Seminar in Biomedical Engineering
Mon, Oct 15, 2012 @ 12:30 PM - 01:50 PM
Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Paul Macklin, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Research Medicine and Co-Director of Consortium for Integrative Computational Oncology (CICO), USC Keck School of Medicine, Center for Applied Molecular Medicince
Talk Title: The Emerging Role of Patient-Calibrated Computational Modeling in Cancer Research: Progress, Challenges, and Opportunities
Abstract: Clinical oncology practice can generate a wide variety of data for patients, spanning molecular profiling, pathology, and radiology, which tend to be used in isolation when planning patient care. There is currently no technique to quantitatively combine these diverse data sources, along with novel in vitro measurements, to improve surgical and therapeutic planning. Similarly, while cancer research generates a staggering wealth of data spanning many scales, these data are generally not integrated into comprehensive models. We are likely missing emergent system-level cancer phenomena and the novel therapeutic targets they represent. In this talk, we will discuss efforts by my lab, the USC Physical Sciences Oncology Center, and the Consortium for Integrative Computational Oncology to solve these issues. With a focus on patient pathology-calibrated breast cancer modeling and multidisciplinary lymphoma modeling, we will discuss the role for computational modeling in cancer research, encouraging results in quantitatively predicting clinical progression, the implications for making and quantitatively testing biological hypotheses, and the role of computational modeling in facilitating a deeper understanding of biology, pathology, and radiology.

The University Club at King Stoops Hall will offer a prix-fixe dinner prior to this event. For information and to make reservations, click here: http://bit.ly/VVprixfixe
No topic will be off limits when distinguished authors and journalists Frank Rich and Fran Lebowitz come together for a rare and stimulating conversation exploring our pre-election state of the union. Hear their thoughts on everything from the economy to gay marriage to foreign policy in what promises to be a smart, lively and entertaining look at the 2012 presidential election.
About Lebowitz and Rich:
Purveyor of urban cool, witty chronicler of the âme decadeâ and the cultural satirist whom many call the heir to Dorothy Parker, Fran Lebowitz remains one of the foremost advocates of the extreme statement. She offers insights on timely issues such as gender, race, gay rights and the media as well as her own pet peeves, including celebrity culture, tourists and strollers. Lebowitzâs first two classic books of essays, Metropolitan Life and Social Studies, have been collected in the Fran Lebowitz Reader. Lebowitz is forthright, irascible and unapologetically opinionated. Lebowitz is also the subject of Public Speaking, an HBO documentary film directed by Martin Scorsese. (Lebowitz on Facebook)
Frank Rich joined New York magazine in 2011 as writer-at-large, writing monthly on politics and culture, and editing a special monthly section anchored by his essay. He is also a commentator on nymag.com, engaging in regular dialogues on the news of the week. Rich joined the magazine following a distinguished career at the New York Times, where his Sunday Op-Ed column helped inaugurate the expanded opinion pages that the paper introduced in 2005. Among other honors, Rich received the George Polk Award for Commentary and the Goldsmith Career Award for Excellence in Journalism from Harvard University. His best-selling books include The Greatest Story Ever Sold: The Decline and Fall of Truth in Bushâs America and Ghost Light: A Memoir. Rich is also a creative consultant at HBO and an executive producer of two HBO projects: Veep, a new satirical comedy about Washington starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and a forthcoming documentary about Stephen Sondheim. (Rich at New York magazine and the New York Times)
Co-sponsored by the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and the Interfraternity Council.
