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: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

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:Photonics Seminar: Jeremy Levy\, University of Pittsburgh
DESCRIPTION:Please join us October 3rd\,  for a one-hour talk from Professor Jeremy Levy\, Department of Physics and Astronomy\, University of Pittsburgh\, titled: \n Correlated Nanoelectronics and the Second Quantum Revolution \n\nAbstract – Strongly correlated electronic materials and quantum transport of nanoelectronic systems are areas of research that have traditionally followed non-intersecting paths. With the development of complex-oxide heterostructures and nanostructures\, a nascent field of Correlated Nanoelectronics has emerged. My research program makes extensive use of nanoscale reconfigurability of a complex-oxide heterostructure formed from a thin layer of LaAlO3 grown on SrTiO3. Like an Etch-aSketch toy\, the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface can be drawn (and erased) with 2 nm resolution to create a remarkable range of quantum devices. These nanoscale devices can be “aimed” back at the materials themselves to provide insight into their inner workings. This platform has already produced two novel phases of electronic matter: one in which electrons form bound pairs without becoming superconducting\, and a family of one-dimensional degenerate quantum liquids formed from n-tuples of bound electrons. A rich and growing palette of quantum building blocks are currently being explored for applications in quantum computing\, quantum simulation\, and quantum sensing\, major goals of the Second Quantum Revolution. \nBio – Dr. Jeremy Levy is a Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of Pittsburgh in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pittsburgh. He received an A.B. degree in physics from Harvard University in 1988\, and a Ph.D. degree in physics from UC Santa Barbara in 1993. After a postdoctoral position at UC Santa Barbara\, he joined the University of Pittsburgh in 1996. His research interests center around the emerging field of oxide nanoelectronics\, experimental and theoretical realizations for quantum computation\, semiconductor and oxide spintronics\, quantum transport and nanoscale optics\, and dynamical phenomena in oxide materials and films. He is a Class of 2015 Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellow\, a Fellow of the APS and AAAS\, a recipient of the 2008 Nano50 Innovator Award\, and the NSF Career Award.

