Day at the Museum
Fri, Nov 18, 2011 @ 09:30 AM - 02:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Student Activity
Day at the museum is an event where SHPE invites 100 middle school students to the California Science Center. There we provide a tour of the Science Center and the students get a chance to engage in hands-on activities. We then host a lunch right outside of the Science Center for students and volunteers so we can have a more personal environment to answer any questions about college, engineering, math or science. We culminate our event by giving the students a tour of the USC campus and answering any remaining questions.
Volunteer to get a chance to explore the Science Center while making a difference in the community! Free lunch for volunteers!
If you are interested in volunteering please follow the link and fill out the form: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dHh6OU9Td21YN0lUNml0ZFR1cmYyOFE6MA

USC Physical Sciences in Oncology Monthly Seminar Series
Fri, Nov 18, 2011 @ 11:45 AM - 01:00 PM
Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Jorge Nieva, Clinical Hematologist and Oncologist, Department of Oncology, Billings Clinic
Talk Title: Cancer Metastasis and the Fluid Biopsy
Abstract: Prognostic serum markers in cancer therapy have existed for decades primarily as protein based tumor markers. While providing information on prognosis they have failed to inform treating physicians on the evolution of cancer. The advent of technology that permits the re-capture and analysis of tumor cells allows the study of cancer cell phenotypic and genotypic changes over the natural history of the disease. We have developed a platform for the capture and analysis of epithelial cancer cells from the circulation that provides a significant advance over existing technological platforms. This seminar will review the history of protein based cancer biomarkers, describe the existing and future technology platforms for analysis of epithelial cells in circulation and describe the future uses of this technology both in drug development and clinical cancer care.
Biography: USC was selected to establish a $16 million cancer research center as part of a new strategy against the disease by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and its National Cancer Institute. The new center is one of 12 in the nation to receive the designation. During the five-year initiative, the Physical Sciences-Oncology Centers will take new, nontraditional approaches to cancer research by studying the physical laws and principles of cancer; evolution and the evolutionary theory of cancer; information coding, decoding, transfer and translation in cancer; and ways to de-convolute cancerâs complexity. As part of the outreach component of this grant, the Center for Applied Molecular Medicine is hosting a monthly seminar series.
Host: Center for Applied Molecular Medicine
