However, most patients do not respond to currently approved immune checkpoint inhibitors. Our group is working to solve this emergent grand challenge in immuno-oncology through the development of molecularly engineered technologies that increase immune recognition of tumors. This talk will focus on our recent work in the design of therapeutics and drug carrier technologies for activation of antitumor innate immunity and how we are leveraging these materials to increase tumor immunogenicity and responses to immunotherapy.\r\n\r\nBio:\r\nJohn T. Wilson is an Associate Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering and Chancellor Faculty Fellow at Vanderbilt University, where he also Co-Leads the Host-Tumor Interactions Program within the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. Dr. Wilson graduated from Oregon State University with a B.S. in Bioengineering and received his Ph.D. in Bioengineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. He was awarded a Cancer Research Institute (CRI) Postdoctoral Fellowship to support his postdoctoral research at the University of Washington. Dr. Wilson started his independent career at Vanderbilt in 2014 and was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2021. His multidisciplinary Immunoengineering Laboratory works at the interface of engineering and immunology to improve human health, bringing together expertise in molecular engineering, nanotechnology, and pharmaceutical science to develop strategies for more precisely modulating immune and inflammatory responses at the tissue, cell, and subcellular level. He has published more than 50 scientific articles, including in high-impact journals such as Nature Nanotechnology and Science Immunology. He is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) and has received several awards including the NSF CAREER award, Alex\u2019s Lemonade Stand Foundation \u2018A\u2019 Award, Stand Up To Cancer Innovative Research Grant Award, CBME Young Innovator Award, and Vanderbilt Chancellor\u2019s Award for Research.\r\n\r\nZoom:\r\nhttps:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/94801149707", "occurrence_notes":"Zoom: https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/94801149707", "guid":"121205-21846003@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/121205", "building_id":"1000448", "building_name":"Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building", "campus_maps_id":"56", "room":"1311", "location_name":"Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Biology","Michigan Engineering","engineering","engineer","bme","Biotechnology","Biosciences","Bioninterfaces","biomedical engineering","biomedical","Biointerfaces","Basic Science"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Biomedical Engineering", "group_id":"1143", "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=100094127215673" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121205_original-1.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121205_original-1.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121205_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121205_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121205_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121205_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121205_original-1.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121205_original-1.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121205_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121205_original-1.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121205_original-1.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121205_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121205_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121205_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121205_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/04\/event_121205_original-1.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21846003 } , "121157-21845904": { "datetime_modified":"20240404T162523", "datetime_start":"20240411T153000", "datetime_end":"20240411T162000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-04-11", "date_end":"2024-04-11", "time_start":"15:30:00", "time_end":"16:20:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"The Department of Astronomy Distinguished Alumna Colloquium Presents:", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"The Department of Astronomy Distinguished Alumna Colloquium Presents:: Dr. Vivienne F.

The classical setting of this problem asks for the justification of Boltzmann\u2019s kinetic equation from Newtonian particle dynamics. This justification has been proven for short times, starting with the work of Lanford in 1975, but its long time justification remains one of the biggest open problems in kinetic theory. \r\n\r\nIf classical colliding particles are replaced with interacting waves, one formally obtains what is known as \"wave kinetic theory\u201d, which is sometimes also called \"wave turbulence theory\". This theory of statistical physics for waves has been developed, starting in the late 1920s, for wave systems that arise in various scientific disciplines like many-particle quantum physics, oceanography, climate science, etc. The central mathematical problem there is also the justification of a kinetic equation, known as the wave kinetic equation, starting from the Hamiltonian PDE that governs the corresponding microscopic system. In this talk, we shall describe the state of the art of this problem, leading to a most recent joint work with Yu Deng (USC), in which we give the first instance of a long time justification of a nonlinear (particle or wave) collisional kinetic limit.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"119643-21843196@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/119643", "building_id":"1000166", "building_name":"East Hall", "campus_maps_id":"53", "room":"4088", "location_name":"East Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Mathematics"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Differential Equations Seminar - Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"4888", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"3791", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21843196 } }
