The brilliantly colored images in this exhibit were taken in the course of scientific research, and are beautiful in their detail, form and symmetry. For each one, an accompanying explanation describes its significance. The subjects of the images are cells, tissues and organs, from a wide variety of biological sources (plants, worms, fruit flies, fish, mice and yes, even human brain). The colors are added by investigators, to allow them to see the otherwise transparent tissues. By looking at these microscopic images, you will learn about research into normal embryonic development as well as cutting-edge investigations into diseases such as basal cell carcinoma, bipolar disease, epilepsy and cancer.

Green Life Sciences Symposium 2018: Plant-Environment Interactions Across Scales (September 27, 2018 8:15am) https://events.umich.edu/event/53208 53208-13287163@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, September 27, 2018 8:15am
Location: Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building
Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Plants interact with both a variety of community members (other plants, the microbial community, pollinators, herbivores) and are exposed to a variety of abiotic environmental stressors (drought and changing climate, human-mediated agents of selection). These interactions are often examined at the phenotypic level by evolutionary ecologists whereas the mechanistic basis of such interactions are detailed by molecular geneticists; longer-term outcomes of such interactions are assessed by paleobiologists. It is rare, however, that plant-environment interactions are examined across scales within the same system, i.e. from genes, to molecular mechanism, phenotype, fitness, and deeper evolutionary patterns across time. The aim of this conference is to highlight the work of prominent evolutionary ecologists, molecular geneticists, ecophysiologists, and paleobiologists at the University of Michigan and beyond that examine similar plant-interaction phenomena but at very different scales of study. Our overall goal is to stimulate new collaborations and novel takes on overlapping phenomenon studied across scales.

The brilliantly colored images in this exhibit were taken in the course of scientific research, and are beautiful in their detail, form and symmetry. For each one, an accompanying explanation describes its significance. The subjects of the images are cells, tissues and organs, from a wide variety of biological sources (plants, worms, fruit flies, fish, mice and yes, even human brain). The colors are added by investigators, to allow them to see the otherwise transparent tissues. By looking at these microscopic images, you will learn about research into normal embryonic development as well as cutting-edge investigations into diseases such as basal cell carcinoma, bipolar disease, epilepsy and cancer.

LSI Diversity Summit Lecture: Baldomero Olivera, Ph.D. (October 12, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/56028 56028-13821108@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 12, 2018 12:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Life Sciences Institute (LSI)

Baldomero Olivera, Ph.D. will provide this year's LSI Diversity Summit Lecture, as part of the University of Michigan's Annual Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Summit.

Abstract:
There are 1000 different species of venomous cone snails and over 20,000 venomous snails in the marine environment (Superfamily Conoidea). Their venoms are complex, each with 100 to 200 different bioactive components, and each species has a different set of venom components. This talk will focus on the ca. 150 species that prey on fish. The fish-hunting cone snails have evolved different strategies to capture their fish prey; and by understanding how the different lineages evolved and the behavior of the snails, and how their venoms affect the behavior of fish (and mice), insight has been gained into how different molecular components of the venom work. As a consequence of this research, there is one approved drug from these venoms, two that have reached clinical trials, and several in pre-clinical development.

About the Speaker:
Olivera is a Distinguished Professor of Biology at the University of Utah, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor and an adjunct professor at the University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute. He is a member of the American Philosophical Society, the U.S. National Academy of Science and the Institute of Medicine. His awards include the Outstanding Alumni Award of Caltech, the Redi Award from the International Society for Toxinology and the Harvard Foundation Scientist of the Year 2007 Award.

Abstract:
Basement membranes are an ancient form of extracellular matrix that assemble as thin, dense sheets that underlie most tissues. Basement membranes regulate numerous cellular and tissue functions, and basement membrane dysregulation is a hallmark of many cancers and a driver of tumor progression. Despite their importance, we know little about how basement membranes are uniquely constructed, how they grow, how they turnover, and how they regulate so many cell and tissue properties.

