SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Special Seminar by Varda Shoshan-Barmatz\, Ben-Gurion University in Israel
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special research seminar presented by Dr. Varda Shoshan-Barmatz titled\, “Mitochondrial gatekeeper VDAC1 overexpression and oligomerization lies at the intersection of programmed cell death\, inflammation and disease.” \nWednesday\, April 3 via Zoom \n9 AM Pacific\, 12 noon Eastern\, 5 PM UK\, 7 PM Israel time \nIntroduced and Moderated by Amédée des Georges of New York University\, formerly at City College and ASRC\, CUNY’s Advanced Science Research Center. \n* Dr. Varda Shoshan-Barmatz will be giving this talk online via Zoom. Please contact Amédée des Georges at ajd9478@nyu.edu for any questions. \nAccess Zoom info by registering here. \nOr at https://tinyurl.com/Varda-S-B \n  \nAbstract Mitochondria are the signaling hub for regulating metabolism\, apoptosis\, cell cycle\, proliferation\, differentiation\, epigenetics\, immune signaling\, and aging processes. The voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) serves as a mitochondrial gatekeeper\, a channel that controls the flux of ions\, including Ca2+\, nucleotides\, and metabolites across the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM)\, and also as a key protein in mitochondria-mediated apoptosis. Thus\, VDAC1 stands at the crossroads between mitochondrial energy production and metabolism\, Ca2+ homeostasis\, apoptosis\, and other cell stress-associated processes. The location at the interface between the cytosol and mitochondria\, positions VDAC1 to serve as a hub protein\, and the interactions with over 100 proteins allow the molecule to mediate and regulate the integration of mitochondrial functions with cellular activities. Apoptotic signals cause mitochondrial membrane permeability changes\, which allow the release of apoptogenic proteins. However\, it remains unclear how these apoptotic initiators cross the OMM and are subsequently released into the cytosol to activate apoptosis. \nRecently\, we demonstrated that induction of apoptosis leads to VDAC1 overexpression and oligomerization regardless of the cell type\, apoptosis inducer used\, that all affect the mitochondria\, yet acting via different mechanisms. Accordingly\, we proposed a new concept for apoptosis induction by which apoptosis inducers\, stress\, or diseases state\, induce VDAC1 overexpression\, and thereby shift the equilibrium between monomeric and oligomeric states. This promotes the formation of a large channel within the VDAC1 homo-oligomer\, which then acts as a conduit for pro-apoptotic protein release and subsequent apoptosis. Oligomeric VDAC1 is also at the nexus of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release and is implicated in impairing the innate immune system because the mtDNA fragments released into the cytosol trigger type-Ι interferon signaling and inflammation. Moreover\, we have demonstrated that overexpression of VDAC1 is a common threat in diabetes\, and in neurodegenerative\, cardiac\, and autoimmune diseases. In addition\, others have demonstrated associations between VDAC1 overexpression and oligomerization\, and acute liver injury\, rheumatoid arthritis\, spinal cord injury\, and COVID-19. Thus\, inhibiting VDAC1 overexpression and/or oligomerization represents an effective strategy to treat these diseases. With the perception of VDAC1 as an innovative target for the control of dysregulated cell metabolism\, inflammation\, and programed cell death associated with various diseases\, we have developed the new VDAC1-interacting molecules\, VBIT-4 and VBIT-12. These molecules prevent VDAC1 oligomerization\, cell death\, mitochondrial dysfunction\, and inflammation and abolish the mpathophysiology of various diseases as demonstrated in mouse models for type-2-diabetes\, lupus\, colitis\, Alzheimer’s disease\, acute liver injury\, spinal cord minjury\, and COVID-19. Our findings implicate VDAC1 as the link between mitochondrial dysfunction and a wide range of diseases\, and place it at the crossroads between metabolism\, cell survival\, cell death\, and inflammation. \nSpeaker info: \nDr. Varda Shoshan-Barmatz is Professor of Molecular Physiology at Ben-Gurion University in Israel and received her Ph.D. from the Weizmann Institute of Science and did post-doctoral studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and at the University of Toronto. She established the National Institute for Biotechnology in Israel and served as its director from 2006-2015. \n  \nThis seminar has been organized by Manfred Philipp. Sponsored by CUNY’s Advanced Science Research Center\, the CUNY Academy for the Humanities and Sciences\, the CUNY Graduate Center’s Biochemistry Doctoral Program\, the CUNY Graduate Center’s Interdisciplinary Concentration in Cognitive Science\, the STEM Section of the Academic Engagement Network\, and Americans for Ben-Gurion University. \nDownload the flyer for this seminar here: \n20240403_speaker flyer

