SUMMARY:Fall 2024 Seminar Series - Francisco Laurindo\, MD\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Francisco Laurindo\, MD\, PhD \n\n\n\n\nProfessor\, Heart Institute (Incor) & Director\, Vascular Biology Laboratory \n\n\nUniversity of São Paulo \n\n\nPresident\, Society for Redox Biology and Medicine \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResearch focus \n\n\nAn endoplasmic reticulum-centered model for redox-dependent intercellular communication \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFaculty hosts \n\n\nEdward Bahnson\, PhD and Sharon Campbell\, PhD \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore information on speaker  \nFrancisco Laurindo is pioneer in redox signaling and cardiovascular biology. He earned his medical degree from the University of São Paulo School of Medicine in 1978 and completed his residence training in internal medicine and cardiology at the University of São Paulo School of Medicine’s Heart Institute (Incor). He trained in physiology and pharmacology at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences under the mentorship of Robert Goldstein from 1984 to 1987. In 1992\, he returned to the University of São Paulo School of Medicine\, where he earned his PhD investigating the mechanisms of redox signaling in the vascular system under the supervision of Protásio da Luz. In 2001\, with da Luz\, Laurindo started the Vascular Biology Laboratory at the Heart Institute (Incor) and became its director in 2008. He investigates the mechanisms and regulatory processes underlying oxidant species production in vascular cells and tissues and their physiological implications for vessel remodeling in disease. His research group uncovered the shear stress-dependent generation of superoxide radical from the endothelium\, characterized the redox response to vascular injury\, and discovered how the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone protein\, disulfide isomerase\, interacts functionally and physically with oxidant-generating NADPH oxidase complexes. These findings have led to a better understanding of endoplasmic reticulum pathophysiology on NADPH oxidase function and how redox processes regulate cell migration and vascular remodeling.

SUMMARY:Fall 2024 Seminar Series - Danielle Schmitt\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Danielle Schmitt PhD \n\n\n\n\nAssistant Professor\, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry \n\n\nUniversity of California\, Los Angeles \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResearch focus \n\n\nIlluminating compartmentalized metabolic regulation in single cells \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFaculty host \n\n\nWhitney Edwards\, PhD \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore information on speaker  \nDanielle Schmitt obtained her Bachelor of Science in chemistry and biochemistry from Ball State University\, where she was a Lewis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation Scholar. She earned her PhD in biochemistry from the University of Maryland Baltimore County under the mentorship of Songon An\, where she identified the mechanisms for forming multienzyme complexes produced by metabolic enzymes. She completed her postdoctoral training as a California President’s Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California San Diego with Jin Zhang. There\, she used genetically encoded reporters for kinase activity to study subcellular regulation of cellular signal transduction. Schmitt joined the University of California\, Los Angeles faculty in 2022. Her research team investigates how cells organize essential processes like metabolism and signaling to coordinate cell function and fate. They take a multidisciplinary approach to identify mechanisms for subcellular compartmentation of metabolic processes\, including signaling networks regulating metabolism and metabolites\, and develop new genetically encoded tools to study metabolic events in single cells.

SUMMARY:Spring 2025 Seminar Series – Sergiu Pasca\, MD
DESCRIPTION:Sergiu Pasca\, MD \n\n\n\n\nKenneth T. Norris\, Jr. Professor\, Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences \n\n\nStanford University \n\n\nResearch focus \n\n\nUnderstanding human brain assembly and the molecular mechanisms that lead to neuropsychiatric disease using neural organoids \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFaculty host \n\n\nGrégory Scherrer\, PharmD\, PhD \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore about the speaker  \nTrained as a physician in Romania\, Dr. Sergiu Pasca\, came for postdoctoral training at Stanford in 2009 where he developed some of the initial in vitro models of disease by deriving neurons from skin cells taken from patients with genetic brain disorders. His lab has afterwards introduced the use of instructive signals for reproducibly deriving self-organizing 3D cellular structures known as regionalized neural organoids or spheroids. To gain access to complex cellular interactions in the human brain\, his research group also pioneered a modular system to study human neural circuits in preparations named assembloids.

SUMMARY:Spring 2025 Seminar Series – I. Robert Nabi\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:I. Robert Nabi\, PhD \n\n\n\n\nProfessor \n\n\nCellular & Physiological Sciences \n\n\nThe University of British Columbia \n\n\n  \n\n\nTalk Title \n\n\nNanoscopy powered by machine learning: novel insight into subcellular structure \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the speaker  \nDr. Ivan Robert Nabi earned his PhD in cancer metastasis from the Weizman Institute of Science. He is currently a professor in cellular and physiological sciences at The University of British Columbia. His research team investigates the cell biology of cancer. The expression of cellular domains\, ranging from cell polarity to organelle biogenesis to membrane microdomain organization\, play important roles in cell function. Dr. Nabi’s research team has elucidated the significance of various cellular domains in receptor function and cell motility. Some of their key discoveries include developing network analysis of dSTORM super-resolution microscopy to define the molecular architecture of caveolae and scaffolds and defining the role of Gp78 (also known as autocrine motility factor receptor (AMFR))\, a cancer-associated receptor and E3 ubiquitin ligase in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) associated degradation\, in ER-mitochondria interaction and mitophagy.