C. elegans is a powerful model to understand basement membrane function, as it has single genes encoding most basement membrane matrix components and receptors. We have used CRISPR/Cas-9 genome editing to create a basement membrane toolkit, where we have knocked genes encoding fluorescent proteins into all major basement membrane matrix components (18 genes) and receptors (13 genes). I will present a brief overview of how we are using the basement membrane toolkit to elucidate how basement membranes are constructed, how they grow, and the dynamic nature of basement membranes, including diverse turnover rates of basement membrane components (seconds to hours). Finally, I will discuss how the toolkit is revealing specialized, non-sheet functions for basement membrane proteins, such as linking neighboring tissues together and constructing stem cell niches.

About the Speaker:
David Sherwood, Ph.D., grew up in Champaign, Illinois, and spent summers backpacking in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. He graduated from Illinois Wesleyan University (with a year in Durham, England) in 1990. He received his Ph.D. in the lab of David McClay, Ph.D., from Duke University Department of Biology in 1997, where his thesis work identified and determined the function of the sea urchin Notch receptor. Dave carried out his postdoctoral work in the lab of Paul Sternberg, Ph.D. at the California Institute of Technology, where he was trained in C. elegans genetics and cell biology. He joined the faculty at Duke University in 2005, where he is now a Professor of Biology, Co-Director of the Regeneration Next Initiative for Regenerative Biology, Director of the Development and Stem Cell Biology Program, and Co-Director of the Embryology Course in at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. His research focuses on elucidating cell-extracellular matrix interactions that occur during cell invasion, stem cell niche formation, and tissue formation, growth and regeneration.

Boxed lunch will be provided.

Patient-Centered Precision Health In A Learning Health Care System: Geisinger’s Genomic Medicine Experience (November 29, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57086 57086-14086229@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 29, 2018 12:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Department of Learning Health Sciences

Medicine in the 21st century is being increasingly influenced by two concepts: Precision Medicine and the Learning Healthcare System. To broadly realize the promise of precision medicine (and health), it is necessary to use frameworks of implementation science grounded in the philosophy of the learning healthcare system to achieve robust implementation and value. This presentation will describe the implementation of a precision health program in an integrated healthcare delivery system aspiring to become a learning healthcare system. It will include early outcomes for the CDC Tier 1 genomic medicine conditions that identify significant care gaps and opportunities for improvement.

Organized By: Life Sciences Institute (LSI)

Speaker:

Elizabeth Villa, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Division of Biological Sciences at the University of California San Diego. She completed her Ph.D. in biophysics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as a Fulbright Fellow and then was a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow in the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Munich. In 2016, she was granted an NIH Director’s New Innovator Award, which allows her to pursue high-risk, high-reward research developing tags for cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and developing new technological and computational techniques to advance structural cell biology. In 2017, she was named a Pew Scholar.


Abstract:

To perform their function, biological systems need to operate across multiple scales. Current techniques in structural and cellular biology lack either the resolution or the context to observe the structure of individual biomolecules in their natural environment and are often hindered by artifacts. Our goal is to build tools that can reveal molecular structures in their native cellular environment. Using the power of cryo-electron tomography (CET) to image biomolecules at molecular resolution in situ, we are building tools to make compatible with, and directly comparable to, biophysical and cell biology experiments, capturing the structural behavior of macromolecules in action under controlled conditions. I will show how we used these techniques to reveal the structure of LRRK2, the greatest known genetic contributor to Parkinson’s disease, and to reveal the molecular architecture of bacterial cells.

Lunch will be provided to attendees.

Seminar: Genomics-guided discovery of peptide natural products in microbes and plants (January 8, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58824 58824-14561473@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 8, 2019 2:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Life Sciences Institute (LSI)

One of the key steps in innovating new pharmaceutical solutions to human diseases is the discovery of new natural products. In the 20th century, natural product-based drug discovery was largely bioactivity-guided and was faced with limited source material and frequent rediscovery of bioactive lead structures. In the last two decades, whole genome sequencing revealed that fungal and microbial genomes harbor more biosynthetic pathways than characterized natural product structures. This untapped biosynthetic potential inspired gene-guided discovery of natural products – or ‘genome mining’ - by applied knowledge that certain biosynthetic genes in a genome are connected to certain natural product structures. Genome mining has led to the discovery of many new natural product classes from microbes and fungi, and synthetic biology approaches have subsequently enabled sustainable scaled production and diversification of these natural products for further drug development by source-independent expression of their biosynthetic genes in heterologous hosts.

