Abstract:
Matter at extreme pressures, temperatures, and densities characterizes a wide variety of natural and man-made phenomena, including interiors of Jovian size planets, hyper-velocity meteor impacts, the burning core of stars, thermonuclear burning inertial confinement fusion capsules. Matter at these conditions defines the exciting and challenging field of High Energy Density Physics (HEDP). Besides vast experimental resources, there exists a rich set of computational tools that model the micro to macro regimes of HEDP. Recently, there has been a resurgence in interest in using a “simpler” approach to investigating HEDP based on quantum hydrodynamics. Quantum Hydrodynamics (QHD) has a long and interesting history, dating back to the first developments by Madelung and Bohm. In this talk, we discuss the historical and recent developments in QHD, including pitfalls, as applied to quantum many-body systems relevant to HEDP regimes. We will present three different approaches to deriving the QHD equations-Madelung, Bloch, and Wigner and discuss their pros and cons. Finally, the role that Rayleigh-Taylor hydrodynamic instabilities play is discussed within the QHD formalism.

Abstract: Metabolomics is a powerful approach to characterize small molecules produced in cells, tissues, and other biological systems. Metabolites are direct products of enzymatic reactions and provide a snapshot of cellular activities. Metabolomics-based research has already had a profound impact on biomarker discovery, nutritional analysis, and other biomedical and biological discoveries. The most pressing problem in metabolomics however is identifying compounds in the sample-under-study from the metabolomics measurements. Current analysis tools are capable of annotating only a small portion of sample measurements.

In this talk, we present machine learning solutions to three challenges related to the interpretation of metabolomics data. To mimic the function of a mass spectrometer in generating a mass spectrum, we use graph neural networks to translate a molecular structure into its respective spectral signature. To interpret the biological measurements in the context of the biological sample, we use Bayesan learning to deduce the likelihood of pathway activities. To suggest putative candidate molecules that are biologically relevant matches to the measured spectra, we explore several methods for predicting possible enzymatic products. We discuss several results, highlighting the value of using machine learning for advancing metabolomics analysis.

Abstract:

Oncogenic RAS mutations are associated with tumor resistance to radiation therapy. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Emergent cell-cell interactions in the tumor microenvironment (TME) profoundly influence therapy outcomes. The nature of these interactions and their role in Ras tumor radioresistance remain unclear. Using Drosophila and human Ras cancer cells we discovered that oncogenic Ras co-opts genotoxic stress-induced p53 function to drive tumor recurrence via paracrine JAK/STAT signaling in the TME.
p53 is heterogeneously activated in Ras tumor tissues in response to irradiation. This mosaicism allows high p53-expressing Ras clones to stimulate JAK/STAT cytokines, which activate JAK/STAT in the nearby low p53-expressing resistant Ras clones, leading to robust tumor re-establishment. Blocking any part of this cell-cell communication loop re-sensitizes Ras tumor cells to irradiation. This finding suggests that coupling STAT inhibitors to radiotherapy might improve clinical outcomes for Ras cancer patients.

Dr. Nozomi Ando - Assistant Professor of Chemistry & Chemical Biology, Cornell University

*"Protein Allostery: Evolution and Correlated Motions"*

Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99976448506

ABSTRACT: Understanding the relationship between protein sequence, structure, dynamics, and function is the ultimate goal of structural biology. For this reason, my lab studies protein allostery - a special property of macromolecules that connects molecular motion and action. In this talk, I'll present two stories. First, I'll talk about how the evolution of allosteric mechanisms and the tools of structural biology can teach us about the relationship between protein sequence and function. In the second story, I'll talk about how one can learn about correlated motions that give rise to allostery.

About the Event:
Creating a strong purpose is essential to wellbeing in our lives and our organizations during times of uncertainty. With an authentic purpose, individuals and organizations become more resilient, creative, and engaged with their work and the world around them. And employees realize a greater sense of meaning and empowerment.

Join us for a conversation with Vic Strecher hosted by Robert E. Quinn to learn more about the science and practice of building purposeful, thriving organizations. Together, they’ll explore the current scientific research illustrating the positive impact an authentic and well-communicated purpose can have on individuals, teams, and organizations, as well as some keys to help you unlock your own potential.

About Strecher:
Victor J. Strecher (pronounced Streker), PhD, MPH is a visionary leader and expert in the fields of behavior change, digital communication, and wellbeing. His pioneering research led to successful ventures, reaching millions of lives. He’s Founder & CEO of Kumanu, a next generation wellbeing company, Professor at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, renowned speaker, and author.

In 1995, Vic founded the U-M Center for Health Communications Research, studying the future of digitally-tailored health communications when fewer than 15% of Americans had Internet access. In 1997, he founded HealthMedia, a digital health coaching company that was sold to Johnson & Johnson in 2010. More recently, Vic created Kumanu (Maori for “nourish” and “cherish”), a digital platform designed to help individuals and organizations live more purposefully.

Vic and the organizations he founded have won numerous national and international awards, including two Smithsonian Awards, the Health Evolution Partners Innovations in Healthcare Award, the National Business Coalition on Health’s Mercury Award, and the Health Enhancement Research Organization’s (HERO) Mark Dundon Research Award. In 2010, Vic won the University of Michigan’s Distinguished Innovator Award. In late 2017, Dr. Strecher was the Donald A. Dunstan Foundation’s “Thinker in Residence” in Adelaide, Australia to develop a “Purpose Economy” of business, government, and communities. His 2009 TedMed presentation has been cited by MPHonline as one of the “Top 10 Ted Talks on Public Health.”

