演講公告 - Tools for Biology - 鄭兆珉博士 (9/19 Sat 4:00 pm @ Dudley House Common Room)

[kmchung]

大家好, 這週末是HIT這學期的第一場演講.
和上學期一樣, 我們將於這週六(9/19)下午4點在Dudley house 二樓的 Common Room 聚會.
歡迎大家來參加, 交流在哈佛的研究及生活經驗.

這週我們邀請鄭兆珉博士來分享他的研究.
鄭兆珉博士是Harvard Chemistry and Chemical Biology的博士後研究員,
在Whitesides Research Group進行他的研究工作,
他將會深入淺出的為我們介紹他的研究主題: "Tools for Biology"

我們仍在徵求這學期的演講者, 如果你有意願在HIT分享自己的研究或旅行經驗, 請與我們聯絡,謝謝!

演講摘要如下:

The link between mechanics and biochemistry has been implicated in a
myriad of scientific and medical problems, from orthopedics and
cardiovascular medicine, to cell motility and division, to signal
transduction and gene expression. Most of these studies have been
focused on organ-level issues, yet cellular and molecular research has
become essential over the last decade in this field thanks to the
revolutionary developments in microelectronics, genetics,
biotechnology, and information technology. Herein, I will present some
of our previous works with micro- and nano-technology development and
how they are being used to probe scientific questions related to
cellular and molecular structure. In addition, I will also introduce
some projects that we are working on in the Whitesides group, which
are developing paper diagnostics systems for developing countries.
