SUMMARY:How to Combat Unconscious Bias in Academia
DESCRIPTION:The recently published NSF Survey on Doctorate Recipients\, 2019\, highlights the lack of progress made in diversifying the STEM professoriate. Hispanic or Latinx scientists and engineers comprise 5% of PhDs employed by 4-year educational institutions\, and Black or African American scientists and engineers\, 4%. During this event\, we will explore one contributing factor to underrepresentation in academia\, unconscious bias\, and discuss ways to counteract and even begin to alter our own and the STEM community’s underlying and hidden biases. \nRegister for this event here. \nFor more information\, contact Reima Ramsamooj at rramsamooj@gc.cuny.edu.

SUMMARY:Converge to Transform: Interdisciplinary STEM Seminar Series - Mikhail Shapiro\, California Institute of Technology
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mikhail Shapiro\, PhD\, Professor of Chemical Engineering\, Investigator\, Heritage Medical Research Institute\, California Institute of Technology \nTitle: Talking to cells: technologies to image and control cellular function deep inside the body. \nRegister for the seminar here: https://asrc.formstack.com/forms/converge_to_transform_series_092821 \nResearchers today simultaneously need to address a growing demand for technological advances and an expanding list of threats to our planet and humanity. Solutions to these challenges will not be realized within siloed areas of research\, but through the kinds of dynamic\, innovative thought produced when researchers work across disciplines. Thus\, the ASRC hosts a new seminar series for the 2021-22 academic year to highlight outstanding\, high impact\, inspiring interdisciplinary STEM research for the public good. The series will bring together researchers across many disciplines as well as enrich CUNY’s undergraduate and graduate student and postdoctoral fellow training experiences. Speakers in this series will present recent advances in nanomaterials\, nanotechnology\, imaging\, computational biology\, environmental impacts on human health\, epigenetics\, and molecular and cellular causes of cancer and neurodegeneration. \nThe first speaker in this series\, Mikhail Shapiro\, PhD\, Professor of Chemical Engineering\, Caltech\, will give a talk titled\, “Talking to cells: technologies to image and control cellular function deep inside the body.” Prof. Shapiro joined the Caltech faculty in 2014 after receiving his BS in Neuroscience at Brown University and his PhD in Biological Engineering at MIT. At MIT\, he worked with Alan Jasanoff to develop novel contrast agents and protein nanoparticles for magnetic resonance imaging of specific neurochemicals. After a short stint at Third Rock Ventures\, he took a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago with Francisco Bezanilla and then became a Miller Research Fellow at the University of California – Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Tuo Wang\, Louisiana State Univ
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tuo Wang\, Assistant Professor\, Dept of Chemistry\, Louisiana State Univ \nTitle: Structural Investigations of Plant Biomass and Fungal Cell Walls by Solid-State NMR and Dynamic Nuclear Polarization \nAbstract: Complex carbohydrates play crucial roles in energy storage\, cell recognition\, and structural building. The structure and assembly of these molecules are highly polymorphic and disordered in cellular environments. Here we present the recent progress in investigating two carbohydrate-rich biosystems: fungal pathogens and plant biomass. Using isotopically enriched whole-cell samples\, we determined the conformation\, packing\, hydration\, and motion of polysaccharides and associated biomolecules. Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) is required for overcoming the sensitivity limitation for probing the polymer interface. The cell wall of a major fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus is found to contain hydrophobic scaffolds of chitin and ±-glucans\, which are enclosed in a soft matrix of ²-glucans and glycoproteins. We have identified a uniquely hydrophobic and stiff cell wall architecture in those fungal cells exposed to echinocandin drugs or high salinity and those mutants devoid of major carbohydrate components. This novel mechanism helps the microbes resist external stresses and retain structural integrity. In intact plant stems\, aromatic-edited experiments were conducted to understand the interaction between carbohydrates and lignin. Lignin preferentially binds to the non-flat region of xylan\, which is linked to the flat-ribbon xylan domains that are coating the even surface of cellulose microfibrils. Molecules are better mixed in woody plants\, resulting in stronger interactions between lignin and the cellulose-xylan junctions. The in-depth understanding of microbes’ armor and lignocellulose will facilitate the development of antifungal drugs and biofuel production technology. \nView this seminar live via Zoom \nFor more information about this seminar \, please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Yuan He\, Northwestern University
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Yuan He\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Molecular Biosciences\, Northwestern University \nTitle: Structural Visualization of Chromatin Regulatory Complexes using Cryo-EM \nAbstract: My research program seeks to address the fundamental biological questions of how information stored in DNA is correctly transcribed and how genome integrity is maintained. Transcription is\nthe first process involved in the genetic readout and incorrect spatial and/or temporal patterns of gene transcription contribute to the etiology of many human diseases. The genome is relentlessly subjected to a\nvariety of environmental insults to which cells respond by deploying multiple\, distinct mechanisms to counter the deleterious effects depending on the type of damage sustained. My research program\nintegrates a combination of approaches including protein biochemistry\, biophysics\, and structural biology to elucidate structure-function relationships of complex macromolecular machines. Since establishing\nmy independent laboratory in 2015 at Northwestern University\, we has made significant progress and impactful discoveries addressing fundamental questions regarding how cells have evolved molecular\nmechanisms to read and repair our genome. These include: 1) How does a transcription initiation complex assemble at gene promoters? 