SUMMARY:2019 Bootcamp on Mechanobiology
DESCRIPTION:Download complete event schedule booklet \nBootcamp 2019: An Integrative Approach to Understand Cell Function\nThis ten-day “Bootcamp” style course will cover fundamental concepts and practical approaches in understanding cellular functions. The focus is to develop a breadth of knowledge in quantitative techniques to allow bioscience researchers to pursue further depth in their respective research work. \nMajor topics include: gene editing\, cellular structure and processes\, statistics\, bio-imaging\, image analysis\, modeling\, and quantitative methods in biology. There will be extensive tutorials in using Matlab\, complemented by a hands-on microscopy and wet-lab sessions. Students will work as part of a team to tackle problems and to develop a report on an open area of modern bioscience research. \nThe Bootcamp lectures are open to all interested graduate students and post-docs. For graduate students the lectures will be reinforced in thematic-based practicals\, leading to 4-MC. \nDates: 1 August to 10 August 2019\nWhere: CREATE Theatrette\, Level 2\, 1 CREATE Way\, CREATE Tower\, NUS and 5A Engineering Drive 1\, T-Lab Building\, #05-01\, Seminar Rooms 1-3\, Singapore 117411 \n  \nSpeakers\n\n\n\nPlenary Speakers\nProf Michael SHEETZ\nProf LIM Chwee Teck\nAssoc Prof Antonia MONTEIRO  \nCoordinators\nAsst Prof Timothy SAUNDERS\nAssoc Prof Yusuke TOYAMA\nDr LIEU Zi Zhao\nDr MAKHIJA Ekta Parshotam\nLecturers\nAssoc Prof CARRASCO\nAsst Prof Eunyoung CHAE\nAdj Assoc Prof Gregory JEDD\nAssoc Prof Pakorn Tony KANCHANAWONG\nDr Victor KOSTYUCHENKO\nAsst Prof LOH Ne-Te\, Duane\nDr. Khin Khine Zar MON\nAsst Prof Fumio MOTEGI\nDr. Moirangthem Kiran SINGH\nProf Peter SO\nAssoc Prof WANG Hongyan\nAssoc Prof Christoph WINKLER\nProf YAN Jie\nAssoc Prof YEONG Foong May\nProf YU Hanry\n\n\n\n  \nProgramme Schedule and Registration\nThere are two types of programme schedule: \n\nOpen lectures & practical (the full-day programme is strictly for Year 1 NUS graduate students who would like to read MB5104 as graded module\, leading to 4-MC)\nOpen lectures\n\n  \n\n\n\nOpen Lectures & Practical\n\n\nFOR\nREGISTER\nSCHEDULE\n\n\n\n\nNUS graduate (Master/ PhD) students (strictly for Jan & Aug 2019 intake only)\n\nNote: This group of students will attend the full programme and read MB5104 as a graded module (leading to 4-MC). \nThis module cannot be taken as Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory (S/U) grade.\nNUS graduate students must register through their hosting department using the prescribed template. \n Download template \nDepartment administrators should compile and send the student’s details using the prescribed template to mbicsy@nus.edu.sg not later than Monday\, 15 July\, 2019. \nRegistration deadline\nMonday\, 15 July\, 2019 \n\n  \n Download programme schedule\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nOpen Lectures\n\n\nFOR\nREGISTER\nSCHEDULE\n\n\n\n\nNUS graduate students who would like to attend Bootcamp as a non-graded module (i.e.\, as a listener)\nNon-NUS graduate students\nPostdocs\nIndividuals who would like to know more about Mechanobiology\n\nNote: This group of participants will attend the open lectures only.\n  \nNo registration required\n  \n Download programme schedule\n\n\n\n  \nA confirmation email will be sent to the successful students by 19 July 2019\, Friday.

SUMMARY:MBIw: Introduction to GRIP – Creating your own start-up by Tricia Chong
DESCRIPTION:MBI Weekly Meeting Seminar\nTime: 9.30am-10.30am\nDate: Friday\, 23 August 2019\nVenue: Level 5 Seminar Room\, T-Lab \nIntroduction to GRIP – Creating your own start-up\nBy Tricia Chong\, NUS GRIP \nGRIP is a program available to post-docs and grad students for starting your own technology companies. GRIP offers structured support and advice to guide teams through the process of creating a start-up including product and market validation\, IP\, and growth strategies. This program covers an initial 3-month development period with seed funding for an additional 9 months before launch into the wider start-up ecosystem. So far GRIP has been involved in supporting over 40 teams in their business ventures. Join us at 09:30 Friday the 23rd of August for a presentation and Q&A session on what is GRIP and how to apply and grow your ideas into a fully-fledged start-up and more. In the meantime\, visit www.nusgrip.sg for more information. \n

SUMMARY:MBI PhD Defense: Investigating Dynamics Of Bile Canaliculi Under Physiological Conditions And Obstructive Cholestasis by Kapish Gupta
DESCRIPTION:MBI PhD Oral Defense\nTime: 12noon\nDate: Friday\, 30 August 2019\nVenue: Engineering Blk E3\, Room E3-06-05 \nSupervisor: Prof Hanry Yu\nCo-Supervisor: Prof Low Boon Chuan \nInvestigating Dynamics Of Bile Canaliculi Under Physiological Conditions And Obstructive Cholestasis\nby Kapish GUPTA\, Hanry Yu’s Group \nBile canaliculi (BC) expand and contract periodically to propel bile\, however\, the mechanism of BC contraction is not well understood. In the presentation I will discuss the role of intra canalicular pressure (ICP) in regulating BC dynamics via locally regulating biochemical signalling via Ca2+ sensing through Piezo-1 which in turn regulate pericanalicular actomyosin cortex (PAC) activity. I will also discuss about the homeostatic response to increased ICP wherein\, PAC breaks locally leading to the formation of local membrane protrusion. Under physiological conditions\, PAC can retract these protrusions to give rise to inward blebs (IB) like structures. However\, beyond a certain threshold ICP (or in obstructive cholestasis)\, IB bud off the BC membrane as BC derived vesicles (BCV). BCV is a mechanism of bile regurgitation to manage the increased pressure in obstructive cholestasis. \n  \n**Please note the examination following the seminar is closed-door** \n  \n
