SUMMARY:Quality First Coding Contest
DESCRIPTION:This is a programming contest\, but with a twist! Instead of scoring you based on your speed and solution accuracy\, we score you based on your programming quality and solution accuracy. This means that instead of looking at how fast you can program a solution\, we look at your number of compiles/runs instead.* The contestant that uses the least number of compiles/runs to produce passing code is the winner. Ties are broken by time. \nFood will be provided. QFCC 20260427 – Poster

SUMMARY:BME 280B Seminar: Speaker Dr. Aaron Newman - Molecular and spatial determinants of single-cell developmental states in cancer
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Dr. Newman\, Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Data Science\, Stanford University \n  \nDescription: Determining the factors that shape cell potency—the ability of a cell to differentiate into other cell types—is essential for understanding tissue biology in health and disease\, including cancer. In previous work\, we found that single-cell transcriptional diversity decreases across developmental time\, from the fertilized egg to the most mature cells in the body\, and in multiple organisms. More recently\, we developed CytoTRACE 2\, an interpretable AI framework trained on millions of data points from single-cell RNA sequencing data\, to determine cell potency on an absolute scale and reveal molecular hallmarks of developmental potential. We are now leveraging this method along with advances in spatial transcriptomics\, to identify multicellular ecosystems linked to cancer cell differentiation states and clinical outcomes. I will highlight these tools along with our ongoing work to decode cell plasticity and clinically relevant spatial microenvironments in human malignancies. \n  \nBio: Dr. Newman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Data Science at Stanford University and a Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Investigator. He is also a member of the Stanford Cancer Institute and the Stanford Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine. Dr. Newman has made significant contributions to computational biology with applications to liquid biopsy\, cancer genomics\, and tumor immunology. Key contributions include CAPP-Seq for ultrasensitive detection of circulating tumor DNA; CIBERSORT/x for decoding cellular composition from bulk genomic data; CytoTRACE/2 for inferring cellular differentiation states from scRNA-seq data; and EcoTyper for delineating context-dependent cellular ecosystems from bulk\, single-cell\, and spatial expression data. His research program focuses on developing innovative data science tools to study the phenotypic diversity\, differentiation hierarchies\, and clinical significance of tumor cells and their surrounding microenvironments. Key results are further explored experimentally\, both in the lab and through collaboration\, with the goal of translating promising findings into the clinic.  \nHosted by: Professor Camilla Forsberg\, BME Department

SUMMARY:Mirchandani\, C. (BMEB) - Population and Evolutionary Genomics Across Ecological Scales
DESCRIPTION:Sequencing technologies have transformed population and evolutionary genetics\, making it possible to ask questions at scales that were intractable a decade ago. Realizing that potential depends on tailored computational approaches\, and on the tools and infrastructure those approaches are built on. My dissertation works across this spectrum. Using an in vitro Drosophila cell culture system\, I show that mixed Wolbachia infections resolve rapidly and deterministically\, with one strain competitively excluding the other across host species and starting frequencies\, offering an explanation for why mixed infections are rarely observed in nature. In a deep-sea clam and its obligate bacterial symbiont\, I use two ultra-accurate sequencing methods and demographic modeling to directly estimate the effective transmission bottleneck between host generations\, finding it to be roughly eight symbionts\, orders of magnitude below prior cell-count estimates. I also present two tools for population genomics at scale: snpArcher\, a reproducible variant calling workflow developed for the California Conservation Genomics Project and now used across hundreds of species and tens of thousands of samples; and clam\, a Rust-based tool that efficiently estimates population genetic statistics by leveraging callable loci\, producing results identical to existing all-sites approaches at a fraction of the computational cost. Together\, these projects demonstrate how tailored computational approaches can unlock biological insight across diverse systems and scales. \nEvent Host: Cade Mirchandani\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Biomolecular Engineering & Bioinformatics \nAdvisors: Russ Corbett-Detig & Shelbi Russell \nZoom- https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/98034081971?pwd=L5RoKoNEFxyapNhSRoXC8os2K2YZwv.1

