Professor Natalia Komarova talks about mathematical models of genetic instability in cancer.

Interview with Dr. Natalia Komarova

Robert Sulc from the Shea Lab in the Chemistry Department explains his work with ant nestmate recognition cues - the hydrocarbons he creates might one day be able to start a civil war in an ant nest.

Interview with Rob Sulc

Interview with Alexander Sadovsky about his work modeling embryonic wound healing. He received his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics and Biomechanics from UCI and is now working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Genomics and Bioinformatics and the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences.

Tony Burke from UCI's Chemistry Department explains natural product synthesis.

Interview with Tony Burke

Sophie (So Hyun) Chung is a Ph.D. student in biomedical engineering doing research at the Beckman Laser Institute at UCI. She is studying tissue water state changes in breast cancer tissues with diffuse optical spectroscopy (DOS), a non-invasive bedside optical technique for tissue physiological property monitoring. DOS was developed by the director of BLI, Bruce J. Tromberg, Ph.D., and his colleagues. Sophie has received a Research Excellence Award from the International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE) and Newport Spectra-Physics.

Interview with Sophie Chung

Lindsey VanSchoiack is a Ph.D. candidate in biomedical engineering at UCI. Her research is focused on studying calcification and implant stability and integration in biological systems using an instrument developed by her advisor Jim C. Earthman, Ph.D. Lindsey received an Achievement Rewards for College Scientists (ARCS) Fellowship from the Orange County chapter of ARCS, a national organization.
