In this lecture, materials chemist Joanna Aizenberg will give us a taste of how the inspiration from nature teaches us to break barriers between these fields in the synthetic realm and leads to fascinating new concepts in materials design. She will look at a deep sea sponge and envision a green, illuminated skyscraper that harvests energy from the wind. The brittle star's intricate skeleton will inspire dynamic optical systems that can collect light. She will present cilia-inspired adaptive hairy surfaces that alter their wetting, optical, and adhesive behavior via chemomechanical reconfiguration of tiny nanostructures. Creating liquid-sensing "noses" from chemically patterned photonic crystals inspired by butterflies, or ultra-slippery, antifouling surfaces with self-tuning transparency inspired by pitcher plant and cacti - these are just the beginning of the multifunctional, dynamic materials possibilities waiting to be explored at the interdisciplinary border between biology, chemistry, and physics.

The program can be completed in one year of full-time study or in two years on a part-time schedule. Course work includes instruction in core theory, drawn from imaging physics, engineering and mathematics and linked to physiology and disease processes, providing a foundation in interdisciplinary scholarship. In addition to introduction the fundamentals underlying image formation, hands-on laboratory courses with experiments relevant for characterizing pathologies, monitoring response to therapy and assessing hte underlying mechanisms and etiologies, will be offered. Electives allow students to customize the program to their interests, including the option to perform independent research studies. Computational Biology and Bio Informatics Program at USC The University of Southern California (USC) is an international leading institution in Computational Biology and Bioinformatics for more than 30 years. Since Michael Waterman joined USC in 1982, the group has grown to include 9 core faculty members, 9 affiliated professors, and more than 50 doctoral students and postdoctoral associates. Our research is supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), as well as private foundations. From NIH we were awarded two Center of Excellence in Genome Science (2003 and 2009), a Center for Disease Knowledge Base and Coordination (2011), and a Center for Integrative Genome Structure Analysis (2015). Students in our program may choose from a broad set of research topics, with the following areas receiving particular emphasis: * Computational structural biology * Quantitative genetics and evolutionary biology * Genomics and epigenomics * Network analytics * Systems biology * Metagenomics * Sequence analysis, genome assembly and mapping * Molecular and Brain imaging data analysis * Molecular modeling and design * Methodology for analyzing big data During the initial semesters, training in statistics and computer science provides our students with a robust foundation in data science. In their dissertation research, students examine biological and biomedical questions using quantitative approaches and develop novel methods for biological data analysis. Incoming students receive financial support for a minimum of five years. Financial support includes a monthly stipend, paid tuition, and health insurance coverage.
