In fact, oncoproteins and their proteoforms are implicated in tumor progression, metastasis, and drug resistance across different cancer types. Yet, a severely limited set of isoforms are even detectable, with single-cell resolution. A next-generation of cancer subtype classification tools that include protein isoforms are urgently needed.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EImmunoassays are the de facto standard for direct measurement of endogenous, unmodified oncoproteins, including use of immunohistochemistry (IHC) in tissue analysis.

Integration of standards to quantify and control technical variation will be presented, as both analytical variability (lack of isoform-specific antibody probes) and biological variability (small cell subpopulations diluted in bulk analysis) can render oncoproteins undetectable.

Integrated Material Assessment and Predictive Simulation Laboratory (i-MAPS) at the University of South Carolina (UofSC) has significant thrust on acoustical biomimetic for various applications. The approach is primarily based on observation, modeling and fabrication. All applications are derived from natural acoustic processes that we tend to ignore but naturally developed in the mammalian body. Through observation of the mechanism, understanding of the physics is derived from modified optimized physics-based models. Upon confirmation, the systems are fabricated for testing and validation. a) Inspired by the human cochlea, which is a magnificent acoustic device, an artificial basilar membrane is fabricated for potential use as mechanical Fourier Transformer. The device has potential applications in artificial hearing aids and artificial hearing devices for efficient human-robot interactions in the future. b) Natural transport of medicine and molecules through blood-brain-barrier (BBB) is challenging, however, with the aid of acoustical perturbation it is found to have increased absorption. Through understanding the physical mechanism acoustically aided artificial BBB are researched with neural experiments in acoustically aided microfluidic system. c) The lab-on-a-chip devices are very effective in sensing different mechanical and physical parameters related to biosensing, irrespective of their field of application, but has noticeable limitations. The limitation comes mostly from the demands posed by the users in a simultaneous sensing and the actuation environment, employing mutually exclusive physics and mechanisms. To overcome such limitations, acoustic waves devices are proposed for both sensing and actuation in a single platform simultaneously. The physics of surface acoustic wave (SAW) is one valuable physics used in MEMS that gives SAW devices to cover a wide range of applications such as filters, oscillators, transformers, sensors and actuators for biosensing.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Dr. Sourav Banerjee is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of South Carolina (UofSC).

The rapid development of drug resistance to currently available therapies and associated side effects leads to serious public health concern; hence, devising novel treatment strategies is of paramount importance. The application of nanotechnology in infectious diseases is fast-revolutionizing the biomedical field and the healthcare sector and has a potential to diagnose, treat and prevent diseases.\u0026quot;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbstract:\u003C\/strong\u003E Virus detection and immunization both require exquisite molecular recognition of virus-specific structures. Achieving such recognition is one of the chief functions of the immune system. Over the past three months, we have asked the mouse immune system to accomplish this, in a straightforward but intense series of experiments focused on the obvious coronavirus target: the \u0026ldquo;spike\u0026rdquo; protein that the pathogen uses to interact with and invade human cells. The general approach, platform design and manufacture, and current results will be described, along with a discussion of where we and others may go next in the rapid development of SARS-nCoV-2 detection and therapy.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EM.G.

It uses light to transfer a geometric pattern from a photomask (also called an optical mask) to a photosensitive (that is, light-sensitive) chemical photoresist on the substrate, or it can be directly written with a UV-laser equipment. It provides precise control of the shape and size of the objects it creates and can create patterns over an entire surface cost-effectively. The Georgia Tech Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology (IEN) cleanroom provides various types of photolithography equipment to satisfy different processing needs. Each tool has its own unique characteristics and serves different purposes. In this seminar, a brief introduction to the equipment and patterning capabilities of the IEN will be presented.

He moved to Lexington, KY, in 1958 when his father took a position at the newly constructed IBM plant in Lexington. Richard studied Electrical Engineering at the University of Kentucky, and afterword\u0026rsquo;s worked in various fields. Shafer came to Georgia Tech in 1999 to work in the MSE department on an improved electron emitter source for deep space ion engines. He worked along with the JPL on a part of an ion engine for the Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (JIMO) project. When Richard started working with Dr. Mark Allen in 2005 as a lab manager, part of his responsibilities were to run the\u0026nbsp;laser\u0026nbsp;micromachining operations that were commissioned to make MEMS devices.