His latest neuroscience, behavioral, and epidemiologic research; his two books, Life On Purpose and the graphic novel On Purpose; his free massive open online course Finding Purpose and Meaning in Life, which in its first six months has over 75,000 enrollees; and the Purposeful application his business (Kumanu) created are all focused on the importance of developing and maintaining a transcending purpose in life.

About Quinn:
Robert E. Quinn’s life mission is to inspire positive change. He does this as a faculty member, author, consultant, and speaker. He is a professor emeritus at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business and one of the co-founders of the Center for Positive Organizations.

As an author he has published 18 books. His best-selling volume, Deep Change, has been used across the world. His book, The Best Teacher in You, won the Ben Franklin Award designating it the best book in education for 2015. The Harvard Business Review has selected his paper, “Moments of Greatness: Entering the Fundamental State of Leadership,” as one of their 10 Must Reads on Managing Yourself.

As a consultant he has 35 years of experience and is best known for the competing values framework, a tool that has been used by tens of thousands of managers. As a speaker he is recognized for drawing on research, opening minds to possibility, and arousing the desire to grow. He is a fellow of the Academy of Management and the World Business Academy.

Series Sponsors:

This research project uses location data gathered from WiFi access points on campus to model the mobility patterns of students in order to inform the planning of educational activities that can minimize the transmission risk.
The first aim is to understand the general mobility patterns of students on campus to identify physical spaces associating with a high-risk of transmission. For example, we can extract insights from WiFi data about which locations are the busiest during which time of the day, how much time was typically spent at each location, and how do these mobility patterns change over time. The second aim is to understand how students share the same physical spaces on campus (e.g. attending a lecture, meeting in the same room, sharing the same dorm). Students are presumably in a close proximity when they are connected to the same WiFi access point. We model a student-to-student network from their co-location activities and use its network centrality measures as proxies of transmission risk (i.e. students in the center of a network would have a higher chance of getting exposed to COVID-19 than those in the periphery). We then correlate network centrality measures with academic information (e.g. class schedule, course enrollment, study major, year of study, gender, ethnicity) to determine whether certain features of the academic record are related to transmission risk. For example, we can identify which groups of students are more vulnerable to potential infections by associating with a high network centrality. Insights from this research project will inform the University of Michigan’s strategies for the recovery of educational activities post-pandemic with empirical evidence of students’ mobility pattern on campus as well as factors that associate with a high-risk of transmission.

The proliferation of digital information in all human experiences presents difficult challenges and offers unique opportunities of managing, modeling, analyzing, interpreting, and visualizing heterogeneous data. There is a substantial need to develop, validate, productize, and support novel mathematical techniques, advanced statistical computing algorithms, transdisciplinary tools, and effective artificial intelligence apps.

Spacekime analytics is a new technique for modeling high-dimensional longitudinal data, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This approach relies on extending the notions of time, events, particles, and wave functions to complex-time (kime), complex-events (kevents), data and inference-functions, respectively. This talk will illustrate how the kime-magnitude (longitudinal time order) and kime-direction (phase) affect the subsequent predictive analytics and the induced scientific inference. The mathematical foundation of spacekime calculus reveals various statistical implications including inferential uncertainty and a Bayesian formulation of spacekime analytics. Complexifying time allows the lifting of all commonly observed processes from the classical 4D Minkowski spacetime to a 5D spacetime manifold, where a number of interesting mathematical problems arise.

Spacekime analytics transforms time-varying data, such as time-series observations, into higher-dimensional manifolds representing complex-valued and kime-indexed surfaces (kime-surfaces). This process uncovers some of the intricate structure in high-dimensional data that may be intractable in the classical space-time representation of the data. In addition, the spacekime representation facilitates the development of innovative data science analytical methods for model-based and model-free scientific inference, derived computed phenotyping, and statistical forecasting. Direct neuroscience science applications of spacekime analytics will be demonstrated using simulated data and clinical observations (e.g., UK Biobank).

Challenges in dynamic mode decomposition (November 10, 2020 11:30am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79207 79207-20231448@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 10, 2020 11:30am

Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) is a powerful tool in extracting spatio-temporal patterns from multi-dimensional time series. DMD takes in time series data and computes eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a finite-dimensional linear model that approximates the infinite-dimensional Koopman operator which encodes the dynamics. DMD is used successfully in many fields: fluid mechanics, robotics, neuroscience, and more. Two of the main challenges remaining in DMD research are noise sensitivity and issues related to Krylov space closure when modeling nonlinear systems. In our work, we encountered great difficulty in reconstructing time series from multilegged robot data. These are oscillatory systems with slow transients, which decay only slightly faster than a period.
Here we present an investigation of possible sources of difficulty by studying a class of systems with linear latent dynamics which are observed via multinomial observables. We explore the influences of dataset metrics, the spectrum of the latent dynamics, the normality of the system matrix, and the geometry of the dynamics. Our numerical models include system and measurement noise. Our results show that even for these very mildly nonlinear conditions, DMD methods often fail to recover the spectrum and can have poor predictive ability. We show that for a system with a well-posed system matrix, having a dataset with more initial conditions and shorter trajectories can significantly improve the prediction. With a slightly ill-conditioned system matrix, a moderate trajectory length improves the spectrum recovery. Our work provides a self-contained framework on analyzing noise and nonlinearity, and gives generalizable insights dataset properties for DMD analysis.

