Title:Could Extracellular vesicles of Microbiota be effective in Epigenomic change?

Abstract:
The human intestinal tract is colonized by a myriad of microbes that have developed intimate interactions with the host.The interactions between gut microbiota and the host involve a complex network of metabolic pathways and of biologically active molecules secreted by intestinal bacteria, some of which are packed into nanoparticles known as outer membrane vesicles (OMVs)…

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...

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...
