USC Consortium for Integrative Computational Oncology Seminar
Mon, Oct 22, 2012 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Prof. James A. Glazer, Biocomplexity Institute and Physics, Indiana University
Talk Title: Applying multi-scale, multi-cell modeling of pathological neovascularization in the retina and solid tumors to suggest novel treatment strategies
Abstract: The construction, maintenance and disruption of tissues emerge from the interactions of cells with each other, the extracellular microenvironment that the cells create and their external boundary conditions. Our ability to make biomedically meaningful predictions at the organ or organism level is limited because of the difficulty of predicting the emergent properties of large ensembles of cells. A middle-out approach to model building starting from cell behaviors and combining subcellular molecular reaction kinetics models, the physical and mechanical behaviors of cells and the longer range effects of the extracellular environment, allows us to address such emergence. I will discuss CompuCell3D as a multi-scale, multi-cell modeling platform to study such emergent phenomena and to connect them to their physiological outcomes. I will illustrate two projects using CompuCell3D, the development and of blood vessels and its effect on the growth of a generic model solid tumor and Choroidal Neovascularization (CNV) in Age-Related Macular Degeneration (the most common cause of blindness among the elderly). The AMD simulations suggest novel drug targets for improved therapeutic outcomes. Time permitting, I will also briefly discuss our proof-of-concept simulations of somatic evolution in solid tumor.
Biography: Dr. Glazier received his B.A. in Physics and Mathematics from Harvard University and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Chicago. His research focuses on experimental and computational approaches to pattern formation in embryology. He has held faculty appointments at the University of Notre Dame and Indiana University, Bloomington, where he is founding director of the Biocomplexity Institute, Professor of Physics and Adjunct Professor of Informatics and Biology.
Host: Profs. Paul Newton and Paul Macklin

The New York Times Feminist Reading Group With Jen Kennedy and Liz Linden
Mon, Oct 22, 2012 @ 04:00 PM - 05:30 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
University Calendar
Admission is free.
Refreshments will be provided.
Since this project was first performed at Dispatch Bureau in New York in 2009, The New York Times Feminist Reading Group has met periodically to discuss current events and feminist issues raised by that dayâs issue of the New York Times. Participants are welcome regardless of whether they have read, skimmed or even just glanced at that dayâs paper. The discussion begins informally with news items or questions raised by participants, and ranges widely from investigations of specific articles or images, to editorial choices and ad placements, to the larger questions of the business of newspapers and contemporary media in general. The New York Times Feminist Reading Group is organized and facilitated by writer Jen Kennedy and artist Liz Linden, who have been collaborating on projects that investigate contemporary usages of the word feminism since 2008. Their projects include town-hall meetings, feminist book swaps, video and sound works and pilot press, their DIY feminist publishing house.
About the Artists:
Jen Kennedy is a Montreal-based writer. Her work has been published in a number of journals, including C Magazine, Image [&] Narrative, FUSE and the Journal of Critical Studies in Business & Society. Kennedy attended the Whitney Independent Study Program from 2008 to 2009, and is currently a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada doctoral fellow at Binghamton University. She received her BA and MA in visual arts from the University of Western Ontario.
Liz Linden also attended the Whitney Independent Study Program from 2008 to 2009. She received her BA from Yale University and studied photography at the Ãcole nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, France. Linden has been awarded several grants and international residencies, including a DaNY grant from the Danish Arts Council and residencies at Capacete in Rio de Janeiro, Gertrude Contemporary in Melbourne and unitednationsplaza in Berlin. (Official website)
Kennedy and Linden have been collaborating since 2009 on a multidisciplinary project that explores the semantics of contemporary feminism. They have received grants from the Department of Cultural Affairs/Brooklyn Arts Council and the Puffin Foundation. Their work has been shown at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the New Museum and the Brooklyn Museumâs Sackler Center for Feminist Art, as well as at numerous other venues.
Organized by the USC Roski School of Fine Arts.
