Bayesian models for mercury effects on multiple outcomes in the Seychelles Child Development Study (November 2, 2021 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/88561 88561-21655084@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 2, 2021 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Michigan Lifestage Environmental Exposures and Disease Center

Sally W. Thurston, PhD is an Associate Professor of Biostatistics and Environmental Medicine, University of Rochester, Dept of Biostatistics and Computational Biology.

ABSTRACT: The Seychelles Child Development Study (SCDS) Main Cohort was recruited to investigate the association between prenatal mercury (Hg) exposure from maternal fish consumption and the children’s subsequent development. Multiple neurodevelopmental outcomes were measured at several discrete ages. These outcomes can be grouped into different classes or "domains", such as cognition, motor, or memory. Associations of Hg and covariates may differ across outcomes and domains. Motivated by the SCDS, I will first discuss a model for multiple outcomes at a single age under the assumption that each outcome belongs to one domain and domain memberships are known. I will then briefly describe two extensions: a model in which outcomes may have partial domain membership in more than one domain, and a longitudinal multiple outcomes model for cognition when the tests of cognition change with the age of the child.

The goal of Environmental Statistics Week is to disseminate knowledge of advanced statistical methods most relevant to environmental health research with expert-led discussions on statistical concepts.

Engineering for social good? Understanding and challenging barriers to socially-informed engineering practice (February 9, 2022 10:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/90977 90977-21675119@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 9, 2022 10:30am

Engineering training has long been characterized by the primacy of technical considerations. In recent years, there have been increasing calls for engineers to better account for social and contextual dimensions of their work, in addition to the technical, in order to adequately address the complex challenges of our modern society. However, the field has been slow to change. In this seminar, I will present findings from a study that explores how a narrowly technical focus of engineering work may be perpetuated through day-to-day engineering training and practice. Findings from this study also highlight how emphasized forms of engineering practice (mis)align with engineers’ personal values and interests and I will discuss the potential implications of this (mis)alignment for how engineers view the field and their place within it. In addition, I will discuss several current collaborative research efforts that relate to this work: one focused on characterizing curricular messaging in two engineering departments and the implications of this messaging for students’ sense of fit and career intentions in their fields and another focused on understanding the adoption and impacts of a toolkit aimed at providing students with the skills to identify and address socially engaged aspects of engineering work.

C. Contributions to Science
1. Identified Eph/ephrin cellular mechanisms in morphogenesis
We have made major contributions to understanding EPH/EPHRIN signaling mechanisms in development in multiple contexts including the craniofacial, neural and neural crest systems. The EPHs compose the largest family of receptor tyrosine kinases in the vertebrate genome constituting one quarter of the total number. Though extensively studied in the nervous system, the signaling mechanisms utilized by this family in other contexts are complex and modestly understood, particularly in vivo. We have learned that a large number of these molecules exhibit distinct expression patterns in the developing craniofacial region. In a novel “conditional-rescue” approach we discovered that EPHRIN-B2 is required in the vascular endothelium for normal NCC development. EPH/EPHRIN signaling is widely known to regulate cellular organization, but the signaling mechanisms by which it does so are unclear. By studying a series of targeted and signaling mutations in EPHRIN-B1 and its receptors EPHB2 and EPHB3 in mice, we determined that EPH/EPHRIN cell segregation involves unidirectional forward signaling from EPHRIN-B1 and relies on kinase activity of the receptors. By live cell imaging we also observe that this unidirectional signaling results in changes in cortical actomyosin accumulation and leading us to interrogate the biophysical basis for EPH/EPHRIN cell segregation. We recently discovered that EPH/EPHRIN signaling modulates the strength of cell-cell contacts by regulating cell interfacial tension through increased heterotypic cortical actomyosin contractility. The minimization of heterotypic interfacial tension also informs how EPH/EPHRIN signaling regulates tissue shape changes relevant to Contributions number 2 and 4. Current efforts in this area focus on how EPH/EPHRIN signaling regulates mesenchymal cell polarity and cell position, forming the basis for part of “Focus one” of this proposal.

