BME/OCSSB Seminar: Angular Morphomechanics in the Establishment of Multicellular Architecture of Glandular Tissues

14 Feb 2012 18:00:00 GMT

HRC 14D03
Tuesday, February 14, 2012, 10 – 11am

We address a fundamental question in morphogenesis: what are the physical laws that govern the assembly of acinar structures? We report a novel type of human cell motility where single cells undergo multiple rotations. This motion is maintained as the cells cohesively divide to assemble into polarized multicellular spherical structures (acini) when placed in a 3D basement membrane surrogate gel. We visualize the complete evolution from the single cell to an acinus. We link the functional relevance of coherent angular motion (CAMo) to spherical architecture, and determine the importance of molecules involved in cell-cell adhesion and tissue polarity to the outcome. CAMo is observed in both primary human cells and established breast cell lines where the final realized geometry is spherical.

Mindfulness Meditation Drop-in

14 Feb 2012 20:10:00 GMT

Hatfield Research Center 12D15
Tuesday, February 14, 2012, 12:10 – 12:50pm

Mindfulness is paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally. Mindfulness meditation teaches skills for being in the present moment no matter what the situation. Mindfulness meditation studies show positive outcomes in quality of life and symptoms across a variety of health issues (stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, chronic pain, and cancer). The key to getting the most out of mindfulness is PRACTICE. Mindfulness can be applied to any object of attention. For example, you can focus on your breath, sounds, thoughts, or emotions. You can also be mindful during your daily life activities like eating, cooking, or brushing your teeth.

The goal of this weekly drop-in mindfulness meditation class is to practice many different types of guided mindfulness meditations to experience which ones work best for you. Each week will highlight a different guided mindfulness meditation. No experience is required.

HOW TO FIND THE ROOM: Take the E elevators in the Hatfield Research Building to the 12th floor. Turn left as you exit the elevator. Take the first left and another first left. You will see 12D15 on your right.

Marquam Hill Lecture: What do women (and men) want? Next generation birth control and family planning

OHSU Auditorium
3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Road
Portland, OR 97239
Thursday, February 16, 2012, 7:30 – 9pm

LECTURE SUMMARY: Despite the widespread availability of contraceptives, birth control methods are used inconsistently or incorrectly and this exposes women to the risk of unintended pregnancy. Reasons for imperfect use include misperceptions about risks and fear of side effects, particularly with hormonal methods. As a physician, Jeffrey Jensen, MD, witnesses firsthand the difficulty his patients experience when dealing with the consequences of unintended pregnancy. These women and their partners inspire his dedication to develop new contraception methods.

Dr. Jensen will talk about next-generation birth control and the race to bring better choices to family planning. Dr. Jensen is the Leon Speroff Professor and Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Director of theWomen's Health Research Unit in the Center for Women's Health, and a collaborating scientist at the Oregon National Primate Research Center.

Dr. Jade Wang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular and Human Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. She also has joint faculty appointments in the Dept. of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Dept. of Molecular Virology & Microbiology, and the Program in Cell & Molecular Biology. She is also Co-Director of the Graduate Program in Cell and Molecular Biology.

She has been the recipient of several major awards while at Baylor, including the Michael E. DeBakey, M.D. Excellence in Research Award; The American Society for Microbiology Branch Lectureships; the Rosalind Franklin Young Investigator Award; and the NIH Director's New Innovator Award.

Dr. Wang received her B.Sc. degree from McGill University; her Ph.D. from the University of California, San Francisco; and was a Postdoc at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Research: Accurate DNA replication is essential for the survival and fitness of all organisms. The goal of her research is to characterize the multifaceted interface between DNA replication and other cellular processes. Through this interface, replication responds readily to metabolic and external cues; conversely, cells monitor the replication status and respond accordingly. Components of this interface are likely to play paramount roles in the maintenance of genome stability and prevention of genetic diseases and cancer. Because replication mechanisms are conserved across all of life, her work in bacteria is a broadly applicable model, focused on three major directions:
- Prevention of transcription/replication conflict
- The interface between DNA replication and the cellular environment
- The physiological role of the nucleotide (p)ppGpp in stress response

Organs are spatially organized populations of different cell types working together to carry out higher order functions. Understanding how cells are organized is important for developing the next generation of virtual organs. For example, mapping the distribution of each functional cell type in the lungs can lead to the development of more informative simulations of dose-response. In addition, cluster analysis of the organization of cells and their expressed genes allows for learning more about the functions and relationships of sub-cellular molecular pathways. Over the past decade, new imaging and computational approaches have enabled the development of more comprehensive means for capturing 3D tissue architecture as well as the distribution of cell types and cell functions throughout entire organs, leading to massive amounts of data. One way to facilitate the representation and analysis of this data is through the use of multiresolution geometric frameworks. Beyond biological organs, multiresolution spatial organization and analysis has potential applications in other important fields such as understanding microbial communities.

Mindfulness Meditation Drop-in

21 Feb 2012 20:10:00 GMT

Hatfield Research Center 12D15
Tuesday, February 21, 2012, 12:10 – 12:50pm

Mindfulness is paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally. Mindfulness meditation teaches skills for being in the present moment no matter what the situation. Mindfulness meditation studies show positive outcomes in quality of life and symptoms across a variety of health issues (stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, chronic pain, and cancer). The key to getting the most out of mindfulness is PRACTICE. Mindfulness can be applied to any object of attention. For example, you can focus on your breath, sounds, thoughts, or emotions. You can also be mindful during your daily life activities like eating, cooking, or brushing your teeth.

The goal of this weekly drop-in mindfulness meditation class is to practice many different types of guided mindfulness meditations to experience which ones work best for you. Each week will highlight a different guided mindfulness meditation. No experience is required.

HOW TO FIND THE ROOM: Take the E elevators in the Hatfield Research Building to the 12th floor. Turn left as you exit the elevator. Take the first left and another first left. You will see 12D15 on your right.
