  • Elevating Your Professional Presense: Alumni Panel and Pitch Circuit

    This event for engineering masters students will feature a panel of alumni who will share their career journeys and their insights on effective communication, networking, and workplace leadership. After the panel, students can practice their professional introduction and their pitch in a "speed networking" event. Alumni will provide real-time constructive feedback and help students build […]

  • Mapping the Human Regulome at Cell Type and Nucleotide Resolution

    My research focuses on deciphering the structure-function relationship of chromatin. My group develops methods to create in vivo nucleotide-resolved maps of transcription factor occupancy and function within the regulatory genome of primary cells, tissue types and disease states.

  • CEE Seminar – Advances in environmental monitoring and risk assessment to reduce exposures to enteric pathogens

    Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

    Globally, a large fraction of the disease burden is attributed to environmental contaminants, particularly enteric pathogens, which are transmitted via multiple pathways, including water, food, soil, and fomites. Further, microbial contaminants are garnering more public health attention at the global scale due to the emergence antimicrobial resistance. Prioritization of strategies to interrupt the transmission of […]

  • CANCELED: The Evolution of Genome Evolution and Virulence in the Human Pathogen Histoplasma

    Nanaline Duke 147

    Dr. Matute uses evolutionary principles to understand the biology of emerging fungal pathogens. These pathogens cause disease in over one billion people each year, and their impact is expanding as antifungal resistance becomes increasingly widespread. The Matute lab is currently focused on understanding the evolution of virulence in pathogens of the genus Histoplasma using computational […]

  • MEMS Distinguished Seminar: Laura McGill, “Engineering Challenges and Opportunities in National Security”

    Fitzpatrick Center Schiciano Auditorium Side A, room 1464

    Thomas Lord Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science (MEMS) Spring 2026 Distinguished Seminar Speaker Series welcomes Laura McGill (Sandia) to present the Distinguished MEMS Seminar, "Engineering Challenges and Opportunities in National Security."

  • Nuclear mechanobiology – from striated muscle disease to ultrarapid cellular mechanosensing

    Wilkinson Building, room 021 auditorium

    The nucleus is the defining feature of eukaryotic cells. While most research has focused on the genomic information contained within the nucleus, recent findings highlight the importance of its mechanical properties and responses to applied forces in determining cellular functions and processes. Using a comprehensive and multidisciplinary research approach that combines the development of novel […]
