SUMMARY:Bioengineering Seminar- Jamie Spangler\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jamie Spangler\, Ph.D.\nAffiliation: Department of Biomedical Engineering and Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering \n\nReshaping the immune landscape through molecular engineering \nThe repertoire of naturally occurring proteins is finite and many molecules induce multiple confounding effects\, limiting their efficacy as therapeutics. Recently\, there has been a growing interest in redesigning existing proteins or engineering entirely new proteins to address the deficiencies of molecules found in nature. Researchers have traditionally taken an unbiased approach to protein engineering\, but as our knowledge of protein structure-function relationships advances\, we have the exciting opportunity to apply molecular principles to guide engineering. Leveraging cutting-edge tools and technologies in structural biology and molecular design\, our lab is pioneering a unique structure-based engineering approach to elucidate the mechanistic determinants of protein activity\, in order to inform therapeutic development. Our group is particularly interested in engineering immune proteins\, such as cytokines\, growth factors\, and antibodies\, to bias the immune response for targeted disease treatment. Despite the recent explosive growth of protein drugs within the pharmaceutical market\, limitations such as delivery\, acquired resistance\, and toxicity have impeded realization of the full potential of these therapeutics\, necessitating new approaches that synergize with existing strategies to address clinically unmet needs. This talk will highlight ongoing work in our lab that spans the discovery\, design\, and translation of novel molecular therapeutics for applications ranging from cancer to autoimmune disorders to regenerative medicine. \nSeminar Flyer_Jamie Spangler \n  \n\nDate/Time:\nDate(s) – May 16\, 2019\n12:00 pm – 1:00 pm \nLocation: \nEngineering V\, Room 2101\n410 Westwood Plaza\, Los Angeles CA 90095

SUMMARY:Library Prep for Next Generation Sequencing - Day Three
DESCRIPTION:Library preparation is a critical part of successful next generation sequencing analysis. This workshop introduces the basis of Next-Gen Sequencing Library Preparation for Illumina Sequencers. We will explore different Library Preparation Techniques (DNA-seq\, ChIP-seq\, RNA-seq\, Methyl-seq). Next\, this workshop covers steps for performing Quality Control\, starting input material\, final libraries in the Lab (TapeStation)\, purification from Primer Dimers (using AMPure beads)\, and Library Submission.

SUMMARY:RNA-Seq Analysis II - Day Two
DESCRIPTION:RNA sequencing uses next-generation sequencing to reveal the presence and quantity of RNA in a biological sample at a given moment. First\, this workshop introduces key tools developed for analysis of gene expression data from read counts to biology using R. To facilitate learning\, we will use a real case-study-based approach appropriate for Illumina read data (same as RNA-seq I).

SUMMARY:RNA-Seq Analysis I - Day Three
DESCRIPTION:RNA sequencing is used to examine the continuously changing cellular transcriptome. First\, this workshop provides an introduction and the basics tools to process raw RNA-seq data on a cluster machine (Hoffman2). This workshop can serve as a starting point to develop a gene expression project. To facilitate learning\, we will explore a hands-on tutorial that guides students in processing the data from raw reads through read counts. We will use a real-case study-based approach appropriate for Illumina read data.

SUMMARY:Single-Cell RNA-Seq - Day Three
DESCRIPTION:RNA sequencing of single cells (scRNA-seq) provides a high-resolution view of cellular differences and function. First\, this workshop introduces the basic concepts and data analysis tools for single-cell RNA-seq techniques. Next\, this workshop covers the important applications of scRNA-seq\, the important considerations in designing a scRNA-seq experiment\, the major differences between popular technical platforms\, and the main steps in preliminary data analysis. This workshop can serve as a starting point to conceive a scRNA-seq study or to analyze a scRNA-seq dataset.

SUMMARY:RNA-Seq Analysis I - Day Two
DESCRIPTION:RNA sequencing is used to examine the continuously changing cellular transcriptome. First\, this workshop provides an introduction and the basics tools to process raw RNA-seq data on a cluster machine (Hoffman2). This workshop can serve as a starting point to develop a gene expression project. To facilitate learning\, we will explore a hands-on tutorial that guides students in processing the data from raw reads through read counts. We will use a real-case study-based approach appropriate for Illumina read data.

SUMMARY:Single-Cell RNA-Seq - Day Two
DESCRIPTION:RNA sequencing of single cells (scRNA-seq) provides a high-resolution view of cellular differences and function. First\, this workshop introduces the basic concepts and data analysis tools for single-cell RNA-seq techniques. Next\, this workshop covers the important applications of scRNA-seq\, the important considerations in designing a scRNA-seq experiment\, the major differences between popular technical platforms\, and the main steps in preliminary data analysis. This workshop can serve as a starting point to conceive a scRNA-seq study or to analyze a scRNA-seq dataset.

SUMMARY:Advanced Python - Day Three
DESCRIPTION:Python can be used to handle large datasets\, and is useful in manipulating data and plotting data trends for visual presentation. First\, this workshop introduces several more advanced topics in Python\, such as a brief overview of object-oriented Python\, use of the numpy and pandas libraries (Python libraries for efficient handling of large numeric and heterogenous datasets)\, and matplotlib for plotting results. At the end of this workshop\, students will better understand the python data structures for handling large datasets and will have some knowledge of how to manipulate these data and plot them for presentation.

SUMMARY:Using NGS Analysis Tools - Day Three
DESCRIPTION:High-throughput sequencing technology involves a number of concepts and techniques that shape a project before application-specific processes are utilized. First\, this workshop introduces the more ÒuniversalÓ aspects of high-throughput sequence analysisÑfrom experimental design to sequencing and alignment methods. Next\, this workshop covers common file formats for sequence data and limitations of sequencing technologies. We will explore a hands-on exercise using the Hoffman2 cluster and will use programs designed to analyze read data\, clean artifact and low-quality sequences\, and align short reads to a reference genome. At the end of this workshop\, students will better understand the logic behind how many of these steps work. Students who are comfortable working with the command line will find this course significantly easier than those who are inexperienced in command-line interface. While Workshop 1 is not an absolute requirement\, it is highly recommended for any student who is not already experienced working in a command line environment. A student who takes this workshop at the same time as Workshop 1 should not find any problems with timing of material between these two classes.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Modern Statistics - Day Three
DESCRIPTION:Workshop attendees will walk away knowing when and how to run modern versions of traditional statistical analysis. First\, this workshop introduces tests and underlying bioinformatical lessons about resampling which are useful to most scientific disciplines. This workshop makes no assumptions about familiarity with traditional statistics; we will simply go through relatable experimental examples and ask how to test various hypotheses\, introducing the relevant methods along the way. Next\, this workshop covers how to best deal with common questions in experimental analysis: What tests can be applied to small sample sizes? When can one assume linearity in the data? What to do with non-Gaussian data / residuals? How does one best detect and justify removing outliers? Which estimators are appropriate with highly non-continuous samples?
