SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Charalampos Babis Kalodimos\, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Charalampos Babis Kalodimos\, Faculty Chair in the Department of Structural Biology\, Joseph Simone Endowed Chair in Basic Research\, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital\, Memphis\, TN will present a one-hour talk titled: “The conformational landscape of protein kinases in physiology and disease.” \nAbstract   Protein kinases regulate almost every aspect of cellular function. Changes in the expression\, localization in the cell\, mutations or chromosomal rearrangements of kinases can cause a number of cancers and other diseases. Cancer ‘driver’ mutations occur very frequently in kinase genes. In fact\, the kinase domain is the domain most frequently encoded by cancer genes. Tremendous progress has been made in understanding the structure\, function\, and mechanisms of regulation of protein kinases. However\, it has proved challenging to monitor these transitions and structurally characterize the manifold of conformational states inherently populated by a kinase. In the absence of such information\, the mechanisms underpinning the response of kinases to physiological and pathological processes remain poorly understood. I will discuss how we structurally and energetically dissect the mechanisms underpinning the function and operation of a number of important protein kinases. We elucidate regulatory and drug-resistance mechanisms as well as how key structural elements and motifs control the activation/inhibition processes in kinases. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the cafe. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the info below: \nMeeting ID:  968 3104 2138Passcode:  ASRC-CDI \n Download Charalampos Babis Kalodimos Seminar Flyer  (278KB .PDF file) \nDownload the updated Spring 2023 Seminar Schedule (125 KB .PDF file) \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Special Seminar: Fernando Luίs Barroso da Silva\, University of São Paulo
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the ASRC 5th Fl Data Visualization Room for a special one-hour seminar titled: “Developing and Applying Fast constant-pH Simulation Methods in Biological Systems: From biomaterials to virus.” \nSpeaker: Fernando Luίs Barroso da Silva\nAssociate Professor\, Department of Biomolecular Sciences\nSchool of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Ribeirão Preto – University of São Paulo\nSao Paolo\, Brazil \nAbstract: A vast class of biomolecular engineering problems at the present including the understanding\, diagnosis\, and treatment of diseases; developments in the pharmaceutical and food industries; design of new (bio)functionalized materials and processes of bioseparation\, in general\, relies on a better knowledge of the fundamental physical interactions responsible for the formation and stability of molecular complexes. pH is a key physical-chemical parameter for many of them that is also related to the macromolecular complexation even “on the wrong side of the pI”. At our lab\, our focus has been on the development of coarse-grained descriptions that could result in a good compromise between the proper modeling of the constant-pH physics and reduced simulation time. In this talk\, I will review the main aspects of the peculiar attraction behind like-charge macromolecules\, the constant-pH simulation models devised for different biomolecular applications\, and how we have been using these tools together with other simulation and structural bioinformatic methods to better understand spidroins\, viruses (flaviviruses and coronaviruses) and designing therapeutic agents. \nDownload Fernando Barroso Seminar Flyer  (202KB .PDF file) \nSnacks and refreshments to start at 12:30pm in the 5th fl data viz room. This event will be in-person only. \nFor more information about this event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Catherine L. Drennan\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Catherine L. Drennan\, professor in the Departments of Biology and Chemistry at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute\, MIT\, Cambridge\, MA\, will present a one-hour talk titled: \nCapturing Snapshots of Metalloenzymes in Action \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract    The use of radical-based chemistry allows for amazing transformations in living organisms. To carry out their functions\, radical enzymes like ribonucleotide reductase often need to be flexible and assume different conformational states\, with units of the protein swinging back and forth to enable reactants to bind the protein or products to leave while protecting radical-based intermediates during the chemical steps in the reaction. In this presentation\, Drennan will present her lab’s structural studies of ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs). RNRs employ metallocofactors to generate radical species to afford the conversion of ribonucleotides (the building blocks of RNA) to deoxyribonucleotides (the building blocks of DNA). These enzymes are chemotherapeutic targets and proposed antibacterial targets. Here\, she will describe how the “resolution revolution” of cryo-electron microscopy allowed for the capture of an active state structure of ribonucleotide reductase for the first time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Catherine L.