Dr. Kersten will present how genome mining in the microbial and plant kingdoms can enable discovery of new natural product chemistry and underlying biochemistry for potential pharmacological applications. Specifically, he will discuss genome mining approaches utilizing mass spectrometry for the characterization of peptide natural products, including how they translate from compact microbial genomes to complex plant genomes and what awaits to be discovered in light of a rapidly growing resource of plant genomes in the near future.

Abstract:

The plasma membrane separates the cell’s interior from the outside world. The exchange of information and material across this barrier is regulated by a multitude of channels, transporters, receptors, and trafficking organelles. Mapping the structure and dynamics of the plasma membrane is key to understanding how cells function. Electron microscopy can produce high resolution images of the structure of the plasma membrane. It has been challenging, however, to identify proteins within these samples. Super-resolution localization microscopy can image specific fluorescently-labeled molecules with better than 20 nm precision. We recently developed a correlative super-resolution light and platinum replica EM method (CLEM) that couples these complementary methods to produce images where identified proteins are mapped within the dense structural context of the cell at the nanoscale. This correlative method is uniquely suited to map the nanometer-scale molecular organization of the plasma membrane and associated organelles. Using this CLEM method, we studied 19 key proteins involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Our data provide a comprehensive molecular architecture of endocytic vesicles. We discover that key endocytic proteins distribute into three distinct spatial zones: inside, outside, and at the edge of the clathrin coat in human cells. The presence and amount of many factors within these zones change during organelle maturation. We propose that the formation and curvature of single clathrin-coated vesicles is driven by the recruitment, re-organization, and loss of proteins within these three partitioned nanoscale zones during endocytosis.

Lunch will be provided to attendees.

The Taubman Technology Talks series kicks off its 2019 season with “Metabolomics: Do you know what you (or your cells) are really eating?” featuring Taubman Institute Director Charles Burant, MD, PhD.
All are welcome January 10 from 5-6 pm at the Danto Auditorium inside the Frankel CVC for the lecture plus Q&A, followed by a reception and light refreshments. Attendance is free but if possible, please register at our Eventbrite site.
Metabolomics is the large-scale study of small molecules, commonly known as metabolites, within cells, biofluids, tissues or organisms. Examples of metabolites are glucose in the metabolism of sugars and starches, amino acids in the biosynthesis of proteins, and squalene in the biosynthesis of cholesterol. Collectively, these small molecules and their interactions within a biological system are known as the metabolome. Metabolomics is now an integral part of the ‘omics analysis and can provide unique information in a broad array of biological systems.

We stand on the brink of the new knowledge revolution.

As the quantity of knowledge has exploded exponentially, the current means for representing knowledge—words and pictures that must be interpreted by humans—have reached their limits. Our ability to use the ever-growing body of scientific, biomedical knowledge rests on efforts to transform how knowledge is expressed into abstract models that can inform action through computation.

This persistent computable knowledge is the “Keystone” that holds the Learning Cycle Together. At the LHS Collaboratory Seminar Series event on Tuesday, January 15, learn about the movement underway to promote the advancement of computable biomedical knowledge. Join Rachel Richesson, PhD, MPH, from Duke University, along with colleagues from the University of Michigan to hear more about the movement and ways to join the community!