SUMMARY:BME 80G Seminar: Speaker Dr. Mohammed Mostajo-Radji - How Close Are We to Consciousness in a Dish?
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Dr. Mohammed Mostajo-Radji\, Associate Research Scientist\, Genomics Institute UCSC \nDescription: We can now grow small pieces of human brain tissue in the lab\, known as brain organoids. These models show many features of early brain development\, including different types of neurons and coordinated electrical activity. This progress raises a fascinating question: how close are we to consciousness in a dish? In this talk\, I will explain what brain organoids are\, what we mean by consciousness\, and why answering this question is more complex than it may seem. I will end by introducing the idea of neurorights\, and why thinking about the rights and protections of minds matters as brain science and technology continue to advance. \nBio: Dr. Mohammed Mostajo-Radji is an Associate Research Scientist at the Genomics Institute UCSC. He is part of the Braingeneers group\, a multidisciplinary collective of geneticists\, neuroscientists\, and engineers focused on the human brain’s specification and function. His research explores neuronal specification and fate plasticity in the cerebral cortex using brain organoid models. Additionally\, he leads the Live Cell Biotechnology Discovery Lab\, which develops cloud-based experimental science education technologies. Dr. Mostajo-Radji earned his PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Harvard University and completed postdoctoral training at UCSF. He also co-leads the Data Coordination Center for the SSPsyGene Consortium\, an NIH initiative to characterize genetic mutations associated with neuropsychiatric disorders.  \nHosted by: Professor Karen Miga\, BME Department

SUMMARY:BME 80G Seminar: Sara Ackerman - Doing Ethics From The Inside: Collaboration\, Critique\, and Contradiction in Team Science
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Sara Ackerman\, Medical Anthropologist and Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences\, University of California\, San Francisco \nDescription: Team science has been widely promoted as a collaborative\, cross-disciplinary approach to addressing key scientific questions\, yet power differences and epistemic hierarchies persist. This talk explores "embedded ethics"—a model in which social scientists and ethicists work directly with scientific research teams. Drawing on findings from an empirical ethics project embedded in a multi-year clinical genomics study\, I demonstrate how qualitative methods and participatory design can shift the researcher-participant dynamic toward greater reciprocity and attention to enrolled families’ experiences. At the same time\, ethicists and social scientists can find themselves in an uncomfortable and even paradoxical position\, expected to facilitate project goals—such as recruitment of historically underrepresented groups—while simultaneously critically assessing the very categories of difference and measures being used. In the future\, team science collaborations can result in more just and broadly beneficial science if social science\, humanities and community partners are able to meaningfully contribute to the research agenda itself. \nBio: Sara Ackerman\, PhD\, MPH\, is a medical anthropologist and Professor of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the University of California\, San Francisco. Her research draws on ethnographic methods and public engagement to examine how genomics\, artificial intelligence and other emerging medical technologies affect the lives of patients and caregivers and shape conceptions of health\, illness and the public good. Sara teaches courses on community-engaged research\, qualitative methods\, and research ethics at UCSF. As Director of the Bioethics and Regulatory Support Program for UCSF’s Clinical and Translational Science Institute\, she is working to increase patient and public participation in decisions about the use of AI in clinical care and the sharing of patients’ clinical data for research. \nHosted by: Professor Karen Miga\, BME Department

SUMMARY:BME 280B Seminar: Artificial intelligence systems to advance engineered T cell immunotherapy designs
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Zinaida Good\, Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Immunology and Rheumatology and the Division of Computational Medicine\, Stanford University \nDescription: T cell immunotherapies have reshaped the treatment landscape for hematologic malignancies and are rapidly extending to solid tumors\, autoimmune diseases\, and transplant tolerance. Yet durable benefit remains inconsistent\, and toxicities remain clinically significant. The current discovery proceeds one edit at a time\, and existing preclinical models do not represent patient biology\, which often results in failure upon clinical translation. Overcoming these challenges to improve patient outcomes and reduce toxicities requires a systems-level understanding of the multiscale factors governing T cell function and toxicity in patients. Artificial intelligence (AI) approaches offer an exciting opportunity to tackle this problem by learning unified representations from diverse data types spanning molecular\, cellular\, and clinical modalities. I will provide an overview on our team’s approaches building AI systems that harness primary patient datasets to directly inform advanced T cell designs optimized for clinical outcomes\, with validation in preclinical models. \nBio: Zinaida Good\, Ph.D.\, is an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Immunology and Rheumatology and the Division of Computational Medicine at Stanford University. She also serves as the Director of the Stanford Center for Cancer Cell Therapy Data Hub. The goal of her research program is to understand and enhance engineered T cell immunotherapies for cancer and immune-mediated diseases through innovative computational approaches and systems immunology. Her lab leverages innovation in machine learning and clinical multiomic datasets to build artificial intelligence systems for advanced T cell therapy design. Dr. Good earned her Ph.D. in Computational & Systems Immunology from Stanford University. Her work includes 4 first-author papers (Nature Medicine 2018 & 2022\, Nature Biotechnology 2019\, Trends in Immunology 2019)\, 18+ co-authored papers (including Nature 2019\, 2022\, 2024\, Science 2021\, Nature Methods 2016\, 2022\, and NEJM 2024)\, and an initial senior author papers (ICML 2025\, NeurIPS 2025\, Frontiers in Immunology 2025). Her research is supported by the NIH/NCI Pathway to Independence Award\, NIH/OD Multimodal AI Initiative Award\, NIH/NCI Program Project Grant\, and the Weill Cancer Hub West. Dr. Good has been named an Arthur & Sandra Irving Cancer Immunology Fellow in 2022\, Parker Bridge Fellow in 2023\, and an AACR-Woman in Cancer Research Scholar in 2024. \nHosted by: Professor Vanessa Jonsson\, BMEbe Department