Abstract: Life history theory focuses on characteristics of organisms, such as size and age at maturity or tradeoffs between egg number and egg size. It studies how such traits vary as evolutionary responses to natural selection that optimize fitness. One needs to know such characteristics to understand behavior and to design successful conservation strategies. A critical step in such studies is to have the right fitness function. Most theoretical ecologists concerned with life history traits work with one of the classic fitness functions: the intrinsic rate of natural increase r, the net reproductive number R₀, or Fisher’s reproductive value of a female of age x, Vₓ. Their choice among these three is sometimes driven by mathematical parsimony. Working with semelparous and iteroparous Great Lakes salmon, we find that different fitness functions can lead to very different adaptive behaviors to environmental changes. This observation sheds light on just which fitness function may be operational for a given species.

Novel Tools to Increase the Reliability and Reproducibility of Population Genetics Research (November 11, 2020 9:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79208 79208-20231449@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 11, 2020 9:00am

Advances in population genetic research have the potential to create numerous important advances in the science of population dynamics. The interplay of micro-level biology and macro-level social sciences documents gene–environment–phenotype interactions and allows us to examine how genetics relates to child health and wellbeing. However, traditional genetics research is based on nonrepresentative samples that deviate from the target population, such as convenience and volunteer samples. This lack of representativeness may distort association studies. Recent findings have provoked concern about misinterpretation, irreproducibility and lack of generalizability, exemplifying the need to leverage survey research with genetics for population-based research. This project is motivated by the research team’s collaborative work on the Fragile Family and Child Wellbeing Study and the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study, which present these common problems in population genetics studies, to advance the integration of genetic science into population dynamics research. The project will evaluate sample selection effects, identify population heterogeneity in polygenic score analysis, and develop strategies to adjust for selection bias in the association studies of educational attainment, cognition status and substance use for child health and wellbeing. This interdisciplinary project will strengthen the validity and generalizability of population genetics research, deepen new understandings of human behavior and facilitate advances in population science.

An end-to-end deep learning system for rapid analysis of the breath metabolome with applications in critical care illness and beyond (November 11, 2020 9:20am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79211 79211-20231452@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 11, 2020 9:20am

The metabolome is the set of low-molecular-weight metabolites and its quantification represents a summary of the physiological state of an organism. Metabolite concentration levels in biospecimens are important for many critical care health illnesses like sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Sepsis is responsible for 35% of patients who die in the hospital and ARDS has a mortality rate of 40%. Missing data is a common challenge in metabolomics datasets. Many metabolomics investigators impute fixed values for missing metabolite concentrations and this imputation approach leads to lower statistical power, biased parameter estimates, and reduced prediction accuracy. Certain applications of metabolomics data, like breath analysis by gas chromatography, used for the prediction or detection of ARDS, can be done without the quantification of individual metabolites. This would circumvent the quantification step of individual metabolites, eliminating the missing data problem. Our team has developed a rapid gas chromatography breath analyzer, which has been challenged by missing data, a time-consuming process of breath signature alignment, and the following quantification of metabolites across patients. Analyzing the breath signal directly could eliminate these challenges. End-to-end deep learning systems are neural networks that operate directly on a raw data source and make a prediction directly for the target application. These systems have been successful in diverse fields from speech recognition to medicine. We envision an end-to-end deep learning that leverages transfer learning, from the collection of many healthy samples, that could rapidly multiply the applications of our breath analyzer. The end-to-end deep learning system will enhance our breath analyzer so it could be used more efficiently in areas of the intensive care unit to the battlefield to identity patients or soldiers with critical illnesses like sepsis and ARDS and monitor longitudinal changes in breath metabolites.

Machine learning-guided equations for the on-demand prediction of natural gas storage capacities of materials for vehicular applications (November 11, 2020 9:40am) https://events.umich.edu/event/79212 79212-20231453@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 11, 2020 9:40am

Transportation is responsible for nearly one-third of the world’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emission because of burning fossil fuel. While we dream for zero-carbon vehicles, future projections suggest little decline in fossil fuel consumption by the transportation sector until 2050. Therefore, ‘bending the curve’ of CO2 emission prompts the adoption of low-cost and reduced-emission alternative fuels. Natural gas (NG), the most abundant fossil fuel on earth, is such an alternative with nearly 25% lower carbon footprint and lower price compared to its gasoline counterpart. However, the widespread adoption of natural gas as a vehicular fuel is hindered by the scarcity of high-capacity, light-weight, low-cost, and safe storage systems. Recently, materials-based natural gas storage for vehicular applications have become one of the most viable options. Especially, nanoporous materials (NPMs) are in the spotlight of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) because of their exceptional energy storage capacities. However, the number of such NPMs is nearly infinite. It is unknown, a priori, which materials would have the expected natural gas storage capacity. Therefore, searching a high-performing material is like ‘finding a needle in a haystack’ that slows down the speed of materials discovery against growing technological demand. Here we present a novel approach of developing machine learning-guided equations for the on-demand prediction of energy storage capacities of NPMs using a few physically meaningful structural properties. These equations provide users the ability to calculate energy storage capacity of an arbitrary NPM rapidly using only paper and pencil. We show the utility of these equations by predicting NG storage of over 500,000 covalent-organic frameworks (COFs), a class of NPMs. We discovered a COF with record-setting NG storage capacity, surpassing the unmet target set by DOE. In principle, the data-driven approach presented here might be relevant to other disciplines including science, engineering, and health care.