Seminar: Genomic and functional approaches to studying cancer aneuploidy (January 16, 2019 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59297 59297-14728277@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, January 16, 2019 2:00pm

Studying aneuploidy in cancer models is necessary in order to functionally dissect the role(s) of aneuploidy in tumorigenesis, and to identify cellular vulnerabilities of aneuploid cancer cells. In order to properly use cancer models in aneuploidy research, we must understand how faithful their aneuploidy landscapes are to those of their tumors-of-origin, and dissect their heterogeneity and stability throughout model propagation. In my postdoctoral work I studied three major cancer models to gain insights into cancer aneuploidy, and – at the same time – I studied aneuploidy landscapes to gain insights into the genomic evolution of cancer models.
In a first study, I generated a comprehensive catalogue of aneuploidy in breast cancer mouse models. Mining this novel resource, I found that chromosomal aberrations accumulated late during breast tumorigenesis, and observed marked differences in aneuploidy patterns across mouse mammary tumours initiated with distinct drivers. I then used the mouse data to narrow down the region-of-interest in one of the most recurrent chromosomal changes in human breast cancer (chr1p loss), and identified a gene (Sfn) that contributes to the recurrence of this aneuploidy (Ben-David et al. Nature Communications 2016).
In a second study, I analyzed tumors from patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) and revealed distinct trajectories of aneuploidy evolution in patients and in mice. Importantly, some recurrent aneuploidies that tended to disappear in PDX models were associated with drug response to anticancer therapies (Ben-David et al. Nature Genetics 2017).
In a third study, I analyzed cancer cell lines and characterized how their genomic evolution altered their transcriptional programs and drug response. This work exposed associations between recurrent chromosomal changes and drug response, and yielded a novel genetically-matched system to study cancer aneuploidy.
I will discuss common themes emerging from these studies, highlighting their relevance to our understanding of cancer aneuploidy and their implications for working with cancer model systems.

Abstract: We explore a Netherlands outbreak of Q fever in 2009 by combining a human dose–response model with geostatistics to predict local probability of infection, associated probability of illness, and local effective exposures to Coxiella burnetii. We begin with the spatial distribution of 220 notified cases in the at–risk population. Next, we use the dose-response relationship (established via historical experiments) to convert the observed risk map into an estimated smooth spatial field of local dose. Based on the observed symptomatic cases, the dose–response model predicts a median of 611 asymptomatic infections (95% range 410 to 1,084), i.e., 2.78 (95% range 1.86 to 4.93) asymptomatic infections for each reported case. The estimated peak levels of exposure extend to the north–east from the point source with an increasing proportion of asymptomatic infections further from the source. Our work combines established methodology from model-based geostatistics and dose-response modeling providing a novel approach to study outbreaks. Such predictions (and associated uncertainties) are important for targeting interventions during an outbreak, estimating future disease burden, and planning public health response.

Single-cell technologies can provide unprecedented insights into tissue heterogeneity of normal blood and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We monitored stress signaling in single cells to understand how hematopoietic and leukemia stem cells balance survival and apoptosis. Furthermore, we combined single-cell RNA-sequencing and genotyping to define AML cell types and their malignant properties. Uncovering principles of normal blood development and leukemia will ultimately lead to therapies that can eliminate heterogeneous AML cells.

Speaker bio:
Peter van Galen investigates fundamental mechanisms that maintain normal hematopoiesis and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). He uses innovative and single-cell technologies to study the stem cells that sustain these complex tissues, a theme that was carried forward from his Ph.D. work with Dr. John Dick (Toronto) to his postdoc with Dr. Bradley Bernstein (Boston). The first area of research focuses on hematopoietic and leukemia stem cell (HSC and LSC) maintenance during stress. He implicated the Unfolded Protein Response and Integrated Stress Response as critical pathways that control HSC and LSC fate by balancing apoptosis and survival. The second area of research focuses on transcriptional control of normal and malignant tissue hierarchies by transcription factors and epigenetic regulation. He also combined single-cell transcriptional and genetic profiling with machine learning to define malignant AML cell types, revealing disruption of regulatory networks and drivers of malignant progression. Ultimately, van Galen aims to use innovative technologies and bioinformatics to uncover the organizing principles of normal and malignant blood systems, with the goal of discovering therapies that can eliminate heterogeneous AML cells.

