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:Monday - FUSION: Jack Bennett\, Lauren Griffith\, & Shenice Harrison
DESCRIPTION:Jack Bennett (Cook lab) \n\n\n\nIntracellular pH can be manipulated by inhibiting ion transporters\, and these changes can be measured by flow cytometry\npH manipulations may alter cell cycle progression\, arresting cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n  \n\n\n \n\n\nLauren Griffith (Williams lab) \n\n\n\nExplore how integrin-β1 and its adaptor protein Talin loss-of function affects oriented cell divisions and telophase correction in fixed tissue and live imaging\nExplore how integrin-β1 and its adaptor protein Talin loss-of function impacts basal cell delamination\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n  \n\n\n \n\n\nShenice Harrison (Edwards lab) \n\n\n\nImpaired myristoylation disrupts sarcomere organization and reduces sarcomere length in embryonic cardiomyocytes\nOptimizing a metabolic labeling strategy to identify the myristoylated cardiac proteins required for proper sarcomere assembly\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Monday – FUSION: Michelle LaBella & Mady Chlebowski
DESCRIPTION:Michelle LaBella (Yeh lab) \n\n\n\nTNIK is required to restrain tumor invasion in PDAC\n\nClear difference in mechanism when compared to colorectal/lung cancer\n\n\nTNIK is a newly identified regulator of PLAT\, tPA expression and ECM modulation through fibrin degradation\nNew mechanism for PDAC invasion and metastasis\, may be what restrains classical tumors\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n  \n\n\n \n\n\nMady Chlebowski (Shiau & Chen labs) \n\n\n\nDistinct neuroimmune and other cell-cell interactions may serve as early signatures of neurodegeneration prior to overt morphological cell death\nThis holds promise for early detection or intervention of neurodegenerative diseases\n\n\n\n
