DESCRIPTION:Prof. Michelle D. Wang\, Cornell University\, Ithaca\, NY (USA
 )\nDISTINGUISHED LECTURE IN BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERINGAbstract:\nOur current r
 esearch focuses on dynamics and regulation of molecular motors that transl
 ocate along DNA during replication and transcription. To directly measure 
 these processes at the single molecule level\, we develop and utilize stat
 e-of-the-art (and often one-of-a-kind) instruments and novel techniques. I
  will discuss both the novel instruments as well as discoveries enabled by
  these techniques.Bio:\nDr. Michelle Wang is a Professor of Physics\, a Pr
 ofessor of Cell & Developmental Biology\, and a Howard Hughes Medical Inst
 itute Investigator.\nDr. Wang joined the Physics Department at Cornell in 
 1998. Her lab has pioneered a number of novel single molecule optical trap
 ping techniques. Since joining Cornell\, Dr. Wang has actively pursued int
 erdisciplinary research through collaborations with a large number of facu
 lty on and off campus.\nShe is a member of the Field of Biophysics\, the F
 ield of Biochemistry\, Molecular and Cellular Biology\, and the Nanobiotec
 hnology Center.\nDr. Wang has received numerous awards\, including the Kec
 k Foundation Distinguished Young Scholar in Medical Research Award\, the B
 eckman Young Investigator Award\, the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow Awar
 d\, and the Damon Runyon Scholar Award. She is a Fellow of the American Ph
 ysical Society.