2) How does a chromatin remodeling complex expose DNA sequences\nshielded by chromatin? 3) How are DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) detected and repaired? Our work has provided fundamental mechanistic insights into each of these processes at atomic resolution and raised\nimportant questions for future investigations. We anticipate that our scientific contributions have and will continue to shape and advance the exciting\, rapidly growing fields of gene regulation and DNA repair\nwith the results of these studies being directly relevant to human health and disease. \nParticipate via Zoom \nDownload event flyer \nFor more information about this seminar and about joining in online\, please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

DESCRIPTION:To receive the Zoom link\, please send your name and affiliation to mphilipp@gc.cuny.edu. \nSpeaker: Nir London\, Ph.D.\, The Alan and Laraine Fischer Career Development Chair\, Department of Organic Chemistry\, Weizmann Institute of Science \nTitle: Crowdsourcing a Cure for COVID-19 \nAbstract: COVID-19\, caused by SARS-CoV-2\, lacks effective therapeutics. Additionally\, no antiviral drugs or vaccines were developed against the closely related coronavirus\, SARS-CoV-1 or MERS-CoV\, despite previous zoonotic outbreaks. To identify starting points for such therapeutics\, we performed a large-scale screen of electrophile and non-covalent fragments through a combined mass spectrometry and X-ray approach against the SARS-CoV-2 main protease. The results with more than 71 co-crystal structures that span the entire active site\, were released to the public and we implemented a crowd-sourcing platform to solicit next generation design ideas. Thousands of suggestions were submitted\, of which we made and tested >1\,500\, through a global consortium including academic labs\, chemical vendors\, pharma advisors and more. This effort resulted in <100nM inhibitors with crystallographic confirmation and activity in live virus assays. Crowd computing (Folding@Home) was harnessed for compound optimization; AI (via PostEra) for prioritization and retrosynthesis. This is still an on-going live project that can benefit from the input of medicinal chemists world-wide. We hope this initiative can serve as a template for an alternative drug discovery pipeline for areas that are unappealing to traditional pharma such as pandemic preparedness and antibiotic development.

SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Kathryn Wellen\, Univ of Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kathryn Wellen\, Associate Professor\, Dept of Cancer Biology\, Univ of Pennsylvania \nTitle: Metabolic compartmentalization and adaptations in cancer \nAbstract: Cells continually monitor nutrient availability to adapt to their environment and to inform decisions about survival\, proliferation\, and performance of different functions. Accordingly\, many metabolites play crucial roles as signaling molecules\, in addition to their functions in energy production and biosynthesis. In this presentation\, I will discuss two projects. In the first\, I will discuss the application of new methods to assess metabolism in subcellular compartments such as the nucleus to glean new insights into mechanisms of crosstalk between metabolism and the epigenome. In the second\, I will discuss evidence for engagement of a hexosamine salvage mechanism that cancer cells employ in the face of nutrient deprivation in the tumor microenvironment. \nParticipate via zoom \nDownload event flyer \nFor more information about this seminar and about joining in online\, please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Margaret Johnson\, Johns Hopkins University
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Margaret Johnson\, Assistant Professor\, Dept of Biophysics\, Johns Hopkins University \nTitle: Protein self-assembly at the right time and place \nAbstract: Self-assembly of protein components is ubiquitous across biology\, where these assemblies often must form at specific spatial locations within a cell to do work. In clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) and virion formation\, for example\, multiple protein types must localize to the cell’s plasma membrane to ensure proper transport and communication in and out of cells. We develop theory and computational models\, along with collaboration with experimental groups\, to understand and predict how the success and dynamics of multi-protein self-assembly in pathways like CME can be controlled by stoichiometry\, both active and stochastic driving forces\, and membrane localization. We constructed a relatively simple theoretical model that quantifies how dimensional reduction (change in search space from 3D to 2D) can\, on its own\, provide a powerful driving force promoting assembly after membrane localization\, thereby regulating the timing of assembly. We further showed how the membrane can also significantly accelerate assembly kinetics by orders of magnitude\, largely dependent on the rate of arrival and adsorption to the membrane surface. Applying these ideas\, along with new reaction-diffusion software NERDSS developed by our lab\, we showed how nucleation and growth of clathrin proteins into hexagonal lattices on membranes can be sensitively tuned by the so-called adaptor proteins that link clathrin to the surface. Our model was validated to reproduce quantitatively in vitro fluorescence data tracking clathrin localization to membranes\, and predicts regimes of assembly and spontaneous disassembly that are in close agreement with in vivo measurements. An essential role of many membranelocalized assemblies such as these are to remodel the membrane. We have therefore used continuum thin-film models to characterize how such proteins can drive membrane bending using mechanisms such as helix-insertion and scaffolding\, with distinct energetic costs to each. These theoretical and computational approaches are general and can be applied to diverse biological systems\, helping to understand how both hetero- and homo-subunit assemblies can be controlled to function within the nonequilibrium cell. \nDownload the event flyer \nParticipate in this event via Zoom \nFor more information about this seminar\, please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Eduardo Torres\, Univ of Massachusetts Medical School
