Place: Animal Science building, seminar room 2nd floor
We are most fortunate to have Prof. Braatz visit us at campus Aas where he will give a talk entitled "Integrative measurement and modelling in Life Sciences – some examples". Richard D. Braatz is Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Computational Science and Engineering, Bioengineering, Applied Mathematics, and Nanoscale Science and Technology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA, and has been invited to Norway to deliver the prestigious annual Industry Lecture at the Norwegian Chemical Society (Norsk Kjemisk Selskap) in Oslo.
This seminar describes examples of integrative measurement and modelling applied to two very different problems in the life sciences:
1. Applications of modeling, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, laser backscattering, and statistics/ chemometrics to pharmaceutical crystallization.
2. "How much information can you obtain by pulling adhesive bonds apart?" The analysis of force-distance data measured from pulling many neural cell adhesion molecules apart with Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), to gain insights into the molecular structure of single molecules.