SUMMARY:Environmental Science Initiative Seminar: Shannon LaDeau\, PhD\, Cary Institute of Ecosystems Studies
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Shannon LaDeau\, PhD\, Disease Ecologist\, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies\, will present a one- hour talk titled: \n Racial Legacies\, Mosquito Ecology\, and Human Exposure Risk in a Temperate City \nAbstract: Vector-borne disease (VBD) is a growing risk to urban communities across the globe. Rising cases of mosquito-borne viruses such as dengue\, Zika and chikungunya in temperate cities highlight critical gaps in understanding of how interacting ecological and socio-economic conditions influence VBD risk in complex\, seasonal landscapes. Our multidisciplinary research team explores important trends and mechanisms explaining changing mosquito-human exposure in Baltimore City\, MD (USA). Our results show how legacies of race-based investment continue to influence variability in mosquito abundances and human exposure\, and that interacting poverty and climate forces can affect mosquito traits that are important to fitness and viral transmission. Finally\, we explore how changing climate and urban greening efforts continuously refine the heterogeneous riskscape of VBD in temperate cities and consider relevant scales of predictability and management potential. \nBio: Shannon LaDeau is a community and disease ecologist at Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook\, NY. Her research program integrates empirical and model-based studies to better understand how species interactions\, abiotic filters\, and environmental stochasticity influence community function in real (often urban) landscapes. Her current work emphasizes data-model integration approaches for forecasting tick and mosquito vector abundances\, traits\, and associated human risk in the context of global change. LaDeau received her PhD at Duke University and completed an NSF Bioinformatics Postdoctoral Fellowship with Smithsonian Institution and the Ohio State University before joining the Cary Institute in 2008. \nThis seminar series will take place in the 1st Fl Seminar Room with the option to join via Zoom. \nPlease follow lobby signage directing you to the 1st Fl corridor windows where you will then walk right until reaching the 1st Fl Seminar Room. \nMeeting ID: 892 7906 4948 Passcode: 516742\nDial by your location: +1 646 558 8656 US (New York) \nFurther questions can be emailed to: \nDoris Switzer \nEnvironmental Science Initiative Coordinator \nswitzer@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC Environmental Science Initiative Seminar: Beizhan Yan\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:In this one- hour seminar Beizhan Yan\, PhD\, Lamont Associate Research Professor at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University will present a one-hour talk titled: “Microplastic Distribution and Associated Pathogens and Pollutants in NYC Waterways.” \nAbstract: Varying levels of microplastics were observed in NYC waters\, with the highest concentration observed in Newtown Creek and the lowest in the Hudson upstream of New York Harbor. Additionally\, in-situ adsorption experiments conducted in Newtown Creek and Brooklyn Navy Yard demonstrated the potential of microplastics to transport pollutants and pathogens including tuberculosis. Notably\, flame retardant compounds such as PCBs\, PBDEs\, and TBBPA were found on plastic pellet surfaces\, with significantly higher adsorption on HDPE compared to PVC. Gene analyses revealed significant differences in microbial community between water and plastic samples. Using a modeling approach\, we estimated that the\nresidence time of microplastics in the Harbor-estuary region is approximately two weeks\, with a predominant transport pathway down the New Jersey coast\, eventually entering the Atlantic Ocean. \nBio: Dr. Beizhan Yan received his Ph.D. in 2004 from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)\, Troy\, NY and currently\, he is a Lamont Associate Research Professor at Lamont- Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University. In 2007\, he joined LDEO\, and since then\, he has established an Environmental Organic Geochemistry Lab from scratch with the ability to extract\, isolate\, and identify organic contaminants and biomarkers from environmental and biological samples. He is leading collaborative studies in measuring the microplastic and nanoplastics in NYC waterways and air and characterizing their exposures\, and linking exposures to various adverse health outcomes\, including neurodegeneration diseases. \nThis seminar will take place in person\, with lunch provided at 1pm.

SUMMARY:Spring 2023 Photonics Initiative Seminar: Rohit Chikkaraddy\, University of Birmingham
DESCRIPTION:In this one-hour seminar\, Rohit Chikkaraddy\, University of Birmingham\, will be presenting a talk titled: “Single-molecule mid-infrared vibrational spectroscopy and detection in plasmonic nanogaps.” \nAbstract – The detection of molecular vibrations in the mid-infrared (MIR) range (λ=3-30μm) at room temperature has a wide range of applications including gas sensing\, medical imaging\, astronomical survey\, and quantum communication. However\, current technologies rely on energy-intensive low-temperature semiconductor detectors such as mercury cadmium telluride\, which are limited by thermal noise. In this talk\, I will present our recent developments in overcoming this challenge using plasmonic nanogaps\, by upconverting low-energy MIR light into high-energy visible light (λ=500-800nm)\, which can be detected using silicon technology capable of single-photon detection [1-3]. This involves strongly coupling surface plasmons between two metallic nanostructures spaced a few nanometers apart\, confining light to extreme dimensions and enabling coherent coupling of light to electronic and vibrational states of molecules assembled in the nanogaps. The measured coupling strengths approach strong light-molecule coupling at room temperature [4\,5]\, enabling Purcell-enhanced light emission [6] and optomechanics with bond vibrations [7]. Recent advancements in surfaceenhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and enhanced light emission have unlocked new possibilities for detecting molecular vibrations in the mid-infrared range at room temperature. Here\, I will present three different methods to achieve this (Fig.1). The first method involves using nanoparticle-on-foil nanocavities that can support both visible and MIR plasmonic hotspots\, allowing modulation of molecular SERS signals in the presence of MIR photons due to the MIR absorption in the phonon resonance of the substrates [2\,8]. The second method involves the suppression of phonon absorption\, and 140% amplification of the SERS antiStokes emission when an MIR pump is tuned to a molecular vibrational frequency [3\,10]. The third method involves assembling molecular emitters into nanoscale cavities and continuously pumping them with optical energy\, resulting in the transduction of MIR light absorbed by the molecular vibrations into visible luminescence [1\,9]. These demonstrations hold immense potential not just for molecular spectroscopy and sensing but also for quantum preparation of vibrational states for mode-selective chemistry and nano-optics\, leading to a wide range of possibilities. \nReferences\n[1] Chikkaraddy\, Rohit\, et al. arXiv:2205.07792 (2022).

