SUMMARY:Community Service:Be Well\, Stay Safe: Medication & Sharps Disposal
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a medication take-back event hosted by the College of Pharmacy! Community members will be able to dispose of unused or expired medications and used sharps (needles\, syringes\, and lancets). Proper disposal helps protect the environment\, reduce accidental poisoning\, and prevent misuse of prescription drugs.\n\nWhen: 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm\n\nWhere: Outside Gate 1\n\nTHANK YOU to our partners for helping to make medication take-back happen: DPSS and Environmental Health & Safety.\n\n  - - -\n\n150 Acts of Service\nIn celebration of the University of Michigan College of Pharmacy’s 150th Anniversary\, 150 Acts of Service is a Community Health and Engagement (CHE) campaign dedicated to strengthening our communities through meaningful\, hands-on service.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Mechanobiology and Synthetic Cells: Understanding and Engineering Adaptive Cellular Systems\n\nAbstract:\nBiological cells and synthetic cell-like systems both rely on dynamic membranes\, molecular organization\, and mechanical interactions with their surroundings to sense\, respond\, and adapt. In this seminar\, I will discuss our lab’s efforts to understand and engineer these behaviors across living and synthetic systems. The first part of the talk will focus on cellular mechanobiology\, with an emphasis on cellular unjamming in three-dimensional environments. While unjamming transitions have been widely studied in collective cell migration and tissue remodeling\, their regulation in 3D remains less understood. I will describe our work investigating how cells transition between solid-like and fluid-like collective behaviors in physiologically relevant environments\, and how these transitions are coupled to cell-generated forces\, matrix interactions\, and multicellular organization.\n\nThe second part of the talk will shift toward bottom-up synthetic biology and the construction of synthetic cells that can sense and respond to environmental cues. I will present our work developing pH-sensing synthetic cells\, designed to detect chemical changes in their surroundings and produce measurable biochemical or physical responses. I will also discuss our efforts to engineer desiccation-resistant synthetic cells\, motivated by the need to create robust cell-like systems that can survive extreme or fluctuating environmental conditions. Together\, these projects highlight how principles from cell mechanobiology\, membrane biophysics\, and synthetic biology can be integrated to understand the design rules of living systems and to build programmable\, resilient cellular mimics.     \nBio:\nAllen Liu received a B.Sc. with Honors in Biochemistry from the University of British Columbia in 2001 and a Ph.D. in Biophysics from the University of California\, Berkeley in 2007\, followed by postdoctoral training at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla. He established his research group in 2012 and is currently Professor of Mechanical Engineering\, Biomedical Engineering\, and Biophysics\, as well as Associate Chair for Graduate Education in Mechanical Engineering\, at the University of Michigan.\n\nHis research focuses on cellular mechanotransduction and bottom-up synthetic biology\, integrating approaches from quantitative cell biology\, synthetic biology\, biophysics\, and microfluidics. He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers and delivered more than 100 invited presentations. His honors include the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award\; recognition as a Young Innovator by Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering and as a Rising Star by the Biomedical Engineering Society\; and selection as a Future of Biophysics speaker at a Burroughs Wellcome Fund symposium at the Biophysical Society Meeting. He is an elected Fellow of the Biomedical Engineering Society\, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry\, and a recipient of the Endeavour Executive Fellowship in Australia and the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship for Experienced Researchers in Germany.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:IOE 899: Rad Niazadeh
DESCRIPTION:Refugee resettlement is an international effort that aims to provide a durable solution for the current global refugee crisis. The goal is to help refugee families to find a new home in a host country and eventually find a new job to get “resettled.” In this talk\, Rad will discuss his recent paper in partnership with a major national agency working on refugee resettlement in the United States. \n\nThe talk is based on the paper \"Dynamic Matching with Post-allocation Service and its Application to Refugee Resettlement” (Management Science 2026\; preliminary conference version in ACM EC 2024): https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4748762