2. Delineated Eph/ephrin signaling mechanisms underlying craniofrontonasal syndrome
We have focused on the role of EPH/EPHRIN signaling in craniofrontonasal syndrome (CFNS), an X-linked condition caused by mutations in EFNB1 characterized by hypertelorism, craniosynostosis, cleft lip and palate, agenesis of the corpus callosum, and particularly increased severity in female patients. By generating a series of signaling mutations in three different gene targeted mouse lines, we were able to determine the relevant modes of signaling for different EPHRIN-B1 phenotypes. We found that reverse signaling by a PDZ-dependent mechanism is critical for axon guidance, whereas it is dispensible for skeletal and craniofacial development. This work showed that different aspects of craniofrontonasal syndrome are caused by loss of function of distinct molecular EPHRIN-B1 signaling functions. Further, by integrating mouse genetics, phosphoproteomic and transcriptomic approaches we have investigated downstream signaling pathways utilized by EPHRIN-B1 in craniofacial development and disease. In this context, we were the first to show that EPH receptor expression is regulated by endocytosis in vivo, and that EPHRIN-B1 controls cell proliferation by the Ras/MAPK signaling pathway. We have also generated an hiPSC model for CFNS, which to our knowledge is the first hiPSC model of a congenital craniofacial syndrome, and used to it ask key questions about the cellular etiology underlying this perplexing disease. Recently, we coupled geometric morphometric techniques with temporal and spatial manipulation of EPHRIN-B1 signaling to elucidate how Efnb1 mutations result in stereotyped dysmorphology in CFNS. Current efforts in this area focus on delineating the proximal signal transduction mechanisms employed by EPH/EPHRIN-B1 signaling in craniofacial morphogenesis using CRISPR/CAS9 based methods.

3. Developed live imaging approaches to discover cellular mechanisms of craniofacial tissue fusions
Though tissue fusion is a critical final step of lip and palate development, we currently lack cellular resolution understanding of how these tissue fusion events occur, and how they are controlled. We have been examining the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which tissue fusion occurs by combining live imaging of mouse morphogenesis with mouse genetic and physical perturbations. We developed the first successful application of confocal live imaging technology to secondary palate development, and it has allowed us to make new discoveries on the cellular mechanisms at play. Our results indicate that tissue fusion proceeds by a progression of dynamic cell behaviors beginning with convergence of two independent epithelia and concomitant to orthogonal displacement of the resultant shared epithelium. Further, we have found that epithelial cell extrusion, in which cells are squeezed out of an epithelium, is a novel contributor to the removal of the midline epithelial seam (MES). A nearly completed manuscript presents a new live imaging approach to understanding secondary palate fusion, and demonstrates a unique and novel form of collective epithelial migration that is crucial for this process. Most recently, we have also established live imaging approaches for the study of upper lip/primary palate fusion, which we are using to study roles for actomyosin contractility and cell adhesion in this process.

4. Improved mouse genetics tools for the study of craniofacial and neural crest development and disease
In the course of our studies, we discovered that the Wnt1-Cre mouse line exhibits developmental phenotypes attributable to elevated and ectopic activation of Wnt signaling. This is a standard and widely used reagent in the fields of craniofacial development and neural crest stem cell biology and our careful analysis of this reagent has already had broad-reaching effects causing labs to re-examine previously published work. To provide a reagent that is devoid of these complications, we generated a Wnt1-Cre2 transgenic mouse line that exhibits the same pattern of activity as Wnt1-Cre but does not cause ectopic activation of Wnt signaling or developmental phenotypes. Over the past five years, I have also served as the faculty advisor for the UCSF mouse inventory database, which facilitates the sharing of genetically modified mouse lines. Most recently, my lab has successfully adopted the iGONAD electroporation method for rapid generation of new mouse lines which we are employing to generate new mouse models for the study of congenital disease.

5. Understanding how cell fate and morphogenesis are coupled in the developing foregut
Based initially on phenotypes that we discovered in an Efnb2 mutant mouse line that we generated, we have now established a robust research focus on understanding the specification and morphogenesis of the trachea and esophagus. Classical developmental biology experiments hypothesize that two transcription factors, NKX2.1 and SOX2 act as master regulators of these fates, but this remains untested at the transcriptome level and their targets were unknown. we combine state-of-the-art transcriptomic experiments in embryonic tissues with functional mouse genetic experiments to expose the fundamental process of fate specification of the trachea and esophagus. We performed single cell RNA sequencing in mice to establish a transcriptome-wide understanding of the early steps of trachea and esophagus development and used these data, combined with RNA-sequencing of mutants and embryonic ChIP-seq to interrogate the transcriptome-wide function of NKX2.1 in tracheal and esophageal development. The results of these experiments provide a new understanding of how the trachea and esophagus are initially specified at the genome-wide level. Our studies also reveal that NKX2.1 directly represses Efnb2 to regulate the site of tracheoesophageal separation. These discoveries may be impactful to the study of tracheal, lung, and esophageal developmental biology and related structural anomalies in humans, as well as for the fields of embryonic stem cell biology and for lung and esophageal cancer for which these are keystone transcriptional pathways.

