Fat Business: Exploring Lipid Metabolism in Alzheimer's Disease

  • 5th Floor Conference Room, Bridgeside Point 1 (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

As part of the Aging Institute's Research Seminar Series,  Xu Chen, PhD who is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego will present "Fat Business:  Exploring Lipid Metabolism in Alzheimer's Disease"

A central part of the Aging Institute's mission is to promote innovative research in aging and a rich environment for training a new generation of investigators in the aging field.  Beyond individualized mentorship, we want to provide support in career development, presentation skills, grant writing and opportunities for collaboration and networking with researchers within and outside the University.

The research seminars will be followed by a gathering to stimulate informal discussions, socialization and networking.  All postdocs are highly encouraged to attend this event to allow informal interaction with faculty and familiarize postdocs with the non-scientific skills required to pursue and succeed in an academic career.

ETC Playtest Day

Every academic semester, the Entertainment Technology Center holds a Playtest Day when graduate student teams make their project work available for playtesting by guests. The term playtest indicates the use of an experience or game by a guest to see whether it is performing as expected. Guests have in the past tested from three to six projects over the course of two hours, along with an optional tour of the ETC. Some projects have experiences requiring two or more guests at once, while others are meant to be used alone.

“Upgrading the Bioanalytical Toolbox with High Sensitivity Microfluidics “

“Upgrading the Bioanalytical Toolbox with High Sensitivity Microfluidics “

Microfluidic analyses offer numerous benefits compared to traditional bioanalytical techniques. These miniaturized systems afford faster analysis times, require less sample volume, and can integrate sample preparation and analysis into a single platform. Our laboratory has harnessed these benefits to develop high sensitivity gel electrophoresis and digital PCR methods to measure diverse biological analytes including proteins, nucleic acids, and cells. Our electrophoresis project utilizes thermally responsive polymers as a gel matrix. Temperature is adjusted to tune analytical performance and achieve preconcentration and separation of biomolecules and cells. Our digital PCR project integrates detection of proteins and nucleic acids. Target analytes are measured from individual biocomplexes with single-molecule sensitivity. The innovative analytical strategies developed in our laboratory enhance measurement capabilities to facilitate biological research.