Space weather has impacts on Earth ranging from rare, immensely disruptive events (e.g., electrical blackouts caused by solar flares and coronal mass ejections) to more frequent impacts (e.g., satellite GPS interference from fluctuations in the Earth’s ionosphere caused by rapid variations in the solar extreme UV emission). Earth-impacting events are driven by changes in the Sun’s magnetic field; we now have myriad instruments capturing petabytes worth of images of the Sun at a variety of wavelengths, resolutions, and vantage points. These data present opportunities for learning-based computer vision since the massive, well-calibrated image archive is often accompanied by physical models. This talk will describe some of the work that we have been doing to start integrating computer vision and space physics by learning mappings from one image or representation of the Sun to another. I will center the talk on a new system we have developed that emulates parts of the data processing pipeline of the Solar Dynamics Observatory’s Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (SDO/HMI). This pipeline produces data products that help study and serve as boundary conditions for solar models of the energetic events alluded to above. Our deep-learning-based system emulates a key component hundreds of times faster than the current method, potentially opening doors to new applications in near-real-time space weather modeling. In keeping with the goals of the symposium, however, I will focus on some of the benefits close collaboration has enabled in terms of understanding how to frame the problem, measure success of the model, and even set up the deep network.

EEB Virtual Seminar: Algal microbiomes alter competitive interactions between their hosts (November 12, 2020 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/79098 79098-20207879@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 12, 2020 3:00pm

Phytoplankton communities are responsible for half of Earth’s net primary productivity and their community composition is a regulator of many biogeochemical cycles and food web dynamics. Bacteria associated with phytoplankton have been shown to affect host fitness, either negatively or positively, but how these associated microbiomes influence phytoplankton interspecific interactions and coexistence remains untested. We carried out a series of experiments using both eukaryotic green algae as well as the harmful bloom-forming cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa to test whether microbiomes alter the strength of interactions among their hosts. Specifically, we tested whether microbiomes altered the sensitivity of its host to compete with an established species by performing competition assays between hosts grown either without or with associated bacteria. Among eukaryotic green algae, we found that host microbiomes reduced the sensitivity of phytoplankton to interspecific competition in half of all pairwise comparisons tested. Although microbiomes changed the magnitude of interspecific interactions, bacteria did not fundamentally alter the type of host ecological interaction observed (i.e., competition vs. facilitation). For competition between M. aeruginosa and green algae, we found that host-associated bacteria increased population densities of M. aeruginosa when competing with an established green algal culture. Conversely, when M. aeruginosa was dominant, green algae were only able to grow in the absence of host-associated bacteria. Our results suggest a sizable role of host-associated bacteria in the competitive and facilitative interactions that control phytoplankton biodiversity and community composition, including their importance in the establishment and persistence of freshwater cyanobacterial blooms.

*“Collagen: a fascinating responsive material building block from Nature”*

Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96009492561

Abstract: Multicellular life is scaffolded by structures that maintain cells in the desired locations and organizations. Conventionally these extracellular scaffolds have been viewed as rigid, unchanging supports laid down during development and unaltered except by injury or disease. Recent scientific advances are revealing instead that these matrices are highly dynamic and respond to changes in their local microenvironment, in turn affecting cells. The collagen family of proteins has been selected via evolution as the preferred building block of these extracellular structures.

In this talk, I will introduce some of the fascinating physical properties of the unique triple-helix structure of collagen, and will highlight the results of our investigations into its mechanical properties. Our single-molecule approaches include centrifuge force microscopy, optical tweezers and atomic force microscopy, and many parallels can be drawn with the mechanics of DNA. Our work is revealing clues as to how stability is encoded within collagen’s sequence, and how collagen’s triple helix balances structural stability with responsiveness to applied force and chemical environment.

Organized By: LSA Technology Services

This workshop will give attendees the opportunity to learn from NEH senior program officer, Jennifer Serventi, about the many funding opportunities offered by the Endowment. She will cover the programs offered by the Divisions of Research Programs, Education Programs, Preservation and Access, Public Programs, and the Offices of Digital Humanities and Challenge Grants. In her presentation, she will address two related questions: 1) What opportunities are available to faculty and staff, with a particular focus on support for digital projects? and, 2) What kinds of strategies can they employ to take advantage of them?

She also will discuss ways that faculty and staff can participate in NEH projects and special initiatives beyond applying for an award directly from NEH. Examples of these opportunities include serving as a peer review panelist, advising documentary films, evaluating archival collections as an advisory board member, participating in educational seminars and institutes, conducting research with support of a fellowship from an independent research institution, or becoming involved in the work of state humanities councils.

Speaker Bio:
Jennifer Serventi is a Senior Program Officer in the Office of Digital Humanities. She coordinates the Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities program and also works extensively with the Digital Humanities Advancement Grants program. Prior to joining ODH in 2007, she served in NEH's Divisions of Research and Education Programs. Before coming to the Endowment in 1994, she was a staff member at the Institute of Museum and Library Services. She received her BA in history and government from Claremont McKenna College in Claremont, California. Her mother is a native Detroiter and her uncle and a cousin attended the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. She is also a fan of Zingerman’s mail order.

BIO:
Ryan Brown's research interests span multiple fields of applied microeconomics including development economics, labor economics, health economics, economic demography, and political economy.

Ryan's work has primarily focused on applying econometric techniques to population representative data in both developed and developing country settings, to examine how changes in the social, physical, and/or economic environment can have a persistent impact on health, preferences, and human capital accumulation. Recently, I have also begun to explore the relationship between the success of women competing for positions in entry-level positions and its subsequent impact on the gender gap at the top of the career ladder.

