Gene and cell therapies for age-related and infectious diseases
Presented by George ChurchGeorge Church is a Professor at Harvard and MIT, Director of PersonalGenomes.org, which provides the world’s only open-access information on human genomic, environmental and trait data (GET). In this seminar he presents his work on gene and cell therapies for age-related and infectious diseases.
Self Assembling Space Architecture
Presented by Ariel EkblawDr. Ariel Ekblaw, engineer and researcher at MIT and the Aurelia Institute, presents insights on the latest advancements in next-generation space technologies, with a focus on rapidly evolving technology in cislunar and Low Earth Orbits (LEO). Her work pioneers innovations in commercial space stations and sustainable lunar habitats, including the TESSERAE platform, a breakthrough in scalable, self-assembling space architecture. Dr. Ekblaw’s perspective outlines the future of a robust space economy, driven by engineering advancements in spacecraft systems and habitat construction.
Agential interventions: from diverse intelligence to next-generation biomedicine
Presented by Michael LevinMichael Levin is the Vannevar Bush Distinguished Professor of Biology at Tufts University, and associate faculty at Harvard’s Wyss Institute. He has published over 400 peer-reviewed publications across developmental biology, computer science, and philosophy of mind. In this seminar, Levin shares his work on agential interventions.
Tools for mapping and controlling the brain
Presented by Ed BoydenIn this seminar, leading neuroscientist Ed Boyden shares his work on mapping the brain. Boyden wants to understand the ground truth of the brain – what are the building blocks and how do they interact? We need to map the brain using expansion microscopy, then control and observe high speed dynamics using technologies like optogenetics and fluorescent imaging.