Removing material through chemical or physical means is an essential skill found in most microelectronics laboratories. The Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology (IEN) at Georgia Tech offers a wide variety of tools and technologies to etch materials during a multitude of fabrication processes. Tools range from typical plasma enhanced etchers to vapor based etchers. With 15+ etch tools in the facility, IEN staff has the flexibility to configure each tool with a different selection of gases, which enables different etch capabilities and allow the IEN to segregate processes within the facility. In this seminar, a brief introduction to the tools and technologies available in the IEN cleanrooms will be presented. Common etching issues and concerns will also be discussed.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;Dr. Mikkel Thomas has worked for the Institute for Electronics and Nanotechnology since 2008.

The rapid development of drug resistance to currently available therapies and associated side effects leads to serious public health concern; hence, devising novel treatment strategies is of paramount importance.

Current tests rely on RT-qPCR which requires a thermocycler and limits point-of-care (POC) use. POC tests that can amplify signals without specialized instrumentation could be deployed for rapid screening\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nand reach a broader segment of the population. Here we will highlight strategies for isothermal amplification to allow major classes of biomarkers \u0026ndash; including nucleic acids, proteins, and cells \u0026ndash; to be detected with minimal sample processing. Central to our strategy is taking advantage of enzymatic turnover, such as with proteases or Cas12a, to amplify detection signals. We aim to adapt these methods with paper-based assays to allow visualization of test results by eye. These strategies are generalization to a broad range of diseases to increase access to POC testing.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EDr. Kwong is an Associate Professor in the Wallace H.

Much of the recent progress in optical materials has been driven by periodic structuring of materials on finer and finer scales relative to the design wave-length. Recently metasurface optics employing planar plasmonic structures ar-rayed in a two-dimensional (2D) array to affect beam steering and lensing were reported. Subsequent analysis of the physical mechanisms at play revealed that such a planar system has a maximum theoretical efficiency of 25%. The analysis further showed that by enabling current flow in the third dimension, the direction of travel through the lens, this restriction could be lifted.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn this seminar, I will discuss our recent work on fabrication and characterization of 3D meta-films, suspended structures with sub-wavelength structuring along all three dimensions and a total thickness of \u0026lt; 4-\u0026mu;m. The struc-tures are fabricated on ~ 1-\u0026mu;m thick silicon nitride membranes using a new CMOS compatible membrane pro-jection lithography (MPL) approach. Elimination of the bulk substrate allows us to collect almost all the transmit-ted and reflected light from the sample and simplifies modeling and design. The response of these 3D meta-films possesses features characteristic of the metallic meta-atoms as well as slab photonic crystal resonances resulting from the periodic unit cell array, the nitride walls and support membrane. I will outline the fabrication sequence and present measured infrared transmission characterization of 3D unit cells with vertically oriented elliptical plasmonic inclusions in the unit cell. Furthermore, we demonstrate control over the coupling between the plasmonic modes of the metallic inclusion and photonic crystal slab modes of the support matrix by adjusting the dimensions of the inclusions. The ability to control the coupling between the unit cell decoration and the unit cell matrix while also allowing for current flow in all three dimensions offers a powerful new design element for next generation optical elements.\u003Cstrong\u003E \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio: \u003C\/strong\u003EBruce Burckel received his BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of New Mexico in 1993, at which point he was evenly split between attending graduate school, medical school or law school.

He received his MS (1995 \u0026ndash; optical non-contact temperature measurement) and PhD (2004 \u0026ndash; generalized transverse Bragg waveguiding) also from the University of New Mexico, separated by a stint contemplating a software start-up, studying control system theory, designing space-based relay mirror telescopes and studying atmospheric propagation for high power laser applications.

Our lab has discovered the unique cell biophysical phenomenon of convective intracellular macromolecule delivery using mechanically induced, transient cell volume exchange. Ultrafast microfluidic cell compressions are used to cause brief, deformation\u0026shy;induced cell volume loss followed by volume recovery through uptake of surrounding fluid. Macromolecules suspended in the surrounding fluid enter the cell on convective fluid currents. We harness this cell volume exchange behavior for high-throughput, convective intracellular delivery of large macromolecules, including plasmids (\u0026gt;10 kb) and particles (\u0026gt;30 nm), while maintaining high cell viability (\u0026gt;95%).

