SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Timothy J. Stasevich\, Colorado State University
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Timothy J. Stasevich\, Associate Professor\, Dept. of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology Colorado State University \nTitle: Real-time quantification of gene expression with single-molecule precision in living cells \nAbstract: My lab is creating technology to image gene expression in real time and with single-molecule precision in living cells. Using tandem-repeat mRNA and protein tags\, genetically encoded intrabodies\, and single-molecule microscopy\, we now regularly image the live-cell translation dynamics of single mRNAs. In this talk\, I will introduce our technology and describe how it can be used to amplify fluorescent signals within single translation sites. I will show how we quantify these signals to determine the size\, shape\, subcellular localization\, and mobilities of translation sites\, as well as their ribosomal densities and translational initiation and elongation kinetics. I will then highlight a few recent applications of our technology\, including the imaging of translation shutdown during cellular stress\, HIV-1 translational frameshifting\, and non-canonical translation initiation at internal ribosomal entry sites. I will conclude by discussing new intrabodies my lab has engineered that bind the classic HA and FLAG epitopes in living cells. As these intrabodies can be encoded on plasmids\, they can easily be adapted by other labs to image translation in multiple colors and in diverse living systems. \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: Vincenzo Venditti\, Iowa State University
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Vincenzo Venditti\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Chemistry\, Iowa State University \nTitle: Conformational disorder in regulation of biological catalysts \nAbstract: Proteins display different degrees of structural heterogeneity\, going from proteins that fold into a unique rigid structure to intrinsically disordered proteins\, with a continuum of possibilities in between. Conformational disorder is emerging as an important feature of biopolymers\, regulating a vast array of cellular functions\, including signaling\, protein aggregation\, and phase separation. In this seminar\, I will present NMR\, crystallography\, computer simulation\, protein engineering\, and functional assay data that support a role for structural heterogeneity and conformational disorder in functional regulation of slow enzymes such as the C-terminal domain Enzyme I of the bacterial phosphotransferase system (PTS)\, and the human RNA demethylases FTO and Alkbh5. Strategies will be discussed as to exploit structural disorder for the development of specific inhibitors of these important pharmaceutical targets. \nFor more information about this seminar and about joining in online\, please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Virtual Film Screening: PICTURE A SCIENTIST
DESCRIPTION:Join the CUNY ASRC and CUNY Office of Research for a virtual screening of PICTURE A SCIENTIST\, a film that chronicles the groundswell of researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists. Biologist Nancy Hopkins\, chemist Raychelle Burks\, and geologist Jane Willenbring lead viewers on a journey deep into their own experiences in the sciences\, ranging from brutal harassment to years of subtle slights. Along the way\, from cramped laboratories to spectacular field stations\, we encounter scientific luminaries – including social scientists\, neuroscientists\, and psychologists – who provide new perspectives on how to make science itself more diverse\, equitable\, and open to all. \nPICTURE A SCIENTIST was an official selection of the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival\, postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film’s virtual theatrical run reached 47 theaters across the USA in June 2020\, and raised money for two organizations advancing women of color in STEM. