Arctic Technology Conference

November 5, 2018 to November 7, 2018
Hilton Americas, Houston, TX
The Arctic Technology Conference (ATC) is an international conference built upon OTC’s successful multidisciplinary approach, with 14 technical societies and organizations working together to deliver the world’s most comprehensive Arctic event. ATC 2018 will be held November 5–7,...

Ron Weiss

Weiss began his pioneering work in synthetic biology in 1996 when, as a graduate student, he set up a wet-lab in the MIT EECS Department. His lab uses computer engineering principles of abstraction, composition, and interface specifications to program cells with sensors and actuators precisely controlled by analog and digital logic circuitry.Read more

Amy Wagers

Work in the Wagers Lab focuses on understanding the mechanisms that regulate the function of blood-forming and muscle-forming stem cells so that their potential can be optimally exploited for the treatment of diseases such as cancer, anemia, muscular dystrophy, and diabetes. A major goal of our research has been to identify mechanisms that control the migration and expansion of blood-forming stem cells, with the aim of improving patient outcomes in bone marrow transplant. Our current work suggests that both intrinsic and extrinsic factors cooperate to determine stem cell fate, and we have...Read more

Junghae Suh

Junghae Suh specializes in designing and investigating gene delivery vectors for various applications in biomedicine. Her Synthetic Virology Laboratory combines broad-based knowledge of protein engineering and molecular/cell biology to engineer the properties of naturally occurring viruses for the treatment of debilitating human diseases. Suh’s basic science and technology development has impacted a variety of fields, including tissue engineering, and the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular and neurological diseases. Since joining Rice in 2007, she has orchestrated various multi-...Read more

Mikhail Shapiro

Mikhail Shapiro is a Professor of Chemical Engineering at Caltech and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. The Shapiro laboratory develops biomolecular technologies allowing cells to be imaged and controlled inside the body using sound waves and magnetic fields to enable the study of biological function in vivo and the development of cell-based diagnostic and therapeutic agents. Mikhail received his PhD in Biological Engineering from MIT and his BSc in Neuroscience from Brown, and conducted post-doctoral research at the University of Chicago and the University of...Read more

Michael Levin

Michael Levin’s work focuses on novel ways to understand and control complex pattern formation. His lab uses molecular genetics, biophysics, and computational modeling approaches to address large-scale control of growth and form in frogs, flatworms, and sometimes zebrafish and human tissues in culture. The goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms necessary for morphogenesis, and also to uncover and exploit the cooperative signaling dynamics that enable complex bodies to build and remodel themselves toward a correct structure. Our major goal is to understand how individual cell...Read more

Rudolph Jaenisch

Jaenisch, a Whitehead Founding Member, focuses on understanding epigenetic regulation of gene expression (the biological mechanisms that affect how genetic information is converted into cell structures but that don’t alter the genes in the process). Most recently, this work has led to major advances in our understanding of embryonic stem cells and “induced pluripotent stem” (IPS) cells, which appear identical to embryonic stem cells but can be created from adult cells without using an egg....Read more
