Lecture
Ashutosh Chilkoti: “Biomolecular Condensates from Synthetic Intrinsically Disordered Proteins: Tools for Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology”
Mini symposium talks
Dmitri Nusinow: “The role of disorder in the assembly of photoreceptor condensates in plants”
Min Kyung Shinn: “Nuclear speckle proteins form intrinsic and RNA-dependent microphases”
Hosted by the Center for Biomolecular Condensates
Join us for the final talk of the semester in the 2023-2024 Distinguished Lectures on Biomolecular Condensates Series sponsored by the Center for Biomolecular Condensates in the James McKelvey School of Engineering. Our distinguished speaker will be Dr. Ashutosh Chilkoti, the Alan Kaganov Professor of Biomedical Engineeringfrom Duke University. Dr. Chilkoti is a pioneer in the field of thermoresponsive phase transitions and the design of synthetic intrinsically disordered proteins that form condensates in different settings and have been deployed as devices and sensors in a variety of biotechnology and synthetic biology settings. The talk, scheduled for 4:15 PM on Thursday, April 11, 2024, will be presented in Whitaker Hall, Room 100, located on the east end of the Danforth campus.
The title of Dr. Chilkoti’s talk will beBiomolecular Condensates from Synthetic Intrinsically Disordered Proteins: Tools for Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology.
Dr. Chikoti’s lecture will be part of a mini symposium that will feature two 25-minute talks by members of the Center for Biomolecular Condensates. The first talk, between 3:00 PM and 3:30 PM, will be given by Dr. Dmitri Nusinow, Associate Member and PI in the Donald Danforth Plant Sciences Center. His talk will be entitled: The role of disorder in the assembly of photoreceptor condensates in plants. The second talk, between 3:35 PM and 4:05 PM will be given by Dr. Min Kyung Shinn, Postdoc in Biomedical Engineering. Her talk will be entitled: Nuclear speckle proteins form intrinsic and RNA-dependent microphases. There will be a reception following the mini symposium and lecture by Dr. Young.
