Ion Solubility, Diffusivity and Transport in Charged Polymer Membranes
Apr 23, 2018 10:45am | Event
Biodesign Institute, Auditorium
Benny Freeman, Ph.D., Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Texas Austin
Benny Freeman’s research program explores the relationship between polymer structure, processing and properties. More specifically, the effect that polymer structures have on the solubility, diffusivity and permeability of small molecules in polymers and polymer-based materials. These fundamental studies bear directly upon membranes for liquid, gas and vapor separations; controlled drug delivery...

Using Single Cell RNA Sequencing to Characterize Cell-type Specific Gene Expression in a Mouse Model of Multiple Myeloma Treated with the cIAP Antagonist LCL161
Apr 25, 2018 12:00pm | Event
Biodesign Institute, Auditorium
Nicholas Banovich, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Integrated Cancer Genomics Division at the Translational Genomics Research Institute
Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematological cancer, accounting for roughly 2 percent of all cancer deaths. Unfortunately, MM remains incurable and nearly all patients experience relapse. Recently, Nicholas Banovich and colleagues have identified a novel cIAP1 antagonist, LCL161, with remarkable anti-MM effects. The identified genes, and the pathways...
Ebola: An Example of Fake News, Trickery, Imperialism and Other Pitfalls Penetrating Science
Apr 26, 2018 12:00pm | Event
Biodesign Institute, Auditorium
Jens H. Kuhn, M.D., Ph.D., M.S., Lead Virologist, National Institute of Health, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Integrated Research Facility at Fort Detrick
“Fake news” is an emerging phrase used for inconvenient (or truly false) information spread by mass media outlets. However, the manipulation of information and the spread of “facts” not rooted in robust or even any data also is rampant among scientific experts. Using the example of Ebola, I will demonstrate...