SUMMARY:BME 280B Seminar: The evolution of structural variation across vertebrate genomes
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Peter Sudmant\, Assistant Professor of Integrative Biology\, University of California\, Berkeley \nDescription: Structural variants (SVs) contribute substantially to genetic variation and play vital roles in adaptation and disease. However\, SVs are poorly captured by short read sequencing and thus are understudied\, particularly in non-model organisms. Here\, taking advantage of recently generated haplotype-resolved genome assemblies from >600 vertebrate species\, we present the most comprehensive survey of the diversity of SVs and single nucleotide variants (SNVs) across the vertebrate tree of life to date. \nBio: Peter Sudmant is an Assistant Professor of Integrative Biology at the University of California Berkeley. Prior to joining UC Berkeley\, Dr Sudmant completed his PhD at the University of Washington in the Lab of Dr Evan Eichler as HHMI International Fellow. Dr Sudmant went on to complete a postdoc with Christopher Burge at MIT as a Genentech fellow of the Life Sciences Research Foundation. Dr Sudmant is a recipient of the American Foundation for Aging Research Junior Faculty Award and a Hellman Fellow. \nHosted by: Professor Russ Corbett-Detig\, BME Department

SUMMARY:BME 280B Seminar: Satellite repeats encode megabase-scale transcription factor hubs
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Matt Franklin\, Postdoctoral Researcher\, Stanford University \nDescription: Eukaryotic genomes contain large stretches of repetitive DNA called satellite DNA\, often found near centromeres and ribosomal DNA regions. In humans\, alpha satellite has well-established roles in centromere biology\, however the functions of other human satellite DNAs remain largely unexplored. \nWe recently identified the Hippo pathway effector TEAD as a novel Human Satellite 3 (HSat3) binding TF. Because HSat3 is highly enriched near ribosomal DNA (rDNA) genes\, we examined whether the Hippo pathway regulates rDNA via HSat3. Our work demonstrates that HSat3 localizes the Hippo factors YAP and TEAD inside the nucleolus\, where YAP directly activates ribosomal RNA (rRNA) transcription. These findings present the first evidence that the Hippo pathway factor YAP directly regulates RNA Polymerase I activity. \nDisparate studies have identified examples of transcription factors that bind repetitive DNA elements through motif recognition. However\, a systematic search for such factors has not been conducted. Using Telomere-to-telomere genome assemblies\, we predicted and validated dozens of new satellite-binding TFs\, many of which are part of highly conserved signaling pathways. Beyond revealing a direct relationship between the Hippo pathway and ribosomal DNA regulation\, this work demonstrates that satellite DNA can encode a broad range of functional motifs\, hinting at new roles for these enormous genomic elements. \nBio: Following his undergraduate studies\, Matt conducted a 1-year research fellowship at EMBL Hamburg\, where he worked on X-ray scattering methods for structural biology. He then earned his PhD in chemical engineering at Stanford University\, where he investigated mechanotransduction and Hippo pathway signaling. Matt continued this research as a postdoc under Kun-Liang Guan at UC San Diego\, where he discovered that Hippo pathway effectors bind repetitive DNA elements. To expand on his newfound interest in repetitive DNA\, Matt returned to Stanford as a postdoctoral researcher under Nicolas Altemose\, where he is studying the functions of satellite repeats as hubs for transcription factor binding. \nHosted by: Professor Karen Miga\, BME Department

