RSometimes this quest for understanding leads to technologies that can address society’s most pressing challenges, such as helping patients recover from stroke or improving the detection of cancer. When this synergy of basic and applied research occurs, Princeton’s Office of Technology Licensing assists our faculty researchers and their teams with the transfer of innovations to partners with the skills to further develop them to the point where they can benefit our planet and society. Our office continues to evolve as we respond to increased interest from our University community to engage in technology transfer for the benefit of society. Over the past year we have ramped up our capability to advise faculty and students about startup ventures through the creation of a New Ventures position. Through such activities, universities can stimulate economic growth in ways that provide new jobs, livelihoods and sometimes the foundation of an entire industry. Each year, Celebrate Princeton Invention gives us the opportunity to honor the Princeton faculty, staff researchers and students who create new and transformative technologies. Their efforts constitute one of the many ways in which Princeton fulfills its mission of service to the nation and to humanity. John Ritter Director, Technology Licensing Rapid changes to technology and Fundamental, curiosity-driven scientific society are making the connections inquiry is at the heart of Princeton’s research between world-class research and the endeavors. This exploration of nature and “innovation ecosystem more important “our place within it inspires and educates the than ever. At Princeton, we are eager to next generation of science and engineering see those connections flourish, and our leaders and lays the groundwork for future students and faculty are enthusiastically innovations. The quest for knowledge also collaborating with both industry and sometimes results in the discovery of new the nonprofit sector to discover and technologies that, with further development, implement ideas that will help address can benefit humanity.

Welcome by HHMI Vice President Dr. Peter Bruns (1:08) [DR. BRUNS:] Thanks for joining us for the Holiday Lectures on Science this year, focusing on biodiversity and the search for new medicines. You know, we've already had one lecture full of all sorts of great stuff and we've got three more to go, but even then we won't be able to cover everything for sure. We have a way that you can get more information on this and other related topics, and that's on a website that we have. If you go to our own website, HHMI.org, and then on the bottom right, click on an area called Cool Science, you'll come to a page that has a number of options. In one spot you'll find BioInteractive. Click on that and you'll find a whole library of previous Holiday Lectures and, in fact, this Holiday Lecture, in the future, and other kinds of videos and animations and so on.

    K A V L I I N S T I T U T E F O R T H E O R E T I C A L P H Y S I C S Presents The Forty-Fifth KITP Public Lecture Sponsored by Friends of KITP Bonnie Bassler How Bacteria Talk to Each Other acteria communicate with one another using small chemical molecules that they release into the environment. These molecules travel from cell to cell and the bacteria have receptorsB on their surfaces that allow them to detect and respond to the build up of the molecules. This process of cell-to-cell communication in bacteria is called “Quorum Sensing” and it allows bacteria to synchronize behavior on a population-wide scale. Bacterial behaviors controlled by quorum sensing are usually ones that are unproductive when undertaken by an individual Admission is Free bacterium acting alone but become effective when undertaken in unison by the group. For example, quorum sensing controls virulence, sporulation, and Seating is by RSVP only the exchange of DNA. Thus, quorum sensing is a mechanism that allows at: bacteria to function as multi-cellular organisms. Cell-to-cell communication http://www.kitp.ucsb.edu/ in bacteria was likely one of the first steps in the evolution of higher public-lecture-rsvp organisms. Current biomedical research is focused on the development of or call novel anti-bacterial therapies aimed at interfering with quorum sensing. Such therapies could be used to control bacterial pathogenicity.

It’s a mouse retina, removed and flattened to • show the entire surface of the tissue. The concentrated red staining at the top of the image www.hhmi.or indicates that the cone photoreceptors of the dorsal retina contain high levels of phos- phorylated mTOR protein. Phosphorylation of mTOR is a sign that the cells are healthy and receiving good nutrition. This finding suggests a couple of possi bilities, according to HHMI investigator Connie Cepko. First, dorsal cones may respond differently to their surrounding environment than ventral cones. Or the nutrient supply, oxygen level, and g environmental interactions may differ around the dorsal and ventral cones. Understanding normal cone photoreceptor behavior will help Cepko’s team figure out what goes wrong when cone cells die, as in the sight-robbing disease retinitis pigmentosa (see page 12).
