TITLE: "Inference of the demographic histories and selective effects of human gut commensal microbiota over the course of human history" ABSTRACT: Despite the importance of gut commensal microbiota to human health, there is little knowledge about their evolutionary histories, including their demographic histories and distributions of fitness effects (DFE) of mutations. Here, we infer the […]
TITLE: "Discovering biomarkers for predicting response to neo-adjuvant ADT and radionuclide treatment in high-risk prostate cancer" ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer is the number one cause of cancer death in non-smoking American men. Next generation treatments for prostate cancer include androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) drugs such as Enzalutamide and radionuclide treatments like Lu-PSMA-617. While both of these […]

TITLE: Sensing and applying multi-axial tension to biomolecules using molecular devices built from DNA. ABSTRACT: DNA nanotechnology enables the construction of molecular devices for diverse biomedical applications. By leveraging DNA's exquisite positional control, researchers can engineer sophisticated nanostructures that execute a range of tasks. In this talk, I will present 2 DNA-based devices: an amphiphilic […]
TITLE: TBD Hosted by William Hsu for Medical Informatics
MATLAB is a powerful, high-level programing language for numerical computation, visualization, and application development. This workshop will start by introducing the MATLAB environment and then cover working with arrays and matrices, loops and conditional statements, writing your own functions, working with files and visualizing your data. The final day will briefly introduce utilizing MATLAB to […]
