SUMMARY:CompMed Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Dr. Pratip Chattopadhyay \nTalk Title: From Imagination to Implementation: The Development and Future of High Content Immune Analysis \nAbstract: Over the past 10-20 years\, immunologists have driven a revolution in single-cell analysis. The combined advances in hardware\, reagents\, and software have revealed the incredible complexity of the immune system\, setting the stage for powerful new studies of disease. This presentation reviews the field of single-cell analysis\, discusses paradigm shifts in both technology development and the study of immune cells\, and demonstrates how high content flow cytometry and molecular cytometry can contribute to biomarker discovery. The presentation concludes with a description of new solutions for the next generation of challenges in the field. \nBio:\nCEO\, Talon Biomarkers\nCSO\, TerraFlow Bioinformatics\nPratip Chattopadhyay is an internationally recognized leader in the experimental design\, analysis\, and interpretation of single-cell omics\, having developed some of the most widely used approaches and tools in the field. He has led efforts in the development and application of polychromatic flow cytometry\, immunoassays\, and emerging single-cell technologies (both proteomic and transcriptomic)\, and is an acclaimed lecturer and teacher with global audiences. \nPratip earned a Ph.D. in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a B.A. in Biology from the University of Virginia. From 2003-to 2017 he was an NIH Staff Scientist working on the development of technologies for single-cell analysis and immunoassays\, application to fundamental immunology\, and immuno-monitoring in vaccine and disease pathogenesis settings. From 2017-to 2021 Pratip was the Associate Professor (Pathology) and Founding Director\, Precision Immunology laboratory\, NYU Langone Health\, where his laboratory and core facility were focused on identifying changes to the immune system that correlated with or predicted disease outcome or therapeutic efficacy. \nPratip is now leading two start-ups -Talon Biomarkers (CEO\, Founder) and TerraFlow (CSO\, Co-Founder). Talon Biomarkers is a biomarker discovery engine built to capture indicators of disease and therapy from a sea of immune cells. TerraFlow is a new data analysis platform that evaluates millions of phenotypes to identify the cell types that best predict patient outcomes\, in a manner that is easy to explain\, accessible\, and highly interpretable.

SUMMARY:Faculty Candidate Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Abigail Lind\, PhD \nGladstone Institutes\, UCSF\, San Francisco\, CA \nTalk Title: From pathogens to commensals: human-associated microbial eukaryotes through the lens of genomics and evolution \n  \nHumans coexist with myriad microbes that live within and on us\, impacting our health in beneficial and detrimental ways. These microbes come from all domains of life and include bacteria\, archaea\, and eukaryotes. Eukaryotic microbes\, including protists and fungi\, are emerging as key members of the microbiome that influence other microbiota and host health in multifaceted ways. The factors that differentiate negative and positive interactions with a human host\, and mechanistically how eukaryotic microbes accomplish these impacts\, are unknown. \nI have developed methods to routinely and accurately identify eukaryotic microbes in microbiomes\, and discovered that multiple commensal protists are common members of a healthy gut. I have found that Blastocystis\, a diverse species complex of stramenopile protists\, are the most prevalent commensal gut eukaryotes worldwide and can be found in the guts of animals from insects to humans. Interestingly\, Blastocystis is closely associated with gut health\, correlating with decreased inflammation and high bacterial diversity. However\, we understand very little about the biology of this common organism\, which in the past has even been viewed as a parasite. Using comparative and functional genomics approaches in combination with mechanistic experiments on defined anaerobic cultures I investigate the function of Blastocystis and other commensal gut protists in the microbiome. These approaches have identified key biological principles of Blastocystis and in the future will determine how these common commensal gut protists interact with bacterial gut microbiota and the human host to impact health.

SUMMARY:Faculty Candidate Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Presenter Christian Cuba-Samaniego\, PhD \nUniversity of California Los Angeles \nTalk Title: Adapting feedback control and pattern recognition paradigms for biotechnological applications \nEngineering synthetic networks with desired behavior for robust adaptation or complex decision-making is challenging. Current approaches rely on different negative regulation techniques or logic-based operators\, which suffer from suboptimal performance. To address this limitation\, we introduce two design principles: (1) ultrasensitive input-output behavior and (2) tunable thresholds. Here\, we engineer ultrasensitive-based networks to both achieve adaptive behavior through feedback control and build synthetic programs for molecular pattern recognition by implementing neural computing networks in living cells.