Considered to be the father of the lithium-ion battery, 2019 Nobel laureate in Chemistry Stanley Whittingham will present "Overcoming Climate Change: The Critical Role and Challenges of Energy Storage" at 4:30 p.m. in Hill Auditorium. The event is free, open to the public and suitable for a broad audience. Note: Due to the popularity of this event, it is advised to arrive early to facilitate timely seating.

Abstract:
If North America is going to slow down climate change, it is essential that it goes to a clean sustainable energy economy. As many of the renewable energy sources such as solar and wind are intermittent it is necessary to store the energy for periods of generation outage. In addition, a clean transportation fleet requires majority conversion to electric vehicles particularly in urban areas. Lithium batteries are the dominant portable option, but they have a number of challenges in providing sustainable low cost transportation for most of us. After a description of the history of lithium batteries, I will describe some of the challenges and the resulting opportunities for all of us that will lead to a cleaner environment for our children and grandchildren.

FFT-Accelerated and Tucker-Enhanced Parameter Extractors for Voxelized Structures (July 20, 2022 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/95835 95835-21791046@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, July 20, 2022 2:00pm

Today, designers are extensively using parameter extractors during the designs of their chips, packages, integrated circuits, micro-electro-mechanical systems, and wireless charging units. While developing their designs via voxel-based virtual fabrication environments, which recently became popular to model unit process steps of the semiconductors and micro-electro-mechanical systems, designers are in need of parameter extractors that can be operated on interconnects/circuits/structures discretized by voxels (i.e., cubes). Furthermore, today’s 3D printing technology is voxel-based. To efficiently and accurately perform the analysis of 3-D printed boards, coils, and components, voxel-based analysis and design tools, particularly parameter extractors, are called for. In this seminar, I will talk about a series of integral equation-based parameter extractors for computing the capacitances, inductances, and impedances of interconnects and circuits discretized by voxels. These extractors were developed by exploiting the structured grid on which voxels reside and accelerated by fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) and specially developed preconditioners. Their memory and computational time requirements were drastically reduced by tensor decompositions, particularly Tucker decompositions. For voxelized structures, these extractors called VoxCap, VoxHenry/SuperVoxHenry, and VoxImp were proven to be much faster, more accurate, and more memory-efficient than their traditional fast and famous counterparts, FastCap, FastHenry, and FastImp, respectively. For the same level of accuracy in the analyses of voxelized structures, VoxCap, SuperVoxHenry, and VoxImp required 47x, 13x, and 55x less memory and 12x, 876x, and 16x less computational time compared to FastCap, FastHenry, and FastImp, respectively. On a desktop computer, VoxCap, SuperVoxHenry, and VoxImp successfully extracted the parameters of the structures requiring the solutions of linear system of equations with more than 100, 47, and 53 millions of unknowns, respectively. After introducing the Vox series, I will briefly talk about the DeepHenry, a deep learning-based extractor for inductance extraction of voxelized interconnects. I will share our results showing that deep learning-based DeepHenry is indeed 1157x faster than physics-based VoxHenry, while providing self/mutual inductances and self resistances of the interconnects with less than 4% error.

The Analog Designers Toolbox (ADT): Towards A New Paradigm for Analog IC Design (August 10, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/96350 96350-21792295@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, August 10, 2022 12:00pm

The integrated circuit (IC) technology has witnessed an exponential advancement in the last decades and has changed every aspect in our life. On the other hand, the analog IC design flow did not experience any major change since the introduction of Berkeley SPICE in the 1970s, posing significant challenges to the design of complex systems in nanometer technologies and to the transfer of analog design expertise and knowledge. The Analog Designer’s Toolbox (ADT) is a new analog design productivity and automation tool that addresses this problem and defines a new paradigm in analog IC design. ADT provides a turnkey solution that enables everyone to reap the benefits of the gm/ID design methodology powered by precomputed lookup tables (LUTs). At the device level, ADT gives an easy interface to automatically size devices given their performance metrics and plot arbitrary design charts involving complex expressions. The designer can explore devices from different technologies at different corners and temperatures, and extract simulator-accurate design points while taking second-order effects into consideration. At the block level, ADT gives the designer the power of interactive design space exploration, agile constraints management, design trade-offs visualization, live tuning, and blazing speed optimization. Moreover, with a single click, ADT can build the testbenches in the background and report the results from your favorite simulator. The aim of ADT is to boost productivity, restore designer’s intuition, and make the design process systematic, optimized, and fun!

