Become a fossil hunter and help discover how ecosystems have changed over time. Experience what it is like to be a paleontologist, finding and identifying new specimens. 

Participants will sort through rock matrix collected from Natural Trap Cave in Wyoming to recover fossil specimens that are approximately 35,000 years old. These specimens support research projects examining how the community of species living around Natural Trap Cave has changed since the extinction of the cheetahs, lions, dire wolves, mammoths, camels, horses, and other megafauna that once lived in North America. 

Drop in whenever it is convenient. No commitment is required. All are welcome, so bring your friends.

Location and Time: 6:00-7:30pm in Skiles 271

Join us for an inside look at the world of neurosurgical medical devices and the technology that supports modern surgery. NeuroTec’s sales leadership and representatives will bring the operating room experience directly to Georgia Tech, giving students the opportunity to learn and handle the tools used in real neurosurgical procedures.

Attendees will get hands-on exposure to implant samples, surgical instruments, retractors, and other neurosurgical equipment, while learning how these technologies are used in the operating room and how medical device companies work alongside surgeons and hospitals.

The event will feature Seth Ott, Vice President of Sales at NeuroTec, who has more than a decade of experience in medical device sales and leads a 13-person sales team across the Southeast. He will be joined by NeuroTec representatives Taylor Craig and Nick Casso, who collectively bring more than 25 years of medical device sales experience.

Whether you’re interested in medicine, neurosurgery, medical devices, healthcare innovation, entrepreneurship, or the business side of healthcare, this is an opportunity to step beyond the classroom and see what happens at the forefront of the intersection of medical innovation and entrepreneurship. 

Come see what really goes on behind the redline.

Abstract: This year, one of MINIWIZ's decentralized upcycling systems lands at Georgia Tech, live, running on waste generated right here. That's not a future vision or a distant case study, it's down the hall. For 21 years we've been finding ways to turn trash into products, work that today spans 18 countries. It taught us something we didn't expect starting out: the hard part was never turning waste into a product. It was turning waste into a product people actually want. Simple, well made, good looking, priced right, at the scale of real architectural or medical grade products. Nail the engineering and skip the design, and you get a demo nobody buys. Nail the design and skip the engineering, and you get a prototype that never reaches the people who need it. Solve both and something changes at a level bigger than any one product: waste stops being a liability and becomes a domestic resource, hiding in plain sight. Come see what that actually looks like, not the pitch version, the one running on this campus.

Bio: Arthur Huang is a structural engineer, architect, and circular economy innovator who serves as the CEO and Co-founder of MINIWIZ, a global leader in transforming post-consumer waste into retail interiors, architectural structures, and consumer goods. Educated at Harvard University (MArch II) and Cornell University (BArch), Huang has also shared his expertise through teaching positions in architecture at Cornell, NCTU, Tung Hai, and NCKU. For over a decade, he has focused on accelerating the shift to a closed-loop circular economy, earning his company prestigious accolades such as the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Technology Pioneer Award, the Financial Times' Earth Award, and the Wall Street Journal's Asian Innovation Award. A National Geographic Explorer since 2016, Huang was recognized as the runner-up for the 2019 WEF Circular Leadership Award, while MINIWIZ was concurrently named by the WEF as one of the top 11 companies leading the global transition to a circular economy.

About the Show: A haunting and darkly whimsical exploration of grief, guilt, and survival, ART IS USELESS WHEN YOU’RE BEING MAULED BY A BEAR follows one woman’s fantastical descent through memory, madness, and the stories we tell ourselves to endure loss. Along the way, she encounters creatures both real and imagined—some seemingly torn from a Grimms’ fairy tale—as she is forced toward an inescapable truth. Strange, unsettling, and unexpectedly powerful, this surreal journey asks what remains when art, reason, and reality begin to slip away. And yes, there is a bear.

Auditions will take place at DramaTech Theatre on Monday and Tuesday from 6-9 pm. You only need to one day of auditions. To read the script (which we highly recommend), click here.

Peptide hydrogels formed by self-assembly are increasingly used in medical applications ranging from drug delivery to wound care. The chemical composition and stereochemistry of the peptides, the mechanisms by which they assemble to form a given material, and the structures of the mesoscopic assemblies underlying material formation all influence the mechanical and biological properties of these materials. Dr. Schneider will explore these factors in molecular detail to develop materials for clinical applications, including antibacterial wound dressings, delivery of miRNA nanoparticles for mesothelioma treatment, and modulation of the immune system.

Bio:

Dr. Schneider received his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Texas A&M University with Jeffery Kelly and then went on to the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics where he was a George W. Raiziss Fellow with William DeGrado studying protein design. In 1999, he began his independent career at the University of Delaware as an assistant professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry and was promoted to associate and then full professor in 2009 with a secondary appointment in Materials Science and Engineering. He joined the NCI in 2010 as lab Chief of the newly established Chemical Biology Laboratory and was later appointed Deputy Director in 2015. He currently serves as the president of the American Peptide Society and Executive Editor of Biopolymers-Peptide Science.

This event is also a space to forge relationships between current students, GT alumni, and industry partners who value liberal arts talent. We hope to connect our amazing students with the many wonderful employer partners of the Georgia Tech and Atlanta communities.

