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.
-
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.
-
Two graduate students will present their research at the second Beckman Graduate Student Seminar of the fall 2022 semester: Winnie Chung, psychology; and Abhiroop Mishra, materials science and engineering. The event takes place Wednesday, Oct. 5 at noon in 1005 Beckman Institute and on Zoom. Register in advance to attend in person or on Zoom.

Hee Jung Chung, Associate Professor of Molecular and Integrative Physiology and Neuroscience at Illinois, will lecture on “The role of brain specific tyrosine phosphatase STEP in hippocampal excitability and seizures” at 4:00 pm in 2269 Beckman Institute and on Zoom October 5, 2022. One of our MBM trainees will give an introduction.
-
Prof. Fei-Fei Li, Stanford Univ., will speak about "From Seeing to Doing: Understanding and Interacting with the Real World." at 2 p.m. CST Oct. 6. The virtual talk is part of the annual Beckman-Brown Lecture on Interdisciplinary Science.

Learn about Calculating the Sensory Aesthetics of Black Liberation from Stacey Robinson, an associate professor of graphic design, in the School of Art & Design.
-
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.
-
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
-
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.

The Quantum Information Revolution is in full swing, and entanglement — the spooky nonclassical, nonlocal connection that can be shared by quantum particles — is the key ingredient. In this talk, Dr. Kwiat will discuss how to create (photon) entanglement, and several applications for secure communication and quantum-enhanced sensing.
-
Marianne Alleyne will speak at the Beckman Institute's virtual Director's Seminar at noon Thursday, Oct. 13. Alleyne, assistant professor in the Department of Entomology, will be discussing "Insects did it first: multifunctionality of surfaces and structures." Please indicate whether you will attend virtually or in-person.
-
In this talk, Dr. Lamoureux will present his team's contributions to the development of unified “sequence-to-structure-to-function” models based on deep neural networks. These models aim at predicting how proteins assemble and interact with one another using molecular representations learned from high-throughput PPI data.
-
Receive an overview of animal research from Jiajie Jessica Xu, an assistant director, veterinarian, in the Division of Animal Resources.
-
Gaining an understanding of the neural circuits essential to social behavior in rodents can be challenging due to the need for relatively unconstrained experiments. Robots can be used as a tool for understanding social encounters with other rats and for gaining an understanding of the coordinated dynamics of neural circuits involved in social appraisal.
