SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:CCMB/DCMB Weekly Seminar Series featuring Ting Wang\, PhD (Professor of Medicine and Head\, Department of Genetics WashU Medicine)
DESCRIPTION:CCMB/DCMB Seminar by Ting Wang\, PhD\n\n\"Unmasked: transposable elements as drivers and targets in cancer\"\n\nAbstract\n\nTransposable elements (TEs) represent almost half of the human genome. Historically deemed ‘junk DNA’\, recent technological advancements have stimulated a wave of research into the functional impact of TEs on gene-regulatory networks in evolution and development\, as well as in diseases including cancer. The genetic and epigenetic evolution of cancer involves the exploitation of TEs\, whereby TEs contribute directly to cancer-specific gene activities. I will provide a perspective on the role of TEs in cancer as being a ‘double-edged sword’\, both promoting cancer evolution and representing a vulnerability that could be exploited in cancer therapy. \n\nThe CCMB Seminar Series (Sponsored by DCMB) is held at Medical Science Building 1 (MS1)\, Room 4B700\, each Wednesday\, at 4:00 pm EST\, on bioinformatics-related topics.Each seminar is presented by an invited guest speaker. These seminars are live-streamed on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar (IISS)
DESCRIPTION:Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies Seminar (IISS) provides opportunities for graduate students and faculty who work across various disciplines and world regions to engage in conversations about Islam. This year's seminar focuses on the topic of “The Emergence of Muslim Identities\,\" exploring how Muslims across various temporal and spatial contexts have made and continue to make sense of themselves and others in light of their faith tradition.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:LSA Scholarship Q&A for Admitted High School Students
DESCRIPTION:The LSA Scholarships Q&A is a virtual one-hour session to allow admitted first-year applicants to learn more about the available scholarships at the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts (LSA) and ask any questions they may have. We encourage you to bring your parents or family members who may be interested or want to learn more. Please be aware we are not the Office of Financial Aid. If you have questions about the FAFSA\, CSS Profile\, or unique financial circumstances\, please direct those questions to OFA: https://finaid.umich.edu/contact-us.\n\nEmail lsarecruit@umich.edu if you have any additional questions.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Probability and Analysis Seminar: Spectral gaps and measure decompositions
DESCRIPTION:I'll introduce a new set of computable and orthogonally invariant quantities for a given probability measure on a Euclidean space. I'll show how these quantities can determine the extent to which the given probability measure can be decomposed as an equal weight mixture of two probability measures with significantly different second order statistics. Joint work with Joe Kileel and Vandy Tombs.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:RTG Seminar on Geometry\, Dynamics and Topology: The growth of confined subgroups on a hyperbolic space
DESCRIPTION:Given a metric space X\, we call a discrete subgroup G of Isom(X) confined if the quotient X/G has uniformly bounded injectivity radius. When X is a higher-rank symmetric space\, Fraczyk and Gelander showed that all confined subgroups are lattices. When X is a rank-1 symmetric space\, Gekhtman and Levit showed that all confined subgroups are as “big” as normal subgroups of lattices. In this talk\, I will discuss an analogous result about confined subgroups acting on Gromov hyperbolic spaces and Teichmüller space. Joint work with Ilya Gekhtman\, Wenyuan Yang and Tianyi Zheng.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Student AIM Seminar: Spatially informed biologically interpretable machine learning approaches for analyzing EEG data
DESCRIPTION:Biological neural networks (BNNs) are machine learning models that enhance the biological interpretability of artificial neural networks by modeling neural dynamics and providing insights underlying neural system behavior. In our previous work\, Hodgkin-Huxley neuron models were implemented in BNNs to classify electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. While biologically interpretable\, these models treat each electrode independently and ignore spatial relationships\, limiting their ability to capture large-scale brain dynamics.\n\nHere\, we develop trainable BNNs using time-aware backpropagation applied to networks of biophysically accurate neurons based on modified Hodgkin-Huxley equations\, integrated within feedforward and recurrent architectures. Neuron sets represent brain regions\, and synaptic weights reflect spatial distances and functional connectivity. These BNNs classify consciousness levels from EEG data\, extrapolate deeper brain activity\, and exhibit physiologically observed frequencies\, while hidden-layer neurons remain biologically interpretable. Overall\, spatially informed BNNs can capture deeper structures\, generate emergent spatiotemporal patterns\, and improve cross-subject generalization\, advancing both EEG interpretability and generalizability while bridging neural modeling and modern machine learning.
