University: is an institution of higher education and research which awards academic degrees. Universities typically provide undergraduate education and postgraduate education.
I will present how I came to choose the physician-scientist career pathway. I was inspired from an early age by stories about my great-grandfather, an academic surgeon who innovated gastric...
In this presentation Shameema Sikder will discuss her career trajectory starting as an undergraduate studying chemical engineering and biochemistry to an Associate Professor of Ophthalmology...
During this seminar I will present details of my path from Beckman Scholar to MD-PhD, advanced training as a neurologist, then a neurointensivist, and the interleaving of additional research...
In this presentation, I will discuss my experiences leading to my current position as a scientist and team leader, focused on chemical biology and drug discovery in the pharmaceutical indust...
A career in science journalism may not be what you think. This talk is more than a rehash of one writer's career path (though there is a little of that). It explains where the majority o...
I will tell brief stories of experiences that have shaped my career, generalize the lessons learned, and translate them to three actionable items: (1) be careful with your pronouns, (2) embr...
In the movie "Moana" the lead character sings the refrain, "There's no telling how far I'll go" before she heads off on the adventure of a lifetime. In this short...
Most researchers are curious about how to communicate their science to the media, yet they may also be worried that they'll be misquoted or misrepresented in an article. In an age where...
Scientific posters haven't changed in 30 years, which should be alarming to you (nothing in science should be stagnant). And evidence suggests they are incredibly ineffective. In this ta...
Current cancer management follows a multipronged approach that include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. There is a pressing need for a platform technology to provide precision chemother...
In the adult mammalian hippocampus, neurogenesis (in which new neurons are generated and integrated into the CNS) is believed to underlie learning and memory. Within the hippocampus, numerou...
The rodent visual system has attracted great interest in recent years, owing to its experimental tractability, but the fundamental mechanisms used by the mouse to represent the visual world...
Many experimental approaches rely on controlling gene expression in select subsets of cells within an individual animal. However, reproducibly targeting transgene expression to specific frac...
One of the most common pathologically relevant mutated variants of ALK-2 (activin receptor-like kinase-2) has a point mutation (R206H) in its Ser/Thr kinase domain that promotes uncontrolled...
Natural light-harvesting systems, such as photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes, efficiently transfer energy through space with high efficiency. Ultimately, we would like to understand th...
This workshop will cover how to craft, organize, and deliver an engaging scientific talk. It will show you how to use various techniques to turn your research presentation into an engaging a...
DATE: August 6th, 2020 TIME: 10:00am PT In recent years Lilly has implemented a Next Generation Research (NGR) initiative to improve the value output of the R&D portfolio. One of the NGR...
When I started my faculty job, I thought that just knowing the type of mentor I wanted to be and the lab culture that I wanted to create would be enough to make these things happen. I couldn...
Over 100 distinct alkane monooxygenase (AlkB) enzymes containing a covalently bound, or fused, rubredoxin domain were identified and analyzed using bioinformatic techniques. One such protein...
Infrared spectroscopy and microscopy directly couples to molecular functional groups, providing chemical information without extrinsic labels. However, conventional infrared spectroscopy and...
Unique physical, chemical, and optical phenomena arise when materials are confined to the nanoscale. We are accustomed to making observations for the behavior of living systems on a macrosco...
Why do some individuals live longer than others? Even identical twins have different lifespans, as do genetically identical model organisms raised in controlled laboratory environments. What...
Recent advances in super-resolution fluorescence microscopy based on single-molecule imaging have led to ~10 nm spatial resolution and exciting science. We are developing new approaches to a...
Effective locomotion in nature happens by transitioning between multiple modes (e.g., walk, run, climb, slither). Despite this, far more mechanistic understanding of terrestrial locomotion h...