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Eduardo Torres\, Assistant Professor\, Dept of Molecular\, Cell & Cancer Biology\, Univ of Massachusetts Medical School \nTitle: Aneuploidy disrupts cellular physiology and metabolism \nAbstract: An abnormal number of chromosomes or aneuploidy accounts for most spontaneous abortions as missegregation of a single chromosome during development is often lethal. Humans with trisomies for chromosomes 13 or 18\, which cause Patau and Edwards syndromes\, respectively\, are born with severe developmental defects and die soon after birth. Only individuals with trisomy 21\, which causes Down syndrome\, can live to adulthood but show cognitive disabilities\, increased risk for leukemias\, autoimmune disorders\, and clinical symptoms associated with premature aging. Notably\, the incidence of aneuploidy increases with age in both somatic and germline tissues in apparently healthy individuals. The mechanisms by which aneuploidy affects cellular function to cause Down syndrome or promote aging are not well understood. Our studies revealed that aneuploidy disrupts the integrity and morphology of the nuclear membrane. Because mutations that affect nuclear morphology cause premature aging\, we hypothesize that the aneuploidy effects on the nucleus drive phenotypic anomalies associated with premature aging in Down syndrome. In addition\, to characterize aneuploidy-driven phenotypes in human cells\, we performed global transcriptome\, proteome\, and phenotypic analyses of primary fibroblasts from individuals with Patau (trisomy 13)\, Edwards (trisomy 18)\, or Down syndromes. On average\, mRNA and protein levels were increased by 1.5-fold in all trisomies\, with a subset of proteins enriched for subunits of macromolecular complexes showing signs of post-transcriptional regulation. Lastly\, we show that several aneuploidy-associated phenotypes are present in trisomy 21 cells\, including lower viability and increased dependency on serine-driven lipid biosynthesis. Our studies establish a critical role of aneuploidy\, independent of triplicated gene identity\, in driving cellular defects associated with Down syndrome. \nParticipate in this event via Zoom \nDownload event flyer \nFor more information about this seminar\, please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Neel H. Shah\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Neel H. Shah\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Chemistry\, Columbia University \nTitle: Sequence-dependent tuning of inputs and outputs in phosphotyrosine signaling \nAbstract: Signal transduction through protein tyrosine phosphorylation is critical for many core functions of animal cells\, including proliferation\, survival\, programmed death\, and cell-cell communication. These processes are mediated by two large enzyme families\, tyrosine kinases and tyrosine phosphatases\, that collectively control the phosphorylation states of thousands of sites in human proteins. While it is well-established that tyrosine kinases and phosphatases can engage phosphorylation sites in a sequence dependent manner\, we know surprisingly little about how the sequences of phosphosites actually shape and tune signaling pathways. In this talk\, I will describe a high-throughput biochemical platform that we have developed to profile the sequence specificities of phosphotyrosine signaling proteins. I will discuss how this technique has yielded new insights into T cell activation and how it can be used for the large-scale characterization of disease-associated mutations proximal to tyrosine phosphorylation sites. Finally\, I will describe our efforts to understand the sequence-dependent activation of signaling enzymes bearing phosphotyrosine-recognition domains. \nDownload flyer \nParticipate via Zoom » \nFor more information about this seminar\, please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Sharing Your Research Through Images & Graphics
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the Communicating Your Science series. \nThis series features presentations by The Graduate Center’s science librarian and communications staff\, journal editors\, and reporters. The goal of this series is to enhance the professional development and science communication skills of CUNY STEM faculty\, postdocs\, and students. Learn more » \n\nFrom journal publications to news stories and social media shares\, powerful images are essential to engaging and helping audiences understand new science. \nJoin us for an exciting edition of Communicating Your Science where our expert panel will explore tips and tools for creating graphics and other visuals that convey your research findings to diverse audiences in clear and compelling ways. Hear from: \n\nEd Bell\, a STEM graphic artist and animator\, and the former art director for Scientific American.\nSara Fresard\, a PhD student with the CUNY Graduate Center Biology program and a currentLennihan Arts & Science grantee who is researching how art-based practices can humanize science.\nFloor Grootenhuis\, an artist-in-residence at the Raper Lab at Hunter College where she works with researchers to help them translate their science into a visual language.\n\nThere will be time for Q&A. \nYou can sign-up here for this month’s Communicating Your Science event. \nFor more information\, contact Shawn Rhea at srhea@gc.cuny.edu.