PSC Brown Bag seminars highlight recent research in population studies and serve as a focal point for building our research community.

ABSTRACT: Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) have proven to be an effective therapeutic platform for the treatment of disease. These short, single-stranded, modified nucleotides function by base-pairing with the complementary sequence of an RNA and modulating gene expression in a manner that is dependent on the ASO design and targeting site. We have used ASOs to normalize aberrant gene expression associated with a number of diseases of the nervous system including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease and Usher syndrome. One of our approaches is under development for the treatment of CLN3 Batten disease, a fatal, pediatric lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in a gene encoding the lysosomal membrane protein CLN3. The most common mutation associated with CLN3 Batten is a deletion of exons 7 and 8 (CLN3Δex78), which disrupts the mRNA open reading frame by creating a premature termination codon that results in the production of a truncated protein. We devised a therapeutic strategy for treating CLN3 Batten Disease using an ASO that basepairs to CLN3 pre-mRNA and alters splicing to correct the open reading frame of the mutated transcript. Treatment of CLN3Δex78 neonatal mice by intracerebroventricular injection of the ASO resulted in the desired splicing effect throughout the central nervous system, improved motor deficits associated with the disease in mice, reduced histopathological features of the disease in the brain and extended life in a severe mouse model of the disease. Our results demonstrate that ASO-mediated reading frame correction is a promising therapeutic approach for CLN3 Batten disease.

KEYWORDS: pre-mRNA splicing, Antisense oligonucleotides, Usher syndrome, Batten Disease, lysosomal storage diseases

The final CCAT Research Review of 2020 will feature Associate Professor, Gabor Orosz, of the University of Michigan.

The focus of this research is the deployment of connected smart infrastructure on highway I-275 in SE Michigan. Researchers will collect and aggregate traffic information that can be used by connected vehicles traveling the corridor to improve their efficiency. The system consists of a set of road side units (RSU) which collect traffic data via vehicle-to-everything (CV2X) communication. Vehicles of different levels of automation may utilize the collected data when selecting their lane and controlling their longitudinal motion in order to maximize their fuel economy and minimize their travel time. The impact of these vehicles on the rest of the traffic flow is also being evaluated.

About the speaker: Gabor Orosz received the MSc degree in Engineering Physics from the Budapest University of Technology, Hungary, in 2002 and the PhD degree in Engineering Mathematics from the University of Bristol, UK, in 2006. He held postdoctoral positions at the University of Exeter, UK and at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In 2010, he joined the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor where he is currently an Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering and in Civil and Environmental Engineering. During 2017-2018 he was a Visiting Professor in Control and Dynamical Systems at the California Institute of Technology. His research interests include nonlinear dynamics and control, time delay systems, and reinforcement learning with applications to connected and automated vehicles, traffic flow, and biological networks. He served as the Program Chair of the 2015 IFAC Workshop on Time Delay Systems and served as the General Chair of the 2019 IAVSD Workshop on Dynamics of Road Vehicles: Connected and Automated Vehicles. Since 2018 he has been serving as an editor for the journal Transportation Research Part C.

Complex Systems Seminar Special Event | Searching for the densest network that does not always synchronize (November 17, 2020 2:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/78499 78499-20052321@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, November 17, 2020 2:30pm

PLEASE NOTE THE START TIME OF 2:30 PM!

ALSO NOTE, THIS SEMINAR WILL BE RECORDED.

SEMINAR LINK: myumi.ch/v2ZYv

Abstract: Consider a network of identical phase oscillators with sinusoidal coupling. How likely are the oscillators to globally synchronize, starting from random initial phases? One expects dense networks to have a strong tendency to synchronize and the basin of attraction for the synchronous state to be the whole phase space (except for a set of measure zero). But, how dense is dense enough? In this (hopefully) entertaining Zoom talk, we use techniques from nonlinear dynamics, numerical linear algebra, and computational algebraic geometry to derive the densest known networks that do *not* synchronize and the sparsest networks that do. This is joint work with Alex Townsend and Mike Stillman.

Research is essential to the infrastructure of education and plays a prominent role in driving curriculum, policy, and professional practice. Therefore, engineering education research (EER) is critical to driving the impetus and approach to racial equity within engineering education and practice. This presentation will spotlight how anti-Blackness is embedded in EER practices and delineate its roots in America’s systemic racism. Centering the experience of Black people within the engineering education community helps reframe the problem of racial/ethnic exclusion, while generating a new way forward through pro-Black EER (PEER). PEER uses critical methodologies, frameworks, and intentional citation practices to assert the genius of Black people.

Abstract: Genetic variation affecting gene expression is wide-spread within and among species. This variation reflects the combined actions of mutation introducing new genetic variants and selection eliminating deleterious ones. Comparative studies of gene expression in fruit flies, yeast, plants, and mice have shown that the relative contributions of cis- and trans-acting variants to expression differences change over evolutionary time, indicating that selection has different effects on cis- and trans-regulatory variants. To better understand the reasons for this now widely observed pattern, we have been systematically studying the effects of mutation and selection on expression of the TDH3 gene of the baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This work has revealed differences between cis- and trans-regulatory mutations in their frequency, effects, and dominance. Differences in pleiotropy are also generally assumed to exist between cis- and trans-regulatory that affect their evolutionary fate, but have been difficult to measure. In this talk, I will discuss how newly arising cis- and trans-regulatory mutations affecting expression of this focal gene are structured within the regulatory network, their pleiotropic effects on expression of all other genes in the genome, and how these pleiotropic effects influence fitness. A computational model of regulatory evolution integrating empirically observed differences in properties of cis- and trans-regulatory mutations will also be presented and discussed.

