SUMMARY:Presentation:Contributions to nonparametric quantile analysis and quantile-based mediation analysis\, with applications to lifecourse analysis in human biology
DESCRIPTION:This thesis develops and assesses new ways to study the conditional quantiles of a population using a sample of data that represents the population.  All methods presented here build on a recently-proposed non-parametric approach to quantile regression that is analogous to local linear regression in the least-squares setting.  A major challenge is that the raw local quantile estimates are cumbersome to interpret and gain insight from directly.  Aiming to overcome this challenge\, there are four main contributions herein.  First\, we demonstrate how a low-rank additive regression analysis can produce insight into a collection of local nonparametric quantile estimates.  The low rank structure regularizes the noisy quantile estimates and facilitates interpretation of the findings.  Second\, we show how a multivariate dimension reduction approach provides a different type of insight into a collection of estimated conditional quantile functions.  The third contribution of the thesis leverages the combination of nonparametric quantile estimation and low-rank regression in the context of mediation analysis.  We show that this produces a novel quantile-based approach to mediation analysis that expresses direct and indirect effects in a concise and interpretable way.  The final methodological contribution of the thesis is a framework for moment-based estimation of conditional covariance functions for stochastic processes.  Throughout the thesis\, we motivate our work through analyses looking at the proximal and distal factors predicting human blood pressure.

SUMMARY:Presentation:A Multicellular\, Biomaterial-based Platform for the Engineering of Vascularized Bone
DESCRIPTION:Cell-based tissue engineering offers the potential to greatly improve the treatment of large and complex bone defects by addressing the main shortcomings associated with current bone grafting procedures. A main challenge is the ischemic environment that can result from traumatic bone injury\, resulting in the death of transplanted cells and tissue constructs. Achieving an adequate vascular supply is a critical barrier preventing the translational success of cell-based regeneration approaches. Therefore\, a variety of strategies have been developed to prevascularize engineered tissue constructs prior to transplantation. Adult mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) and endothelial cells (EC) are key players in native orthopaedic tissue regeneration and vascularization\, and represent promising cell types for tissue engineering strategies to create vascularized bone. However\, to effectively harness the regenerative potential of MSC\, the appropriate phenotype must be achieved before implantation. A main challenge in engineering vascularized bone tissue is creating an appropriate culture environment to support multiple cell phenotypes. Therefore\, this work focuses on designing a cell-based\, biomaterial-enabled strategy that provides spatiotemporal control of key microenvironmental cues to support the co-development of osseous and vascular tissues\, with the end goal of generating vascularized\, bone-forming constructs.\n\nFirst\, this thesis explores how temporal control of the culture environment can be used to maintain preformed vessels and subsequent osteogenic development in engineered tissue constructs. To mimic the sequential process of native bone development\, in which vascularization precedes tissue ossification\, we generated cell-laden hydrogel constructs cultured in vasculogenic growth medium to induce vessel development\, and subsequently supplemented the medium with osteoinductive components to promote osteogenic differentiation. Our results revealed conflicting effects of the two culture environments\, in which osteoinductive factors compromised cellular viability and MSC pericyte-like function\, leading to ~93% regression of preformed vessels. Further\, vasculogenic culture conditions inhibited MSC-mediated matrix mineralization as evidenced by impaired calcium deposition.