SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Qing R. Fan\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Qing R. Fan\, Associate Professor of Pharmacology\, Pathology\, and Cell Biology at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center\, NY\, will be giving a one-hour talk titled: \n Structural mechanisms of ligand activation in dimeric GPCRs \nABSTRACT Our research seeks to uncover the molecular mechanisms of activation and modulation of dimeric G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). GPCRs are distinguished by their seven-helix transmembrane domain which couples with specific G proteins to initiate downstream signaling cascades. They respond to a diverse array of external stimuli and constitute 30-50% of clinical drug targets. \nGPCRs are divided into several classes. The class C family of GPCRs are unique in that they are obligate dimers and possess substantial extracellular domains. These receptors bind activating ligands remotely in the extracellular domain\, which then transmits signals into and through the transmembrane domain for G protein activation. We are working to understand the activation mechanisms in two class C GPCR systems: human GABAB receptor and human calcium-sensing (CaS) receptor. \nGABAB receptor functions as an obligatory heterodimer to mediate inhibitory neurotransmission. We determined the extracellular-domain structures of GABAB receptor in three functional states: in the apo form\, bound to six different antagonists\, and bound to two different agonists. Our structures revealed the molecular mechanisms of ligand recognition and activation in GABAB receptor. \nWe recently solved a structure of near full-length GABAB receptor\, captured in the inactive state by cryo-electron microscopy. Our structure revealed a novel heterodimer interface between the transmembrane domains of GABAB subunits. This interface embodies the signature of GABAB receptor’s inactive conformation. Furthermore\, we identified a unique- intersubunit latch- motif within this transmembrane interface that maintains the inactive state of the receptor\, since its disruption through mutations results in constitutive receptor activity. We also discovered multiple ligands pre-associated with the receptor\, including a Ca2+ near the orthosteric agonist-binding site to upregulate receptor activity and two large endogenous phospholipids embedded within the TM domains to maintain receptor integrity. \nCaS receptor functions as a homodimer to control extracellular Ca2+ homeostasis. We determined the extracellular-domain structures of human CaS receptor in the resting and active conformations. Our structures revealed novel binding sites for Ca2+\, PO43-\, and L-amino acids. Surprisingly\, we discovered that L-amino acids are orthosteric agonists of CaS receptor\, and act jointly with Ca2+ to trigger receptor activation. Additionally\, PO43- mediates inhibition of CaS receptor activity. \nWe recently obtained the structures of a near-full length CaS receptor in three functional states\, an inactive-state structure in the presence of a negative allosteric modulator\, and two active-state structures in the absence and presence of a positive allosteric modulator. We found that CaS receptor activation involves a rearrangement of the transmembrane homodimer and formation of a novel dimer interface. In the inactive structure\, direct transmembrane contact is absent. The critical development during receptor activation arises from a helix-breaking event that facilitates the formation of a transmembrane homodimer interface. \nThis seminar will be presented in the auditorium and via Zoom. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nZoom access >>> \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nJennifer Chow \njchow@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Paul Lombroso\, Yale University
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the first talk in this fall seminar series\, to be presented by Paul Lombroso\, Director of the Laboratory of Molecular Neurobiology at Yale University School of Medicine\, New Haven\, CT\, titled: \nTaking STEPs to Improve Cognition \nABSTRACT- The Lombroso laboratory focuses on mammalian learning and how these processes are disrupted in various neuropsychiatric disorders. Central to this investigation is a brain-specific protein tyrosine phosphatase called STEP and its role in regulating intracellular signaling. STEP protein levels are increased in several neuropsychiatric disorders\, including Alzheimer’s disease\, schizophrenia and fragile X syndrome. Earlier work showed that STEP regulates ERK1/2 and Fyn by dephosphorylating and inactivating them. STEP also regulates the cell surface expression of AMPA and NMDA glutamate receptors and leads to their endocytosis. Signals that lead to STEP inactivation potentiate learning\, whereas signals that lead to STEP activation oppose the development of synaptic plasticity. We use biochemical\, molecular\, immunocytochemical\, and behavioral techniques in animal models to address the role that STEP normally plays in regulating aspects of learning and the role STEP plays in cognitive disorders. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to begin at 11:30am. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nZoom access>>> \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nJennifer Chow \njchow@gc.cuny.edu

