September 3, 2024 -MEAM Seminar: “CRISPR-Programmed Microfluidic Devices for DNA Detection, Computing and Digital Display”
MEAM Seminar: “CRISPR-Programmed Microfluidic Devices for DNA Detection, Computing and Digital Display”
CRISPR is a gene editing technique that allows researchers to quickly and precisely edit genome sequences. Beyond gene editing, CRISPR-Cas systems can be repurposed as a programmable platform for other various applications. In this talk, I will introduce how we use CRISPR technology to program microfluidic devices for DNA detection, DNA computing and digital display. […]

September 4, 2024 -CBE Seminar: “Pressure-induced Nanoparticle Assembly” (Hongyou Fan, Sandia National Laboratories)
ASSET Seminar: “Bridging the Gap Between Learning and Programming”
Abstract: For decades, we have built software by writing code, but in recent years machine learning has emerged as a new approach to create software with features that would be impossible to code by hand. However, the use of learning to build software risks ignoring some of the lessons we have learned for how to […]
CBE Seminar: “Pressure-induced Nanoparticle Assembly” (Hongyou Fan, Sandia National Laboratories)
Abstract: Precise control of structural parameters through nanoscale engineering to improve optical and electronic properties of functional nanomaterials continuously remains an outstanding challenge. Previous work on nanoparticle synthesis and assembly has been conducted largely through solution chemistry at ambient pressure and relies on specific chemical or physical interactions such as van der Waals interactions, dipole-dipole […]

MEAM Ph.D. Thesis Defense: “Controlling Contact Transitions for Dynamic Robots”
Legged robots, robotic manipulators, and their combined embodiment as humanoid robots have received considerable attention across both academia and industry. However, with few notable exceptions, state-of-the-art demonstrations are significantly less dynamic than their biological counterparts. A considerable challenge towards achieving more dynamic robots lies within controlling contact interactions with their environment. Legged robots undergoing impacts […]
MSE Seminar: “Working Safely in the Lab: Navigating Common Laboratory Hazards in MSE Research”
EHRS staff will discuss how to work safely in the lab while navigating the changing landscape of materials science and engineering research. The talk will also cover; - Standard orientation topics (physical/bio/chem safety, waste disposal, Workday training, etc.) - The new methylene chloride regulations and how they will affect EHRS and Penn operations. - Safe use of […]

The Department of BIoengineering and Dr. Flavia Vitale proudly announce the Doctoral Dissertation Defense of Sneha Shankar. Details are as follows: Title: "Developing Translational Multimodal Neurotechnology Across Multiple Scales Using Novel Materials And Approaches" Date: September 5th, 2024 Time: 12pm Location: Glandt Forum, Singh Center for Nanotechnology Advisor: Flavia Vitale Zoom option: https://upenn.zoom.us/j/97587304173?pwd=RgyJPz5nLAQMVwc0zR6uBUBbun0d5J.1 The public is welcome […]
BE Seminar: “Designing Programmable Protein Therapeutics with Generative Language Models” (Pranam Chatterjee, Duke University)
CRISPR has revolutionized biotechnology by enabling the simple design of guide RNAs to target and edit almost any DNA sequence. By developing new generative protein design algorithms, my hybrid lab focuses on extending this CRISPR-like programmability to proteins and other key molecules. In this talk, we will first delve into our algorithms that design binders […]
