SUMMARY:Music and Medicine: A Live Performance with Jazz & Classical Pianist\, Adam Ivey
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a live Arts & Resilience performance\, featuring acclaimed pianist Adam Ivey. Ivey is a classically trained pianist\, composer\, and arranger from Oakland\, California. Born deaf in his left ear\, he regained hearing after a procedure at age three. He discovered his musical talent at age six during a free piano lesson\, and by seven\, he was performing regularly at his church. He went on to earn top classical awards through the National Association of Negro Musicians. The performance will be in-person at McGovern Medical School and live-streamed via Zoom. Register for Zoom via the event link; registration is not required for in-person attendance.

SUMMARY:Neurosurgery Research Seminar - protein engineering for immunomodulation
DESCRIPTION:“Protein engineering for immunomodulation” will be presented by Dr. Yubin Zhou on Thursday\, April 30\, 2026\, in MSB 2.135 at 3 pm. \nYubin Zhou\, MD\, PhD\, FAAAS\, FAIMBE\, FRSC\nPresidential Impact Fellow & Chancellor EDGES Fellow\nProfessor and Director\, Center for Translational Cancer Research\nInstitute of Biosciences and Technology &\nDepartment of Translational Medical Sciences\,\nCollege of Medicine\, Texas A&M University \nMicrobial opsin-based optogenetics has been nothing short of revolutionary for the neuroscience field. Owing to the radical difference in the localization and excitability between immune cells and neurons\, a parallel evolution of synthetic biology tools tailored for the immune system requires totally different design principles. In this talk\, I will explore how the convergence of optogenetics\, chemogenetics\, nanotechnology\, and immunoengineering can propel the burgeoning field of synthetic immunology. In parallel\, I will showcase engineering strategies for creating programmable cell-based therapies and biologics equipped with precision switches\, thereby allowing precise control over the dose\, location\, and timing of therapeutic effects. These approaches are anticipated to not only accelerate the mechanistic understanding of molecular and cellular physiology\, but also offer transformative solutions for treating immunoinflammatory disorders\, cancer\, and neurodegenerative diseases.
