Talking to cells: biomolecular ultrasound to image and control cells deep inside the body
Prof Mikhail Shapiro (Max Delbrück Professor of Chemical Engineering & Medical Engineering, Caltech)
Chemistry Building Lecture Theatre 1
Hosted by James Armstrong in Bristol Medical School and the Bristol BioDesign Institute
A seminar with Prof Mikhail Shapiro (Max Delbrück Professor of Chemical Engineering & Medical Engineering, Caltech; Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute; Distinguished Chair, ESPCI 2024-5).
We develop technologies to image and control the function of cells deep inside the body. These technologies take advantage of biomolecules with unusual physical properties allowing them to interact with sound waves and magnetic fields. We apply these tools to problems in synthetic biology, neuroscience, cancer, immunology and the mammalian microbiome.
