On the Front Lines - When Nature Strikes
Natural disasters can bring death and destruction to communities in the United States and around the world, but they can also teach us about Earth's natural processes. Teams of scientists are gathering new information about dangerous natural events, using ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

Epithelial molecules shaping immunosurveillance by local T cells
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
The thesis of conventional immunology is centralized control whereby responses to infection within tissues are decided within lymph nodes, from which effector T lymphocytes are dispatched to quell regional disturbances. But this cannot explain the observation that many tissues at steady state are T cell-rich. Do such cells simply provide responses to infection or do they provide more generalized means to sustain tissue integrity and organ function? Likewise, how are such cells able to respond to acute stress but not drive constitutive tissue inflammation? And, how do immune cell –...

Slick surfaces in nature are inspiring a new class of materials
The natural world has many tricks to teach us about efficiency and design. Take the carnivorous pitcher plant: its super slippery surface acts like a slide for unsuspecting ants that can't stop themselves from sliding right into the plant and becoming dinner. A mechanical engineer at Penn State ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

High-Throughput Machine Learning from EHR Data
The widespread use of electronic health records and the many recent successes of machine learning raise at least two natural questions. How well can future health events of patients be predicted from EHR data, at various lengths of time in advance? And how can such predictions improve human health? This talk answers the first question via a new approach called " high-throughput machine learning, " and it speculates about answers to the second question. In particular, this talk argues that many healthcare applications require not just accurate prediction, but accurate prediction by causally-faithful models. Causal discovery...

How to Hit HIV Where It Hurts
Immunology Interest Group Seminar Series
No medical procedure has saved more lives than vaccination. But, today, some pathogens have evolved which have defied successful vaccination using the empirical paradigms pioneered by Pasteur and Jenner. One characteristic of many pathogens for which successful vaccines do not exist is that they present themselves in various guises. HIV is an extreme example because of its high mutability. This highly mutable virus can evade natural or vaccine induced immune responses, often by mutating at multiple sites linked by compensatory interactions. I will first describe how by bringing to t...
