Examples of FDA-approved biologics include therapeutic proteins (e.g. blood clotting factors and antibodies), engineered viruses for gene therapy, and cell therapies. Biologics are addressing previous unmet medical needs, but are challenging to manufacture and therefore high in cost. In this talk, I will describe our efforts to develop synthetic alternatives to biologics used in medicine. In the first example, we develop synthetic polymers that facilitate hemostasis and resuscitation for trauma medicine. In a second example, we synthesize a polymer that facilitates intracellular delivery of biologic cargo synthesized based on design principles learned from adenoviral vectors. In a final example, we identify unique aptamers to replace antibodies used in cell therapy manufacturing.\r\nBio:\r\nSuzie H.

Games and institutions often use one particular type: a mechanical scoring systems. A game tells us exactly what gets us points; a bureaucracy tells us exactly how our productivity will be measured. Strangely, these mechanical scoring systems often inspire fun and free play in games \u2013 but in institutional life, they drain the life out of everything. Why? Drawing from Lorraine Daston\u2019s work on rules, I offer a theory of the mechanical. A mechanical procedure is one where the procedures and criteria have been designed so as to be usable by anybody, to yield consistent results. Mechanical scoring systems perform a valuable social function: they guarantee convergence of evaluations, from those who have accepted the scoring system. They eliminate the possibility of disagreement among those who have agreed to abide by the scoring rules. To do this, however, such scoring systems need to strictly limit the kinds of criteria they can target. In games, this can help us to become more fluid. But mechanical scoring systems perform a different function in institutions. Mechanical scoring systems are often used to make workers more replaceable. The demand for worker fungibility thus systematically shapes the kinds of targets and goals that can be enshrined in institutions. This opens the door for a kind of hermeneutical feedback loop, whereby those agents who are willing to sacrifice all else, in the pursuit of higher mechanical scores, are rewarded with greater social power, with they can use to heighten the social power of mechanical scoring systems.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"122902-21849769@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/122902", "building_id":"1000197", "building_name":"Mason Hall", "campus_maps_id":"540", "room":"2306", "location_name":"Mason Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Philosophy"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Philosophy", "group_id":"3186", "website":"http:\/\/www.lsa.umich.edu\/philosophy" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/06\/event_122902_original-1.png", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/06\/event_122902_original-1.png", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/06\/event_122902_original-1.png", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/06\/event_122902_original-1.png", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/06\/event_122902_original-1.png", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/06\/event_122902_original-1.png", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/06\/event_122902_original-1.png", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/06\/event_122902_original-1.png", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/06\/event_122902_original-1.png", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/06\/event_122902_original-1.png", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/06\/event_122902_original-1.png", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/06\/event_122902_original-1.png", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/06\/event_122902_original-1.png", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/06\/event_122902_original-1.png", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/06\/event_122902_original-1.png", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/06\/event_122902_original-1.png" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21849769 } , "128395-21860776": { "datetime_modified":"20241130T123114", "datetime_start":"20241115T150000", "datetime_end":"20241115T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-11-15", "date_end":"2024-11-15", "time_start":"15:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Explore Internships: Your Gateway to Conservation with SCA", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Explore Internships: Your Gateway to Conservation with SCA", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Careers \/ Jobs", "event_type_id":"2", "description":"Join us for a virtual info session to learn about internship opportunities with the Student Conservation Association (SCA)!
