SUMMARY:Seminar with Nick Buchler\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:In person only \n  \nHOSTED BY PALMER LAB \n \n  \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. Nicolas Buchler joined NC State in July 2018 as a Chancellor’s Faculty Excellence Program cluster hire in Modeling the Living Embryo.  He is biophysicist and geneticist by training with expertise in biological oscillations (e.g.\, cell cycle\, metabolic rhythms)\, fungal genomics and evolution\, single-cell gene expression\, and mathematical modeling of gene regulatory dynamics. His research is focused on understanding how the cell cycle interacts with metabolic rhythms\, and how changes in these interactions lead to disease or new functions. The lab primarily works with early-diverging Fungi and yeasts\, but they collaborate with others to study these same questions in other regulatory systems (e.g. circadian clocks) and organisms (e.g. animals and plants). \nDr. Buchler received a B.S. in Physics from the University of California at San Diego\, before working on protein structure and evolution while obtaining a Ph.D. in Biophysics at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. During his post-doc\, first at the University of California at San Diego and then at the Center for Studies in Physics & Biology at Rockefeller University\, he combined mathematical modeling and experiments to understand how networks of genes sense and respond to multiple signals\, store memories of past events\, and schedule periodic events (e.g. cell cycle).

SUMMARY:Seminar with Jingyi Jessica Li\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:In-person only | Hosted by Tarek Zikry\, PhD \nAbout the speaker:  \nJingyi Jessica Li is a statistician and computational biologist whose work bridges data science and biomedical research. She develops reliable and interpretable methods to analyze complex biological data\, with a focus on understanding how genes function and are regulated in health and disease. Her research has helped uncover hidden patterns in gene expression and emphasized the importance of statistical rigor—ensuring that scientific discoveries are trustworthy\, even when working with noisy or low-quality data. She strongly believes that statistics is not just a supporting tool but a core driver of progress in biology and medicine. \nDr. Li is Professor and Program Head of Biostatistics at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center\, where she holds the Donald and Janet K. Guthrie Endowed Chair in Statistics\, and Affiliate Professor of Biostatistics at the University of Washington. Previously\, she was Professor of Statistics and Data Science at UCLA\, with joint appointments in Biostatistics\, Computational Medicine\, and Human Genetics. She earned her Ph.D. in Biostatistics from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and her B.S. in Biological Sciences from Tsinghua University. Her contributions have been recognized with the NSF CAREER Award\, Sloan Research Fellowship\, ISCB Overton Prize\, COPSS Emerging Leaders Award\, Guggenheim Fellowship\, and the Mortimer Spiegelman Award. \n

SUMMARY:LCCC Seminar with Joel Saltz\, MD (Stony Brook University)
DESCRIPTION:The UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center\, in collaboration with the UNC Computational Medicine Program\n \n——— \n\nAbout the Speaker:   Dr. Joel Saltz is a Distinguished Professor of Biomedical Informatics at Stony Brook University and a pioneer in computational pathology and AI. A Fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics\, he has founded three Biomedical Informatics departments. He holds an MD and a PhD in Computer Science\, completed his residency at Johns Hopkins\, and is board-certified in Clinical Pathology.\n\nAbstract: Routine Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained slides harbor a wealth of diagnostic and prognostic information that extends far beyond what conventional visual inspection can extract. This talk traces the evolution of computational pathology\, from foundational digital infrastructure like the Virtual Microscope to advanced deep learning methodologies. I will discuss our recent pathology AI research\, including latent conditional diffusion models for predicting immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining directly from H&E\, the generation of privacy-preserving synthetic tissues\, explainable pathology AI\, and techniques for extracting pathology synoptic elements using biologically interpretable models. I will also describe our collaborative work with UNC in breast cancer\, focusing on the predictive value of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and the use of quantitative tissue morphology to accurately forecast clinical outcomes.

SUMMARY:Seminar with Irina Kufareva\, PhD (UC San Diego)
DESCRIPTION:In person only | Hosted by Dr.Yinglong Miao \nResearch Summary: The Kufareva lab studies structural\, molecular\, and architectural principles of cell responses to stimuli and drugs via computational approaches. Our work is mostly focused on G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). We use conventional and AI-powered molecular modeling to unlock the therapeutic potential of orphan and understudied GPCRs. \n  \n \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER:  \nIrina Kufareva\, PhD\, Professor \nSkaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences \nUC San Diego \nEducation: S.c. laude M.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science (1994) from Tomsk State University\, Russia; Ph.D. in Computer Science (2000) from Tomsk State University\, Russia \nPostdoctoral training: Computational Structural Biology (2004-2009)\, The Scripps Research Institute\, La Jolla\, CA \nSelected Professional Experiences: Editorial Board member\, npj Drug Discovery (2024-present)\, NIH DMPB study section standing member and alternate chair (2023-2025); NIH DDNS study section\, standing member (2022); NIH BPNS study section\, standing member (2021); co-organizer\, community-wide GPCR Dock assessments (2010\, 2013\, 2021); ad hoc reviewer for NSF CLP PSD panel (2019) and NIH NCF study section (2017). \nSelected Honors \n\nRecipient of the UC San Diego VCHS Excellence Award in Mentorship\, Service and Research\nInvited presentations at the CHI Discovery On Target Conference\, Boston\, MA (2022)\, Gordon Research Conference on Mol.