SUMMARY:BME 280B Seminar: Nature’s Miniature Masterpieces - Nanobodies as Small but Mighty Antibodies for the next Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Katja Hanack\, Founder and CEO\, New/Era/Mabs \nDescription: Nanobodies combine remarkable simplicity with surprising power. Their small size allows them to reach targets that remain inaccessible to conventional antibodies\, while maintaining high specificity and stability. Their compact architecture allows them to access targets that conventional antibodies cannot reach\, yet they preserve the specificity and power that make antibody therapeutics so transformative. In this talk I will introduce the science behind selma\, a cell based discovery platform developed over more than a decade to rapidly identify high quality antibodies and nanobodies. I will explore why these tiny binders matter\, how they differ from classical antibodies\, and what their unique biology enables for diagnostics and therapeutics. \nThe presentation will conclude with my current project on immune infrastructure and how pre validated nanobody archives can shift the pandemic response from a reactive model to proactive preparedness for future outbreaks. \nBio: Katja Hanack\, PhD\, MBA\, is the Founder and CEO of new/era/mabs and a leading expert in antibody discovery for diagnostic and therapeutic applications\, with a particular focus on nanobody technologies. With more than 20 years of experience\, she has developed pioneering platforms that enable the efficient generation and selection of next-generation monoclonal antibodies and nanobodies. She holds a Biology degree from Humboldt University of Berlin and a PhD in Biotechnology from the University of Potsdam. As a former Professor of Biochemistry and Biology at the University of Potsdam\, she built and led a research group of 25 scientists\, secured over €16 million in external funding\, and authored more than 40 peer-reviewed publications. Since 2017\, Dr. Hanack has contributed to translational innovation as an industrial advisor for SPARK Stanford and SPARK Berlin\, supporting academic teams in bringing biomedical discoveries to patients. \nHosted by: Professor Rebecca Dubois\, BME Department

SUMMARY:Chambers\, K. (BMEB) - Using Genomics and Artificial Intelligence to improve prognosis for osteosarcoma patients
DESCRIPTION:Transcriptomic profiling has been transformative in pediatric oncology. Pediatric cancers arise from disrupted developmental programs. Their impaired transcriptional states reflect cell lineage infidelity\, aberrant differentiation\, and immune-microenvironment interactions distinct from those of adult tumors(Gröbner et al.\, 2018; X. Ma et al.\, 2018). Within the osteosarcoma (OS) landscape\, despite being the most common bone tumor of childhood\, it remains one of the least genomically characterized pediatric cancers. Advancements in survival for localized disease\, outcomes for metastatic or recurrent OS have remained stagnant for decades. Transcriptomics characterization of OS has facilitated the exposure of the unique chromothripsis patterns associated with the disease (Sayles et al.\, 2019; Schott et al.\, 2023). Largely\, progress in OS genomics is still limited by the lack of harmonized\, cross-study datasets accessible to researchers. I detail my contributions to OS research\, beginning with the curation of the largest publicly available and harmonized RNA-sequencing osteosarcoma dataset (Chapter 2). A continuous part of my research involved the systematic democratization\, aggregation\, harmonization\, and open sharing of pediatric cancer transcriptomic datasets within the Treehouse Childhood Cancer Initiative (Beale et al.\, 2025). This dataset provided a foundation for the analyses and discoveries presented in this dissertation. I utilize the multi-cohort and transcriptomic multi-omic public OS dataset to discover and define biologically meaningful subtypes that may explain differences in progression and treatment response (Chapter 3). Finally\, I expand these advanced computational approaches into the realm of diagnostic pathology by evaluating strategies for integrating generative AI into rare cancer classification. I leverage both general and domain-specific diffusion models alongside GPT-4o–generated pathology prompts to guide histologic image synthesis (Chapter 4). In summary\, my work advances transcriptional subtyping in OS by leveraging transcriptomic data to identify molecular subtypes of OS that could inform treatment strategies. \nHost: Krizia Chambers\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Biomolecular Engineering & Bioinformatics  \nAdvisor: Olena Vaske \nZoom- https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93569812001?pwd=RWBuZUdQq2Yo1K4kQ75WRmP0uKjYAH.1&jst=3 \nPasscode- 915392