The gastrointestinal (GI) tract houses diverse intestinal enzymes from the human host and gut microbiome that play critical roles in mucosal immunity, host-microbiome interactions, drug metabolism, and digestion. Dysregulated intestinal enzyme activities give rise to a broad range of GI pathologies and can therefore serve as functional biomarkers of disease. However, current strategies for enzyme activity measurements often rely on invasive endoscopy to biopsy intestinal tissue samples for activity measurements in the clinical lab. As an alternative to endscopy, we have developed a new Volatile-releasing Activity-based Probe (VAPR) platform that enables remote sensing of pathology-causing intestinal enzyme activities via breath testing. The platform comprises ingestible sugar-based probes that sense and produce breath signals for specific intestinal glycosidase activities. In this talk, Leslie Chan will discuss the design and application of the probes for inflammatory bowel disease and for detecting harmful drug-metabolizing enzyme activity from the gut microbiome.

Bio:

Leslie Chan’s lab focuses on the development of bioresponsive nanomaterials that are delivered in vivo to harness biochemical cues in diseased tissue as triggers for disease readouts or site-specific therapeutic activity. They are especially interested in developing these tools to study, detect, and treat microbe-driven disease states (e.g. infections, microbiome dysbiosis, inflammation). Their goal is to develop solutions that can be readily translated at the point of care, for at-home use, or deployed for infectious disease surveillance to promote public health. To achieve this, they integrate nanomaterial design, chemical biology, and medicine and leverage collaborations with clinicians, immunologists, microbiologists, and other engineers.

Engineering Cell-Free Biosensors for Membrane Protein Detection at the Point of Care

Membrane proteins regulate essential cellular processes and serve as valuable biomarkers for disease diagnosis, progression, and therapeutic response. However, quantitative measurement of membrane-associated biomarkers remains largely dependent on techniques such as flow cytometry, microscopy, and extraction-based protein analysis, limiting their use outside specialized laboratories. Point-of-care biosensors offer a promising alternative because they are programmable, inexpensive, and compatible with decentralized testing, yet existing platforms have primarily focused on soluble analytes and have not been adapted for membrane protein detection. The T7 RNA Polymerase-Linked ImmunoSensing Assay (TLISA) is a cell-free analyte sensing platform that converts target recognition into a transcriptionally amplified output, providing a promising foundation for addressing this unmet need. Thus, the work proposed for this thesis will focus on expanding TLISA into a quantitative platform for membrane protein detection to support point-of-care applications in low resource environments such as human space travel. To achieve this, I will first identify and address mechanistic limitations in the current assay design to improve signal fidelity, analytical sensitivity, and limit of detection. In parallel, I will develop a proof-of-concept system for membrane protein detection by displaying model proteins on the Escherichia coli cell surface and evaluating their detection and quantification using TLISA. The optimized platform will then be applied to the epidermal growth factor receptor, a disease-associated membrane biomarker, and evaluated in biologically complex matrices. Together, my work will establish the feasibility of TLISA-based membrane protein quantification and support the development of accessible point-of-care diagnostics for clinically relevant membrane proteins.

ABSTRACT
Using patients’ own T cells, engineered and redirected to target cancer, have now been established as a standard of care in certain blood cancers such as lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Dr. Maus will discuss novel designs of chimeric antigen receptors and modifications to enhance T cells and the main challenges and future prospects for the development and use of this powerful form of immunotherapy.

BIO
Marcela Maus grew up in New York, NY and attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology for her undergraduate degree in Biology and Literature. She then earned her MD, PhD from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine where she studied the biology of human T cell activation under the direction of her PhD mentor, Dr. Carl June. After completing her doctorate degrees, Marcela did a one-year postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Kathy High at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia studying patient immune responses to liver-directed AAV-mediate gene transfer as a treatment for hemophilia. She then completed her clinical training in internal medicine, hematology, and oncology as a resident at the University of Pennsylvania Health System and a fellow at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. While at Memorial Sloan Kettering, she worked in Michel Sadelain’s lab to engineer new genetically modified T cells to target the cancer-testis antigen NY-ESO-1 and received specialized training in Phase I developmental therapeutics. She was also awarded a K08 grant by the NIH to facilitate her transition to a faculty position.

Following her extensive training (11 years), Marcela returned to the University of Pennsylvania in 2012, where she was recruited by her former PhD mentor, to expand their research efforts in the development of CAR T cells for lymphoma, myeloma, and other cancers. While there, Marcela continued her efforts on preclinical development of CAR T cells and correlative studies of CAR T cell-related toxicities and resistance to therapies. They discovered and reported on the first cases of anaphylaxis to CAR T cells and off target cross-reactivity. She also led an entire arc of translational research, from preclinical testing to a first-in-human clinical trial of EGFRvIII CAR T cells for treatment of recurrent glioblastoma. Correlative data collected from this trial led to an understanding of CAR T resistant mechanisms that have led further refinement of these CAR T cells, which is one current area of focus in her current laboratory and has led to the development of another Phase I clinical trial for GBM patients.

Now, Dr. Maus is a Professor of Hematology and Oncology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, where she runs a laboratory focused on developing and improving CAR T cell therapy for cancer patients while also periodically attending for the bone marrow transplant service. Marcela is the Paula O-Keeffe Endowed Chair of the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center and the Director of the Cellular Immunotherapy Program. She has won numerous awards for her transformative research and is achieving her goal of using science to determine the best way to treat patients by harnessing the power of the immune system to solve intractable problems like cancer. She also enjoys training clinicians and scientists and watching her mentees succeed and become independent scientists and collaborators.