Materials Science & Engineering is hosting its 2022 Van Vlack Lectureship with speaker Susan Sinnottt, a materials computational expert. The lecture is free and open to the public.

Abstract:
A driving force for research is the discovery and design of new materials to improve existing technologies or enable new applications. Material modeling methods are now widely applied in pursuit of this objective. This presentation will review the evolution of some common material modeling methods and their integration with cutting-edge experimental techniques. Illustrative applications will be discussed within the context of layered or two-dimensional materials and porous aromatic framework materials. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of the future outlook of materials modeling within the context of material design and discovery.

A 300-GHz 52-mW CMOS Receiver with On-Chip LO Generation (October 7, 2022 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99912 99912-21798872@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 7, 2022 3:00pm

The 300-GHz band holds great potential for high-speed data communication. With the creation of the IEEE 802.15.3d standard in 2017 for radios operating in the unlicensed frequency band from 252 GHz to 322 GHz, there is now heightened interest in developing terahertz transceivers. Moreover, a number of researchers have demonstrated the viability of such radios in CMOS technology, portraying a promising future. These examples consume between 140 mW and 650 mW and employ off-chip local oscillators (LOs).

In this presentation, we contend that the feasibility of terahertz data-communication radios hinges upon their power consumption. We then present a fully-integrated receiver that employs a heterodyne architecture with 270-GHz and 30-GHz local oscillators to alleviate phase mismatch issues. The system incorporates three on-chip phase-locked loops to generate the LO phases for both downconversions. Realized in 28-nm CMOS technology, the prototype exhibits a noise figure of 16-20 dB, a gain of 17-21dB, and a 1-dB compression point of -17.3 dBm. The phase noise of the 270-GHz PLL is -105 dBc/Hz at 10-MHz offset, amounting to an integrated jitter of 106 fs from 10 kHz to 10 MHz. The compact design occupies an active area of 0.06 mm2.

I have been studying skeletal development and homeostasis for over 25 years. I am interested in understanding the molecular and metabolic regulation of skeletal cell types both in the embryo and in adults under normal or pathological conditions. The work has led to new insights into the metabolic features of chondrocytes, osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Studies of Hh, Wnt, Bmp and Notch signaling have uncovered metabolic reprogramming as a common link for developmental signals to regulate the fate and activity of skeletal cells. In a separate line of work, we have sought to elucidate the molecular identify and regulation of mesenchymal stem and progenitor cells in bone. This pursuit has led to the discovery of Gli1+ mesenchymal progenitors as the main source for osteoblasts in growing bones (Shi et al., 2017, Nat Commun., PMC
5725597). More recently, we have demonstrated a critical role for the Gli1+ progenitors in mediating the bone
anabolic role of teriparatide, the main bone anabolic therapy for osteoporosis (Shi et al, 2021, Cell Rep, in
press). The current proposal extends our work on mesenchymal progenitors and builds on the discovery of a
potential adipo-osteoprogenitor in the adult bone marrow. Completion of the proposed study is expected to
uncover the role of the newly discovered progenitors in bone homeostasis, skeletal aging and diabetic
osteopenia.

Immunity at the oral mucosal barrier surface (October 27, 2022 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/99907 99907-21798867@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, October 27, 2022 12:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Office of Research School of Dentistry

My research has been focused on oral mucosal immunity with an emphasis on aberrant inflammatory conditions of
the oral cavity. Over the past decade I have established an independent research program at the NIH aimed at
understanding the molecular and cellular basis of oral immunity in health and in the common inflammatory disease,
periodontitis. In health, the oral immune system maintains a delicate balance with a rich and diverse community of
oral commensals, performing immune surveillance while preventing inflammation. Understanding mechanisms
involved in susceptibility and pathogenesis of periodontitis is not only critical for understanding the disease itself,
but may provide insights into shared mechanisms involved in inflammatory diseases. In periodontitis, the
microbiome is considered a key disease trigger, but it is also well documented that disease occurs and progresses
more rapidly in susceptible individuals. Our studies are focused on host/microbe interactions preserving health and
mediating inflammatory disease in the oral cavity. Ultimately, we aim to define key pathways involved in
susceptibility and progression of aggressive forms of periodontitis with the goal of identifying therapeutic targets.
Our program implements a bench to bedside approach for the study of periodontal immunity and is particularly
focused on the regulation of Th17 immunity in health and periodontitis. Our studies leverage the diverse strengths
of the NIH intramural environment and interrogate mechanisms involved in human oral immunity through the study
of patients with monogenic immune disorders, supplemented by relevant animal models and novel immunologic
techniques for the study of tissue immunity.
