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.

Dr. Joe E. Baio – Teaching demonstration on topics including 3D printing, biomanufacturing, and biomaterials
April 14 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm PDT
UBC’s School of Biomedical Engineering will be hosting a visit from Dr. Joe E. Baio, an Associate Professor in the School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering at Oregon State University.
His research and teaching interests encompass multiple disciplines, including cell biology, biosensor technology, drug delivery systems, and materials science. He earned a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Washington and later served as a National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research before joining Oregon State.
Dr. Baio will give a 1-hour hybrid teaching demonstration to the UBC community on topics including 3D printing, biomanufacturing, and biomaterials.
This hybrid talk will take place in Lecture Theatre B1009, SBME Building – 6088 University Boulevard and via Zoom.
