Structural Biology Special Seminar

Mycobacteriophage structure reveals the molecular architecture for its host interaction and viral genome ejection Recent reports highlight the efficacy of engineered mycobacteriophages to treat non-tuberculosis mycobacterial disease. Molecular-level insights into mycobacteriophage architecture and host interactions could allow structure-guided phage engineering to increase efficacy and broaden host range, but such information is currently unavailable. We describe

The 2025 Research and Innovation Marathon Relay

Accelerating toward water security: how can we use citizen science and innovative low-cost sensor technologies? A world-wide marathon relay of ideas and recommendations to empower community-based water research. This event will take place over a 24-hour period. The relay will start at the CUNY ASRC at 12 p.m. on June 16, 2025. Register to attend

Photonics Initiative Seminar: Sergio Carbajo

Dr. Sergio Carbajo, UCLA Quantum Filmmaking: Capturing and Controlling Ultrafast Dynamics from Atoms to Applications Abstract – The ability to visualize and control quantum systems in action—spanning attosecond electron dynamics to functional protein motions—holds transformative potential for science and technology. Over the past decade, advances in ultrafast photon and electron sources, such as optical frequency