Organized By: Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Understanding the processes that shape ecological communities is one of the main goals of ecology. Multiple dynamic models of ecological communities have been developed, but they are typically tested by examining static patterns such as Species Abundance Distributions. Much less is known about the ability of these theories to explain the actual dynamics that are observed in ecological communities.

I focused on the two most minimalistic models of community dynamics, the Neutral Theory of Biodiversity (NTB) and Dynamic Equilibrium theory (DE). For both theories, I asked: 1) can the model explain observed patterns of community dynamics? 2) if not, what processes need to be added to explain community dynamics?

I have found that the magnitude of changes in abundances and species composition in the Barro Colorado Island forest community is considerably larger than expected under NTB. However, incorporating environmental fluctuations into the theory allows explaining patterns of richness, commonness and rarity, and dynamics in that forest. In my work on DE, I have used a novel methodology to show that both the assumptions and the predictions of the theory are violated in thousands of communities worldwide. I have found that there are larger temporal changes in species richness than expected, which are associated with a positive covariance between species, representing the shared response to environmental changes.

Overall, while most previous work in community ecology has emphasized the role of competition in shaping ecological communities, my results demonstrate the crucial role of environmental changes as a driver of community assembly.

*"Small drug-like molecules targeting RNA with nanomolar affinity and cellular activityon"*

Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/99793210061

ABSTRACT: The ever expanding appreciation of the role of RNA in healthy and disease cellular states has created ever increasing opportunities to redress human disease by targeting RNA with small molecules. However, the chemistry of small molecules targeting RNA remains a challenge. The academic literature has been littered since the mid-1990s with reports of small molecules binding to RNA that, in most cases, did not have the pharmaceutical properties of successful drug candidates and did not bind to RNA potently nor specifically. Screening protein-directed chemical libraries allows the discovery of drug-like molecules that bind to RNA, but success rates are low, typically 1/10,000, and affinity typically in the low to mid-uM range. We have discovered RNA-binding small molecules that obey Lipinski and RO5 rules and bind to RNA potently (low to mid nM) and specifically (discriminate single nucleotide changes). These molecules target RNAs considered 'undruggable' with low nM affinity. Their size (<400 Da), absence of charge, and in vitro pharmacological properties (ADME and in vitro pharmacology) are those of favorable drug candidates. We will illustrate two examples of the application of this chemistry by reporting 10 nM ligands for HIV TAR and 100 nM ligands for pre-miR-21 with specific biochemical and cellular activity against this potent oncogene.

EXERCISE AND CANCER—IS THERE A TELOMERE CONNECTION?

Presented by:
Andrew Ludlow, PhD
Assistant Professor, Movement Science
Director, Integrative Molecular Genetics Laboratory
University of Michigan School of Kinesiology

Friday, November 20
Noon–1:00PM
via Zoom at umich.zoom.us/j/99592033267 (No RSVP needed)

Abstract: In this presentation, I will focus on how exercise impacts two cellular biomarkers of aging, telomere length and telomerase enzyme activity. Telomere length and telomerase enzyme activity also have critical roles in cancer. We will explore data showing that exercise can activate telomerase in both rodents and humans, resulting in telomere length maintenance, and therefore potentially providing a mechanism of how exercise slows the aging process and reduces the risk of certain cancers. How telomerase is regulated in human stem cells, dysregulated in human lung cancers, and our future research directions will also be discussed.

Organized By: OVPR Office of Research Development

Broader Impacts refers to the potential for a research project to benefit society or advance desired societal outcomes. Having a strong Broader Impacts plan is pivotal to your chances of getting NSF funding, especially for assistant professors pursuing CAREER grants. Moreover, many foundations and private funders prioritize public engagement and impact in their grantmaking.

Whether pursuing federal or private funding, one thing is consistent--it's critical to plan ahead. Much time is needed to establish partnerships, get stakeholder buy-in, negotiate project terms and expectations, and get appropriate approvals and letters of support.

Several U-M units support these efforts and can serve as your "front door" to community engagement, including facilitating projects with K-12 schools, local non-profits, museums and an array of external partners around the state.

Join us to learn how researchers can leverage campus experts and resources to develop compelling, dynamic and successful Broader Impacts or public engagement project plans. Panelists include colleagues from the Ginsberg Center, Center for Educational Outreach, Center for Academic Innovation, Center for Education Design, Evaluation & Research (CEDER), Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research (MICHR) and the U-M Natural History Museum.

ABSTRACT:
Why is it so difficult to develop a systematic approach to modulate the recovery of consciousness from pharmacologically and pathologically induced unconsciousness? Three things are required to develop a systematic approach; a reliable neural activity that corresponds to consciousness, a reliable brain stimulation to induce the target neural activity, and a mechanism to guarantee the induced neural activity results in consciousness. However, no single neural activity or a mechanism has been identified yet as a neural correlate of consciousness, suggesting that consciousness might emerge through complex interactions of spatially and temporally distributed brain functions. Accumulating evidence from computational model and empirical studies suggest that brain criticality – a balanced state between order and disorder, stability and instability, incoherent and synchronized connectivity at a global network level, is a necessary condition for the emergence of consciousness. Thus, in our research project, we hypothesized that with modulating brain network criticality, we may be able to control the state transition during the loss and recovery of consciousness in general anesthesia and coma. In this talk, I will introduce our current project that aims to develop a systematic method to precisely evaluate a brain state in altered states of consciousness and to control the emergence from unconsciousness, which is based on highly advanced methods in physics, network science, and neurobiology of consciousness.

