SUMMARY:BioE Seminar Series Presents: Tara Deans
DESCRIPTION:Tara Deans\, Ph.D. \nAssistant Professor\, Department of Biomedical Engineering\, University of Utah\, Salt Lake City\, Utah  \n“Using synthetic biology to engineer therapeutic devices” \nABSTRACT:   \nSynthetic biology has transformed how cells can be reprogrammed\, providing a means to reliably and predictably control cell behavior with the assembly of genetic parts into more complex gene circuits. Using these approaches\, we are programming stem cells with novel genetic tools to control genes and pathways that result in changes in stem cell fate decisions\, in addition to reprogramming terminally differentiated cells to function as unique therapeutic diagnostic and delivery vehicles. \nBIOGRAPHY: \nDr. Tara Deans received her PhD from Boston University in Biomedical Engineering. Following her postdoctoral training at Johns Hopkins University\, she became an Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Utah. Currently\, Dr. Deans runs an applied mammalian synthetic biology laboratory where her lab focuses on building novel genetic tools to study the mechanisms of stem cell differentiation for the purpose of directing cell fate decisions. Recently\, Dr. Deans received four prestigious awards to support this area of research: the NSF CAREER Award\, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Young Investigator Award\, the NIH Trailblazer Award\, and an NIH Director’s New Innovator Award. In addition to her research\, Dr. Deans was named a STEM Ambassador in the STEM Ambassador Program (STEMAP) at the University of Utah to engage underrepresented groups in STEM fields.  \nPlease email Elizabeth Chesley at e.chesley@northeastern.edu for the seminar link.