SUMMARY:Photonics Initiative Spring 2024 Seminar Series: Prof. Zhi Ning Chen
DESCRIPTION:Zhi Ning Chen\nNational University of Singapore \nDate:\nFriday\, June 14\, 2024 \nTime:\n10:30am – 11:30am \nLocation:\n5th Fl. Data Viz Room \n\n\nPrior-knowledge Guided Machine-learning Enabled Metalens Antenna Design\nAbstract –  The design of antennas aims to meet the specific requirements of a system. This design relies on materials\, fabrication processes\, and design methodologies. Besides natural materials\, we have introduced metamaterials—artificially engineered structures that exhibit unique electromagnetic properties not found in nature—to expand the boundaries of antenna design. Furthermore\, we have explored new design methodologies to extend these boundaries. \nTraditionally\, antenna design begins with basic designs\, which are then modified or optimized to meet the specifications. However\, this approach has limitations in achieving optimal performance due to constrained degrees of freedom (DoF). These limitations arise from physical constraints such as volume restrictions and feeding structures\, as well as restricted design space regarding the selection of viable structures or parameters in the design process. Therefore\, deep learning algorithms are being utilized to significantly increase the degrees of freedom (DoF) in antenna design. This will expand the antenna design space and hold promise for enhancing antenna performance. \nThis talk will focus on outlining innovative approaches to antenna design. Specifically\, it will explore the prior-knowledge-guided deep learning-enabled synthesis method and demonstrate its utility in enhancing the performance of metacells and metalens antennas. \nBio – Professor Zhi Ning Chen got his two PhD degrees in China in 1993 and in Japan in 2003\, respectively. Currently\, Dr Chen is working as a Provost Chair Professor of Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, National University of Singapore. He is serving as Director of Advanced Research and Technology Innovation Center (ARTIC) of College of Design and Engineering\, National University of Singapore. He elevated Fellow of the Academy of Engineering\, Singapore in 2019\, Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (Fellow of IEEE) in 2007\, Fellow and Vice President of Asia and Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association in 2021\, and Fellow of Chinese Institute of Communications 2023. He is the recipient of IEEE AP-S John Kraus Antenna Award (2021). He has published 710 papers\, 7 books\, and 34 patents. He has been the founding general chairs of IEEE International Workshop of Antenna Technology (iWAT in 2005)\, IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Antennas and Propagation (APCAP in 2012)\, Marina-Forum (Mar-For in 2021) and two important technical conferences. \nThis is an in-person seminar.

SUMMARY:Guest Speaker: Dr. King Hang Aaron Lau\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Peptoid Self-Assembly: from Minimal Peptoids to Cell Membrane Interactions\n  \nKing Hang Aaron Lau\, PhD\nAssociate Professor (Senior Lecturer) in Materials and Bionanotechnology\nDepartment of Pure and Applied Chemistry\, University of Strathclyde\, Glasgow\, UK \n  \nAbstract- N-substituted glycine “peptoids” are close structural isomers of peptides and can be synthesized with both natural and non-natural sidechains. Their self-assembly is of great interest not only because they represent a “control set” to probe the fundamental requirements of peptide assembly but also because\, firstly\, they expand the range of assembled structures possible\, and secondly\, they can exhibit simplified sequence design rules due to the elimination of intra-backbone hydrogen bonding. This presentation will introduce our work in recent years to investigate the behavior and biofunctionality of peptoid assemblies based on a range of sequence lengths and chain-end modifications. In terms of “minimal” peptoids\, we recently discovered that certain single C-amidated monomers may form novel 2D crystalline layers at the water-air or water-oil interface that we term interfacial crystals. We were also the first to report the ability of water-soluble peptoid trimers to assemble into pH stable\, sequence-dependent morphologies\, including uniform nanofibers. The unique π-interactions originally observed in fluorescence spectroscopy are now supported by atomistic computation studies. For longer sequences\, by introducing a backbone bending linker in lipo-peptoid amphiphiles and by balancing the peptoid and hydrophobic tail lengths\, we have been able to modify the cytotoxicity of antibacterial sequences. Finally\, with free-floating peptoid nanosheets assembled from long amphiphilic alternating sequences\, we recently are also observing the potential to direct stem cell osteogenesis based simply on physical contact interactions. Based on these synthetic peptoid assemblies\, we hope to demonstrate the expanded possibilities in bioinspired materials enabled by non-canonical sequence-specific polymers and considerations of biophysical effects more generally. \n  \nBIO– Aaron is associate professor in materials chemistry at the University of Strathclyde. He obtained his ScB and ScM at Brown\, PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research\, and postdoctoral training at Northwestern. He then started his lab at Strathclyde as a founding member of its Bionanotechnology initiative. Aaron’s experimental research seek to deepen our biophysical chemistry understanding of macromolecules at surfaces and interfaces\, including self-assembly and membrane interactions. This fundamental knowledge is applied to the development of novel bio-\, nano-\, and sustainable bioinspired materials. The main molecular platforms are “peptoids”\, a highly convenient and designable peptide-mimetic synthetic platform\, and tannic acid\, a versatile and multifunctional molecular “integrator”. Current projects include peptoid self-assembly\, antimicrobial peptoids\, acoustically functional structures\, and polyphenol water remediation sorbents. \n

DESCRIPTION:Charge-Mediated Interactions Affect Enzymatic Reactions in Peptide Condensates\nAyala Lampel\, PhD\nShmunis School of Biomedicine and Cancer Research\, George S.

Inspired by these natural systems\, synthetic condensates are increasingly being developed for diverse applications\, including payload delivery\, sensing\, and as microreactors where enzymatic reaction kinetics can be modulated by factors such as pH\, viscosity\, and enzyme-substrate co-localization. We investigated how the physicochemical properties of enzymes and substrates influence condensate formation and their function as microreactors. For this\, we employed a minimalistic complex coacervation system of oppositely charged LLPS-promoting peptides\, and focused on two simple enzymatic model systems\, cellulase and alkaline phosphatase\, which differ in molecular weight and isoelectric point. Our findings demonstrate how electrostatic forces within condensates influence their role as microreactors. Specifically\, the ability of condensates to encapsulate or exclude phosphatase\, cellulase\, and their substrates—which is pivotal for the regulation of reaction kinetics—is determined by enzyme surface charge\, substrate charge\, and condensate charge stoichiometry. These results highlight the potential of utilizing electrostatic forces within condensates to modulate enzymatic reactions\, providing critical insights for the development of synthetic condensates as microreactors in biotechnology and materials science. \nBIO– Ayala Lampel is an assistant professor (senior lecturer) at Tel Aviv University.
