Two-dimensional culture has been the paradigm for in Monday, November 2, 2015 vitro cell culture; however, evidence and intuition suggest that cells behave differently when they are isolated from the complex architecture of their 8:00am - 9:10am Breakfast with Paul Laibinis, Professor, ChBE will meet you native tissues and constrained to petri dishes or material surfaces with at the hotel. unnaturally high stiffness, polarity, and surface to volume ratio. As a result, biologists are often faced with the need for a more physiologically relevant 3D 9:10am - 9:15am Mary Gilleran, Admin. Asst., ChBE culture environment, and many researchers are realizing the advantages of 206 Olin Hall (student escort to SC) hydrogels as a means of creating custom 3D microenvironments with highly controlled chemical, biological and physical cues. Further, the native ECM is 9:30am - 10:00 am Peter Cummings, Associate Dean for Research far from static, so ECM mimics must also be dynamic to direct complex 5332 Stevenson Center cellular behavior.

Developing such hydrogel mimics of the ECM for 3D Kirkland Hall) cell culture is an archetypal engineering problem, requiring control of numerous properties on multiple time and length scales important for 11:00am - 11:45am Susan Wente, Provost cellular functions. New materials systems have the potential to significantly 205 Kirkland Hall (Peter Cummings will escort to University Club) improve our understanding of how cells receive information from their 12:00pm - 1:00pm Lunch with Doug LeVan, Professor, ChBE, Matt Lang, Professor, microenvironment and the role that these dynamic processes may play in ChBE and Jamey Young, Associate Professor, ChBE at University controlling the stem cell niche to cancer metastasis.

Anseth earned her B.S. degree from Purdue University in 1992 and her Ph.D. degree 1:40pm - 2:10pm Ken Debelak, Assoc. Professor, ChBE from the University of Colorado in 1994. She then conducted post-doctoral research at MIT as an NIH fellow and subsequently joined the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering 307 Olin Hall at the University of Colorado at Boulder as an Assistant Professor in 1996. Dr. Anseth is presently a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and Distinguished Professor of 2:15pm - 2:45pm Scott Guelcher, Assoc. Professor, ChBE Chemical and Biological Engineering. Her research interests lie at the interface between 207 Olin Hall biology and engineering where she designs new biomaterials for applications in drug delivery and regenerative medicine. Dr. Anseth’s research group has published ~300 publications in peer 2:50pm Seminar reception -reviewed journals and presented over 250 invited lectures in the fields of biomaterials and tissue engineering. She was the first engineer to be named a Howard Hughes Medical Institute 134 Featheringill Hall Investigator and received the Alan T. Waterman Award, the highest award of the National Science Foundation for demonstrated exceptional individual achievement in scientific or 3:10pm - 4:00pm Seminar engineering research. Dr. Anseth is an elected member of the National Academy of Engineering 134 Featheringill Hall (2009), the Institute of Medicine (2009), and the National Academy of Sciences (2013). She is also a dedicated teacher, who has received four University Awards related to her teaching, as 4:00pm - 5:30pm Reception with graduate students at Blackstone restaurant, well as the American Society for Engineering Education’s Curtis W. McGraw Award. Dr. Anseth is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American West End Avenue Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, and the Materials Research Society. She serves as an associate editor for Biomacromolecules, Progress in Materials Science, and Biotechnology & 5:30pm Depart for airport. Flight departs 7:20pm Bioengineering. .