Please join us 15 minutes before and after the seminar for a social coffee hangout. Put your speakers and video on and say hi to old friends or go to the 'lounge' and chat with an acquaintance

ISR Insights Speaker Series is a series focusing on the research happening at ISR.

Jason Owen-Smith (Executive Director, Institute for Research on Innovation & Science (IRIS); Executive Director, Research Analytics; Professor of Sociology, University of Michigan; Research Professor, Institute for Social Research)

Wednesday, December 2 at 2pm EST: https://umich.zoom.us/j/91211224326

America's most research intensive universities represent about 3% of higher education institutions, but they conduct 90% of the nation's academic research. Drawing on his recent book, Research Universities and the Public Good: Discovery for an Uncertain Future and the work of ISR's Institute for Research on Innovation & Science (IRIS), which he directs, Jason Owen-Smith will explain how these unique and essential organizations serve as an important form of "social insurance" in the face of an uncertain future. Universities like U of M are uniquely able to address "unknown unknowns," problems and opportunities we do not know we have yet. No other sector or type of organization accomplishes is equipped to serve this purpose in our society. COVID-19 puts special pressures on the academic research mission that come after more than a decade of declining public support. The pandemic and its effects jeopardize the US Academic Research Enterprise (US-ARE) and with it the future health, wealth, and well-being of our nation and the world. Drawing on unique data science resources developed at IRIS, and 20 years of work on the economic and social value of research and innovation, Owen-Smith highlights the challenges and explains how they might be addressed by federal and state policy-makers, the leaders and faculty of institutions like ours.

Abstract:
The potential to use fusion as a carbon-free, fuel-abundant energy source to meet the world’s growing energy demands has motivated significant US and international research. One research path to realize fusion energy involves tokamaks that magnetically confine hot plasmas in the shape of a torus. Almost every tokamak fusion reactor in the world relies on magnetic induction from a central solenoid to drive the current necessary to create a fusion grade plasma. Minimizing or eliminating the need for a central solenoid in a tokamak would greatly simplify the construction and reduce the cost of these devices, increasing their viability for commercial energy production. Solenoid-free startup techniques such as helicity injection (HI) and radiofrequency (RF) wave injection offer the potential of reducing the technical requirements of, or possibly the need for, a central solenoid. A major upgrade is underway for the spherical tokamak, Pegasus-III at the U of Wisconsin. The new facility will be a dedicated US platform to study innovations in plasma startup techniques, allowing for studies of both HI and RF during plasma initiation, ramp-up and sustainment. Experimental plans for RF heating and current drive in the microwave regime will be presented. The new capabilities of Pegasus-III will provide a bold test of the viability of a non-solenoidal compact tokamak using reactor relevant techniques.

About the Speaker:
Prof. Diem’s research interests are in experimental plasma physics for fusion energy development with emphasis on validating numerical models with experimental data. She focuses on utilizing radio frequency (RF) waves to heat and drive current in magnetically confined plasmas. Prof. Diem’s current research is focused on electron Bernstein wave and electron cyclotron heating and current drive experiments on Pegasus-III at UW-Madison as well as collaborations domestically and internationally on RF injection in magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Prof. Diem received her PhD in Plasma Physics from Princeton U. where she developed diagnostics to study electron Bernstein wave emission and mode conversion on the National Spherical Tokamak at the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab. She received a BS in Nuclear Engineering & Engineering Physics from UW-Madison. Prior to joining the faculty at UW-Madison, Prof. Diem was a Research and Development Staff Scientist in the Fusion Energy Division at Oak Ridge National Lab. and was on long-term assignment at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility at General Atomics in San Diego, CA.

ABSTRACT: The brain is made of networks of neurons that send information to each other via spikes. Sleep and wake are the most clearly definable brain states and each exerts unique effects upon neural network spiking activity. We used large-scale recordings in the frontal cortex of mice and rats to examine the activity of neurons during wake/sleep cycles and found that a novel form of homeostatic action is taken by sleep: homogenization of firing rates. Whereas it was previously believed that sleep simple decreased firing rates, we found that this was much more true of the most active neurons only, thereby reducing the variance of the population.

To extend this observation of homeostatic forced during sleep we also examine how sleep and wake states interact with learning and performance, which is also facilitated by sleep. We have therefore begun to record before, during and after learning sessions to determine how learning interacts with the usual homeostatic effects of sleep. Further we can also record how waking changes in brain states such as motivation and attention modulate firing and information processing by neurons during behavior itself.

Finally, our end-goal to translate these kinds of basic neurobiologic observations in healthy rodents to states of stress or treatments of stress. Unfortunately the chronic stress states of relevance to psychiatric disease do not last seconds but days and weeks. We have therefore begun to build new long-term recording environments to enable future experiments over these time-spans.

