SUMMARY:SBME Presents: Mikhail Shapiro
DESCRIPTION:Talk: Biomolecular Ultrasound for Noninvasive Imaging and Control of Cellular Function\nOverview: The study of biological function in intact organisms and the development of targeted cellular therapeutics necessitate methods to image and control cellular function in vivo. Technologies such as fluorescent proteins and optogenetics serve this purpose in small\, translucent specimens\, but are limited by the poor penetration of light into deeper tissues. In contrast\, most non-invasive techniques such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging – while based on energy forms that penetrate tissue effectively – are not effectively coupled to cellular function. Our work attempts to bridge this gap by engineering biomolecules with the appropriate physical properties to interact with magnetic fields and sound waves. In this talk\, I will describe our recent development of biomolecular reporters and actuators for ultrasound. The reporters are based on gas vesicles – a unique class of gas-filled protein nanostructures from buoyant photosynthetic microbes. These proteins produce nonlinear scattering of sound waves\, enabling their detection with ultrasound. I will describe our recent progress in understanding the biophysical and acoustic properties of these biomolecules\, engineering their mechanics and targeting at the genetic level\, developing methods to enhance their detection in vivo\, expressing them heterologously as reporter genes\, and turning them into dynamic sensors of enzyme activity. In addition to their applications in imaging\, gas vesicles can be used to control cellular location and function by serving as receivers of acoustic radiation force or seeding localized bubble cavitation. Additional remote control is provided by thermal bioswitches – biomolecules that provide switch-like control of gene expression in response to small changes in temperature. This allows us to use focused ultrasound to remote-control engineered cells in vivo.

DESCRIPTION:The D.R.I.N.K.S.

The purpose is to bring together faculty\, clinicians\, engineers\, nurses\, physio/rehab\, scientists\, residents\, trainees\, staff\, entrepreneurs\, bio/pharm/hospital staff/execs/veterans\, lawyers\, VCs\, journalists/editors\, philanthropists\, visiting scientists\, those on sabbaticals\, and others with common interests in biomedical/translational research & discovery/commercialization once a month to casually interact and meet new people over a beverage of their choice and/or appie. It’s a great way for people that have just moved to\, just visiting Vancouver\, looking for collaborations\, jobs\, funding\, connections for start-ups\, networking/socializing to meet others in medicine/research/bioengineering/industry. All are welcome! \n Integrated Nanotherapeutics will be sponsoring this month.