One conventional method for studying the health effects of aerosol particles is to collect particulate matter (PM) from the atmosphere, resuspend the PM in cell culture media, add the PM\/media to cell cultures, and assess single cell oxidative stress. However, this method does not resemble the in vivo conditions of alveolar macrophages. Alveolar macrophages are found in the alveoli of the lungs where the oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange between blood and air takes place and are a key cell type that is affected by PM. In this project, we aim to create a microfluidic air-liquid interface environment that mimics how alveolar macrophages are exposed to PM in order to study effects of PM at a single-cell level. Utilizing a microfluidic platform provides uniform microenvironment and enables high-throughput and high content single-cell analysis for hundreds of cells. We adapted a previously developed microfluidic single-cell analysis technology and developed a method for exposing cells to an air-liquid interface. We then characterized cells by microscopy and LIVE\/DEAD staining to assess if cells remain viable during air exposure. Following this validation of the air-liquid interface platform, we will use it to study the single cell responses of intracellular reactive oxygen species in exposure to aerosol particles.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPlease RSVP at: \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/forms.gle\/Dy3ND2XpFRqL5DmbA\u0022 rel=\u0022noopener noreferrer\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003E https:\/\/forms.gle\/Dy3ND2XpFRqL5DmbA\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBlueJeans session: \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/bluejeans.com\/947188326\u0022 rel=\u0022noopener noreferrer\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/bluejeans.com\/947188326\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"This seminars-plus-lunch program aims to catalyze scientific and cultural exchange between Georgia Tech students and 12 visiting undergrads from Japan.

We evaluate cell stiffness as a biomarker for isolating of cancer cells and subtypes of cells. In this case, the heterogeneity of cancer cells can be reduced through rapid label-free isolation and sorting to improve our understanding of invasive or drug-resistant subpopulations. Microfluidic channels are designed that reposition flowing cells in proportion to important biomechanical properties of stiffness, size, and adhesion. The repositioned cells are then collected at the outlets. We demonstrate three examples of how this sorting process can be used to collect invasive ovarian cancer, drug resistant leukemia, and purer stem cell cultures.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Todd Sulchek conducts fundamental and applied research in the field of biomechanics.

Materials and processing design methodologies effectively utilize the incomplete materials knowledgebase to link final product properties to initial microstructure. Microstructure representation has become a primary vehicle to reach this goal. Characterization techniques that can provide consistent microstructure representation include x-ray, microscopy (SEM, TEM), and tomography. Methodologies that can make the Inverse Materials Design a reality require novel mathematical and computational frameworks and methodologies in addition to experimentally-based knowledge creation to integrate computational-prediction and experimental-validation approaches. This talk will present current advances in multiscale computational materials frameworks based on Microstructure Sensitive Design and statistical homogenization techniques. Microstructure representation and digitization using spectral techniques are at the heart of such methodologies. Application of the present methodologies in thermo-mechanical processing of advanced magnesium alloys, the effect of machining in Al and Titanium alloys and processing of textured silicon solar cells and solid Oxide Fuel Cells are discussed with respect to inverse methodologies.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Hamid Garmestani is a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Georgia Tech and is a Fellow of ASM International and ASME.

Observing that many of these solutions are multiscale hierarchical structures comprised of nature\u0026rsquo;s building block, the cell, a new class of stimuli-responsive materials is proposed based on cellular capabilities.\u0026nbsp; While fully replicating cellular functionality is well beyond the scope of any laboratory, we examine this concept through the creation of synthetic cellular membranes in complex arrangements, combining emulsions, interfacial chemistry, and digital microfluidics.\u0026nbsp; This envisioned material platform has been successfully applied towards the creation of biological sensors, actuators and energy harvesters, but there is ample room for improvement in the concept.\u0026nbsp; This presentation focuses on better understanding the underlying mechanics of the membrane networks in order to improve their stability, durability, and reliability in non-laboratory environments, promoting their adoption as novel engineering materials.\u0026nbsp;
