Uncovering Novel Anthelmintic Candidates within a C. elegans Model of Rhodoquinone-dependent Metabolism
Title: Engineered Microbes for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Disease
Advances in synthetic biology have given rise to opportunities to
use bacteria to sense and respond to human disease. In this
seminar I will highlight two projects in my laboratory that use
different platforms to sense and/or deliver therapeutics for the
amelioration of colitis and automimmune diseases. I will share
insights into how each platform performs and detail some of the
unexpected findings that have emerged from delivering
therapeutics to the gut via engineered microbes.
Title: An exaptation to the rule: co-opting transposon colonizers

Title: The Roles of Chromatin Remodeling Factor Arid1a in Gastric Tumorigenesis
Title: Mechanistic underpinnings of cancer cell plasticity
Cellular plasticity (the ability to alter fate) promotes cancer metastasis
and therapy resistance. In this lecture I will discuss how certain
mutations and microenvironmental stresses induce plasticity and will
describe how epigenomic and translational mechanisms collaborate to
mediate this process
