SUMMARY:NYC Builds Bio+    Tour and Reception at the ASRC
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an interactive tour of the Advanced Science Research Center at CUNY and its uniquely laid out design. Meet scientists and industry researchers that are working together in this collaborative space for innovation. Learn how the accessible facilities\, cutting-edge instrumentation\, and expert staff make the center a key resource for tech development in the heart of West Harlem’s fastest emerging life science subcluster in NYC. \nLaunched in 2018\, NYC Builds Bio+ aims to connect commercial life science opportunities to New York City’s real estate development community through events\, research\, reports and educational programs. \nA membership-driven organization\, NYC Builds Bio+ is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing New York City’s real estate and life sciences community together\, serving as the go-to place to find information about and assistance with growing\, building and locating life science companies in New York City. \nPlease see here to register.  \nAGENDA \n4:30pm – 5:00pm: Check-in and Networking \n5:00pm – 5:10pm: Welcome \n• Joshua Brumberg\, Interim Director\, ASRC and Dean for the Sciences\, CUNY Graduate Center \n5:10pm – 5:20pm: Overview of the Meeting• \n• Nancy J Kelley\, President & CEO\, Nancy J Kelley + Associates\, Founding Member and Steering Committee\, NYC Builds BIO+ \n5:20pm – 6:30pm: Tours of The Advanced Science Research Center at CUNY \n6:30pm – 7:00pm: Panel Presentation \nModerator: \n• Nancy J Kelley\, President & CEO\, Nancy J Kelley + Associates\, Founding Member and Steering Committee\, NYC Builds BIO+ \nSpeakers: \n• Tavis Ezell\, Director of Business Development\, New York State Sensor Center of Advanced Technology (CAT) \n• Corporate Representative\, Facilities User at the Advanced Science Research Center \n• Jia Liu\, PhD\, Director of the Epigenetics Facility \n• Isela Lopez\, Operations Manager\, Comparative Medicine Unit\, Advanced Science Research Center at The Graduate Center\, CUNY​ \n• Rein Ulijn\, PhD\, Director of ASRC Nanoscience Initiative \n7:00pm – 8:00pm: Reception and Networking \n  \nAbout the Advance Science Research Center \nLocated on the south end of The City College campus in Upper Manhattan\, the striking\, 200\,000-square-foot Advanced Science Research Center embodies a bold vision of 21st-century discovery. At the center’s core is a world-class facility designed to inspire an innovative approach to the scientific method itself\, one that links a new wave of talented scientists with hundreds of top researchers from CUNY campuses across the city.Unlike a standard science building that lays out a biology floor and a chemistry floor and a physics floor\, each in its own world\, the ASRC is conceived to break down some of the traditional walls in science\, incubating a culture of collaboration among researchers in five distinct but increasingly interconnected disciplines. The researchers in each of the five initiatives at the ASRC embrace this concept. From these collaborations comes transformational science. \nWhile the five flagship initiatives do have their own floors in the ASRC\, they are linked by design. With its flowing floor plans and wide-open central stairway\, the glass-encased building promotes intellectual cross-pollination and partnerships between labs—a literal vertical integration of big ideas. Researchers from every corner of the five initiatives are working side by side in ASRC’s core facilities\, sharing equipment that is among the most advanced of its kind. The ground floor features a nanofabrication facility that includes a 5\,000-square-foot cleanroom where faculty and students throughout CUNY\, as well as researchers from government and industry\, are able to design and fabricate a wide range of micro and nano structures. The ASRC also offers state-of-the-art nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers\, a data analytic center that includes a wall of screens for visualization\, and a rooftop observatory using advanced environmental-sensing equipment to collect and analyze earth and atmospheric data from satellites.

