USC Stem Cell Seminar: Raymond Stevens, USC
Tue, Feb 09, 2016 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Raymond Stevens, Provost Professor of Biological Sciences and Chemistry and Director of The Bridge@USC
Talk Title: Structure and drug discovery of the G-protein coupled receptor superfamily
Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series
Abstract: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute one of the largest protein families in the human genome and play essential roles in normal cell signaling processes. We have determined structures of more than 20 different GPCRs and made progress in understanding their structure and function. The use of the technology platform for drug discovery is now being established through an industry-academia open source GPCR Consortium, and the companies Receptos and RuiYi.

CS Colloquium: Joseph Bonneau (Stanford) - Cryptographic transparency
Tue, Feb 09, 2016 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Joseph Bonneau, Stanford
Talk Title: Cryptographic transparency
Series: CS Colloquium
Abstract: This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Computer Science Research Colloquium
Traditionally, cryptography aims to eliminate trusted authorities and reduce security to computational assumptions: the system is secure as long as attackers can't guess a random key or solve a hard mathematical problem. This talk will discuss an alternate approach: retain centralized authorities but use cryptography to provide transparency that they are behaving correctly. I'll present two examples: ensuring a public key server is serving keys consistently and ensuring a Bitcoin exchange controls enough funds to be solvent. Reasoning about the security of these systems require a more holistic approach, modeling user actions and economic incentives.
Biography: Joseph Bonneau is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Stanford University and a Technology Fellow at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. His research focuses on cryptography and security protocols, particularly how they interact with human and organizational behavior and economic incentives. Recently he has focused on Bitcoin and related cryptocurrencies and secure messaging tools. He is also known for his work on passwords and web authentication. He received a PhD from the University of Cambridge under the supervision of Ross Anderson and an BS/MS from Stanford under the supervision of Dan Boneh. Last year he was as a Postdoctoral Fellow at CITP, Princeton and he has previously worked at Google, Yahoo, and Cryptography Research Inc.
