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