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:The Urban Public University as an Engine of Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Please join the CUNY ASRC and CUNY Graduate School of Public Health on Tuesday\, July 7 for the next session of the Thriving after Massive Global Disruption webinar series hosted by the University of Strathclyde (UK) and involving partner Universities from across the globe. \nTuesday\, July 7\, 2020\, 9:00 a.m. ET\nREGISTER: https://bit.ly/ThriveAfterPandemic \nThe COVID-19 pandemic is a stark example of how crises inevitably impact marginalized and poor people most. In the United States\, the virus continues to infect Black and Latinx communities at a disproportional rate\, and these communities experience worse health outcomes. Myriad underlying racial\, ethnic and economic disparities led to this\, and these disparities are exacerbated by the repercussions of the pandemic. Our panel will address three relevant areas simultaneously in crisis in the United States: public health\, the environment\, and public education. The interconnectedness of these crises is especially apparent in dense and diverse urban environments like New York City\, and the crafted solutions must meet local needs. We will explore how urban public higher education and convergent research can help lead the charge toward finding and implementing solutions to this complex and interwoven set of crises. \nWe will discuss: \n\nHow public urban universities like CUNY and interdisciplinary research centers like the CUNY ASRC can play a catalytic role in helping cities thrive by driving diverse STEM workforce development\, rethinking the curriculum to promote convergence and systems thinking\, and promoting data-driven policymaking.\nThe role of convergent research in realizing effective solutions and the development and democratization of state-of-the-art scientific technologies that help predict\, quantify\, prevent and counter environmental issues and future pandemics.\n\nPanelists:  \nRein Ulijn is director of the ASRC Nanoscience Initiative\, director of the ASRC Center for Advanced Technologies in Sensors (Sensor CAT) and Einstein Professor of Chemistry at Hunter College. Ulijn’s research\, educational and administrative roles span developing sustainable nanoscience solutions that have applications in health care and environmental mitigation and driving workforce development and science technology startups in New York. \nLuisa Borrell is a Distinguished Professor at the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics\, Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy\, City University of New York (CUNY). Her research interest is on race and ethnicity\, socioeconomic position\, and neighborhood effects as social determinants of health. She has expertise in racial/ethnic disparities in health and oral health\, research methods and the analysis of large databases\, including survey\, census and spatially linked data. She has published on the areas of race/ethnicity\, socioeconomic position\, and neighborhood effects on health and oral outcomes as well as mortality. \nCharlie Vörösmarty is Director of the ASRC Environmental Sciences Initiative and Einstein Professor of Civil Engineering at the City College of New York. His research focuses on the development of computer models and geospatial data sets used in synthesis studies of the interactions among the water cycle\, climate\, biogeochemistry and anthropogenic activities. His work on human-water interactions includes earth system modeling of the Northeastern United States\, development and analysis of databases depicting reservoir construction worldwide and how they generate downstream coastal zone risks\, and global threats to human water security and aquatic biodiversity. \nAnnette “Nina” Gray is Executive Director of the ASRC and Associate Dean for the Sciences at The Graduate Center\, CUNY. She oversees all ASRC operations\, research activities\, and educational initiatives. She also develops programs and partnerships to enhance interdisciplinary scientific research and education in order to advance the center’s vision to improve human\, societal\, and environmental well-being in the decades to come. \nHost:

SUMMARY:(CANCELLED) Nanoscience Seminar: Dibyendu Das\, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dibyendu Das\, Ph.D.\, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata\, West Bengal\, India \nTitle: Designed Negative Feedback from Transiently formed Catalytic Nanostructures \nAbstract: Structures in living systems manipulate the high energy ester bonds of chemical fuels to create dissipative assemblies which can access emergent functions such as catalysis. Highly dynamic and complex systems of microtubules undergo substrate driven change of conformation which leads to polymerization.1 Through this talk\, I will show our recent results which demonstrate through a simple model system\, the realization of a substrate driven dissipative self-assembled state by utilizing the catalytic effects of histidines on the kinetically stable ester bond.2-4 Out of equilibrium state is achieved due to two distinct pathways both catalyzed by histidine\, installed in the simple lipid based structure. Further\, I will share the latest data on temporal control of function by these artificial transient systems.3 \nReferences: \n\nPezzato\, C.; Prins\, L\, J Commun. 2015\, 6\, 7790.\nAfrose\, S.

