SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Engineering immunotherapies for autoimmunity and cancer\n\nAbstract:\nEffective delivery of drugs to direct immune responses requires an understanding of biological barriers\, physicochemical properties of drug molecules\, formulation and transport in vivo.  Designing molecular structures that persist at the administration site or that promote drainage to regional lymphatic networks may enhance immune responses while sparing immune-related adverse events.  Here\, drug transport and local elimination mechanisms will be overviewed.  Then\, examples of molecular designs to direct drug delivery will be presented.  Autoimmune therapies were designed by our lab to promote the drainage of autoantigens to secondary lymphoid organs to treat autoimmune diseases.  Specifically\, the size and solubility of these molecular constructs were tuned to promote access to the lymphatic compartment and induce immune tolerance in mouse models of type 1 diabetes.  Our lab has also recently explored the design of immunostimulants that persist in tumor tissue after intratumoral/perilesional injection.  Intratumoral immunotherapy is proposed to work synergistically with checkpoint inhibitors making a nonresponsive ‘cold’ tumor ‘hot’ by recruiting and activating tumor infiltrating lymphocytes.  This approach can suffer from systemic immune-related adverse reactions\, however\, if enough immunostimulant escapes the site of administration.  Data on the use of electrostatic mechanisms to promote tumor retention will be presented.  These examples underscore the need for rational design of drug molecules or formulations based upon the route of delivery and biological barriers encountered.     \n\nBio:\nCory Berkland is the Mark and Becky Levin Professor in the Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Chemistry at Washington University in Saint Louis.  Previously\, he was the Solon E. Summerfield Professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and in the Department of Chemical Engineering at The University of Kansas.  He received MS and PhD degrees from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign and a BS degree in Chemical Engineering from Iowa State University in Ames.  His lab studies pharmaceuticals and materials with an emphasis on molecular design and transport in the human body.  He is a co-founder of Orbis Biosciences (acquired by Adare Pharmaceuticals)\, Savara Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:SVRA)\, Bond Biosciences\, Kinimmune\, Axioforce\, and other start-ups.  He has served as a board member\, executive\, and fundraiser for these companies.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PPE Lecture Series: Rajiv Sethi (Barnard College\, Columbia University)
DESCRIPTION:Title:\n\"The Interpretation of Signals\"\n\nAbstract: \nWe live in a sea of signals. Words and phrases\, emoticons and emojis\,  pronouns in bios\,  tattoos and piercings\, skin color and eye shape\, flags and insignia\, diplomas and certificates\, standardized test scores\, and prices in markets — these are all carriers of information demanding attention and interpretation. We attach meanings to these messages\, and they shape our actions in ways large and small. This lecture is motivated by the conviction that something useful can be said about economic and social life if one examines signals — despite their bewildering variety and complexity — from a unified perspective\, with a focus on statistical inference and strategic incentives.\n\nRajiv Sethi is a Professor of Economics at Barnard College\, Columbia University and an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute. He is a 2025-26 fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford University. Rajiv was a 2020-21 Joy Foundation Fellow at the Harvard Radcliffe Institute\, and a 2008-09 Richard B. Fisher Member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Professor Sethi has served on the editorial boards of several journals\, including the American Economic Review\, and is a founding associate editor of Collective Intelligence.\n\n His current research deals with information and beliefs.\n\nIn collaboration with Brendan O’Flaherty\, he has examined the manner in which stereotypes affect interactions among strangers\, especially in relation to crime and the criminal justice system. These include interactions between victims and offenders\, officers and suspects\, prosecutors and witnesses\, and judges and defendants. Their book\, Shadows of Doubt: Stereotypes\, Crime\, and the Pursuit of Justice was published by Harvard University Press in 2019.\n\nWith Muhamet Yildiz\, he has explored communication among individuals who consider each other to have valuable information\, but also believe that others are biased to different degrees in the manner in which they process information. In deciding where to seek information\, therefore\, people face a trade-off between sources that are well-informed (in the sense of having precise information about the world) and those that are well-understood (in the sense of having transparent biases). In previous work they have examined public disagreement and private information flows\, and in current work are exploring the implications of correlated biases within social groups.\n\nRajiv is a contributor to CORE (Curriculum Open-Access Resources for Economics)\, an initiative aimed at the production of high-quality resources for the teaching of economics\, distributed free of charge worldwide under a Creative Commons license.