Robert A. Coleman, PhD (Asst. Prof., Department of Anatomy and Structural Biology in the Gruss-Lipper Biophotonics Center at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine) will present the following abstract: Years of biochemical experiments have led to the identification of the eukaryotic transcription machinery and a static view of gene regulation. However, mechanisms controlling the dynamics of transcriptional regulation inside a crowded nucleus remains poorly understood. Recent advances in single molecule imaging have begun to shine light on these mechanisms, providing an unprecedented dynamic view of transcriptional regulation in live cells. We and others have found that transcription factors form dynamic hubs of activity in select nuclear compartments. I will discuss how formation of these hubs and recognition of genomic targets is regulated by interactions between transcription factors and the histone tails of chromatin. Transcription factors cycle on and off of their chromatin targets within these hubs on the order of seconds that likely reflect dynamic rates of chromatin remodeling, RNA Polymerase II convoy formation and transcriptional output of a gene. These findings are put into context describing how expression of the p21 cell cycle arrest gene is dynamically regulated by the tumor suppressor p53 protein and chromatin remodelers.

Abstract:
Chromatin remodeling plays a critical role in regulating all processes that require access to DNA. There are four families of chromatin remodelers, defined by the ATPase subunit of the complex. Although each family is often treated as a singular entity, in reality, the composition of remodeling complexes can vary greatly based on the inclusion of different subunits. SWI/SNF is the chromatin remodeler that best exemplifies the idea of compositional heterogeneity. More than half of its 12-15 subunits can be filled by mutually exclusive proteins. Despite the many studies on the function of SWI/SNF, considerably fewer have focused on regulation of assembly and composition of the complex. The goal of my lab is to understand how the composition of a chromatin remodeling complex is regulated, and how altered chromatin remodeling disrupts normal chromatin state and contributes to disease. My work integrates quantitative genomics, biochemistry, and molecular biology to develop a mechanistic understanding of how changes to the composition of a chromatin remodeling complex affects its function.

Speaker:
Jesse Raab received his Ph.D. from The University of California Santa Cruz working with Dr. Rohinton Kamakaka to uncover the role of human tRNA genes as chromatin insulator elements. In 2012, he joined the lab of Terry Magnuson to study how changes to the composition of chromatin remodeling complexes affect their function. He is now a research assistant professor in the Department of Genetics at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where he has continued his research to understand how disruption of chromatin remodeling complex composition contributes to disease.

The rise of capitalism after 1450 marked a turning point in the history of humanity’s relation with the rest of nature. It was greater than any watershed since the rise of agriculture and the first cities. And in relational terms, it was greater than the rise of the steam engine. These historical questions have assumed new salience in an era of runaway global warming and the Anthropocene narrative, which seeks to explain the origins and prime movers behind such deepening planetary instability. In this talk, environmental historian Jason W. Moore explains why and how the early modern origins of capitalism – understood as a world-ecology of power, capital, and nature – have shaped the crises of the 21st century.

Abstract:
Chronic inflammation is linked to diverse disease processes, including impaired function and survival of insulin-producing beta-cells housed within pancreatic islets. While major efforts are focused on the immune cell component of islet inflammation and insulitis in diabetes, the nature of beta-cell-intrinsic mechanisms that can modulate islet inflammation are incompletely understood. Among these mechanisms are the beta-cell’s unique metabolic features, such as the low affinity glucose phosphorylating enzyme glucokinase (GK, hexokinase IV) and close coupling of glycolysis to mitochondrial pyruvate handling. Glucose imparts protective or toxic effects on beta-cells depending on the extent and duration of the increase in glucose flux through GK; however, our mechanistic understanding of these effects and their influence on the beta-cell response to inflammation is limited.

We investigated the contribution of glucose metabolism to beta-cell survival during islet inflammation by performing detailed metabolomics, biochemical and functional analyses comparing toxic versus protective GK activation in human donor islets. These integrative analyses uncovered a previously unappreciated link between mitochondrial pyruvate handling, amino acid metabolism and the extent of oxidative stress through nitric oxide synthesis. The mechanistic underpinnings of protective versus toxic glucose signaling in beta-cells and their translational utility for enhancing functional beta-cell mass in diabetes will be discussed.

