Molecular Biology and Biochemistry Seminar
Variability and Plasticity in Programmed Cell Death: What it Means for Infection and Immunotherapy
Jennifer Oyler-Yaniv, Harvard Medical School
Professor Oyler-Yaniv's research is dedicated to understanding the intricate dynamics of the immune response and its impact on healthy tissue. Utilizing synthetic biology, advanced imaging techniques, and systems biology, their current work focuses on the spatial organization of immune cells in tissue. They also study how this affects cells phenotypic and functional plasticity during infection and homeostasis.

Ecology and Evolutinary Bology Seminar
A micrometeorological perspective into wildland fire dynamics
Dr. Tirtha Banerjee, University of California, Irvine
Dr. Banerjee's research focuses on exchange of scalar (such as carbon dioxide, heat or trace gases), momentum, and energy between the atmosphere and the elements of the ecosystem such as land, vegetation and water and how it is controlled by turbulence or multi-scale organized eddy motions.

Audrey Chen Lew Receives Collaborative NSF IUSE: EDU Grant
Audrey Chen Lew, Assistant Professor of Teaching from the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior, has received an NSF collaborative grant for Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Directorate for STEM Education (IUSE: EDU).
This grant acknowledges her innovative development of Core Concept Teaching Tools (CCTTs). The CCTTs developed in this project will engage students in the cognitive processes required for transfer (recognition, recall, and application) and will address the principles of Scientific Teaching shown to improve student learning and create inclusive learning environments.
IUSE: EDU grants supports projects to improve STEM teaching and learning for undergraduate students, including studying what works and for whom and how to transform institutions to adopt successful practices in STEM education.
Please join us in acknowledging Professor Lew's accomplishment!

The NCI Transition Career Development Award (K22)
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) represents the continuation of an NCI program to facilitate the transition of investigators in mentored, non-independent cancer research positions to independent faculty cancer research positions. This goal is achieved by providing protected time through salary and research support for the initial 3 years of the first independent tenure-track faculty position, or its equivalent, beginning at the time when the candidate starts a tenure-track faculty position.
Earliest submission date: May 12, 2024

Multi-Scale Models Bridging Levels of Analysis in Aging and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and AD-Related Dementias (ADRD) (R01)
Invites applications proposing to establish multi-scale computational models recapitulating dynamic changes associated with aging and Alzheimers disease and Alzheimers disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD). This broad scope encompasses a variety of computational approachessuch as mathematical and computational modeling, image analysis, artificial intelligence, and machine learningto better understand aging processes and AD/ADRD across molecules, cells and networks, and cognition and behavior.
Deadline: June 13, 2024

Mechanistic Investigations into ADRD Multiple Etiology Dementias (R01)
Seeks investigations with a minimum of two relevant co-pathologies (e.g., tau, alpha-synuclein, TDP-43, TMEM106B, vascular), with optional risk factors and co-morbidities, to identify cellular and molecular mechanisms of how/why multi-proteinopathy interactions drive worsening neurodegenerative processes and phenotypic outcomes. Studies should examine co-pathology cellular and molecular interactions across brain regions and time in proximate cell population, across various intracellular dynamics and localization, and upstream and downstream from aggregated protein states to determine what events lead to worse phenotypic outcomes.
Deadline: October 04, 2024
