SUMMARY:Like Driving a Car: Acquiring Quality SEM/FESEM Images in Different Situations
DESCRIPTION:Getting good SEM/FESEM images is dependent on both the sample conditions (conductivity\, bulk vs. thin film\, etc) and the instrument’s imaging parameters (e.g.\, beam voltage\, beam current\, working distance\, detector\, etc). Over the course of training and interacting with hundreds of different FESEM users Dr. Liu has observed the most important things a new user needs to know without overwhelming them with theory and trivial operational routines. This allows new users to conceptualize and visualize the electron beam behavior relative to the observed imaging. This webinar will simplify and explain the complex nature of SEM/FESEM imaging by drawing analogies to common things in everyday life such as writing with a pencil and driving a car. \n \nSpeaker: Bangzhi Liu\, PhD \nBio: Dr. Bangzhi received his Ph.D. from Michigan State University and worked as a postdoctoral research scholar in the department of Materials Science and Engineering at Penn State University. He is currently employed by Penn State Materials Research Institute as an assistant research professor. He has over 20 years’ experience in materials characterization (FESEM\, TEM\, Auger\, etc) and thin film deposition (PVD and ALD). He has authored and coauthored over 40 peer-reviewed journals. \nRegistration:  \nhttps://psu.zoom.us/webinar/register/3516565307447/WN_N_g1Bpv_Qui59PHPfHm7FA

SUMMARY:High Throughput Automation of Synthetic DNA and RNA on Nanostructured Ceramic Films
DESCRIPTION:Fully synthetic oligonucleotides are critical in nearly all disciplines of modern biology and precision medicine. Synthetic Biology\, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) diagnostics\, mRNA vaccines\, interference RNA cancer therapeutics\, self-amplifying saRNA. Access to abundant\, high quality synthetic DNA and RNA at gram scales overnight could be a game changer for the future of healthcare and personalized medicine 1) reducing the time for the discovery of safe and effective biologics\, 2) significantly increasing the clinical Phase I pipeline success and 3) reaching profitability years in advanced to recover R&D costs. \nTypical commercial offerings for 500 ng of a single lyophilized gene take from 5 to 15 business days and cost over $2500 to produce. For even partial combinatorial libraries of mRNA biologics this process can become time consuming and prohibitable expensive. We will discuss how the use of nano-structured ceramic films enables the synthesis of hundreds of DNA genes in gram quantities overnight. Furthermore\, we will describe how these nano-structured ceramics can be manufactured without the use of expensive\, currently highly backlogged\, nanofabs through the use of conventional physical and chemical means. \n \nSpeaker: Mario Blanco\, PhD\, President & CEO \nBio: Dr. Blanco holds a PhD in Physical Chemistry from UCLA.

SUMMARY:Standalone stretchable device platform for human health monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Huanyu Cheng \nDate: November 16\, 2022 at 1 pm ET \nAbstract: Conventional electronics today form on the planar surfaces of brittle wafer substrates and are not compatible with 3D deformable surfaces. As a result\, stretchable electronic devices have been developed for continuous health monitoring. Practical applications of the next-generation stretchable electronics hinge on the integration of stretchable sustained power supplies with highly sensitive on-skin sensors and wireless transmission modules. This talk presents the challenges\, design strategies\, and novel fabrication processes behind a potential standalone stretchable device platform that (a) integrates with 3D curvilinear dynamically changing surfaces\, and (b) dissolves completely after its effective operation. The resulting device platform creates application opportunities in fundamental biomedical research\, disease diagnostic confirmation\, healthy aging\, human-machine interface\, and smart internet of things. \nShort biography: Dr. Cheng is the James L. Henderson\, Jr. Memorial Associate Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics at Penn State University. His research group focuses on the design\, fabrication\, and application of the standalone stretchable device platform. Larry has co-authored more than 120 publications with total citations >15\,000 according to Google Scholar. His work has been recognized through the reception of numerous awards\, including the Humboldt Research Fellowship for Experienced Researchers\, 2022 Minerals\, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) Functional Materials Division (FMD) Young Leaders Professional Development Award\, 2021 NIH Trailblazer Award\, MIT Technology Review Innovators Under 35 (TR35 China) in 2021\, 2021 Scialog Fellow in Advancing BioImaging\, 2021 Frontiers of Materials Award from TMS\, Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2017\, among others. He also serves as the associate editor for 7 journals and reviewer for > 200 journals. \nRegistration: https://psu.zoom.us/webinar/register/1216637709471/WN_DJuRaXhvTg6d0VUC0zdTQQ

SUMMARY:Nanobiotechnology Workforce Training on a Shoe-String Budget
DESCRIPTION:Title: Nanobiotechnology Workforce Training on a Shoe-String Budget \nSpeaker: Prof. Mrunalini Pattarkine\, Professor and Chair; Lead-Nanobiotechnology Initiative; Biotechnology\, Harrisburg University of Science and Technology \nDate/Time: March 9\, 2023\, 1 pm EST \nBio: Prof. Pattarkine has a PhD in Biochemistry from IIT Powai and has over 25 years of research experience. She has several publications and book chapters to her credit. Prof. Pattarkine also serves as the Director of Capital Area Biotechnology Partnership (CABP)\, a Workforce Leadership Grant in Biotechnology funded by PA Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED\, a $700\,000/-grant). She has conducted numerous workshops on STEM workforce development at national and international events\, for educators and administrators and is considered an expert in the field by the state administrators. \nAbstract: Nanotechnology is called the “Next Industrial Revolution”. Biotechnology is called as “The Science of the Millennium”. When these two powerful disciplines blend into nanobiotechnology\, one can only imagine the scope and opportunities that emerge. The industry has recognized the potential of this field and is already contributing several commercialized products generated using Nanobiotechnology. People use these products in their daily life\, without realizing the nanobiotechnology connection. Despite the need\, there is a severe deficiency of a nanobiotechnology trained workforce\, and it is a matter of great concern. The origin for this concern lies in lack of awareness about the skills\, education paths\, and career options for nanobiotechnology in the K-12\, as well as post-secondary education. Compounding the problem is the wide-spread myth that teaching nanotechnology is not possible without expensive instrumentation. \nThis webinar addresses this important matter. Dr Pattarkine will share some strategies that enable low-cost\, hands-on nanobiotechnology activities and projects that have been developed as a part of the workforce leadership activities undertaken through Capital Area Biotechnology Partnership (CABP) by the biotechnology program at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology (Harrisburg\, PA). \nRegistration link:  https://psu.zoom.us/webinar/register/2316742303361/WN_uFmQCMGORfOl4C7o21yQ5Q \n  \n