SUMMARY:Spring 2023 Photonics Initiative Seminar: Yandong Li\, Cornell University
DESCRIPTION:In this one-hour seminar\, Yandong Li\, Cornell University\, will be presenting a talk titled: “Topological Directional Coupler Based on a Designer Domain Wall.” \nAbstract – Nobel laureate H. Kroemer’s famous quote in 2000\, “The interface is the device”\, summarized the historic success of semiconductors. For the following two decades\, the dictionary of new materials has been greatly enriched. With topological insulators\, artificial metamaterials\, moiré superlattices\, etc.\, we expect versatile\, robust\, and compact photonic and electronic components to emerge. \nIn this talk\, I will present a topological directional coupler that couples edge modes in a tunable way while maintaining their unidirectionality. The first part will focus on the design\, the theoretical analysis\, and\, particularly\, the idea of interfering and programming topological modes by intentionally breaking or relaxing the corresponding symmetry. Then\, I will present the experimental results of a classical Rabi oscillation performed by this topological directional coupler. I will conclude with the future prospects of this design and its potential applications in building large-scale efficient\, robust\, and compact optical computing machinery. \nBio – Yandong Li is a PhD candidate under the supervision of Prof. Gennady Shvets in the School of Applied and Engineering at Cornell University. He received his BSc in Engineering Physics from Case Western Reserve University in 2016. His research interest spans topological photonics\, metamaterials\, and optical computing. \nThis seminar will be presented in the 5th fl Data Viz Room\, with the option to join online via Zoom. \nTo join via Zoom: \nID 858 5234 0862 \nPasscode 723514 \nFor further information\, please contact: \nLeah Abraha \nlabraha@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Spring 2023 Photonics Initiative Seminar: Alexander Senichev\, Purdue University
DESCRIPTION:In this one-hour seminar\, Alexander Senichev\, Purdue University\, will be presenting a talk titled: “Quantum Photonics with Intrinsic Single-Photon Emitters in Silicon Nitride.” \nAbstract – Photonic-based quantum platforms are highly promising for both fundamental studies and practical applications in quantum information science due to photon’s ultimate speed\, weak interactions with matter and robustness to decoherence. Discovering and exploring on-chip photonic elements that can efficiently generate\, manipulate\, and detect quantum states of light\, and integrate these components in a low-loss and scalable platform\, is an urgent need. Silicon nitride (SiN) is one of the most promising and established material platforms for integrated quantum photonics. However\, until recently\, SiN lacked an intrinsic atomic-like source of single photons\, which required the use of probabilistic nonlinear sources or hybrid heterogeneous integration with other materials hosting quantum emitters. In our research\, we discovered intrinsic color centers in low-autofluorescence SiN and developed techniques for their creation [1]. These emitters exhibit high single-photon purity and brightness at room temperature. Furthermore\, they can be monolithically integrated with the technologically favorable silicon nitride photonics platforms [2]\, which holds great potential for various applications in the quantum domain. In my talk\, I will delve into our research effort to engineer these novel quantum emitters in SiN\, integrate them with on-chip photonic structures\, and explore their photophysical properties [3] and potential avenues for their improvement and applications.\nReferences\n[1] Senichev et al.\, Sci.

