| Discovery with the computational microscope: from molecules to phenotypes |
Abstract: The essential conundrum of modern biology, namely the question of how life emerges from myriad molecules whose behavior is governed by physical laws alone, is embodied within a single cell—the quantum of life. The rise of scientific supercomputing has… Show more Speaker: Prof. Juan Perilla, University of Delaware |

| Dissertation Defense: Motion of Test Particles around a Black Hole in the Hubble Universe | Speaker: Vishal Jayswal |
|
| Bioprinting and 3D-Cell Assays Using Microgel Support Baths |
At relatively low polymer concentrations, granular hydrogel particles, commonly called microgels, undergo a jamming transition and behave like a soft elastic solid with reversible yielding. Over the past decade, these microgel packings have been utilized as… Show more Speaker: Prof. Christopher S. O'Bryan, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, MU |

| Computational insights into long-range charge transfer processes in redox proteins |
Long-range charge transfer processes - transmission of electrons and protons over long distances - play a fundamental role in cellular metabolism. In my research, I employ multi-scale computational methods to track charge transfer processes in complex… Show more Speaker: Dear Dr. Oleksii Zdorevskyi, University of Helsinki |
