SBME Research Seminar: The RNA folding problem remains open – Dr. Rhiju Das
The discovery and design of biologically important RNA molecules has lagged behind proteins, in part due to the general difficulty of three-dimensional RNA structural characterization. What are the prospects for an ‘AlphaFold moment’ for RNA? I’ll describe some recent progress in modeling RNA structure from old-fashioned and new machine learning, cryoelectron microscopy, and current and upcoming internet-scale competitions hosted on the Eterna, Kaggle, and CASP platforms.

BMEG Seminar: September 21 Session
September 21, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm PDT
Through the BMEG 598: Biomedical Engineering Seminar, Biomedical Engineering graduate students will be exposed to innovative and cutting-edge research happening both on the UBC campus with their colleagues and around the world. This is the second in a series of sessions during which students will present their research. The students presenting and the title of their presentation can be found below.
Students Presenting:
Mohammad Reza Yousefi Darestani: “A Sensor-Integrated “Smart” Ureteral Stent and Wireless In-Vitro Test for Real-time Obstruction Detection.“
Luke Johnson: “How does Legg-Calvé-Perthes deformity cause early-onset hip osteoarthritis? An MR imaging and modelling study.“