SUMMARY:Spring 2023 Photonics Initiative Seminar: Dragomir Neshev\, Australian National University
DESCRIPTION:In this one-hour seminar\, Dragomir Neshev\, Australian National University\, will be presenting a talk titled\, “Nonlinear and quantum light sources from ultra-thin nanostructured surfaces.” \nAbstract – Nonlinear optical phenomena are central to a myriad of applications in light sources and microscopy. Nonlinear optical effects\, such as harmonic generation\, frequency mixing and spontaneous parametric down conversion are fundamentally enhanced in materials with a high refractive index\, as well as by the presence of resonant photonic environment. These conditions are automatically fulfilled in resonant dielectric metasurfaces\, which has triggered large interest in nonlinearity enhancement at the nanoscale. Despite their small volume\, the dielectric metasurfaces can enhance the nonlinear frequency conversion to a level similar to millimetre-scale nonlinear crystals. Importantly\, the nanostructuring enables properties not possible in bulk crystals\, including engineering of the directionality of emission and polarisation of the emitted light. In this talk\, I will review our group’s recent advances in the field of nonlinear metasurfaces for enhancement of nonlinear frequency conversion\, generation of entangled photons and nonlinear upconversion imaging. \nBio – Dragomir Neshev is the Director of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) and a Professor of Physics at the Australian National University (ANU). He received a PhD from Sofia University\, Bulgaria\, in 1999. Since then\, he has worked at several research centres worldwide before joining the ANU in 2002. He has been recognized for his outstanding work with numerous honours\, including being named a Highly Cited Researcher (Web of Science\, 2022 & 2021)\, receiving a Queen Elizabeth II Fellowship (ARC\, 2010)\, and being awarded a Marie-Curie Individual Fellowship (European Commission\, 2001). His activities span several branches of optics\, including meta-optics\, metasurfaces\, periodic photonic structures\, and singular optics. \nThis is an in-person seminar.

SUMMARY:CUNY Student SciComs Symposium: Communicating Your Science
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, June 9 at 10 a.m. for the third annual “Communicating Your Science Symposium.” The symposium\, created by the CUNY Graduate Center’s Ph.D. student-led organization\, CUNYSciCom\, aims to use peer-to-peer training and engagement to challenge and reshape the way scientists discuss scientific research with each other and the general public. The symposium challenges student scientists to present and explain their research to two different audiences — their peers and the general public — in short presentations. Each presentation must include contextual descriptions of their work\, visual aids\, and will conclude with a Q&A session with the audience. \nA panel of judges (a science professor\, a journalism professor\, a dissertation showcase participant\, and undergraduate students) will give feedback to all participants\, and cash prizes of up to $500 will be awarded! \nTo attend\, RSVP at https://bit.ly/3W06RLt \nThis event is sponsored by Matter\, a Cell Press Journal\, and the Doctoral and Graduate Student Council at GC CUNY.

SUMMARY:ASRC Structural Biology Initiative Special Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Juliette Fedry\nStructural Biochemistry\nBijvoet Center for Biomolecular Research\nUtrecht University\, Utrecht\, The Netherlands \nMolecular visualization of cellular processes in mammalian cells\nNew insights into mRNA translation and the dynamics of the Nuclear Envelope under stress\nAbstract    To understand cellular processes\, it is important to visualize the proteins catalyzing the corresponding biochemical reactions. Over the last decades\, X-ray crystallography has allowed the very detailed visualization of purified proteins\, importantly contributing to our understanding of their functions and mechanisms of action. Recent method developments in the field of cryo electron tomography (cryoET) now open the door to structural studies of macromolecular complexes in a more biologically relevant context\, such as vesicles for membrane complexes or ultimately directly within the cell. \nIn my recent work\, I visualized the mRNA translation process in situ\, in intact mammalian cells and analyzed its reorganization under persistent collision stress. My results highlight the presence of a Z-site bound tRNA on 80S complexes\, increased under stress and stabilized on collided disomes\, as well as the accumulation of an off-pathway 80S complex likely resulting from collision splitting events. We further observe the apparition of tRNAbound aberrant 40S complexes shifting with the stress timepoint\, suggesting a succession of different initiation inhibition mechanisms over time. \nTo visualize the translocation of secretory protein nascent chains into the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) on native membranes\, we used cryoET on vesicles derived from the rough ER of mammalian cell lines. We characterized the distinct populations of translocon complexes assembled in the ER membrane and revealed their clustering according to polysomes translating different types of nascent chains. We obtained a subtomogram average of the most abundant translocon variant at subnanometer resolution and built the corresponding atomic model\, revealing new interactions between its main components. \nFinally\, I investigated the dynamics of the nuclear envelope under ER stress and recovery. I visualized this process in mammalian cells\, shedding light on how autophagy processes proceed to the specific degradation of outer nuclear membrane portions.\n\n\n\n  \nSEMINAR LOCATION:\nNew York Structural Biology Center\, 89 Convent Ave\, New York\nSeminar Room A-11\n<>\nTHIS SEMINAR MAY ALSO BE VIEWED REMOTELY VIA ZOOM:\nMeeting ID:  870 5022 4531\nPasscode:  165802\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Juliette Fedry Seminar Flyer  (334KB .PDF file)