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Jyotirmoy Mandal\, UCLA
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jyotirmoy Mandal Ph.D.\, University of California\, Los Angeles \nTitle: Radiative Cooling Under the Earth’s Glow \nAbstract: Passive radiative cooling (PRC) of objects involves radiative heat loss into the cold outer space through the long wavelength infrared (LWIR) atmospheric transmission window. Due to its passive operation and net cooling effect\, it is a promising alternative or complement to electrical cooling. For efficient PRC of objects\, an unimpeded view of the sky is ideal. However\, the view of the sky is often limited – for instance\, the walls of buildings have > 50% of their field of view subtended by the earth\, while low-lying roofs are overshadowed by taller buildings. Moreover\, objects on earth become heat sources under sunlight. Therefore\, buildings with hot terrestrial objects in view experience reduced cooling or even heating. \nWe show that by using common materials with selective LWIR emittances\, walls and roofs can radiatively cool to considerably lower temperatures than achievable by using traditional broadband emitters like paints. Cooling enhancements (theoretical and demonstrated) achieved by such materials opens opportunities for the appropriate selection and design of materials for building envelopes. \nBio: Jyotirmoy “Jyoti” Mandal received his Ph.D. from Columbia University in June 2019\, where he created high-performance and low-cost solar heaters and radiative coolers for\, and designs that can switch between heating and cooling modes. Currently\, he is a Schmidt Science Fellow at University of California\, Los Angeles. There\, as a postdoctoral researcher in the Aaswath Raman group\, he is creating optical components and radiative cooling designs. Besides scientific novelty and performance\, a guiding consideration for his designs was low-cost and simplicity of fabrication needed for use in developing countries. Besides radiative cooling and optical design\, his interests include photonics of disordered materials\, climate science and geoengineering\, and sustainable building design. \nFor more information about joining in remotely\, contact Leah Abraha at labraha@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Mikhail Sumetsky\, Aston University (UK)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mikhail Sumetsky\, Aston University (UK) \nTitle: Surface nanoscale axial photonics \nAbstract: Surface Nanoscale Axial Photonics (SNAP) platform\, introduced in 2011\, enables fabrication of nanoscale-shallow microresonator structures at the surface of an optical fiber with subangstrom precision. It employs whispering gallery modes circulating and slowly propagating along the fiber. First\, I review the SNAP theory\, which resembles one-dimensional quantum mechanics\, and its fabrication methods. Next\, I discuss our recent experimental and theoretical results on interplaying slow and tunnelling light\, resonant tunnelling\, and nonlinear SNAP. Finally\, I switch to microfluidics and describe our recent experiments where temporary and permanent SNAP microresonators are induced by water in silica microcapillaries. \nBio: Michael (Misha) Sumetsky graduated from the Saint-Petersburg State University\, Russia\, and has Ph.D. (1979) and D.Sc. (1989) degrees from the same University. He worked at the Physics Department of Saint-Petersburg University of Telecommunications (Russia) from 1979 till 1995 when he joined Bell Laboratories (USA). In 2001\, Dr Sumetsky continued his research at OFS Labs after transition of the Optical Fiber Research Department of Bell Labs into the OFS Labs of the Furukawa Electric Company. In 2013\, he joined Aston University (UK) as a Professor of Photonics. \nFor more information about joining in on Zoom\, contact Leah Abraha at labraha@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Mikhail Shalaev\, Duke University
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mikhail Shalaev\, Duke University \nTitle: Metamaterials and Topology-Enabled Light-Matter Interactions \nAbstract: Rapid development of nano-fabrication techniques in recent years enabled the possibility to create structures on the nanometer scale with dimensions comparable and even much smaller than light wavelength.These structures allow to control and manipulate light propagation and may find application for optical highly efficient communication systems. In this talk I will consider three kinds of photonic structures. First\, I will talk about topological photonic crystals for robust and scattering-freelight propagation. Second\, I will discuss dielectric silicon-based metasurfaces for efficient control on light propagation in transmission mode at telecommunication frequencies.Finally\, I will cover theoretical description of second harmonic light generation in optical metamaterials with vortex beams. \nBio: Mikhail Shalaev is Ph.D. student in the Electrical andComputer Science Department at Duke University. Hisresearch is focused on nanophotonics\, topological photonics\,metasurfaces\, metamaterials and nonlinear optics. \nFor more information about joining in on Zoom\, contact Leah Abraha at labraha@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Environmental Sciences Seminar: Jason Smith\, NY Restoration Project & Chester Zarnoch\, Baruch College