\n\nNext\, this thesis describes the development and characterization of a modular biomaterial approach that provides control of discrete environmental properties designed to promote vasculogenic and osteogenic tissue development. Separate populations of cell-laden microtissues were fabricated and independently cultured under specific differentiation conditions to support either osteogenic or pericyte-like lineage commitment of MSC. This approach enabled the formation of primitive osteogenic microtissues exhibiting mineralization of the extracellular matrix\, and vascular microtissues with demonstrated EC sprouting potential. The combination of microtissues led to the generation of a multiphase construct that supported extensive vessel development. While osteogenic activity was maintained without exogenous osteoinductive factors\, the vasculogenic culture environment was not conducive for sustained mineralization.\n\nLastly\, this thesis describes a novel approach incorporating the modular biomaterial platform with a biomimetic induction process emulating the native endochondral ossification (EO) pathway to better couple vascular and osteogenic tissue development. Chondrogenically-primed MSC were matured to hypertrophy to form hypertrophic pellets resembling EO\, as evidenced by MMP-mediated remodeling and mineralization of the formed cartilaginous matrix. Hypertrophic induction of MSC was associated with secretion of distinct angiogenic factors which stimulated EC vasculogenesis. When combined with vasculogenic microtissues\, hypertrophic pellets supported robust vessel development and cell-mediated mineralization without exogenous vasculogenic medium or osteoinductive components.\n\nOverall\, this dissertation presents an attractive strategy for generating vascularized bone-like tissue. By integrating the modular biomaterial platform with an EO-based induction process\, we successfully leveraged physiologic cues of hypertrophic MSC to achieve concomitant vasculogenic and osteogenic development.\n\nDate: Monday\, May 9\, 2022\nTime: 11:00 AM\nLocation: 1130 LBME and Zoom (https://umich.zoom.us/j/96133803682 Passcode: bones)\nChair: Dr. Jan Stegemann

SUMMARY:Other:Dissertation Defense: Andrew McInnerney
DESCRIPTION:Linguistics PhD candidate Andrew McInnerney will defend his dissertation on Monday\, May 9\, at 11:30 am. The title of his dissertation is “The Argument/Adjunct Distinction and the Structure of Prepositional Phrases.” Doctoral committee members include Professor Acrisio Pires (Chair)\, Professor Ezra Keshet\, Dr. Lisa Levinson\, Professor Richard L. Lewis\, and Professor T. Daniel Seely\, Eastern Michigan University. All are invited to attend.\n\nABSTRACT\nThis dissertation examines the traditional evidence for the Argument/Adjunct Distinction (A/AD). I begin by drawing a distinction between the semantic sense of the A/AD and the syntactic sense of the A/AD. The semantic A/AD concerns lexical encoding of thematic information\; arguments are taken to be semantically encoded in the lexical representation of predicates\, while adjuncts are not. I argue instead that lexical encoding of thematic information is a property in its own right\; the standard evidence does motivate an understanding of the A/AD in these terms. The syntactic A/AD has to do with the external syntax of constituents. I consider nine canonical syntactic diagnostics for argumenthood (e.g. omissibility\, VP-anaphora\, islandhood\, etc.)\, using prepositional phrases in the verbal domain in English as a test case\, and I find that these diagnostics do not provide good evidence for the syntactic A/AD. Instead\, the properties identified by the canonical argumenthood diagnostics are independent of one another\; they should not be taken to as properties of a single larger distinction. \n	After carefully examining the evidence for the A/AD\, I consider the consequences of eliminating the distinction. I focus specifically on consequences for the syntax prepositional phrases\, including (i) the configuration of PPs in the verbal domain\, (ii) licensing of pronouns within PPs\, and (iii) pseudopassives (p-passives). The A/AD has been argued to play an important role in each of these domains\, and so if the distinction is to be eliminated\, it is important to explore how analyses in these domains are affected. On the structure of VP-internal PPs\, I explore the possibility that PPs could be attached as sisters to functional heads in the verbal domain\, potentially forming multiple n-ary-branching layers. On pronoun-licensing in PP\, I defend the hypothesis that PP is split into two layers\, and I argue that the lower of the two layers is a phase\; assuming that Condition B is sensitive to phase domains\, this enables an account of a range of relevant data. Finally\, on p-passives\, I consider the conditions under which p-passivization is blocked\, arguing that argumenthood is not a relevant factor.

