Advancing Agentic, Data-Driven, and Trustworthy Hypothesis Generation in Biomedical Research Yang Lu, PhDAssistant ProfessorCheriton School of Computer ScienceUniversity of Waterloo Abstract:Rapid developments in high-throughput sequencing have enabled biologists to collect large volumes of multi-omics data with unprecedented resolution. However, interpretation of such an increasing amount of heterogeneous biological data becomes highly nontrivial. In my talk,...

Integrating Bioengineering and Biomarker Discovery to Advance Personalized Regenerative Medicine Genevieve Romanowicz, PhDK99 Fellow and post-doctoral scholarKnight Campus for Accelerating Scientific ImpactUniversity of Oregon Abstract:Dr. Romanowicz's research bridges tissue engineering and clinical care by addressing critical questions in bone regeneration and fracture risk prediction. Her work focuses on developing advanced bone-like organoids and preclinical models...

Harnessing the Power of Immunometabolism to Engineer the Future of Medicine Chima V. Maduka, DVM, PhDAHA Postdoctoral FellowBurdick Biomaterials and Biofabrication LaboratoryUniversity of Colorado Abstract:The metabolic underpinnings of immune cells in various inflamed tissues, such as the implant microenvironment or the diseased heart, are poorly understood. For instance, polylactide (PLA) is the most widely used...
