Bioengineering Study Finds that Bacteria Organize According to 'Rich-Get-Richer' Principle

20130520-bacteriaorg

Gerard Wong, professor of bioengineering at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, member of the California NanoSystems Institute, and professor of chemistry and biochemstry at UCLA led a team of researchers who elucidated the early formation of biofilms by developing algorithms that describe the movements of the different strains of the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa and by conducting computer simulations to map the bacteria's movements. P. aeruginosa can cause lethal, difficult-to-treat infections, including those found in cystic fibrosis and AIDS patients.

Researchers Lead by Professor Cun-Yu Wang Discover Possible Trigger for Spread of Head and Neck Cancer Cells

20130517-ccelltrigger
 

Led by Dr. Cun-Yu Wang, a UCLA School of Dentistry and Bioengineering professor and leading cancer scientist, the group identified the key epigenetic factor KDM4A, which modifies the molecular activation process of protein AP-1. AP-1 is known to regulate gene expression and promote metastasis of squamous cell carcinoma. Their findings show that squamous cell carcinoma's invasive growth could potentially be repressed by targeting KDM4A.

 
 

UCLA Bioengineers Simplify Fluid Flows by Removing Complex Math

20130514-fluidflows
 
A research team led by UCLA bioengineers has developed a way to program and control the shape of fluids flowing through pipes or conduits without the need to solve complex and time-consuming fluid-motion equations. This strategy, which the researchers liken to the major change that occurred when computer programmers no longer needed to understand the detailed physics behind computer circuits, could allow biologists, chemists, manufacturing engineers and others to tap the vast, unrealized potential of fluid-flow applications.
 
 

Professor Aydogan Ozcan Speaks at Milken Institute Global Conference 2013

 
MilkenConference2013
 
On the last day of the 2013 Conference, a panel of scientists including Dr. David Baltimore (a Nobel Laureate in Medicine and former President of the California Institute of Technology), Dr. Francis Collins (the Director of the National Institute of Health), and Dr. Aydogan Ozcan (Associate Professor in Bioengineering and Electrical Engineering at UCLA) spoke about their inspiration to become involved in science and some of the great achievements that they played a role in enacting.
