Distinguished Lecture Series - Mina Bissell

EBICS Distinguished Lecture Series ft. Dr. Michael Elowitz

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is proud to host Dr. Michael Elowitz as our Distinguished Lecturer for the spring of 2018.

Lecture Subject:
Circuits of interacting proteins can perform a variety of “computational” functions in living cells. They allow cells to encode and decode signals, and respond to complex stimuli. What kinds of design principles allow natural protein circuits to function effectively? How can we design effective synthetic protein circuits? This talk will explore paradigms of natural and synthetic protein circuit design in mammalian cells.

Distinguished Lecture Series with Dr. Jim Wells

The next installment of the EBICS Distinguished Lecture Series will be delivered by Dr. Jim Wells at Georgia Tech on May 2nd at 12pm EST. Dr. Wells' research focuses on the pancreas and gastrointestinal organs and the use of 3-D organoids to create models of diabetes and digestive diseases.