SUMMARY:Converge to Transform Seminar: Ting Xu\, UC Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a one-hour talk\, as part of the ASRC’s Converge to Transform: Interdisciplinary STEM Seminar Series\, from Professor Ting Xu\, University of California\, Berkeley\, titled: \nToward Merging Synthetic and Biological Macromolecules \nAbstract- Proteins\, nature’s “own” building blocks\, have many unique features unmatched by any synthetic organic or inorganic analogs. Using natural proteins to construct functional materials will clearly change the paradigm of materials science. In parallel\, learning protein’s sequence-structure-function relationship can also inform and accelerate development of biomimetic protein-like materials. I will present our explorations at the interfaces between synthetic and biological macromolecules toward next generation of functional materials and beyond.” \nBio– Prof. Ting Xu received Ph.D. from the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering from the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst in 2004. Her postdoctoral training focused on de novo protein design\, jointly between the University of Pennsylvania and the Cold Neutron for Biology and Technology (CNBT) team at NIST from 2004-2006. She joined University of California\, Berkeley in 2007 as Assistant professor in both the Department of Material Sciences and Engineering and Department of Chemistry and rose to the rank of full professor in 2016. \nProf. Xu’s research interests rest at the interface among soft matter\, biology\, material chemistry and engineering. Her research efforts focus on understanding assembly process in multi-component systems and applying the fundamental knowledge to control the assembly kinetics and pathways to generate hierarchically structured nanomaterials with built-in functionalities. Researchers in Xu’s group take advantage of the recent developments in polymer science\, protein science\, synthetic biology\, and nanoparticles synthesis and manipulation\, and apply them to establish chemistry-structure-property relationship and generate functional materials for life science\, environment and energy applications. \nProf. Xu is a fellow of American Physical Society\, American Chemical Society and serves on the Board of Directors of Materials Research Society since 2020. She was named as one of “Brilliant 10” by Popular Science Magazine in 2009. She is the recipient of awards including 2008 3M Nontenured Faculty Award; 2008 DuPont Young Professor Award; 2009 Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award; 2010 Li Ka Shing Woman Research Award; 2011 Camille-Dreyfus Scholar-Teacher Award; 2011 ACS Arthur K. Doolittle Award\, 2018 Bakar Fellow and 2021 Bakar Prize. For their development of compostable plastics\, her team was awarded the grand prize of the 2021 Create the Future Design Contest among entries from 55 countries: and the Falling Walls Breakthrough of the Year 2022 in Engineering & Technology. \n  \n  \nIn initiating this series\, we seek to highlight outstanding\, high impact and inspiring interdisciplinary research\, bring together researchers from across many disciplines to break down silos\, and enrich CUNY’s undergraduate and graduate student training experiences.  \nThe CUNY ASRC was established nearly 8 years ago to advance interdisciplinary STEM research\, within the country’s largest public urban university system\, in the service of building knowledge and solving important societal problems through innovation. Recognizing that the solutions to these problems will emerge from dynamic and creative thought that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries\, the Center is comprised of five increasingly interconnected fields – Nanoscience\, Photonics\, Structural Biology\, Neuroscience\, and Environmental Science – and promotes synergistic collaborations among its research groups and across the university.