SUMMARY:Tran\, L. (BMEB) -  Polysome Shadowing: A Long-Read Sequencing Approach to Study Translation
DESCRIPTION:Translation is a central and highly regulated step of gene expression\, yet there are few quantitative\, high-throughput tools to study translation. Existing methods such as sucrose gradients provide only bulk ribosome counts\, while Ribo-Seq offers positional information in the genome but destroys long-range structure and transcript expression information. Because of these limitations\, many fundamental questions about mRNA translation into protein remain difficult to assay. In this proposal\, I outline my plans to develop a novel technology\, deemed Polysome Shadowing\, that covalently marks ribosome-unprotected regions of RNA with hyperactive base editors. Because ribosomes protect ~21–30 nt regions of mRNAs\, ribosome “shadows” appear as tracts of unedited bases in long-read sequencing. In Aim 1\, I will identify ribosome shadows on single molecules by increasing editing efficiency through optimization of dual cytosine and adenosine base editors and statistical modeling. In Aim 2\, I will maximize the accuracy of information recovered from highly-edited RNAs by developing a multipass library preparation protocol to generate high-confidence reads. In Aim 3\, I will apply the tools I have already developed to examine previously difficult-to-assay paradigms of translational control in the form of viral frameshifting mechanisms. Together\, completion of these aims will build an information-rich sequencing technology capable of positioning ribosomes on intact mRNAs while preserving long-range information and establish feasibility to study nascent paradigms. \nHost: Liam Tran\, Ph.D. Student\, Biomolecular Engineering and Bioinformatics  \nAdvisor: Joshua Arribere

SUMMARY:BME 280B Seminar: Gali Bai & David Haussler
DESCRIPTION:Presenter 1: Gali Bai\, BME/PBSE Doctoral Candidate\, Brooks Lab\, UC Santa Cruz \nTitle 1: Dissecting the contribution of chromatin accessibility to RNA transcription and processing with long-read sequencing \nDescription: Although all cells in an organism share the same genomic sequence\, transcriptional programs vary dramatically across cell types. This diversity is governed by epigenetic regulation involving the coordinated activities of chromatin remodelers\, histone modifiers\, and histone chaperones that precisely modulate chromatin accessibility. While previous studies have shown that chromatin accessibility at DNase I–hypersensitive sites such as promoters and enhancers is closely associated with gene expression\, much less is known about how chromatin influences transcription and RNA processing. To study how chromatin regulates RNA processing\, we perturbed yeast chromatin accessibility by deleting two highly conserved chromatin remodelers ISW1 and CHD1. With Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing\, we profiled nascent RNA\, full-length mRNA\, and chromatin fibers in wild-type and chd1 isw1 double-mutant yeast cells. Loss of ISW1 and CHD1 led to increased chromatin accessibility within intragenic regions\, accompanied by aberrant transcription initiation. Leveraging long-read data\, we associated distinct chromatin states with specific RNA processing events and isoform expression outcomes. Despite a similar level of chromatin perturbations across the genome\, genes with low baseline expression showed extensive transcriptional reprogramming\, whereas highly expressed genes remained largely unaffected. These discrepancies can be partially explained by differences in the enrichment of transcription initiation motifs. In intron-containing genes\, loss of ISW1 and CHD1 reduced splicing efficiency and increased intron retention\, likely due to disrupted RNAPII elongation in the double mutant. Together\, our findings highlight the crucial role of ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers in maintaining nucleosome organization and coordinating co-transcriptional RNA processing. \nPresenter 2: David Haussler\, Distinguished Professor\, UC Santa Cruz \nTitle 2: Brain Organoids \nBio: Haussler received his PhD in computer science from the University of Colorado at Boulder. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences\, the National Academy of Engineering\, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a fellow of AAAS and AAAI. He has won a number of awards\, including the 2015 Dan David Prize\, the 2011 Weldon Memorial Prize from University of Oxford\, the 2009 ASHG Curt Stern Award in Human Genetics\, the 2008 Senior Scientist Accomplishment Award from the International Society for Computational Biology\, the 2005 Dickson Prize for Science from Carnegie Mellon University\, and the 2003 ACM/AAAI Allen Newell Award in Artificial Intelligence. \nHosted by: Professor Josh Stuart\, BME Department
