SUMMARY:Talk of Prof. Elisa Franco
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Elisa Franco\nMechanical Engineering\n University of California, Riverside, USA  \nTuesday 2015-09-08 16:00\n IST-Seminar-Room V2.268 - Pfaffenwaldring 9 - Campus Stuttgart-Vaihingen  \nAbstract\nCells have unique abilities to sense, process, and actuate based on\nenvironmental stimuli: their molecular components are constantly running many parallel programs\nthat ensure correct growth, motion, reshaping, and repair in response to external inputs. How can\nmodern engineers harness such powerful toolkit of DNA, RNA, and proteins to create the next\ngeneration of molecular computers and smart biomaterials? I will describe our efforts in this area,\nwhich are centered on the combination of nucleic acids nanotechnology and dynamical systems theory.\nFirst, I will summarize our efforts in the design and synthesis of synthetic molecular clocks,\nessential devices to synchronize events in molecular computers. Specifically, I will describe the\nchallenges arising in scaling up clock-driven circuits. Second, I will outline our progress in the\ncreation of advanced, dynamic biomaterials, inspired to cytoskeletal filaments in cells, using DNA\nnanostructures powered by oscillators.\nBiographical Information\nElisa Franco is an Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering at UC\nRiverside. She received a Ph.D. in control and dynamical systems from Caltech, and a Ph.D. in\nautomation and a M.S. in power systems engineering from the University of Trieste, Italy. Her\nresearch interests are in the areas of biological feedback networks and DNA nanotechnology. She\nreceived the NSF CAREER award in 2015, a Hellman fellowship and a UC Regents fellowship in\n2013.
