[QSB-grads] Fw: Monday, October 22/CCBM Open House

[Miriam Barlow]

Dear all,



On Monday, October 22, 2018, our NSF-CREST Center for Cellular and Biomolecular Machines<http://ccbm.ucmerced.edu/> will hold our CCBM External Advisory Board Meeting, held jointly with the CCBM Open House<http://ccbm.ucmerced.edu/outreach/ccbm-annual-open-house> all day on the UC Merced campus. The majority of the sessions will be open to all. The day will include a keynote presentation; CCBM research, education, outreach and evaluation talks; a poster session; lab tours and more. The event flyer is attached.



Professor Tal Danino (Biomedical Engineering) from Columbia University<https://bme.columbia.edu/faculty/tal-danino> will be our keynote speaker:

“Tal Danino’s research explores the emerging field of synthetic biology, focusing on building a quantitative understanding of dynamic gene circuits and designing biological behaviors that have technological applications. The interaction of microbes and tumors is a major target of his work, where DNA sequences and synthetic biology approaches are used to program bacteria as diagnostics and therapeutics in cancer. Danino also brings this science outside the laboratory as a TED Fellow and through science-art projects.”



12:45-1:45 pm, SSB 130

Keynote Lecture: Prof. Tal Danino: "Synthetic Biology: From Programming Bacteria Behaviors to Cancer Therapies"



2:00-2:30 pm, COB 116

Communicating Science Workshop: Prof. Tal Danino: "Programmable Bacteria: A New Medium for Science and Art"



Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.



Best regards,

Carrie Kouadio
