Afternoon of Science Series: Department of Systems Biology

The Afternoon of Science series at the Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons continued Sept. 25 with presentations from the Department of Systems Biology.

The event was hosted by the department's interim chair, Harris Wang, associate professor of systems biology, pathology & cell biology, and biomedical engineering, who shared his vision for the department. The Department of Systems Biology was founded in 2013 and now has more than a dozen primary faculty and 19 additional cross-appointed faculty members, who work to advance the integration of computational and experimental research methods in the biological and biomedical sciences. Research in the department is highly collaborative and integrates specialists in molecular biology, genetics, computational biology and bioinformatics, mathematics, chemistry and chemical biology, physics, and other fields.

DSB Retreat

Group picture

 

The Department of Systems Biology’s 2024 annual retreat was held in September at Woodloch Pines Resort, PA. The retreat gave DSB faculty, post-docs, and students a chance to get away from the bustle of New York City, learn about their peers’ research, and network.

 

Opening

       Poster


 

DSB researchers and graduate students participated in a poster competition held the first evening, and reviewed by Systems Biology faculty judges. The three poster winners were  Daniel Caron for “Maintenance of human macrophage tissue identity and plasticity during acute polarization”;  Yiwei Sun for “Fecal exfoliated RNA (eRNA) profiling captures immune dynamics of healthy and inflamed gut”;  and Ruchika Mishra for “Deciphering RNA recognition code for Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) editing factors.”
