SUMMARY:Chemical Engineering Spring Seminar Series: Dr. Michael Murrell
DESCRIPTION:Energetic Constraints on Biological Assembly and Motion \nOn small length-scales\, the mechanics of soft materials may be dominated by their interfacial properties as opposed to their bulk properties. These effects are described by equilibrium models of elasto-capillarity and wetting. In these models\, interfacial energies and bulk material properties are held constant. However\, in biological materials\, including living cells and tissues\, these properties are not constant\, but are ‘actively’ regulated and driven far from thermodynamic equilibrium. As a result\, the constraints on work produced during the various physical behaviors of the cell are unknown. Here\, by measurement of elasto-capillary effects during cell adhesion\, growth\, and motion\, we demonstrate that interfacial and bulk parameters violate equilibrium constraints and exhibit anomalous effects\, which depend upon a distance from equilibrium. However\, their anomalous properties are reciprocal\, and thus in combination reliably define energetic constraints on the production of work arbitrarily far from equilibrium. These results provide basic principles that govern biological assembly and behavior. \n\nMichael Murrell received his BS at Johns Hopkins University and his PhD at MIT. He then had a joint postdoctoral fellowship between the Institute for Biophysical Dynamics at the University of Chicago\, and the Institut Curie\, in Paris\, France. He now runs the Laboratory for Living Matter within the Systems Biology Institute at the Yale West Campus\, as part of the Biomedical Engineering and Physics Departments. His laboratory studies the non-equilibrium properties of biological systems\, as well as designs and engineers novel bio-inspired materials. His group comprises a diverse group of experimentalists\, computational scientists\, and theorists all driven to understand some of the most fundamental questions in biophysics.

SUMMARY:Chemical Engineering Spring Seminar Series: Dr. Christina Chan
DESCRIPTION:Role of microenvironment on mediating diseases\, DNA repair\, and lipid alterations \nOur group incorporates metabolic engineering and systems biology approaches in combination with biochemical and molecular biology measurements to identify targets and disease biomarkers. To modulate these targets and pathway we are concomitantly developing polymeric-based drug delivery systems. \nWe apply a multifaceted approach in investigating the role of soluble cues (e.g.\, elevated fatty acid levels\, PFAS) in the microenvironment on modulating the signaling and regulatory pathways that contribute to diseases. These extracellular signals are mainly in the form of soluble factors that activate intracellular signaling cascades that drive changes in the cell. Our group has identified that saturated fatty acids (i.e.\, palmitate)\, which are well studied for their roles in metabolism\, can also activate signaling pathways that affect proteostasis. Through biochemical and biophysical studies\, we found that palmitate binds directly to proteins involved in proteostasis to modulate their activity and downstream signaling to alter DNA repair\, which has implications on chemotolerance\, lipid profile\, and heart disease. \n\nChristina Chan is a University Distinguished Professor and Interim Chairperson of Chemical Engineering at Michigan State University (MSU). She also has appointments in the Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology\, Biomedical Engineering\, and Computer Science and Engineering. Prior to joining MSU in 2002\, she was a post-doctoral fellow at the Center for Engineering in Medicine at the Harvard Medical School. Chan earned her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Columbia University and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. She spent 8 years in DuPont prior to returning to academia. Her laboratory applies a multifaceted approach in investigating the role of soluble cues in the microenvironment on modulating the signaling and regulatory pathways that contribute to diseases. To modulate these targets and pathways\, her laboratory is developing polymeric-based drug delivery systems as well as tissue engineering platforms that capitalize on how scaffolds\, cells\, and biologically active molecules interact to form functional tissues. Her group has published more than 165 journal articles\, reviews\, book chapters and reviewed conference papers. She was elected Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE)\, AIChE\, and AAAS.
