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.

SBME Propels: The Commercialization Workshop Series: Workshop 1: From Research to Market – An Introduction
November 7, 2024 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm PST
SBME Propels: The Commercialization Workshop Series: Workshop 1: From Research to Market – An Introduction
In this interactive workshop, participants will explore the critical first steps in translating research into a viable product or solution. We will focus on identifying and refining research to address unmet needs in the market, with an emphasis on medical, scientific, and technological applications. Through a combination of lectures, case studies, and practical exercises, attendees will learn how to define their problem, ideate solutions, and build a compelling value proposition.
The series consists of four workshops, each building on the previous one to equip participants with essential skills and insights. The workshops will cover key aspects of the commercialization process, including identifying market needs, protecting intellectual property, securing funding, and refining research solutions for market entry. The series culminates in a final showcase, where participants present their projects to a panel of industry experts, venture capitalists, and funding representatives.