Ethics for a Learning Health Care System: The “Common Purpose” Framework (February 12, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59180 59180-14694666@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 12, 2019 12:00pm

There is increased interest among health care institutions to transitioning to become learning health systems. In this process, however, there are increased practical and moral challenges from using the traditional definitions of “research” vs “practice” to determine which activities within such systems require IRB review and other ethics oversight, and which do not. As health systems more deliberately integrate care delivery with ongoing data collection, a set of ethics commitments for this integrated approach must be articulated. This presentation will provide an example of an ethics framework for learning health care and underscore how also being guided by commitments to transparency, engagement, and accountability around the ongoing learning are also essential, ethically.

The LHS Collaboratory is co-sponsored by the Department of Learning Health Sciences, the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation and the Office of Research at the University of Michigan.

Abstract: Biological macromolecules function in dense, crowded cellular environments. Early studies of crowding effects have emphasized volume exclusion effects, but it is becoming clear that frequent non-specific interactions between proteins, nucleic acids, and metabolites may be the more important factor in modulating the structure and dynamics of biomolecules. Computer simulation studies at different scales of a series of models ranging from concentrated homogeneous protein solutions to models of bacterial cytoplasms are presented to explore the effects of non-specific quinary protein-protein interactions on protein stability and dynamics. One focus is on the formation of transient clusters that determine diffusive properties and lead to liquid-liquid phase transitions. The computational results are related to existing experimental data and the challenges and opportunities to expand the current studies to whole-cell modeling in molecular detail are discussed.

Nephrotic syndrome (NS), a kidney disease caused by failure of the glomerular filtration barrier, leads to substantial morbidity and mortality due to infection, clotting, and progression to chronic kidney disease. Our ability to effectively care for our patients with NS is hampered by a limited understanding of its underlying molecular mechanisms. Major progress has been made through the discovery of more than 50 single-gene causes of NS. But altogether these explain less than 15% of cases in the U.S. To gain a more complete picture of the genetic architecture of NS, we need to go beyond Mendelian gene discovery. In this seminar, I will present work done by our group to achieve this goal, with a particular focus on unique opportunities that result from integrating genome-scale omics datasets with deep phenotypic data in the longitudinal NEPTUNE NS cohort.

Abstract:
Our genome is decorated with diverse chemical modifications on proteins that package the DNA. These modifications constitute an essential layer of information (referred to as the epigenome) above the DNA sequence to regulate genome architecture and function. How the epigenome is decoded to impact a cell’s fate and behavior and how this process goes awry in human diseases remain poorly understood. Liling Wan, Ph.D., will discuss about her efforts in addressing these important questions and how we can translate the insights gained to therapeutic opportunities.

Speaker:
Liling Wan, Ph.D., graduated from Tsinghua University in China with a B.S. in biological sciences and biotechnology. She then went on to obtain Ph.D. degree from Princeton University, where she studied cancer biology, with a focus on cancer metastasis. Wan is now a postdoctoral fellow with David Allis, Ph.D., at Rockefeller University. During her postdoc, she studied how epigenetic information stored on chromatin is translated by chromatin reader proteins, and how this process impacts cell fate and cancer. Wan is recognized by numerous awards for her work, including a Jane Coffin Childs Postdoctoral Fellowship and a NIH K99 Pathway to Independent career award.

Ben Engel is an expert in cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), a critical science component of the Cryo-EM Biosciences Initiative.

