  1. Population Density Modulates Antibiotic Efficacy, Treatment Bistability, and the Evolution of Resistance in Bacteria

    13 Dec 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Kevin Wood

    In this talk, I will discuss our recent work to address these questions by measuring real-time per capita growth of Enterococcus faecalis populations at fixed population densities using multiplexed computer-automated culture devices. We show that density-dependent growth inhibition is pervasive...

  3. Tissue-Level Communication Through Patterning Of Intercellular Ca2+ Wave Dynamics

    21 Nov 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Jeremiah J. Zartman

    Here we characterize periodic intercellular Ca2+ waves (ICWs) in a model organ system of epithelial growth and patterning—the Drosophila wing imaginal disc. We developed a novel regulated environment for micro-organs (REM-Chip) device that enable a broad range of genetic, chemical and...

  4. Decoding the Epigenetic Language of Life

    15 Nov 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Jian-Kang Zhu

    I will describe work in my lab that has shed light on how DNA methyltransferases and demethylases are guided to specific sequences, and how the antagonistic actions of the enzymes are coordinated to generate proper DNA methylation patterns. I will also describe some of our recent work on how DNA...

  5. Coarse Graining of Crystalline Cellulose

    29 Jul 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Kuo Tian, Mehdi Shishehbor, Pablo Daniel Zavattieri

    Bio-inspired Crystalline Nano-Cellulose coarse graining toolkit

  6. MidQBio 2016: 4th Midwest Quantitative Biology Symposium

    22 Oct 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Srividya Iyer-Biswas, Tamara L. Kinzer-Ursem, Andrew Mugler

    The MidQBio Symposium aims to bring together research groups from around the Midwest with a shared interest in quantitative biology, and to help build a community of these researchers. The symposium provides researchers opportunities to meet periodically to disseminate recent results; network...

  7. The Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Its role in metastasis? Can Theory Help Cancer Biology?

    19 Oct 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Herbert Levine

    In order to spread from the primary tumor to distant sites, cancer cells must undergo a coordinated change in their phenotypic properties referred to as the "epithelial-to-mesenchymal" transition.  We have studied the nonlinear genetic circuits that are responsible for this...

  8. ENBIOS-2D Lab

    18 Jul 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Aldi Hoxha, Paolo Scarbolo, Andrea Cossettini, Federico Pittino, Luca Selmi

    A tool to simulate Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistors in two dimensions

  9. Collective Sensing by Communicating Cells

    21 Sep 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Andrew Mugler

    In this talk I will describe recent theoretical and experimental results in which this question is explored in several contexts, including gradient detection by groups of epithelial cells. I will show how communication allows cells to perform qualitatively new behaviors that single cells cannot...

  10. Hydrogel based Biochemical Sensors

    01 Jul 2016 | | Contributor(s):: Piyush Dak, Muhammad A. Alam

    This is MATLAB code for a Hydrogel based biochemical sensor:  The sensor is composed of a hydrogel sandwiched between a rigid porous membrane and a deformable membrane.  The hydrogel is pendent with the ionizable groups (with density, Nf and acid dissociation constant, Ka) which are...