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: Interdisciplinary STEM Seminar Series: Juan Pablo Giraldo
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a one-hour talk\, in part of the ASRC’s Converge to Transform seminar series\, from Dr. Juan Pablo Giraldo titled: \n“Targeted multifunctional nanomaterials for agriculture and plant biomanufacturing”\nBio- After receiving his Ph.D. in plant biology from Harvard University in 2011\, Dr. Juan Pablo Giraldo worked on plant nanobiotechnology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a National Science Foundation (NSF) Postdoctoral Fellow. Since 2015 his Lab at the University of California\, Riverside works at the interface between plant biology and nanotechnology. Nanomaterials have unique mechanical\, optical\, electronic\, and chemical properties that have been widely exploited in biomedical research\, but their use in plant biology research and bioengineering remain largely unexplored. The Giraldo lab aims to develop targeted and controllable nanomaterial-based research tools to study and engineer plant function and develop sustainable agricultural and plant biomanufacturing technologies. The lab is supported by multiple awards from the NSF biological sciences\, engineering\, and chemistry divisions\, and USDA NIFA. Giraldo is a principal investigator of the NSF Center of Sustainable Nanotechnology. His team is working in collaboration with industry partners including BASF and Mosaic Inc to translate fundamental lab research on plant nanobiotechnology into safe and sustainable commercial applications. \n  \nLab website: http://www.giraldolab.com \nThis one-hour seminar will take place in the ASRC auditorium\, and be broadcast via Zoom. \nRegister Here for in-person and virtual participation/ to access a Zoom link.  \nFor further questions about this hybrid event\, please contact: \nShelby Truitt \nstruitt@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Qitong Li\, Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Photonics Initiative for a one-hour talk from Qitong Li\, titled: \nImproved Light-Field Control and Light-Matter Interaction via Optically Resonant Nanostructures for Device Applications \nAbstract – The Starting from the 1970s\, great efforts have been made to miniaturize bulky optical devices. This progress accelerated significantly over the last decade due to the emerging field of metasurfaces. These planar nanophotonic devices\, made from judiciously-engineered\, subwavelength-thick optical nano-resonators\, are capable of controlling the amplitude\, phase\, and spectral properties of light waves with subwavelength resolution\, and therefore have the potential to replace a wide range of bulk optical elements with flat optics. Given the dimension of these flat optical elements becomes compatible with on-chip electronics\, we now foresee an unprecedented opportunity to boost the performance and design novel functionalities for optoelectronic devices via its smart integration with metasurface optical elements. In this talk\, I will discuss specifically how to leverage the emergent properties of optically resonant nano-structures to achieve the improved control over the emission\, propagation\, and absorption of the light-fields at the nano[1]scale for various device applications\, such as photodetectors\, reflective displays\, and optical modulators. \nI will first talk about the radiative nature of Mie-type optical resonances and how it leads to novel optical resonances in a cluster of nano-resonators beyond the chemical bonding model [1]. I will exemplify how this new optical resonance arising from the radiative coupling between arrayed silicon nanowires can be harnessed to remove reflections from dielectric interfaces\, while affording spectro-polarimetric detection by extracting resonance-enhanced photocurrents in silicon nanowires [2]. The demonstrated transparent photodetector concept opens up promising platforms for transparent substrates as the base for opto[1]electronic devices and in situ optical measurement systems. \nNext\, I will show that the above concept can be extended to further illustrate why metasurface optofluidics\, which is comprised of dense arrays of strongly scattering silicon nano-resonators in automatically controlled microfluidic channels\, could become the new “ink” in transparent electronic ink-displays [3]. The silicon nano[1]resonator arrays here function as a metasurface mirror that can provide on-demand resonant electric and magnetic surface currents at optical frequencies. Thanks to the radiative-coupling nature in arrayed silicon