SUMMARY:Marble Center Distinguished Seminar: Dr. Joe DeSimone
DESCRIPTION:Joseph M. DeSimone is the Sanjiv Sam Gambhir Professor of Translational Medicine and Chemical Engineering at Stanford University. He holds appointments in the Departments of Radiology and Chemical Engineering with a courtesy appointment in Stanford’s Graduate School of Business. \nThe DeSimone laboratory’s research efforts are focused on developing innovative\, interdisciplinary solutions to complex problems centered around advanced polymer 3D fabrication methods. In Chemical Engineering and Materials Science\, the lab is pursuing new capabilities in digital 3D printing\, as well as the synthesis of new polymers for use in advanced additive technologies. In Translational Medicine\, research is focused on exploiting 3D digital fabrication tools to engineer new vaccine platforms\, enhanced drug delivery approaches\, and improved medical devices for numerous conditions\, with a current major focus in pediatrics. Complementing these research areas\, the DeSimone group has a third focus in Entrepreneurship\, Digital Transformation\, and Manufacturing. \nBefore joining Stanford in 2020\, DeSimone was a professor of chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and of chemical engineering at North Carolina State University. He is also Co-founder\, Board Chair\, and former CEO (2014 – 2019) of the additive manufacturing company\, Carbon. DeSimone is responsible for numerous breakthroughs in his career in areas including green chemistry\, medical devices\, nanomedicine\, and 3D printing. He has published over 350 scientific articles and is a named inventor on over 200 issued patents. Additionally\, he has mentored 80 students through Ph.D. completion in his career\, half of whom are women and members of underrepresented groups in STEM. \nIn 2016 DeSimone was recognized by President Barack Obama with the National Medal of Technology and Innovation\, the highest U.S. honor for achievement and leadership in advancing technological progress. He has received numerous other major awards in his career\, including the U.S. Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award (1997); the American Chemical Society Award for Creative Invention (2005); the Lemelson-MIT Prize (2008); the NIH Director’s Pioneer Award (2009); the AAAS Mentor Award (2010); the Heinz Award for Technology\, the Economy and Employment (2017); the Wilhelm Exner Medal (2019); the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award (2019 U.S. Overall National Winner); and the Harvey Prize in Science and Technology (2020). He is one of only 25 individuals elected to all three branches of the U.S. National Academies (Sciences\, Medicine\, Engineering). DeSimone received his B.S. in Chemistry in 1986 from Ursinus College and his Ph.D. in Chemistry in 1990 from Virginia Tech.

SUMMARY:Dana-Farber Targeted Protein Degradation: A Chemical Biology Approach to DUBs​
DESCRIPTION:A Chemical Biology Approach to DUBs​​\n\nWebinar registration: https://dfci.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_m7JJaw52T8yZYt8-ykL6UQ \nHost: Vidyasagar Koduri \n​Sara Buhrlage\, PhD\, is an Assistant Professor in Dana-Farber’s Cancer Biology Department and Harvard Medical School’s Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology Department. Her research group focuses on the development of first-in-class inhibitors and prototype drugs for deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) that can be utilized to pharmacologically validate members of the gene family as new targets for cancer treatment and other diseases. DUBs have garnered significant attention recently as potential therapeutic targets in the field of oncology due to their removal of degradative ubiquitin marks from cancer causing proteins. \nPrior to joining as a faculty member in July 2015\, Dr. Buhrlage was a professional track scientist at Dana-Farber in the medicinal chemistry core laboratory. In this role she collaborated with Institute researchers to pharmacologically validate novel targets of disease and study mechanisms of oncogenesis and drug resistance. \nDr. Buhrlage completed a Doctor of Philosophy in organic chemistry in 2008\, under the direction of Professor Anna Mapp\, PhD\, from the University of Michigan\, where she successfully designed\, synthesized and characterized small molecules that bind the transcriptional co-activator CBP and upregulate transcription when tethered to DNA. Following completion of her Doctor of Philosophy\, Dr. Buhrlage trained for two years in medicinal chemistry at the Broad Institute.

SUMMARY:MIT Colloquium on the Brain and Cognition with Dr. Betty Hong\, Caltech
DESCRIPTION:The Hong lab investigates the molecular basis of synaptic specialization and its role in physiology\, behavior\, and disease.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOverview and approach\nSynapses are a fundamental unit of computation in the brain and vary widely in their structural and functional properties. Each synapse is a biochemically complex machine\, comprised of hundreds of different proteins that vary in both identity and quantity across synapses. The functional significance for most of these differences in molecular composition are poorly understood.  Our goal is to understand how molecular diversity at synapses gives rise to useful variation in synaptic physiology\, and how this may reflect the specialization of synapses to perform specific useful computations in their respective circuits.\n\nWe ask these questions in the context of odor-driven behaviors in the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster. We use the fly because we can make targeted\, in vivo whole-cell recordings from individual identified neurons corresponding to specific processing channels. This\, together with its compact size and sophisticated genetic toolkit\, makes the fly olfactory system a powerful experimental system for relating synaptic physiology to circuit function. Our approach is to use carefully designed odor stimuli in combination with genetic strategies to constrain olfactory behavior to depend on the activity at a small number of identified synapses. We use molecular genetics to selectively manipulate these synapses\, measure the functional outcomes using in vivo two-photon imaging and electrophysiological recordings\, and make direct comparisons of synaptic function with neural coding and behavior. We are interested in two broad categories of questions:\n\nSynaptic specialization\nHow do synapses that convey parallel streams of olfactory information vary in their functional properties\, and what is the molecular basis for these differences? How does this relate to the transformations they perform\, the stimuli that they prefer\, and the behavioral responses they engage? We approach this question using a combination of single-cell transcriptional profiling\, electrophysiology\, optogenetics\, and behavior. We are especially interested in comparing synapses in olfactory processing channels that differ dramatically along one or more axes\, such as their kinetics of chemosensory transduction\, the natural statistics of their ligands in the environment\, or the ethological significance of their preferred stimuli. In complementary studies\, we take a comparative approach to this question by comparing synapses in closely related Drosophila species. We ask how homologous olfactory channels (defined by conservation in anatomy and odorant receptor sequence) differ in the stimuli they process and the behaviors they  engage\, and how this relates to variations in gene expression.\n\nSynaptic basis of adaptive behaviors\nWe want to understand the molecular processes that regulate how synaptic properties are altered by context or experience to support adaptive behaviors. In particular\, we focus on understanding how the molecular composition of the synapse is reorganized to mediate cell type-specific and synapse-specific forms of neural plasticity. We take advantage of the highly compartmentalized organization of olfactory circuits\, and our ability to genetically isolate specific processing channels\, to selectively activate identified subsets of synapses and link these to specific flexible behaviors. We apply a combination of transcriptional profiling\, genetic manipulation\, and electrophysiology at these synapses to probe the molecular mechanisms underlying synapse-specific plasticity.
