NUCare and Personal Health Informatics present Solving Biomolecular Puzzles with Video Games Monday, November 7th, 2016 12:00 - 1:00 PM 177 Huntington Ave, 12th floor Followed by a discussion with the speaker [cid:[log in to unmask]]Speaker: Seth Cooper, PhD Assistant Professor, CCIS & CAMD, Northeastern University Abstract: Understanding and engineering biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids has potential for impact in health and medicine. As many of the related problems are structural in nature, crowdsourcing solutions from participants, even those without a background in biochemistry, has shown to be a promising approach. Foldit and Nanocrafter are two freely available online scientific discovery games that have engaged many thousands of players in participating in biochemistry research over the past years. This talk will cover recent, ongoing, and future work in these games, including a competition between players and expert crystallographers, novel tools and interfaces for protein and small molecule manipulation, and player-designed DNA nanotechnology devices. Join us every Monday at 12:00 noon September 19th through December 5th (Location subject to change.) Upcoming seminars: 11/14 Nursing Technology Nancy Hanrahan, PhD, RN, Dean, School of Nursing, Northeastern University 11/21 Coaching to Death Presented by Timothy Bickmore PhD , Professor, College of Computer and Information Science and Bouve College of Health Science See the whole schedule.<http://www.northeastern.edu/nucare/events/seminar-series-2016-2017> Never miss a seminar announcement!