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nJason Smith\, MS\, MFA Director of Northern Manhattan Parks for the NY Restoration Project \nChester Zarnoch\, PhD Professor CUNY\, Dept. of Natural Science at Baruch College \nTitle: A Living Shoreline on the Harlem River: From Design Challenges to Ecosystem Services \nAbstract: The Sherman Creek Living Shoreline is an intervention intended to adapt a coastal park in Northern Manhattan to the impacts of climate change while improving the ecosystem function of the shoreline. In the Spring of 2020 an artificial oyster reef will be installed in the Harlem River to alter sediment dynamics and facilitate the establishment of intertidal wetlands. As a collaboration between a non-profit\, government agencies\, and CUNY researchers\, this project is an example of how to integrate collaborative research into the adaptation of urban public space. Ongoing research will assess the role of mussels in the success of wetland establishment\, and evaluate changes to carbon storage and sediment gas fluxes. This work will demonstrate the potential of living shorelines to provide critical ecosystem services in eutrophic waters such as the Harlem River. \nBios: \nJason Smith is the Director of Northern Manhattan Parks for the New York Restoration Project. In this capacity\, he manages the stewardship of parkland and implements projects that enhance the resilience of northern Manhattan communities. Jason’s interests include ecological land management and nexus of design and conservation in cities. Prior to working at NYRP\, Jason taught art and design at SUNY Buffalo and Canisius College. Jason received an MS from Brooklyn College in Earth and Environmental Science and an MFA in Visual Art from SUNY Buffalo. Jason’s experiences in construction\, landscaping\, art and education inform his approach to interdisciplinary urban research and practice. \nChester B. Zarnoch holds a Ph.D. in Biology and is a Professor of Environmental Studies and Biology at Baruch College\, City University of New York (CUNY) and is Graduate Faculty in the Biology Program at CUNY’s Graduate Center. He has been an active researcher in marine ecology and aquaculture since 2001 and has published papers on shellfish biology\, sediment nitrogen cycling\, and intensive aquaculture. His current research aims to describe the biological and physical processes that influence ecosystem services derived from restored habitats in eutrophic estuaries.

SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Lieyang (Eric) Chen\, Lehman College & Silas Hartley\, City College of New York
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lieyang (Eric) Chen\, Ph.D. student\, Thomas Kurtzman group\, Lehman College \nTitle: Advanced Computational Methodologies to Study Binding Free Eneregies of Protein-Ligand Complexes \nAbstract: Machine learning has recently been applied to computational drug discovery after achieving remarkable success in image/voice recognition. However\, the complexity of the protein-ligand binding interaction combined with issues inherent to current binding affinity databases make it a challenging task to develop reliable machine learning methods to predict ligand binding affinity. Here we will show how scientists are tricked by the machine-learning black box when developing such methods. \n  \nSpeaker: Silas Hartley\, Ph.D. Student\, David Jeruzalmi group\, City College of New York \nTitle: DNA Damage Recognition and UvrB Loading by UvrA within the Nucleotide Excision Repair Pathway \nAbstract: Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a DNA damage repair pathway vital for cell survival. As part of the NER pathway\, UvrA searches DNA until damages are found. Despite extensive research into the NER pathway\, it remains unclear how UvrA recognizes damaged DNA. Our research presented an image of the UvrA-DNA complex post-damage recognition; an important step in understanding the UvrA-DNA damage recognition mechanism. Additionally\, a UvrA-UvrB complex can search for damages. Our findings in the UvrA-UvrB damaged DNA search mechanism provide details into previous research that suggested the complex has an alternate DNA search mechanism then UvrA alone. \nFor more information about joining in on Zoom\, contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Environmental Sciences Seminar: David J. Nowak\, Ph.D.\, USDA Forest Service
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: David J. Nowak\, Ph.D. Senior Scientist / i-Tree Team Leader USDA Forest Service \nTitle: The Changing Urban Forest \nAbstract: Urban forests can help mitigate the causes and impacts of environmental degradation\, but are constantly changing due to various factors. To sustain healthy city environments\, cities need to understand the environmental services provided by trees and forces that threaten future forest health. This presentation will discuss how trees affect their local environment and climate\, how and why urban forests are changing\, and what cities could do to help sustain healthy urban forests and consequently healthy city environments for future generations. \nBio: David J. Nowak is a Senior Scientist and Team Leader with the USDA Forest Service in Syracuse\, NY. Dr. Nowak received a B.S. and M.S. from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry\, and a Ph.D. from the University of California\, Berkeley. His research investigates urban forest structure\, health\, and change\, and its effect on human health and environmental quality across the world. He has authored over 325 publications and leads teams developing the i-Tree software suite that quantifies the benefits and values from vegetation. \nFor more information about joining in on Zoom\, contact Doris Switzer at dswitzer@gc.cuny.edu