nano-resonators\, dielectric screening can be used to tune the resonant frequencies and optical quality factors of these surface currents very efficiently\, leading to the intensity and spectral tuning of metasurface[1]color-pixels as well as on-demand optical elements. \nFinally\, I will talk about how to use a silver metasurface top gating pad in a metal-oxide-semiconductor configuration to boost the light-exciton interaction in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers. Specifically\, I will discuss the strategy to tailor the dispersions and the leakage of the surface plasmon polaritons supported by the silver metasurface pad\, and how this strong near-field enhancement can amplify the radiative decay rate of excitons by one order of magnitude. As a result\, we demonstrate an very efficient monolayer semiconductor (WS2) free-space optical modulator at room temperature\, experimentally enabling 10% absolute reflection modulation and 3dB modulation on/off ratio\, improving the reflection modulation effect by twenty times as compared with a suspended monolayer of WS2 [4]. We further extend the concept from reflection modulation to dynamic light-field control by designing a blazed silver metasurface grating as the gating pad\, where the first order diffraction efficiency of the reflected beam is electrically modulated. The successful integration of nanophotonics with monolayer semiconductor optoelectronic devices paves the way towards multi-functional and ultra-compact hybrid low-dimensional meta-devices. \n  \nReferences: [1] Qitong Li\, Tong Wu\, Jorik van de Groep\, Philippe Lalanne\, and Mark L.

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Tingyi Gu\, University of Delaware
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one- hour talk from Tingyi Gu\, University of Delaware\, on June 14th\, at 12pm titled: \n Embedded meta-atoms in integrated photonics  \nAbstract – The advancement of nanotechnologies enables powerful control of photons by subwavelength structures. In recent years\, rapid advancement of metasurface and metamaterials reveal the potential of nanophotonics in the applications across disciplines\, from hyperspectral imaging to mathematical operations. One question emerges as: is metasurfaces’ applications limited in deterministic spatial/spectral information or it can play more powerful roles in machine learning and dealing with uncertainties. In this talk I will review recent works on this track and introduce integrated photonic metasurface components\, from miniaturized 4-f system to large-scale deep learning. With lithographically defined inter-layer alignment\, we demonstrate diffractive deep optical network on silicon photonic platform\, towards broadband spatial pattern classification and hyperspectral imaging. The high-throughput vector-by-matrix multiplications is enabled by 103 passive subwavelength phase shifters as weight elements. The integrated metasystem performs analogue optical computing tasks\, from simple fourier transformation [1] to complicated image classification [2]. In addition\, the symmetric of those embedded meta-atoms control the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian of the integrated photonic system and drive the system towards ‘exceptional point’. This presentation illustrates the design principle of the foundry compatible metasystem\, and its implementation of the non- Hermitian resonators\, low loss photonic mode converters\, differentiators\, and hyperspectral image classifiers. Active control strategies will also be covered\, by utilizing 2D materials [3] and phase change materials [4]. \nBio –Tingyi Gu’s research focuses on integrated photonic devices\, developing optical components with new materials for optical communication and sensing applications. She investigates the physics of silicon and chalcogenide-based hybrid nanophotonic devices\, and characterizes their potential for large-scale integration\, high speed on-chip signal processing and sensing applications. Her work studies nonconventional photonic and electronic properties of nanostructured materials built by different integration techniques and aims to achieve a good understanding of the nanostructured materials photonic functionalities and build a scalable integrated photonic system. She joined the ECE faculty of the University of Delaware in the fall of 2016. She received a B.S. with honors in electrical engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University\, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Columbia University. At Bell labs\, she worked on silicon photonic network-on-chip systems. She completed postdoctoral research in the Large-Scale Integrated Photonics research group at Hewlett Packard Labs in Palo Alto\, CA\, studying large-scale nonlinear photonic circuits. She also completed postdoctoral work at Princeton University as a PRISM fellow\, studying solution processed chalcogenide materials. \nReferences: \n[1] Z. Wang\, T. Li\, A. Soman\, D. Mao\, T.