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Dennis Prather\, University of Delaware
DESCRIPTION:Please join us October 7th\,  for a one-hour talk from Professor Dennis Prather\, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, University of Delaware\, titled: \nPhotonic Technologies for Frequency Agnostic RF Phased Array Systems \n\nAbstract – This presentation will introduce a new approach to realizing broadband RF phased array antenna systems that provide software defined multi-function operation. The approach uses an antenna system that based on spatial perception\, i.e.\, imaging of the RF environment\, and thereby provides inherent spatial orthogonality to beam space processing which minimizes inter-beam interaction and thereby mitigates interference and/or jamming. While most antennas incorporate some degree of spatial selectivity\, few are able to resolve hundreds of high bandwidth RF beams while enabling each to operate with independent functionality all at the same time. To demonstrate this capability\, we have developed a spatially-coherent optical up-conversion process that relies on an RF-photonic feed network to perform real-time\, massive beam-space processing\, where each received beam is focused and thereby spatially resolved\, or isolated\, from all other beams\, which results in a real-time “image” of the RF scene. In so doing\, each beam is spatially orthogonal from the rest\, which mitigates co- and adjacent-channel interference and jamming. In addition\, each focused signal is optically down-converted to an intermediate frequency (IF) where high dynamic range analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) can be used. Thus\, there is no need for ADCs that operate above the IF bandwidth. This dramatically improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and dynamic range\, which is essential for multi-functional operation. Also\, because the read-out network is based on optical fibers\, it is inherently broadband and\, thus\, a single RF aperture can be used for simultaneous\, multi-functional operation over extremely broad bandwidths. The end result is a multifunctional system that enables extreme spatial diversity and frequency agility\, which is necessary to ensure efficient and effective RF systems in an increasingly congested and contested electromagnetic environment. Design methodology\, fabrication methods for both photonic and electronic devices\, as well as system integration and demonstration will be presented. \nBio – Professor Prather is currently an Endowed Professor of Electrical Engineering\, he is a Fellow of the IEEE\, Fellow of the Society of Photo-Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)\, Fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA) and Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. He has authored or co-authored over 650 scientific papers\, holds over 40 patents\, and has written 16 books/book-chapters. \nThis one-hour seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with time for Q and A to follow. \nZoom Meeting ID: 595 955 6744 \nPasscode:\n119921 \nFor more information about this hybrid event\, please contact: \nLeah Abraha \nlabraha@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Andrea Ferrari\, University of Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Please join the ASRC Photonics Initiative for a one-hour seminar\, presented by Andrea Ferrari\, University of Cambridge\, titled: \n Layered Materials: Characterization and Applications \nAbstract – Graphene and layered materials (LMs) have great potential in photonics and optoelectronics\, where the combination of their optical and electronic properties can be fully exploited\, and the absence of a bandgap in graphene can be beneficial. The linear dispersion of the Dirac electrons in graphene enables ultra-wide-band tunability as well as gate controllable third-harmonic enhancement over an ultra-broad bandwidth\, paving the way for electrically tuneable broadband frequency converters for optical communications and signal processing. Saturable absorption is observed as a consequence of Pauli blocking and can be exploited for mode-locking of a variety of ultrafast and broadband lasers. Graphene integrated photonics is a platform for wafer scale manufacturing of modulators\, detectors and switches for next generation datacom and telecom. Heterostructures based on LMs have properties different from those of their individual constituents and of their three dimensional counterparts. These can be exploited in novel light emitting devices\, such as single photon emitters\, and tuneable light emitting diodes. LMs have potential for quantum technologies\, as scalable sources of single photon emitters (SPEs). Quantum emitters in LMs hold potential in terms of scalability\, miniaturization\, integration. Generation of quantum emission from the recombination of indirect excitons in heterostructures made of different LMs is a path with enormous potential. I will overview production\, characterization and application of graphene and LMs\, focussing optical and quantum applications. \nBio – Andrea C. Ferrari earned a PhD in electrical engineering from Cambridge University\, after a Laurea in nuclear engineering from Politecnico di Milano\, Italy. He is Professor of nanotechnology and Professorial Fellow of Pembroke College. He founded and directs the Cambridge Graphene Centre and the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Graphene Technology. He chairs the management panel and is the Science and Technology Officer of the European Graphene Flagship. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society\, Fellow of the Materials Research Society\, Fellow of the Institute of Physics\, Fellow of the Optical Society and he has been recipient of numerous awards\, such as the Royal Society Brian Mercer Award for Innovation\, the Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award\, the Marie Curie Excellence Award\, the Philip Leverhulme Prize\, The EU-40 Materials Prize.

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Aashish Clerk\, University of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Photonics Initiative for a one-hour seminar from Aashish Clerk\, University of Chicago\, titled: \nNon-reciprocal quantum interactions from gauge symmetry \nAbstract – The most common kinds of interactions in physics obey a basic kind of reciprocity: when two systems or particles interact\, each one influences the other\, and information flows in both directions. Engineering quantum interactions that break this symmetry is of both fundamental and practical interest. In this talk\, I will describe a new approach for realizing one-way quantum interactions that does not require breaking time-reversal symmetry\, but instead makes use of a local gauge symmetry present in any Markovian dissipative quantum dynamics. This new route to quantum non-reciprocity is compatible with many experimental setups\, and enables a new\, dissipatively-stabilized approach for implementing quantum gates. I will also discuss a new\, extremely general quantum information-baed metric that allows one to rigorously quantify and compare different kinds of quantum non-reciprocal interactions. \nBio – Aashish Clerk is a theoretical physicist and Professor of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago. Clerk’s research focuses on understanding complex phenomena in quantum systems that are both strongly driven and subject to dissipation; it intersects the fields of condensed matter\, quantum optics and quantum information. His research has applications to various areas of quantum technology\, including sensing\, control\, communication and computing. He received his BSc from the University of Toronto and a PhD in Physics from Cornell University. Prior to joining the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering\, Professor Clerk served as Professor of Physics and Tier-1 Canada Research Chair at McGill University.

