SUMMARY:MEAM Seminar: "Target: COVID-19"
DESCRIPTION: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 the diagnostic landscape for COVID-19 and focuses on our lab’s off-hours efforts to develop an in-home molecular test for SARS-Cov-2 that requires minimal manufacturing and meets WHO’s ASSURED criteria of being Affordable; Sensitive; Specific; User-friendly; Rapid and robust; Equipment-free; and Deliverable to end-users. The talk concludes by pointing out future needs and research directions.

SUMMARY:CBE Seminar: "Engineering Bacteria to Expand the Chemistry of Life"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nIn 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 minor exceptions)\, transfer RNAs (tRNA)\, and ribosomes. The convergence and association of these interdependent biomolecules is neatly captured in a table known as The Standard Genetic Code. Even after billions of years of genetic drift\, The Standard Genetic Code has been largely refractory to change.  In this talk\, I will be discussing strategies and methods for building organisms that can make and use non-standard amino acids to make proteins with enhanced or expanded function.

SUMMARY:Spring 2021 GRASP SFI: “Using Social Robots and Computer Vision to Augment Telerehabilitation”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: With the shortage of rehabilitation clinicians in rural areas and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic\, remote rehabilitation (telerehab) fills an important gap in access to rehabilitation\, especially for the treatment of adults and children experiencing upper arm disability due to stroke and cerebral palsy. We propose the use of a socially assistive humanoid robot coupled with a telepresence platform and computer vision based assessment pipeline as a tool for achieving more effective telerehab. The humanoid has arms\, a torso\, and a face to play games with and guide patients under the supervision of a remote clinician. The computer vision system is being developed to aid in automated objective assessments of patient function. In this talk\, I will outline the design of such a system\, present a uniquely large perceived usefulness evaluation of the platform with hundreds of practicing therapists in the United States\, and present recent results from a pilot study with the system. \nJoin the Zoom Meeting here

SUMMARY:BE Seminar: "Multi-input Chemical Control With Computationally Designed Proteins for Research Tools and Cell Therapies" (Glenna Wink Foight)
DESCRIPTION:This event will be held virtually via Zoom – check email for details or contact ksas@seas.upenn.edu \nProtein modules that are responsive to small molecule inputs have enabled control of cellular processes for decades’ worth of important mechanistic studies. More recently\, they have gained attention as a means of control for improved safety of cellular therapies. To date\, most small molecule-responsive systems have been adapted from natural proteins\, which provide limited control behaviors and often rely on small molecules with non-ideal properties for use in humans. I will describe how we have used computational protein design to move beyond these naturally occurring systems to create a new set of molecular tools that are responsive to multiple clinically approved drugs. The unique architecture of our system enables more complex control behaviors for multiple cellular outputs. I will describe applications of this designed system in the control of mammalian cytoskeletal signaling\, transcription\, and CAR T-cell therapy. \n

SUMMARY:GRASP On Robotics: “Billiard-Like Robots: Let Them Be Unstable and Unobservable!”
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: This talk will highlight our work over the past decade on controlling robots by giving them simple rules to reflect off of obstacles in their environment. This line of work pushes the extreme limits of minimalism and is suitable for scenarios where there are limited sensing and actuation capabilities\, such as consumer security robots and nanorobotics. We take heavy inspiration from dynamical billiards\, a branch of mathematics pioneered by Hadamard\, Artin\, Sinai\, and others\, but adapt the bouncing laws to models that are easily achievable by robots and are amenable to algorithmic analysis. Our results include basic conditions for attractors and limit cycles\, simple achievement of linear-temporal logic specifications\, visibility-based algorithmic analysis\, and demonstrations on embarrassingly cheap robot systems. An abundance of simple\, open problems remain in this area. \nClick here to join the Zoom Webinar