SUMMARY:New York City Water Week Event: The SDG 6 Research and Innovation Marathon Relay
DESCRIPTION:UN Water 2023: Accelerating the achievement of SDG 6 through partnerships \nGlobal Research and Innovation Priorities to Achieve SDG 6: A world-wide marathon relay of ideas and recommendations on SDG-6 acceleration \nThis event will take place over a 24-hour period from March 20th through the 21st\, 2023. The relay will start at the ASRC and end at The Roosevelt House\, NY. \nThe 17 Sustainable Development Goals serve as the blueprint for advancing human well-being while preserving the environment. One of the main problems in achieving SDG6 on water and related SDGs is that although water crosses all aspects of life\, it’s science\, management and understanding has become “sectionalized”. To overcome this\, there is a need to capture ideas that make water a core aspect of everybody’s day-to-day business. \nSectors such as agriculture\, health and energy have a major impact on the use and quality of water. Universities can join hands ina dialogue with governmental\, civil society and business stakeholders to improve this situation. Together this alliance encompasses a large diversity of perspectives and uses knowledge from a broad set of scientific disciplines. \nThe topic of the upcoming 2023 World Water Day\, which coincides with the UN 2023 Water Conference\, will be on “Partnerships”; what better moment is there to increase the awareness of the value of water and explore innovative ways through which this partnership can contribute to further improve this? \nThe international dialogue will be staged as a relay marathon around the planet. Its focus will be on: \n·The research and innovations that are needed to improve the five pillars of the SDG 6 acceleration framework. What research is needed to accelerate\, for example\, the financing of the water sector\, its governance\, capacity development\, its links to environmental stewardship\, and more. \nHow does it work? \nThe event will start on March 20th at 12:00pm in New York at the ASRC\, while broadcast via Zoom\, and continue online around the world until the final discussion session at 11:00am March 21st.  \nAll participating institutes will be organized in region and time zone groupings.

SUMMARY:Environmental Science Initiative: Dianne Greenfield\, CUNY
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Dianne Greenfield\, PhD\, Associate Professor\, Environmental Sciences Initiative\, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the ASRC-Environmental Sciences Initiative and CUNY-Queens College\, will present a talk titled: \nRecent Insights to the Ecology and Detection of Harmful Algal Blooms in NY and CT Waterways \nAbstract: Harmful algal blooms (HABs) occur in both freshwater and marine environments and are caused by highly diverse phytoplankton and macroalgal species spanning several Kingdoms. HABs are associated with deteriorating water quality (such as eutrophication)\, public and wildlife health risks through direct exposure to or consumption of tainted shellfish and/or finfish\, as well as ecosystem disruption worldwide. Numerous climate models predict that future HAB and hypoxia (dangerously low oxygen levels) incidences and severities will escalate. In my laboratory\, we study the complex environmental feedbacks between global change stressors (such as urbanization\, nutrients\, and climate) and coastal phytoplankton ecology and biogeochemistry though a wide range of approaches spanning molecular to ecosystem scales integrated within field and laboratory studies. \nRecently\, we have focused on quantifying how nitrogen (N) enrichment affects phytoplankton and microbial assemblages along NYC regional coastlines and their co-occurrences with other anthropogenically-influenced stressors\, such as hypoxia. In this seminar\, I will highlight a few such projects\, emphasizing the advances and challenges of HAB science in the NY/CT coastal region. \nBio: Dr. Greenfield is an Associate Professor with the Advanced Science Research Center and Queens College\, City University of New York. She is a biological oceanographer who combines fundamental ecology with molecular tools to study complex feedbacks between human activity and ecological and\nbiogeochemical processes within marine and freshwater ecosystems. Her research emphasizes phytoplankton – microscopic organisms that form the base of aquatic food webs and profoundly influence biogeochemical cycling\, productivity\, and climate. Dr. Greenfield completed her Bachelor’s degree at Mount Holyoke College\, Master’s degree at Tulane University\, PhD at Stony Brook\nUniversity\, and a Postdoctoral Fellowship with the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. She held a prior position at the University of South Carolina\, joint with the Marine Resources Research Institute in Charleston\, SC. She also serves on the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography’s Executive Board\, the Science and Technology Advisory Committee for the Long Island Sound Study\, is an Associate Editor for the journal Estuarine\, Coastal and Shelf Science\, as well as others. \nThis seminar series will take place in the 1st Fl Seminar Room with the option to join via Zoom. \nPlease follow lobby signage directing you to the 1st Fl corridor windows where you will then walk right until reaching the 1st Fl Seminar Room. \nMeeting ID: 892 7906 4948 \nPasscode: 516742\nDial by your location: +1 646 558 8656 US (New York) \nFurther questions can be emailed to: \nDoris Switzer \nEnvironmental Science Initiative Coordinator \nswitzer@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Environmental Science Initiative Seminar: Shannon LaDeau\, PhD\, Cary Institute of Ecosystems Studies
