Optogenetic Tools for Controlling Biological Circuits
Start Date: 2/27/2015Start Time: 4:00 PM
End Date: 2/27/2015End Time: 5:30 PM

Event Description
Brian Y. Chow, PhD, assistant professor in the department of bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania, will discuss how optogenetic methods enable optical control over biological circuits via the heterologous expression of photoreceptor proteins, which sensitize genetically targeted cells to photo-inducible physiological changes. This modular molecular toolbox is extremely rich, including reagents that enable light-activated bi-directional perturbation of neural excitability and complex control over intracellular signaling cascades. This talk will focus on the discovery and engineering of these molecular machines, and their potential clinical applications as a next-generation of therapeutic devices, particularly in vision restoration.
