SUMMARY:Research in Progress | Weitong Zhang
DESCRIPTION:In-person | Mary Ellen Jones 3116 \nVirtual |  ZOOM LINK  (passcode RESEARCH) \nTITLE: On exact energy guided diffusion model and diffusion-based offline reinforcement learning \nAbstract: Guided generative models are pivotal in advancing the applications of generative modeling. In this talk\, I will explore energy guidance in diffusion and flow matching models–a generalized formulation that extends beyond conventional diffusion models. By leveraging energy guidance\, generative models are encouraged to produce samples with higher energy from the target data distribution. I will introduce energy-weighted diffusion model and flow matching model\, with efficient implementation and offering new theoretical insights. In the second half of the presentation\, I will discuss the extension of this approach to offline reinforcement learning through Q-weighted iterative policy optimization\, which shows notable performance improvements across various offline RL tasks. \n\nShort Bio: Weitong Zhang joined the School of Data Science and Society at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as an assistant professor after completing his Ph.D. degree in computer science at the University of California\, Los Angeles. His research focuses on developing robust and efficient reinforcement learning algorithms\, emphasizing generative models and their applications in scientific discovery. \n

SUMMARY:Seminar with Saskia Hemmers\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:in-person only \n  \n \n  \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. Hemmers established a strong foundation in cellular immunology during her postdoctoral training with Dr. Rudensky at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center\, that led to the establishment of her first independent research laboratory at Duke. Since joining the Integrative Immunobiology department\, the lab has set out to gain a deeper understanding of how tissue cues affect immune and glial cell behavior. The lab is particularly focused on how tissue damage and inflammation shape T cell and glial cell function in the context of neuroinflammation. An additional line of research probes how the cellular ontogeny of T cells contributes to the layered immune system in adulthood. \nDr. Hemmers is a dedicated mentor to the next generation of scientists. She teaches a variety of classes and currently supervises graduate students and Duke undergraduates. Her teaching and mentoring approaches are tailored towards the individual’s needs and a collaborative process. \n— \nComplete List of Published Work in Dr.Hemmers’ Bibliography: HERE \n

SUMMARY:Seminar with Olga Anczukȯw\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn-person only \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \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. Olga Anczuków\, PhD\, Associate Professor at The Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine\, Farmington\, CT\, is an investigator with expertise in RNA and cancer biology. She is a Research Program Co-Leader at the NCI-designated Jackson Laboratory Cancer Center. She completed her PhD at University Claude Bernard Lyon 1 in France\, and her postdoctoral training at Cold Spring Harbor laboratory\, NY\, USA. \nThe goals of her research program (www.anczukowlab.com) are to understand how misregulation of alternative RNA splicing\, including alterations driven by aging\, contributes to cancer\, and to develop novel therapeutic strategies to target splicing regulators and their targets. \nHer laboratory uses patient-derived organoids\, mouse models\, and RNA-sequencing to identify splicing alterations that contribute to tumor initiation\, metastasis\, and drug resistance. She identified splicing factors and their targets that promote tumor initiation and/or invasion and metastasis in in vivo and in vitro models of breast cancer. Using short- and long-read RNA-sequencing\, her work further defined the splicing landscape of human primary tumors and discovered novel tumor-specific full-length isoforms associated with prognosis in breast cancer\, as well as other tumors types. In particular\, her work revealed a pan-cancer splicing signature of MYC activity and nominated novel targets for MYC-driven tumors. Finally\, her lab is leveraging RNA-based therapeutics to study the function of specific aging and cancer-associated isoforms as well as to design novel drugs for tumors with splicing alterations.  \nShe is the Principal Investigator on four major grants (NCI R01\, NIGMS R01\, NCI R21/R33\, and a Hevolution Foundation Advancing Geroscience Efforts Award) which support her unique program’s integrative research approach\, which connects the fields of RNA biology\, cancer research\, and aging to reveal novel avenues for mechanistic discovery and new personalized cancer therapies. She is a member of the RNA Society and the American Association for Cancer Research\, and member of the AACR Task Force on Aging and Cancer. She co-organized multiple international conferences\, including the FASEB RNA Processing in Cancer Conference: From Bench to Bedside (2023)\, the Forbeck Forum on Therapeutic Targeting of mRNA splicing in Cancer (2023)\, and the JAX Long read sequencing workshop (2024). She serves or has served on NIH study sections and peer review groups in the US and abroad\, in addition to reviewing manuscripts for a range of leading journals. She is also dynamically engaged in the research community\, in the training of the next generation of cancer researchers\, and in science outreach programs. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Seminar with Adam MacLean\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:In-person only | Hosted by Tarek Zikry \n  \nTalk Title: Gene regulatory network dynamics and the fate of single cells \nAbstract: \nCells make decisions to enable multicellular life. Cell fate decision-making underlies development and homeostasis\, and goes awry as we age. Despite great promise\, we have yet to harness the high-resolution information on cell states and fates that single-cell genomics data offer to understand cell fate decisions in development and aging. Nor do we know how these fate decisions are controlled by gene regulatory networks. I will describe our recent work constructing models of cell fate decisions and their control by gene regulatory networks using single-cell genomics. In application to the human lifetime\, we have discovered how early-life events — mutational\, transcriptional\, and epigenetic — shape and change stem cell function as we age in a manner that could be harnessed to ameliorate diseases of aging. \n  \nAbout the speaker:  \nAdam MacLean develops theory to understand cell fate decision-making in stem cells and cancer. He has developed models of cell-cell communication\, and the gene regulatory networks that control cell fate decisions via single-cell multi-omics data analysis and statistical inference. He is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Quantitative and Computational Biology\, at the University of Southern California. He studied mathematical physics (BSc) at the University of Edinburgh and completed a PhD in systems biology from Imperial College London. He worked as a postdoc at the University of Oxford and the University of California Irvine\, before joining USC in 2019. Recent awards for his work include an NSF CAREER award (2022) and an NIH R35 MIRA award (2022). \n

SUMMARY:Seminar with Nagarajan Vaidehi\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:In-person only | Hosted by Miao Lab \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nNagarajan Vaidehi\, Ph.D.\, is professor and chair of the Department of Computational and Quantitative Medicine within Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope. Dr. Vaidehi also oversees the Computational Therapeutics Core.\n\nDr. Vaidehi received her Ph.D. in quantum chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology in India\, where she was honored with the Distinguished Alumni Award in 2016. Following her postdoctoral studies on protein dynamics simulation methods with Nobel Laureate Arieh Warshel\, Ph.D.\, at University of Southern California\, and William A Goddard III\, Ph.D.\, at Caltech\, she became the director of biomolecular simulations at the Materials and Process Simulation Center\, Beckman Institute at Caltech.\n\n\nDr. Vaidehi joined City of Hope in 2006 as a professor and has since advanced the use of computational methods to meet the challenges of designing therapeutics. She is an internationally recognized biophysicist for her contributions in developing constrained molecular dynamics simulation methods with emphasis on application to G-protein coupled receptors and drug design.\n\n
