In this workshop, a panel of international graduate students will answer questions and share their experiences; all students are welcome to attend, but RSVP from international students will have priority.

Dr. Aksimentiev will reveal several systems which will illustrate the applications of high-end all-atom, coarse-grained, and multi-resolution simulations to obtain information inaccessible to previous experimental approaches while providing a forward-looking perspective on modeling of an entire biological cell at all-atom resolution.

Graduate school can be a stressful time; this workshop seeks to open a conversation about the importance of maintaining one's mental health. Presenters will focus on healthy coping mechanisms, dealing with impostor syndrome, and resources available to support students.

Quantitative analysis of the EVs showed that those from the tumor microenvironment have unique optical signatures, in comparison to those from healthy human subjects. The use of this platform of label-free nonlinear imaging techniques offers comprehensive cell-to-clinic capabilities, and the clinical demonstration of these optical biomedical imaging technologies offers.
