Ali Naji
School of Physics, Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM)
Title: Swimming in shear flow: Rheo-/chemotactic behavior of active particles in confinement
Abstract:
Life, as we know it, represents a complex, robust and, at the same time, an extremely fine-tuned organization of molecules and molecular processes that make use of stored and/or ambient free energy (and, as such, they are often referred to as ‘active’ processes), driving themselves into a hierarchy of nonequilibrium spatiotemporal forms known as the living matter...

Amir Sanati-Nezhad
Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Biomedical Eng/ University of Calgary
Title: The nexus of computational and experimental models of tumor microenvironment
Abstract:
Emerging evidence shows that endothelial cells are not only the building blocks of vascular networks that enable oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout a tissue but they also serve as a rich resource of angiocrine factors. The endothelial cells, in terms of cancer, play key roles in determining cancer progression and response to anti-cancer drugs. Furthermore, the endothelium-specific deposition of extracellular matrix is a key modulator of the availability of angiocrine factors to both stromal and cancer cells...

Mohammad Rashidian
CRI Postdoctoral Fellow at Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research/MIT
Title: Cancer Immunotherapy: Promises and Challenges
Biography:
I am interested in developing methods to image anticancer immune responses to therapy. Tumors are often surrounded and invaded by bone marrow-derived cells. Imaging the infiltration of such immune cells into tumors may therefore be an attractive means of detecting tumors or of tracking the response to anticancer therapy...

Changiz Eslahchi
Professor of algorithms in Bioinformatics, Department of Computer Sciences, Shahid Behehsti University
Title: COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT APPROACHES FOR IDENTIFYING SUBNETWORKS IN METABOLIC NETWORKS
Abstract:
A metabolic network model provides a computational framework for studying the metabolism of a cell at the system level. The organization of metabolic networks has been investigated in different studies. One of the organization aspects considered in these studies is the decomposition of a metabolic network. The decompositions produced by different methods are very different and there is no comprehensive evaluation framework to compare the results with each other...