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Julian Patrick Klein\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
DESCRIPTION:Please join us October 18th\, for a one-hour talk from Julian Patrick Klein\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, titled: \n Towards atomic level engineered interaction of quantum matter in layered materials \nAbstract – The discovery of quantum materials and the rapid development of instruments equipped to tailor them at the atomic scale are both key enablers for quantum matter engineering with applications in quantum simulation\, quantum photonics and spintronics. \nIn this seminar we will show that the layered magnetic semiconductor CrSBr fulfills several key requirements for controllably engineeredquantum matter. First\, we will show that CrSBr is electronically a quasi-1D material manifesting in its quasiparticles and their mutual interactions. [1] Second\, we will show that CrSBr hosts optically active defects that are correlated with the magnetic phase diagram and with a defect-induced magnetic order. [2] Third\, we will demonstrate that CrSBr is highly amenable to atomic manipulation in a scanning transmission electron microscope undergoing an electron beam induced phase transformation. [3] Lastly\, we will show deep learning augmented defect detection in CrSBr [4] and give a brief outlook on the prospects for periodic atomic level engineered quantum matter in this material. \nOverall\, CrSBr offers optically active localized defects correlated with the magnetic phase diagram while being amenable to atomic level manipulation providing new means to access microscopic many-body phenomena using optical spectroscopy. \n[1] Klein\, J. et al.\, The bulk van der Waals layered magnet CrSBr is a quasi-1D quantum material\narXiv:2205.13456 under review (2022)\n[2] Klein\, J. et al.\, Sensing the local magnetic environment through optically active defects in a layered\nmagnetic semiconductor arXiv:2207.02884 under review (2022)\n[3] Klein\, J. et al.\, Control of structure and spin texture in the van der Waals layered magnet CrSBr\narXiv:2107.00037 in print Nat.

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Carrie Partch\, UC Santa Cruz
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Carrie Partch\, Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry\, University of California at Santa Cruz\, Santa Cruz\, CA\, will be giving a one-hour talk titled: \nMorning larks and night owls shed light on human circadian timekeeping\n \nABSTRACT Our lives are intimately linked to Earth’s 24- hour solar cycle via circadian clocks that coordinate physiology and behavior into rhythms that coincide with the day/night cycle. By integrating structural biology\, biochemistry\, and cell biology\, we’ve been working to identify how dedicated clock proteins interact with one another to establish a deeper understanding of the transcription-based feedback loop that underlies circadian rhythms in mammals. Recent insights into the genetic basis of morning lark and night owl behavior have shed light on key molecular steps in the clock that play a powerful role in determining the intrinsic timing of circadian clocks in humans. Some of these recent advances will be discussed to explore the biochemical basis for circadian timekeeping. \nThis seminar will be presented in the 5th floor data visualization room while broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nZoom access>>> \nTo further inquire about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Alexander Shekhtman\, SUNY at Albany
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Alexander Shekhtman\, Professor and Chair\, Department of Chemistry at the The RNA Institute\,\nUniversity at Albany\, State University of New York\, will be presenting a one-hour talk titled: \nIn-cell NMR: What is Inside  \nABSTRACT High-resolution structural studies of proteins and protein complexes in a native prokaryotic and eukaryotic environment present a challenge to structural biology. In-cell NMR can characterize atomic resolution structures but requires high concentrations of labeled proteins to be delivered into intact cells. Most exogenous delivery techniques are either limited to specific cell types or are too destructive to preserve cellular physiology. We demonstrate the feasibility of microfluidics transfection or volume exchange for the convective transfer\, VECT\, as a means to deliver labeled targets to HeLa cells. VECT delivery maintains cell viability thereby providing a route for long-term eukaryotic in-cell NMR experiments. The high viability allows changes in the metabolic state due to internal and external stimuli\, and stresses to be monitored. Protein-protein interactions\, PPIs\, underlie most cellular processes\, but many PPIs depend on a particular metabolic state that can only be observed in live\, actively metabolizing cells. Real-time in-cell NMR spectroscopy\, RT-NMR\, utilizes a bioreactor to maintain cells in an active metabolic state and unmasks functional protein-protein interactions that are absent without active metabolism. The combination of a bioreactor and VECT technology will facilitate the study of protein interactions in the most relevant physiological states. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start 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: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu
