PSOC@Penn Seminar: “Harnessing Biochemistry and Engineering to Visualize Metabolism” (Kayvan R. Keshari)
Oncogenic transformation has been shown to have a dramatic impact on the metabolic state of the cell. Recent reports have demonstrated that specific alterations in oncogenes and signaling pathways results in increases in pathway flux as well as diversion of substrates. Moreover, there is an argument that changes in metabolism can directly affect cell fate […]

September 21, 2021 -Plastic Waste: Global Challenges and Opportunities
MEAM Seminar: “Active Colloids in Nematics for Micro-robotics and Reconfigurable Systems”
Active colloids in nematic liquid crystals are exciting vehicles for materials manipulation. Colloid shape, surface chemistry and dynamic displacement can be designed to introduce defects whose non-linear dynamics generate new modalities of motion and interaction. These effects rely on energy conversion mechanisms, in which active colloids with tailored surface functionalization and shape seed defects and […]
VIPER Lightning Talks: Addressing Energy Challenges Through Undergraduate Research
The Vagelos Integrated Program in Energy Research (VIPER) is a dual-degree undergraduate program at the University of Pennsylvania that prepares students to be the next generation of energy leaders. Join us to learn more about the work they are doing to address energy and sustainability challenges through their undergraduate research. Graduates of the program gain […]
Plastic Waste: Global Challenges and Opportunities
This event will be a panel discussion on polymer waste as a global societal challenge; recent efforts on polymer upcycling will be discussed.

September 22, 2021 -CBE Seminar: “Engineering the Crystallization of Water Using Molecular and Biomolecular Agents”
CBE Seminar: “Engineering the Crystallization of Water Using Molecular and Biomolecular Agents”
Abstract The crystallization of water affects various processes, both globally and in our daily lives. Ice crystals cause freezing and death when they grow in the extracellular fluids of organisms living in sub-freezing conditions. Similarly, the formation of gas hydrates in flowlines transporting gas/oil causing safety and economic risks, and the release of methane from […]

Global Discovery Series: Climate Change and Cities
Professor Michael Weisberg, Director of Post-Graduate Programs at the Perry World House, and Perry World House Visiting Fellow and Penn Alumna Lolita Jackson talk about the impacts of climate change at the municipal level. While vastly different in scale, New York City and the Galápagos Town of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno (population 8000), the towns in […]
MSE David P. Pope Distinguished Lecture: “Skin-Inspired Organic Electronics”
Skin is the body’s largest organ, and is responsible for the transduction of a vast amount of information. This conformable, stretchable, self-healable and biodegradable material simultaneously collects signals from external stimuli that translate into information such as pressure, pain, and temperature. The development of electronic materials, inspired by the complexity of this organ is a […]
BE Seminar: “Material Design for Lymph Node Drug Delivery and Immunomodulation” (Susan Thomas)
This event will be held live and broadcast on zoom - link coming soon. Lymph nodes mediate the co-mingling of cells of the adaptive system to coordinate adaptive immune response. Drug delivery principles and technologies our group has developed to leverage the potential of lymph nodes as immunotherapeutic drug targets to augment anti-cancer therapeutic effects […]

Sustainability and the Building Environment: Building Materials and Cooling Strategies that Combat a Warming Planet
Air conditioning today accounts for nearly 20% of the total electricity used in buildings around the world and over 10% of the total primary energy use in the US. Already a major contributor to climate change, cooling energy demand is predicted to significantly increase over the next decades with urbanization, population growth and global warming. […]
Penn Electric Racing and the Future of EV Engineering
Penn Electric Racing is Penn's award winning Formula SAE electric racing team. Every year, we design and manufacture an electric racecar and compete against schools from across the country. This experience gives our students invaluable skills, allowing us to jumpstart careers in the EV industry. In this event, we will discuss the role of EV's […]
PICS Colloquium: “How reproducible is your research?”
Abstract: Each year vast international resources are wasted on irreproducible research. The scientific community has been slow to adopt standard software engineering practices, despite the increases in high-dimensional data, complexities of workflows, and computational environments. Here we show how scientific software applications can be created in a reproducible manner when simple design goals for reproducibility are […]
