Beckman Institute Calendar (Master)

Join Director Nadya Mason and your colleagues this fall for informal conversation and coffee in the Beckman Atrium. This Gather in the Atrium Series will be from 10-10:30 a.m. every Tuesday through the fall semester.

Receive an overview of data privacy from Phil Reiter, an associate director of privacy at Technology Services at Illinois.

Dr. Cambi will focus on the biology of oligodendrocytes and myelin and their role in maintaining axonal and neuronal health in models of neurodegeneration. Dr. Cambi will present data on acute and chronic neurodegeneration post trauma and chronic degenerative diseases.

Two graduate students will present their research at the third Beckman Graduate Student Seminar of the fall 2022 semester: Michael Pence, chemistry; and Archit Vasan, Center for Biophysics & Quantitative Biology. The event takes place Wednesday, Nov. 2 at noon in 1005 Beckman Institute and on Zoom. Register in advance to attend in person or on Zoom.

Join us at noon on Wednesdays this fall for restorative yoga with a view! All sessions are free and will be held in Beckman's fifth-floor tower room. Class will not be held on 11/23 . All are welcome bring your own mat! 

Pengfei Song will speak at the Beckman Institute's hybrid Director's Seminar at noon Thursday, Nov. 3. Song, assistant professor of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will present “In vivo micron-scale deep tissue microvascular imaging with super-resolution ultrasound.” Please indicate whether you will attend virtually or in person.

Dr. Gruebele will discuss research from wide-field fluorescence imaging to Minflux, geared to look at dynamics of protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions in cells ranging from culture to live animals, as well as models of the cytoplasm from all-atom to coarse-grained to whole cell to interpret dynamical data.

The seminar will introduce the software tools from UIUC and Allen Institute, supporting large-scale bio-realistic modeling of neurons and neuronal networks. Brain Modeling ToolKit (BMTK) is a package used to model and simulate a complex network of neurons, whereas SONATA file format supports efficient storage of models and simulations.

Aadeel Akhtar, CEO and Founder of PSYONIC, will lecture on “PSYONIC – Advances in Commercial Sensorimotor Bionic Limbs” November 9 at 4:00 pm in 2269 Beckman Institute and on Zoom. Shannon Berneche, MBM trainee and PhD candidate in Neuroscience, will give an introduction. The lecture is free and open to the public courtesy of the Miniature Brain Machinery Program.

Silicon photonics is a mature technology with many foundries worldwide. Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are mass manufactured by patterning devices on the surface of the silicon wafer. Although great circuit functionality can be achieved, the architecture is limited to two-dimensional binary structures with fixed refractive index contrast.

Learn about Queer Dictionairies from Lindsay Rose Russell, an associate professor, in the Department of English.

In Dr. Golding's seminar last year, he described how bacteriophage lambda measures the number of coinfecting viruses and uses this value to assess the abundance of potential hosts and decide whether to become dormant. In this seminar, Dr. Golding will present several recent updates to his team's work.

Dr. Perilla will present an overview of his team's synergistic efforts with experimentalists to determine the molecular details during the life-cycle of HIV-1. There work reveals complex relationships between capsid permeability and reverse- transcription, and deciphers the role of host-factors during the life- cycle of the virus.

Join Director Nadya Mason and your colleagues this fall for informal conversation and coffee in the Beckman Atrium. This Gather in the Atrium Series will be from 10-10:30 a.m. every Tuesday through the fall semester.

Receive an overview of data privacy lifecycle from Stephen Collette, a manager, data and privacy analyst and operations and Sheena Bishop, a privacy analyst at Technology Services at Illinois.

Join Beckman Director Nadya Mason and other members of the Beckman community for coffee and cookies in the Beckman Atrium. The Cookie Collab is scheduled for 3 p.m. the third Thursday of each month.

Learn about "from human scales through the mesoscale: high impact weather through space and time" from Deanna Hence, an assistant professor in the Department of Atmoshpheric Sciences.

Dr. Kim's group studies how RNase E performs mRNA degradation in bacteria with two different assays. First, they use single-particle tracking to measure the subcellular localization of RNase E as well as their diffusion dynamics. Second, they measure co-and post-transcriptional mRNA degradation rates to understand how mRNA degradation is spatiotemporally regulated.

Join Director Nadya Mason and your colleagues this fall for informal conversation and coffee in the Beckman Atrium. This Gather in the Atrium Series will be from 10-10:30 a.m. every Tuesday through the fall semester.

Receive an overview of privacy law from Dalton Cline, a privacy analyst at Technology Services at Illinois.

Celebrate the winners of the Beckman Institute's first Biologically-Informed AI Competition.

Come join us and learn about the new NIH policy for data sharing that will become effective in 2023. You can join in person in Room 2269, or via Zoom. Registration is required to join the discussion via Zoom. You can register in advance at the following this link: https://illinois.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZItceutqj4pHdx4tq6r3iOui4mpx588I-Vb
