SUMMARY:The Mark W. Zemansky Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Mark W. Zemansky Lecture April 3\, 2023\, 4:00 to 5:00 PM.\nSpeaker: Clifford V Johnson\nAffiliation: Department of Physics and Astronomy\, University of Southern California \nVenue: ASRC Auditorium\, 85 St. Nicholas Terrace New York\, NY 10031 \nTitle: “Wigner Meets ’t Hooft Near the Black Hole Horizon” \nAbstract: There has been exciting recent progress in the study of the quantum nature of black holes through the use of certain exactly solvable models. This work shows how to realize\, in concrete terms\, various long-held expectations about quantum gravity\, such as the transition from describing physics in terms of smooth spacetimes to a description in terms of the underlying quantum microstates. Random matrix models are central to the discussion and provide fascinating connections to several other fields in statistical physics\, chaotic dynamics\, and mathematics. It is explained why it is crucial to use both t’Hooftian and Wignerian perspectives to uncover all the physics. Possible lessons for the program of quantum gravity in more general settings are discussed. \nLecture Background: \nMark W. Zemansky\, (1900-1981) Professor of Physics\, The City College of New York: Mark Waldo Zemansky (May 5\, 1900 – December 29\, 1981) was an American physicist for decades was a Professor of Physics at the City College of New York. He is best known for co-authoring University\nPhysics\, a highly regarded introductory physics textbook\, with Francis Sears (thus\, this book is often called “Sears and Zemansky”). Mark Zemansky graduated from City College of New York in 1921 and went on to receive his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1927. In 1925\, he joined the faculty of City College of New York. Dr. Zemansky taught for over four decades at the City College of New York until 1967\, retiring as Professor Emeritus of Physics. As chairman of the Physics Department from 1956 to 1959\, he brought it into the modern era. From 1963 to 1966 he was the first executive officer of the City University’s new doctoral program in  Physics. In 1956 he was awarded the Oersted Medal by the American Association of Physics Teachers. \nBiography thanks to Wikipedia. Support has been provided by the City College Fund\, Michael Lubell\, Zemansky Professor of Physics. \nZemansky_flier

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
