SUMMARY:SBME Research Seminar: The RNA Folding Problem Remains Open
DESCRIPTION:The discovery and design of biologically important RNA molecules has lagged behind proteins\, in part due to the general difficulty of three-dimensional RNA structural characterization. What are the prospects for an ‘AlphaFold moment’ for RNA? I’ll describe some recent progress in modeling RNA structure from old-fashioned and new machine learning\, cryoelectron microscopy\, and current and upcoming internet-scale competitions hosted on the Eterna\, Kaggle\, and CASP platforms. \nDr. Rhiju Das’s Biography:\nDr. Das is a Professor of Biochemistry at Stanford University School of Medicine. After training in particle physics and cosmology at Harvard\, Cambridge\, University College London\, and Stanford\, Dr. Das did postdoctoral research in computational protein folding at the University of Washington with David Baker. On returning to Stanford\, Dr. Das set up his lab to focus on computer modeling and design of RNA molecules\, which underlie important molecular machines in biology and medicine. As a core part of this research\, Dr. Das leads Eterna\, an open science platform that crowdsources intractable RNA design problems to 250\,000 players of an online videogame and provides scoring feedback based on actual wet-lab experiments. Dr. Das has been recognized by the Burroughs-Wellcome Career Award at the Interface of Science\, the Stanford Medicine Endowed Faculty Scholar award\, and selection as an investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

SUMMARY:Six Great Ideas That Changed Science and the World
DESCRIPTION:Admission Tickets are Required\, but Free\nAdmission Tickets are FREE\, but all wishing to attend are required to obtain “free-admission” tickets from EventBrite. Click the big “Reserve a Spot” button on this page to get one ticket per guest attending. \nEvent Parking\nPay parking is available onsite. There is also some free street parking in the neighbourhood\, nearby. Please note the parking signs\, as much of the neighborhood parking has recently become pay parking for visitors\, although much cheaper than the venue parking lot itself. \nRefreshments\nThis is the time to enjoy a bite and drink as you socialize with other guests and the speaker.
