SUMMARY:CBE Seminar Series: Susan Daniel
DESCRIPTION:Susan DanielDistinguished ProfessorDepartment of Chemical and Biomolecular EngineeringCornell University \n\n\n\nToward objective pain monitoring and treatment: Cell-free biosensors based on nociceptive ion channels\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEffectively monitoring and managing pain remain major challenges in the clinic and constitute active areas of research today. Given the subjective nature of the pain response and the ongoing opioid crisis\, there is a critical need to both identify new non-opioid drug targets for chronic pain management and provide more objective ways to measure pain. Using pain receptors themselves to monitor biomarkers of pain and screen potential channel blockers remains challenging\, with current drug screening protocols lacking quantitative and direct measures of receptor function and dysfunction. To improve the treatment and measurement of pain\, we describe here the development of prototypical pain biosensors. We utilize in vitro transcription and translation cell-free methods to rapidly express and integrate two distinct and pharmacologically relevant types of pain receptors into membrane-based sensing platforms: the Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channel and pro-algesic P2X purinergic receptors (P2X2)\, avoiding all the downsides of cell-based expression\, isolation\, and reconstitution into membranes and sensor platforms. Because these receptors are ligand-gated ion channels activated by different stimuli\, we then assess both channels’ responsiveness using electrical or optical methods to monitor changes in ionic flux across the membranes. \n\n\n\nIn our first system\, we show that devices containing P2X2 receptors show an increase in ionic flux following ATP administration\, indicating ligand-gated channel opening. This ion flux is abolished in the presence of a known P2X2 inhibitor\, but not the P2X7 inhibitor\, demonstrating the screening potential of this platform to identify new subtype specific therapeutics for pain management. Using the same in vitro expression system\, we then cell-free synthesized and integrated the human nociceptor TRPV1 channels into membrane vesicles containing a fluorescence-based ion flux reporter. In these vesicles TRPV1 channel opening could be stimulated by two distinct pain-causing stimuli – heat and capsaicin\, showing that in our minimal system\, this receptor subtype is responsive to distinct channel activators. The modular nature of these two platforms enables isolation and assessment of individual pain receptors in a way that is not possible using native cells in a convenient\, tailorable device compatible with rapid\, high throughput screening. Both electrical and optical platforms\, which contain cell free synthesized pain receptors\, provide new ways to study receptor function and advance our detection and treatment of pain.

SUMMARY:NEEP Seminar Series: Ericmoore Jossou\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
DESCRIPTION:NEEP Seminar SeriesThursdays12:00 – 1:00 PM106 Engineering Research BuildingPlease contact office@neep.wisc.edu for assistance with remote participation.In Situ and operando X-ray imaging of microstructural evolution in nuclear materialsX-ray imaging techniques including tomography\, and diffraction-based mapping offer powerful\, non-destructive means to probe the structural evolution of nuclear fuels and reactor materials under the extreme conditions relevant to their service life\, including high temperature\, irradiation\, and corrosive environments. This talk will discuss the application of synchrotron-based X-ray methods to visualize microstructural changes in fuels and structural alloys during fabrication\, hightemperature exposure\, irradiation\, and corrosion\, capturing phenomena such as porosity evolution\, phase transformations\, crack initiation and propagation\, swelling\, and corrosion-induced degradation. By enabling in situ and operando observation\, often coupled with complementary techniques such as thermal and mechanical loading\, these approaches provide direct insight into degradation mechanisms and performance-limiting behaviors that are difficult to access through post-irradiation/corrosion examination alone. Examples will highlight how time-resolved and spatially-resolved X-ray imaging is advancing the understanding of microstructure-property relationships in nuclear materials\, informing both fundamental materials science and the development of improved\, more radiation- and corrosion-tolerant fuel and structural material designs for current and next-generation reactor systems. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEricmoore Jossou is the John Clark Hardwick (1986) Professor in Nuclear Science and Engineering\, and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT\, where he leads the Materials in Extreme Environments Group. Before joining MIT\, he was a staff scientist at Brookhaven National Laboratory. He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering\, with a concentration in Materials Science\, in 2019 from the University of Saskatchewan. Jossou is a recipient of the 2026 NSF CAREER Award and the 2026 Ruth and Joel Spira Award for Excellence in Teaching\, recognizing his contributions to research and engineering education\, respectively. Jossou’s lab combines experiments with computational methods to establish structure-properties-performance relationships in materials for nuclear energy applications. His current research includes machine learning–assisted fabrication and evaluation of U-Zr alloys under normal and off-normal reactor conditions using real-time X-ray imaging; machine learning–assisted quantum mechanical modeling of aliovalent dopant effects on UO2 fuel sintering kinetics; development of machine learning interatomic potentials for variable charge states in actinide oxides; and in situ/operando monitoring of irradiation-assisted corrosion in light water reactor chemistry.
