    /
    Zoom - Email MEAM for Link peterlit@seas.upenn.edu

    Until such a time when the world’s population has achieved herd immunity either through vaccination against or exposure to the SARS-Cov-2 virus, the most effective means for controlling the COVID-19 (and any other) pandemic is frequent testing and resulting preventive measures that reduce the rate of viral transmission. This talk provides a bird's-eye view of […]

    CBE Seminar: “Engineering Bacteria to Expand the Chemistry of Life”

    /
    Zoom - Email CBE for link

    Abstract In living organisms, translation of genetic information by the ribosome transforms the information embedded in DNA into actuating components, namely proteins. Though life itself is incredibly diverse at the macroscopic level, at the molecular level, all of life uses the same set of machinery for translation - 20 standard amino acid building blocks (with […]

    Spring 2021 GRASP SFI: “Using Social Robots and Computer Vision to Augment Telerehabilitation”
