Lab suggesting that neuroendocrine factors rapidly and dynamically influence the human brain over the lifecourse.