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Shannon LaDeau\, PhD\, Disease Ecologist\, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies\, will present a one- hour talk titled: \n Racial Legacies\, Mosquito Ecology\, and Human Exposure Risk in a Temperate City \nAbstract: Vector-borne disease (VBD) is a growing risk to urban communities across the globe. Rising cases of mosquito-borne viruses such as dengue\, Zika and chikungunya in temperate cities highlight critical gaps in understanding of how interacting ecological and socio-economic conditions influence VBD risk in complex\, seasonal landscapes. Our multidisciplinary research team explores important trends and mechanisms explaining changing mosquito-human exposure in Baltimore City\, MD (USA). Our results show how legacies of race-based investment continue to influence variability in mosquito abundances and human exposure\, and that interacting poverty and climate forces can affect mosquito traits that are important to fitness and viral transmission. Finally\, we explore how changing climate and urban greening efforts continuously refine the heterogeneous riskscape of VBD in temperate cities and consider relevant scales of predictability and management potential. \nBio: Shannon LaDeau is a community and disease ecologist at Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook\, NY. Her research program integrates empirical and model-based studies to better understand how species interactions\, abiotic filters\, and environmental stochasticity influence community function in real (often urban) landscapes. Her current work emphasizes data-model integration approaches for forecasting tick and mosquito vector abundances\, traits\, and associated human risk in the context of global change. LaDeau received her PhD at Duke University and completed an NSF Bioinformatics Postdoctoral Fellowship with Smithsonian Institution and the Ohio State University before joining the Cary Institute in 2008. \nThis seminar series will take place in the 1st Fl Seminar Room with the option to join via Zoom. \nPlease follow lobby signage directing you to the 1st Fl corridor windows where you will then walk right until reaching the 1st Fl Seminar Room. \nMeeting ID: 892 7906 4948 Passcode: 516742\nDial by your location: +1 646 558 8656 US (New York) \nFurther questions can be emailed to: \nDoris Switzer \nEnvironmental Science Initiative Coordinator \nswitzer@gc.cuny.edu

DESCRIPTION:In this one- hour seminar Beizhan Yan\, PhD\, Lamont Associate Research Professor at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University will present a one-hour talk titled: “Microplastic Distribution and Associated Pathogens and Pollutants in NYC Waterways.” \nAbstract: Varying levels of microplastics were observed in NYC waters\, with the highest concentration observed in Newtown Creek and the lowest in the Hudson upstream of New York Harbor. Additionally\, in-situ adsorption experiments conducted in Newtown Creek and Brooklyn Navy Yard demonstrated the potential of microplastics to transport pollutants and pathogens including tuberculosis. Notably\, flame retardant compounds such as PCBs\, PBDEs\, and TBBPA were found on plastic pellet surfaces\, with significantly higher adsorption on HDPE compared to PVC. Gene analyses revealed significant differences in microbial community between water and plastic samples. Using a modeling approach\, we estimated that the\nresidence time of microplastics in the Harbor-estuary region is approximately two weeks\, with a predominant transport pathway down the New Jersey coast\, eventually entering the Atlantic Ocean. \nBio: Dr. Beizhan Yan received his Ph.D. in 2004 from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)\, Troy\, NY and currently\, he is a Lamont Associate Research Professor at Lamont- Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University. In 2007\, he joined LDEO\, and since then\, he has established an Environmental Organic Geochemistry Lab from scratch with the ability to extract\, isolate\, and identify organic contaminants and biomarkers from environmental and biological samples. He is leading collaborative studies in measuring the microplastic and nanoplastics in NYC waterways and air and characterizing their exposures\, and linking exposures to various adverse health outcomes\, including neurodegeneration diseases. \nThis seminar will take place in person\, with lunch provided at 1pm.