SUMMARY:Careers / Jobs:Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program Info Session (STEM Focus)
DESCRIPTION:Are you an advanced degree student or recent alum who is interested in working in government but unsure where to start? If so\, we invite you to come learn about the Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program\, the Federal Government's premier leadership development program for advanced degree holders (Masters\, PhD\, JD). The PMF Program is looking foreligible students like you with backgrounds in STEM to apply for this unique opportunity to launch your career in government\, and we invite you tojoin us for a 1-hour info session on 5/9 hosted by the PMF Program Office.\n\nThis info session will provide an overview of the Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program\, general details about the upcoming application cycle (launching in the fall)\, and a chance to hear from PMF Alumni (with STEM backgrounds) about their experiences in the program. There will also be time for questions toward the end of the session. This session is open to graduate students (and recent grads) across all academic disciplines\, and will have a specific focus on what the PMF experience looks like for Fellows with backgrounds in STEM. Upon registering for this session\, you will receive an automated email from Zoom with details for accessing themeeting.\n\nThe PMF Program is a two-year fellowship at a Federal agency with full salary and benefits leading to a career in the Federal Government. Individuals who are in the final year of their advanced degree program or who have finished their advanced degree within the last two years are eligible to apply. The program works with over 100 Federal agencies (such as HHS\, NASA\, USDA\, the State Department\, USAID\, and many more) to place Fellows according to their interests and skills. By drawing graduate students from diverse social and cultural backgrounds\, the PMF Program provides a continuing source of trained individuals to meet the future challenges of public service and deliver for the American people. The mission of the PMF Program is to recruit and develop the next generation of Federal Government leaders from all segments of society. To learn more\, visit www.pmf.gov.\n\nIMPORTANT NOTE ON ELIGIBILITY: From the time of the application launch in fall 2022\, individuals who are in the final year of their advanced degree program or who have finished their advanced degree within thelast two years are eligible to apply. For the next PMF application\, thiswould likely mean individuals who have completed an advanced degree or expect to complete an advanced degree between 10/2020 to 8/31/2023. For additional information on eligibility as it relates to non-U.S. citizens/international students\, visit: https://www.pmf.gov/become-a-pmf/eligibility/citizenship/.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Against Risk-Aversion”- E-WIP/MMP Talk
DESCRIPTION:Title: \"Against Risk-Aversion”\nAbstract: It is widely thought that some degree of risk-aversion is rationally and ethically permissible. For example\, in a choice between saving one person for sure and taking a ¼ chance of saving five people... many believe that we can be permitted to favor the guaranteed rescue over the risky gamble—even though the gamble saves more expected lives. If you attend this talk\, you'll hear my best efforts to argue against this consensus. Specifically\, it will be argued that non-maximizing risk-aversion conflicts with a conjunction of two attractive principles. The first principle asserts that\, if you're comparing two options\, and one of them gives a particular person a greater chance of rescue and affects nothing else\, then you are required to favor that option. The second principle asserts that if you are required to choose X when the available options are X\, Y\, and some other alternatives... then you must still be required to choose X when the available options are only X and Y. Finally\, it will be discussed how this argument differs from existing arguments against risk-aversion\, which traditionally appeal to the fact that the risk-averse agent is likely to lose out in the long run. The argument we'll explore does not rely upon this observation and can be presented in the context of a single decision.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:RNA Innovation Seminar: \"Unexpected determinants of neuronal identity and properties: the curious cases of PTBP1\, PTBP2\, and neuronal splicing\"
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Seminar via Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_dltbxWdHQ5KrC3rTl4hqLQ\n\nTalk title: “Unexpected determinants of neuronal identity and properties: the curious cases of PTBP1\, PTBP2\, and neuronal splicing\"\n\nAbstract: Alternative splicing is the major contributor to transcriptome diversity\, but splicing is noisy and to what extend alternative splicing regulation is indispensable for biolgical processes has been controversial. Our studies have revealed the regulation and function of neural-specific splicing in shaping neuronal identity and estalishing  neurons’ two unique attributes: 1. Axonogenesis (Only neurons but no other cell types have one and single axon)\; 2. Neuronal longevity (Neurons are the most long-lived cell types). We show that obtaining these neuronal features is coordinated by RNA binding proteins PTBP1 and PTBP2\, while PTBP1 was suggested by others to be a reprogramming factor of neuronal fate. I will discuss the regulatory mechanism of neural specific splicing underlying neurogensis and maturation.\n\nReferences:\nZhang M\, Ergin V\, Lin L\, Stork C\, Chen L\, Zheng S.
