DESCRIPTION:Prof. J. Christoper Love\, Massachusetts Institute of Technolo
 gy\, Cambridge\, MA (USA)\nDISTINGUISHED LECTURE IN BIOLOGICAL ENGINEERING
 \n(sandwiches served)\n\nAbstract:\nThe advance of technologies that use n
 anoliter-scale volumes in microfabricated systems to isolate individual ce
 lls is enabling new capabilities for measuring multiple attributes of each
 \, including genomic\, phenotypic and functional characteristics.  These 
 technologies also provide an opportunity to examine intercellular interact
 ions among discrete numbers of cells\, allowing measurements of cooperativ
 ity and time-dependent activities.  This talk will describe a technology 
 platform based on arrays of subnanoliter wells\, and associated methods\, 
 that allow integrated measurements of cellular traits.  Applications of t
 his platform to examine cellular phenotypes and interactions of immune cel
 ls will be discussed.  The capabilities provide new approaches to the dis
 covery of rare cells and novel biomarkers in disease.\n\nBio:\nJ. Christop
 her Love is an Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Koch Ins
 titute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT.  He is also an Associate M
 ember of the Broad Institute\, and an Associate Member at the Ragon Instit
 ute of MGH\, MIT\, and Harvard. Love earned a B.S. in chemistry from the U
 niversity of Virginia and a Ph.D. in physical chemistry at Harvard Univers
 ity under the supervision of George Whitesides. Following completion of hi
 s doctoral studies\, he extended his research into immunology at Harvard M
 edical School with Hidde Ploegh from 2004-2005\, and at the Immune Disease
  Institute from 2005-2007. Dr. Love was a W.M. Keck Distinguished Young Sc
 holar for Medical Research and a Dana Scholar for Human Immunology in 2009
 \, a Life Sciences Research Foundation Postdoc Fellow (Gilead Sciences) in
  2004\, and a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate Fellow fro
 m 1999-2002. He was also awarded the Foresight Distinguished Student Award
  in Nanotechnology in 2000. Love is also a Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar
