Speaker: In-Hyun Park, Yale School of Medicine
Talk Title: Reprogramming and its application in Rhett Syndrome
Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series
Abstract: Overexpression of four factors (Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, Myc, or Oct4, Sox2, Nanog, Lin28) reprograms somatic cells to become induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Reprogramming accompanies genetic and epigenetic changes. We will investigate the molecular mechanism of somatic cell reprogramming. iPSCs provide an incredible resource for cell-based therapy, in vitro disease model and screening drugs. We apply the iPSCs to investigate one of the most prevalent female mental retardation disorders called Rett syndrome.
Host: Justin Ichida

Viterbi School of Engineering, Engineering Writing Program Panel Discussion
Tue, Apr 26, 2016 @ 04:30 PM - 06:00 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Armand Tanguay, George Tolomiczenko, Helga Van Herle, Moderator: David Sawcer, University of Southern California, Viterbi School of Engineering and Keck School of Medicine of USC
Talk Title: Navigating the Multidisciplinary Research Environment
Abstract: Please join us April 26 for a Viterbi School of Engineering panel discussion that will highlight lessons learned about the conduct of collaborative research across engineering and fields including medicine, physics, and biology.
The conversation will focus on research initiation, organizational, and ongoing communication challenges to bridging key gaps in multidisciplinary knowledge, scientific terms and descriptive language, concepts and research approaches.
How can multidisciplinary researchers use these elements to create optimal partnerships and interactive environments that will move us towards new and productive areas of research?
What best practices exist to promote knowledge exchange and dissemination at both at the project level and among individual researchers?
How should we best educate students and postdoctoral fellows to approach problems that draw from different disciplines?
What institutional resources exist at USC to support multidisciplinary work?
