ML Seminar: Peptide Targeting for Novel Therapies and Cell Biology
Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2022, 11 a.m. through Wednesday, Oct. 5, 2022, Noon
3-180 Keller Hall and via Zoom
The UMN Machine Learning Seminar Series brings together faculty, students, and local industrial partners who are interested in the theoretical, computational, and applied aspects of machine learning, to pose problems, exchange ideas, and foster collaborations. The talks are every Wednesday from 11 a.m. - 12 p.m. during the Fall 2022 semester.
This week's speaker, Hong Pang (UMN Department of Pharmaceutics), will be giving a talk titled "Peptide Targeting for Novel Therapies and Cell Biology."
Biography
Dr. Pang is an assistant professor at the Department of Pharmaceutics, University of Minnesota. He graduated from University of Utah as a PhD of biochemistry, and did postdoc training at Sanford-Burnham-Prebys institute at La Jolla, CA.
His lab is specialized in developing peptide-based targeted therapeutics, and eliciting the cellular transport processes. Using phage display, his lab is screening for peptides targeting any given disease or cell type, and deciphering the underlying biomarkers. Through chemical modification and nanotechnology, his lab applies targeting peptides to improve the delivery efficiency and specificity of therapeutic and diagnostic payloads. Moreover, he is interested in the endocytosis, exocytosis and intercellular communication triggered by peptides and their payloads. Using simulation and experimental approaches, his group is investigating the biophysical and molecular basis of these transport processes.