Cells accomplish the biochemical reactions of life by concentrating their proteins into a variety of subcellular compartments called organelles. Engel’s group explores the relationship between the form of the organelle and the function of its resident macromolecules. How does organelle architecture direct molecular function, and reciprocally, how do macromolecules sculpt and shape organelles? To investigate these questions, they use focused ion beam (FIB) milling of frozen cells followed by cryo-electron tomography to image macromolecules within their native cellular environment. Through a combination of nanometer-precision localization and high-resolution structural analysis, Engel aims to chart the molecular landscapes of organelles. Thanks to its superb cryo-EM contrast and textbook organelle architecture, the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas is an ideal specimen for this approach. Engel’s group has taken a holistic approach to survey the whole integrated “planimal”, with in situ molecular studies of the nuclear envelope, ER, Golgi, basal body apparatus (centrioles), and chloroplast. In this talk, Engel will provide an overview of some of these studies, touching on proteasome-rich degradation centers, the nuclear pore complex, COPI coats, and the molecular organization of chloroplast’s thylakoid membranes and pyrenoid.

Abstract: Though the potential impact of machine learning in healthcare warrants genuine enthusiasm, the increasing computerization of the field is still often seen as a negative rather than a positive. The limited adoption of machine learning in healthcare to date highlights the fact that there remain important challenges. In this talk, I will highlight two key challenges related to applying machine learning in healthcare: 1) interpretability and 2) small sample size. First, machine learning has often been criticized for producing ‘black boxes.’ In this talk, I will argue that interpretability is neither necessary nor sufficient, demonstrating that even interpretable models can lack common sense. To address this issue, we propose a novel regularization method that enables the incorporation of domain knowledge during model training, leading to increased robustness. Second, machine learning techniques benefit from large amounts of data. However, oftentimes in healthcare we find ourselves in data poor settings (i.e., small sample sizes). I will show how domain knowledge can help guide architecture choices and efficiently make use of available data. There’s a critical need for machine learning in healthcare; however, the safe and meaningful adoption of these techniques requires close collaboration in interdisciplinary teams and a careful understanding of one’s domain.

Today’s health system fails to deliver the best possible outcomes. Research takes too long and costs too much, and opportunities to engage the participation and contribution by patients and families are not yet common. What if we could create a better care system by harnessing inherent motivation and collective intelligence of patients, clinicians and researchers? In every part of our lives, networks are having a profound effect. How could networked organizations accelerate progress towards Learning Health Systems? This talk will describe how several large-scale learning health system networks are eliminating the artificial barriers between clinical care, improvement and research while engaging all stakeholders as part of a single health system. The result is faster learning and better outcomes for large populations of patients.

The LHS Collaboratory is co-sponsored by the Department of Learning Health Sciences, the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation and the Office of Research at the University of Michigan.

Single-cell RNA-seq is a powerful technology for identifying novel and known cell types, however its power is limited to organisms with well-annotated genomes. We present a reference-free method to compare single cells both within and across species. In this method, k-mers from each cell’s RNA-seq profile are randomly subsampled into a compressed representation called a “sketch” using document comparison algorithms of MinHash or HyperLogLog. For within-species comparison, the RNA sketches are sufficient, but as protein sequence is more stable across species, we translate the RNA k-mers into protein k-mers with 6-frame translation, discarding all protein k-mers containing stop codons. We show this method can “lift over” single-cell RNA-seq annotations from mouse to human and compare to using purely 1:1 mapping orthologous genes. Thus, k-mer sketches are an efficient method to find shared and unique cell types both within and across species without need for a reference genome or transcriptome.

Organized By: DCMB Tools and Technology Seminar

Abstract: Modern challenges of an increasingly digital healthcare system include (1) data quality is not a priority for busy clinicians, (2) data can be non-standardized across health systems, (3) observations from Big Data are often not prioritized and may disrupt clinical workflow, and (4) data collected by varying healthcare teams are often not integrated. Such problems can limit the effectiveness of medical care delivery, and are currently being tackled by clinician collaboratives such as the Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group (MPOG). Using the MPOG collaborative as an example, this talk describes how software tools are used to assimilate large arrays of diverse health data and present complex medical inferences to clinicians in a reliable, intuitive, and non-disruptive manner.

Next generation and single cell sequencing have ushered in an era of big data in biology. These data present an unprecedented opportunity to learn new mechanisms and ask unasked questions. Matrix factorization (MF) techniques can reveal low-dimensional structure from high-dimensional data to uncover new biological knowledge. The knowledge of gained from low dimensional features in training data can also be transferred to new datasets to relate disparate model systems and data modalities. We illustrate the power of these techniques for interpretation of high dimensional data through case studies in postmortem tissues from GTEx, acquired therapeutic resistance in cancer, and developmental biology.

