BMBDG Seminars: PhD Exit Seminars – Nicolas Coutin and John Young
“Method Development for High Throughput Biology,” by Nicolas Coutin, doctoral candidate, Corey Nislow Lab, UBC Abstract: Living things are made from thousands of individual, interacting pieces. To understand these systems, we will need to study many or all the pieces at once. To study biology this way, we will need tools that consider the whole […]
BMBDG Seminar – Steven Rutherford – Cancelled
Cancelled: “New modalities for interfering with outer membrane biogenesis in Gram-negative bacteria,” by Steven Rutherford, Senior Scientist, Infectious Diseases, Genentech. Multi-drug resistant bacteria are a global health threat and new strategies are needed to combat them. However, the discovery of novel antibiotics to treat infections by Gram-negative bacteria has been thwarted by the outer membrane, […]
BMBDG Seminars – Poul Sorensen
“Tumor cells highjack diverse cellular processes to maintain redox balance”, by Poul Sorensen, Professor, Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, UBC, Distinguished Scientist, BC Cancer Research Centre Johal Chair in Childhood Cancer Research, UBC. In aggressive sarcomas such as Ewing sarcoma (EwS) and osteosarcoma (OS), the single-most powerful predictor of poor outcome is metastatic disease, […]
Seminar Series – Dr. Monica C. Pillon
“Cryo-EM reveals active site coordination within a multienzyme pre-rRNA processing complex,” by Dr. Monica C. Pillon, Signal Transduction Laboratory, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, NIH Ribosome assembly is a complex process reliant on the coordination of trans-acting enzymes to produce functional ribosomal subunits and secure the translational capacity of the cell. Las1 is a […]
