Automated Metabolic Network Reconstruction: Method, Application and Web Tool

Nov 8, 2010
Yu Chen
Genome-wide metabolic network reconstruction has proved to be a powerful tool for system-level study of whole-cell metabolisms. A great amount of efforts have been spent in reconstructing metabolic networks of a few tens of organisms, including bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes. However, it remains...

Recent Research Development In Biomass Conversion to Advanced Bio-Fuels

Nov 8, 2010
Johnathan E. Holladay
The United States is abundant in biomass resources. The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have been conducting research on conversion of biomass into chemical products and advanced fuels for several decades. In this presentation, the author will discuss significant research advancement,...

A System Approach to Astrocytoma Progression

Nov 8, 2010
Chunjing Wang
Astrocytomas are brain cancers that account for 75% of neuroepithelial tumors. Accurate diagnosis is required for adequate treatment and assessing prognosis for patients. We used both gene-based and network-based approaches to find the key processes involved in astrocytoma progression from...

Artificial Photosynthesis: The Future of Renewable Fuels and Chemicals

Nov 8, 2010
Rich Masel
This presentation will provide an overview and research vision of catalytic and reaction engineering technologies for conversion of CO2 into re-usable energy and/or products at productivity and energy efficiency substantially higher than the natural, photosynthesis process.

Multi-Scale Agent-Based Modeling of Human Endotoxemia

Nov 8, 2010
Tung T. Nguyen
The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) often accompanies critical illness but is evoked by many stimuli e.g. infection, trauma, invasive surgery and biological stressors in general [1]. It often progresses to severe cases of sepsis with a substantial morbidity and mortality where...

Identification of Cell-Type Specific Transcripts for Informative Diagnostics

Nov 8, 2010
Younhee Ko
The identification of cell-type specific or brain-region specific transcripts adds specificity for the diagnosis of a wide variety of brain disorders, such as traumatic brain injury or brain cancers. One goal of identifying cell-type and brain-region specific genes is that they encode for proteins...

Multiscale Modeling and Analysis of TRPV1 Regulation in Sensory Neurons

Nov 8, 2010
Jeffrey D. Varner
TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1) receptors play a central role in nociception and inflammatory pain. Interestingly, both agonists and antagonists of TRPV1 have been tested therapeutically, suggesting that the regulation of TRPV1 activity is a complex balance between pro- and...

Quality by Design and Multivariate Process Representations

Nov 8, 2010
Jose Cardoso Menezes
Bioprocess design, development and manufacturing involve different goals and use different tools. At the design stage a cell-centric approach dominates. During development and especially later during manufacturing a process-centered perspective prevails as if biomanufacturing performance was...

Evolving Biological Engineering

Nov 8, 2010
Harvey Blanch
In 2010, SBE awarded the James E. Bailey Award, endowed by Cytos Biotechnology, to Dr. Harvey Blanch of the University of California - Berkeley, for his research and advancements in transport, kinetics, and thermodynamics in enzymatic and microbial processes. Dr. Blanch is the Merck Professor of...