The trophoblast at the feto-maternal interface fulfills functions that are critical for embryonic development, including gas exchange, supply of nutrients, removal of waste products, endocrine regulation, and immunological defense. In his lab, Dr. Sadovsky utilizes molecular and cellular approaches to decipher mechanisms underlying placental development, differentiation, and response to injury. Using cultured primary human placental cells, genetically-altered mice, and placental samples from human pregnancies, his lab examines molecular mechanisms underlying trophoblast response to diverse stressors that adversely influence the homeostatic balance between cell injury and adaptation. Dr. Sadovsky’s research assesses how these stressors contribute to placental dysfunction and fetal growth restriction (FGR), which predispose to childhood neurodevelopmental dysfunction and adult metabolic syndrome.

Abstract: On the one hand, there's science: the clear-eyed, hard-nosed, the pragmatic empiricist. On the other hand, there's math: the poet, the dreamer, the hunter of wild abstractions. How do these two intellectual traditions regard one another? And why is it that the most useless-sounding math - from knot theory to meta-logic to non-Euclidean geometry - often turns out to be the most useful? Prerequisites: basic human curiosity; tolerance for bad drawings; the willingness to participate in a silly debate. In short: all are welcome!

Abstract:
Mechanotransduction is perhaps the last sensory modality not understood at the molecular level. Proteins/ion channels that sense mechanical force are postulated to play critical roles in sensing touch/pain (somatosensation), sound (hearing), shear stress (cardiovascular function), etc.; however, the identity of ion channels involved in sensing mechanical force had remained elusive. The Patapoutian lab identified PIEZO1 and PIEZO2, mechanically-activated cation channels that are expressed in many mechanosensitive cell types. Genetic studies established that PIEZO2 is the principal mechanical transducer for touch, proprioception, baroreception and lung stretch, and that PIEZO1 mediates blood-flow sensing, which impacts vascular development. Clinical investigations have confirmed the importance of these channels in human physiology. Most recently, Patapoutian lab identified TMEM63/OSCA family of mechanically activated ion channels as well as a GPCR (GPR68) that senses shear stress and is essential for controlling flow-mediated dilation of blood vessels. The lab continues to analyze the physiological relevance of these receptors in and is searching for novel mechanosensors.

Speaker:
Ardem Patapoutian, Ph.D., is a molecular biologist specializing in sensory transduction. His notable contributions include identifying novel ion channels activated by temperature, mechanical force and increased cell volume. His laboratory has shown that these ion channels play crucial roles in sensing temperature, touch, proprioception and pain.

Patapoutian was born in Lebanon and attended the American University of Beirut for one year before he immigrated to the United States in 1986. He graduated from UCLA and them received his Ph.D. at Caltech in the lab of Dr. Barbara Wold. After postdoctoral work with Dr. Lou Reichardt at UCSF, he joined the faculty of The Scripps Research Institute in 2000, where he is currently a professor in the Department of Neuroscience and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Patapoutian was awarded the Young Investigator Award from the Society for Neuroscience in 2006 and the Alden W. Spencer Award from Columbia University in 2017.

Organized By: DCMB Seminar Series

Ophthalmology is heavily dependent on imaging and numerical data, making it an excellent candidate for the application of deep learning to tasks in image analysis and clinical decision support. In this seminar, we will discuss the rapid automated segmentation of anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) and its implications for the clinical investigation of the cornea and the intraoperative guidance of surgical maneuvers. In addition, we will discuss the relevance of deep learning to lens implant selection for cataract surgery -- the most commonly performed surgical procedure in the United States. We will conclude by examining the potential roles for deep learning in the analysis of the SOURCE database -- a comprehensive repository of ophthalmic clinical and imaging data being built at UM Kellogg Eye Center to encompass data across 18 institutions.
