SUMMARY:Lectures at the Leading Edge (ChemEng)
DESCRIPTION:Engineering Human Organoids\, Organs\, and Societies\, with Kelly Stevens\, from the University of Washington. \nThe lecture will take place on Wednesday\, October 5 from 12-1PM (Eastern Time) on Zoom and will be recorded. \nChemE community\, the talk link and passcode will be sent through email closer to the date. \nExternal members are required to register at tinyurl.com/LLE5oct22 to receive the Zoom details. External registration closes at 9am on Monday\, October 3. \nShould you have any questions\, please email Jennifer Hsu at jennifer.hsu@utoronto.ca.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABSTRACT \nAlthough much progress has been made in building engineered human tissues and organs over the past several decades\, replicating complex tissues remains an enormous challenge. To overcome this challenge\, our field first needs to create better three-dimensional spatial maps\, or “blueprints” of human tissues and organs. We also need to then understand how these spatial blueprints encode positional processes in tissues. During the lecture\, I will describe some of our work to develop multimodal “google maps” of human organs\, as well as both biological and technological means to build these organs. Finally\, I will speak to how we might together better built a more impactful profession by leveraging the power of all human intellect.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBIO\n\nDr. Kelly Stevens is an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering\, and Laboratory Medicine & Pathology at the University of Washington. Dr. Stevens’ research team focuses on human organ design. Her team is developing molecular blueprints of human organs\, as well as new methods to build engineered organs\, as through 3D printing and synthetic morphogenesis. Dr. Stevens also works to disseminate the message that to develop advances that equitably improve the lives of all people\, our profession needs to include all people. Dr. Stevens has received numerous honors and awards as a result of her work\, including Elected Co-Chair of the National Academies of Science\, Engineering\, and Medicine New Voices Cohort\, AIMBE Fellow\, Allen Distinguished Investigator Award\, NIH New Innovator Award\, BMES CMBE Rising Star Award\, John Tietze Stem Cell Scientist Award\, Keck Foundation Award\, and Gree Scholar Award.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLectures at the Leading Edge (LLE) is an annual lecture series hosted by the Department of Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry at the University of Toronto. LLE engages world-class researchers and thought leaders in Canada and around the world to spark conversations on the latest innovations in existing and emerging areas relevant to chemical engineering\, applied chemistry and the engineering profession. This year’s theme is “Envisioning the Future of Chemical Engineering.”

SUMMARY:LLE ChemEng Presents: Understanding Molecular Crystals from First Principles
DESCRIPTION:Understanding Molecular Crystals from First Principles with Leeor Kronik from the Weizmann Institute of Science.The lecture will take place on Wednesday\, October 19 from 12-1PM (Eastern Time) on Zoom and will be recorded.ChemE community\, the talk link and passcode will be sent through email.External members are required to register at https://tinyurl.com/LLE19oct22 to receive the Zoom details. External registration closes at 9am on Monday\, October 17.Should you have any questions\, please email Jennifer Hsu at jennifer.hsu@utoronto.ca. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABSTRACT \nMolecular crystals are crystalline solids composed of molecules bound together by relatively weak intermolecular interactions\, typically consisting of van der Waals interactions and/or hydrogen bonds. These crystals play an important role in many areas of science and engineering\, ranging from biology and medicine to electronics and photovoltaics. Therefore\, much effort has been dedicated to understanding their structure and properties.Molecular crystals often feature significant collective effects\, i.e.\, phenomena that the individual units comprising the crystal do not exhibit\, but arise through their interaction. Such effects lie beyond the reach of textbook explanations. They therefore require a first principles approach\, which relies on nothing but the constituent atomic species and the laws of quantum mechanics.In this talk\, I will demonstrate how first principles calculations are used to explain and even predict collective effects in molecular crystals. Specifically\, I will focus on: (1) Unusual structure-function relations in biogenic molecular crystals; (2) Reactivity and stability trends in phthalocyanines (Pc) and subPc molecular crystals; (3) Surprising mechanical properties of amino-acid based bio-inspired molecular crystals; (4) Unexpected magnetic and spintronic behavior in metal-organic crystals. Throughout\, I will emphasize insights gained from a successful dialogue between theory and experiment\, as well as remaining theoretical challenges. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBIO \nLeeor Kronik holds the Katzman Professorial Chair and directs the Beck Center for Advanced and Intelligent Materials at the Weizmann Institute of Science\, Israel. He obtained his Ph.D. at Tel Aviv University and was a Rothschild and Fulbright post-doctoral fellow at the University of Minnesota. His research interests are in developing density functional theory\, with a current emphasis on advanced functionals for electron and optical spectroscopy; And in using density functional theory to understand and predict materials properties\, with a current emphasis on organic and hybrid organic–inorganic solids and structures. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society\, and has recently received the Excellence in Research Award of the Israel Vacuum Society (2018)\, the Kimmel Award for Innovative Investigation (2021)\, and the Outstanding Scientist Award of the Israel Chemical Society (2021).

SUMMARY:CARTE Presents: Active Learning for Optimizing RNA Based Vaccines and Therapeutics 
DESCRIPTION:Active Learning for Optimizing RNA Based Vaccines and Therapeutics\nCARTE Industry Speaker Seminar Series welcome Michael Bailey\, Computational Scientist at Sanofi Data and AI Center of Excellence in Toronto\, for the first in-person seminar of 2022-23 academic year. \nTopic: Active Learning for Optimizing RNA Based Vaccines and Therapeutics \nDate and Time: Friday October 28\, 2022 (12:00 – 1:00 PM EST) \nRegistration: To register\, please see here. Capacity is limited. Please register early to secure your spot. \nAbstract: RNA vaccines saved the world from COVID. But vaccines are just one of several potential uses for this breakthrough technology. As the world leading vaccine manufacturer and one of the largest pharma companies\, Sanofi has recently launched its RNA Center of Excellence to lead the way in the development and use of RNAs for vaccines and therapeutics. While promising\, the use of mRNA raises several new computational challenges. These involve issues related to representation and search in the exponential space of mRNA molecules\, the design and optimization of their lipid vehicles and the ability to predict human response from non-human models. I will discuss these challenges and will also present methods we developed to address these issues. Our methods use deep language models and graph neural networks for representation and couple them with active learning approaches for optimization. By developing an experimental-computational strategy we were able to obtain more accurate RNA and lipid combinations while still reducing the time and cost to optimize vaccines for new variants. \nSpeaker Bio: Michael Bailey is a Computational Scientist at Sanofi. With a background in Mathematics (doing a Ph.D. at the University of Toronto)\, he transitioned into Machine Learning later in his career\, looking to work on real-world problems. In his current role at the new Sanofi Data and AI Center of Excellence in Toronto\, he works on Machine Learning problems to support the discovery of new therapies. \nLocation: Myhal Centre for Engineering Innovation & Entrepreneurship\, 55 St George St.\, Toronto\, Ontario\, M5S 0C9\, Room 380Registration: To register\, please see here. Capacity is limited. Please register early to secure your spot.
