SUMMARY:QCBio Faculty Research Forum
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a series of talks featuring QCBio faculty as they share ideas that excite them \nMehdi Bouhaddou\nAssistant Professor\, Microbiology\, Immunology & Molecular Genetics\nThe Bouhaddou Lab dissects the biochemical regulatory circuits that control fate decisions using latest proteomic-mass spec technologies and quantitative analysis. They are specifically interested in understanding virus host interactions. While it is well appreciated that viruses hijack the cell’s core machineries for their replication\, we have found that they also exquisitely sense cellular signaling activities to inform their own decision-making.  \nAaron Meyer\nAssociate Professor\, Bioengineering\nThe Meyer lab integrates experimental and computational strategies to measure\, model\, and therapeutically manipulate cell-to-cell communication\, with applications in the development of immune and cancer therapies. They currently focus this integrated approach on the immune system\, specifically on the mechanisms of selective cytokine and antibody Fc signaling. They also develop tensor-based data modeling approaches that have found wide applicability in the analysis of high dimensional clinical datasets. \nVan Savage\nProfessor\, Departments of Computational Medicine\, and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology\nBiological systems display extraordinary diversity in form and function. By understanding this diversity\, we can discover mechanisms that provide critical new insights into biomedical problems. My overall research goal is to combine novel mathematical models with newly collected or analyzed empirical data to understand how biological systems are organized\, constrained\, and controlled across multiple levels of organization. 			 \nGrace Xiao\nProfessor\, Integrative Biology and Physiology\nThe Xiao lab combines the latest computational and experimental methods in RNA biology to elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying disease. The overarching goals of our research are to understand how the transcriptome and epitranscriptome are controlled by the intricate network of genetic factors\, RNA elements\, and RNA-binding proteins\, and how such regulation contributes to neurological diseases and cancer. \nJason Zhang\nAssistant Professor\, Bioengineering\nThe newly established Zhang lab focuses on AI-driven molecular engineering to study cellular signaling. One focus is the development of biosensors that reveal cellular activities in real time in living cells and tissues. His research leverages the latest AI structure prediction tools combined with principles from biophysics and cell biology.