BIOGRAPHY:
Dr. Watson is an assistant professor in psychiatry at the University of Michigan. He grew up in Ann Arbor and then obtained his BA from Cornell University and his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from Columbia University. During his Ph.D. he used two-photon microscopy to study the behavior of neurons in local cortical microcircuits. During his doctoral work he also participated in technical development of multi-beam two photon imaging techniques. Upon graduation from medical school, Dr. Watson pursued a residency in Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medical College as well postdoctoral work at New York University. He received the National Institute for Mental Health’s Outstanding Resident Award, the American Psychiatric Association’s Lilly Research Fellowship and the Leon Levy Neuroscience Fellowship. He did a fellowship with Dr. Gyorgy Buzsaki at NYU to record ongoing activity in naturally behaving and sleeping animals wherein he showed that sleep reorganizes neuronal firing architecture in the neocortex in previously unknown ways. He is now combining his electrical recordings with behavioral tools to deepen his understanding of both use and regulation of cortical brain circuits.

*“Understanding Trade-offs in Biological Error Correction”*

Join us on Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/j/96475935279

Abstract: High accuracy of major biological processes relies on the ability of the participating enzymatic molecules to preferentially select the correct substrate from a pool of chemically similar substrates by activating the so-called proofreading mechanisms. While the importance of such mechanisms is widely accepted, it is still unclear how evolution has optimized the biological systems with respect to their characteristic properties. We developed a comprehensive first-passage theoretical framework that allowed us to quantitatively investigate the trade-offs between four properties of enzymatic systems namely, error, speed, noise and energy dissipation. Within this framework, we simultaneously analyzed speed and accuracy of several fundamental biological processes, including DNA replication, tRNA charging, and tRNA selection during the translation. The results indicate that contrary to typical assumptions speed-accuracy trade-off is not always observed. However, when the trade-off is present, the biological systems tend to optimize the speed rather than the accuracy of the processes, as long as the error level is tolerable. When systems function in the regime where no speed-accuracy trade-off is observed, constraints due to energy dissipation in the proofreading play a key role. Our theory demonstrates a universal Pareto front in error-dissipation trade-off and shows how naturally selected kinetic parameters position their system close to this boundary. Our findings, therefore, provide a new system-level picture of how complex biological processes are able to function so fast with a high accuracy and low dissipation.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_fCIiMkveTdq3D9-PKFLm6Q

ABSTRACT: The genomic programming of the development of complex organisms appears to have been misunderstood. The human genome contains just ~20,000 protein-coding genes, similar in number and with largely orthologous functions as those in other animals, including simple nematodes with only 1,000 somatic cells. By contrast, the extent of non-protein-coding DNA increases with increasing developmental complexity, reaching 98.8% in humans. Moreover, it is now clear that the majority of the genome is not junk but is differentially and dynamically transcribed to produce not only mRNAs but also tens if not hundreds of thousands of short and long non-protein-coding RNAs that show specific expression patterns and subcellular locations. Many of these noncoding RNAs have evolved rapidly under positive selection for adaptive radiation, and many have been shown to have important roles in development, brain function, cancer and other diseases. They function at many different levels of gene expression and cell biology, including translational control, formation of subcellular (phase-separated) domains, and guidance of the epigenetic processes and chromatin dynamics that underpin development, brain function and physiological adaptation, with plasticity enabled by RNA editing, RNA modification and retrotransposon mobilization. These discoveries mean that the assumption that combinatorial control by transcription factors and other regulatory proteins is sufficient to account for human ontogeny is incorrect, as are the circular assumptions about the neutral evolution of the genome. The challenge now is to determine the structure-function relationships of these RNAs and their mechanisms of action, as well as their place in the decisional hierarchies that control human development, physiology, learning and susceptibility to disorders.

Organized By: DCMB Seminar Series

Learning objectives:

1. Discuss the conceptual distinction and clinical utility of self-reported race/ethnicity and genetic ancestry in childhood asthma.
2. Discuss the role of genetic ancestry and socio-environmental exposures in childhood asthma.
3. Discuss ancestry-specific polygenic risk scores, precision medicine and childhood asthma disparities.

Short bio: Dr. Mersha is currently an Associate Professor in the Division of Asthma Research and leads the Population Genetics, Ancestry, and Bioinformatics (pGAB) Laboratory (https://research.cchmc.org/mershalab/Home.php).
Dr. Mersha’s research combines quantitative, ancestry and statistical genomics to unravel genetic and non-genetic contributions to complex diseases and racial disparities in human populations, particularly asthma and asthma-related allergic disorders. Much of his research is at the interface of genetic ancestry, statistics, bioinformatics, and functional genomics, and he is interested in cross-line disciplines to unravel the interplay between genome and envirome underlying asthma risk. His long-term research goal is to understand and dissect how biologic predisposition and environmental exposures interact to shape racial disparities in complex disorders.

ZOOM REGISTRATION REQUIRED: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_c9BFJM9dRGKn1WFF4L_wLg

ABSTRACT: Viruses rely heavily on RNA binding proteins for their success as pathogens. In this presentation, I will first talk about RNA tail modification which impacts viral and cellular gene expression. We found that TENT4 enzymes extend poly(A) tail of mRNAs with ‘mixed tails’ to delay deadenylation and stabilize the RNAs. Hepatitis B virus and human cytomegalovirus hijack this mechanism to efficiently stabilize their own RNAs. In the later part of my presentation, I will discuss our recent work on SARS-CoV-2. To delineate the viral transcriptomic architecture and provide a high-resolution map of SARS-CoV-2, we performed deep sequencing of infected cells. Our data define the canonical transcripts and noncanonical transcripts encoding unknown ORFs. More recently, we have also performed proteomic analyses of the SARS-CoV-2 ribonucleoprotein complex. We identify many proteins that directly interact with viral RNAs and modulate viral growth. Functional investigation of the viral transcripts and host proteins discovered in this study will open new directions to the research efforts to elucidate the life cycle and pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2.
