Talk Title: Applying computational systems biology to predict tumor angiogenesis signaling
Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series
Abstract: Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, enables tumors to obtain oxygen and nutrients from the surrounding microenvironment, promoting tumor growth. Both promoters and inhibitors of angiogenesis contribute to the response to anti-angiogenic cancer therapies; however, there is no quantitative framework that enables investigation of angiogenic factors together in tumor tissue. This presentation will discuss our ongoing work to construct predictive models of key factors involved in regulating tumor angiogenesis. The models provide a tool with which to study the response to anti-angiogenic therapies for a range of tumor types.

Talk Title: Biomaterial design for tissue regeneration and theranostic applications
Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series
Abstract: Nanomedicine and tissue engineering can harness biomaterial strategies to address limitations of clinical solutions. We will present how multivalent micelles are used as a tool for targeted detection and delivery of therapeutics to diseases, such as atherosclerosis and cancer. In addition, we will discuss how biodegradable, citric acid-based scaffolds can be combined with adult stem cells for complex regeneration of hierarchically-ordered tissues.

Talk Title: The life of breath: Stem cells of the adult lung
Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series
Abstract: The lung is composed of a tree-like system of branched tubes lined by a mucociliary epithelium. These carry air into the millions of thin-walled, highly vascularized peripheral gas-exchange sacs known as alveoli. The mesenchyme of the lung also contributes important stromal components, including airway and alveolar smooth muscle, fibroblasts/lipofibroblasts and an extensive vascular network. Cell turnover in both epithelial and mesodermal compartments of the mouse lung is normally very low, but in response to specific injuries and viral and bacterial infections there is extensive proliferation and differentiation of progenitor cells in different anatomical regions. A major goal has been to use lineage tracing to identify the specific subtypes of progenitor cells that help to maintain the lung at steady state and to promote repair. This has revealed unexpected plasticity in epithelial cell fate in response to changes in their local environment. 3D organoid assays have been established to screen for small molecules and pathways regulating progenitor cell behavior. Most recently Crispr/Cas9 technology has been used to identify the function of genes implicated in epithelial cell morphogenesis and differentiation.
