SUMMARY:Wenbin Tan\, Ph. D.
DESCRIPTION:Vasculopathy in COVID-19 and Pathogenesis of Cutaneous Vascular Malformations \nAbstract\nSARS-CoV-2-associated vasculopathy under hyperlipidemia and pathological progression of congenital vascular\nabnormalities in Port Wine Stains. In the first part\, we will present our clinical data for the first discovery of dyslipidemia\nin COVID-19 patients which have been substantially recognized. Mechanistically\, we have shown evidence of niche why\nobese subjects are more vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 attack. Using a spike protein–pseudotyped (Spp) lentivirus with the\nproper tropism of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein on the surface\, we have found that Spp lentiviruses preferably attack to\nendothelial cells in heart in obese but not normal weight mice\, leading to exaggerated vasculopathy and cardiomyopathy.\nCells with over-expression of Spike protein have impaired lipid metabolic and autophagy formation pathways\, resulting in\nincreased cell death in response to lipotoxicity. In the second part\, we will discuss the clinical molecular pathology of\ninfantile and early childhood PWS to show that (1) PWS is a disease with pathological alterations involving the entire skin\nphysiological milieu; (2) pluripotent cells with the GNAQ (R183Q) may give rise to multilineages in PWS; and (3) exocytosis\nof extracellular vesicles is enhanced in PWS vasculatures. \nBiography\nDr. Tan received his medical degree and master degree in Molecular Biology from XiangYa School of Medicine\, China. He\nreceived his PhD in neurobiology and neurophysiology from University of California\, Los Angeles. He joined Beckman\nLaser Institute at UC Irvine as an assistant project scientist in 2010 under the mentorship of Dr. Stuart Nelson. In 2018\,\nhe joined the department of cell biology and anatomy at School of Medicine University of South Carolina as an associate\nprofessor. \nREGISTER HERE \nSponsored by the Michael and Roberta Berns Laser Microbeam Program

SUMMARY:Song Hu\, Ph. D.
DESCRIPTION:Light + Sound: Peering into Brain Function and Metabolism \nAbstract\nExploiting the optical absorption contrast of blood hemoglobin\, photoacoustic microscopy (PAM) is an emerging technology for label-free imaging of the microvasculature\, which plays an essential role in supplying oxygen to the biological tissue and maintaining the metabolic activity in vivo. The multi-parametric PAM developed in Dr. Hu’s lab enables\, for the first time\, comprehensive and quantitative characterization of the microvascular structure\, function\, and associated tissue oxygen metabolism at the microscopic level. In this seminar\, Dr. Hu will present their latest progress on the development of PAM and the integration of PAM with other intravital light microscopy techniques for studying brain function and energy metabolism. \nBiography\nDr. Hu received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University and Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis. His research focuses on the development of photoacoustic and optical technologies for high-resolution structural\, functional\, metabolic\, and molecular imaging in vivo. Dr. Hu has published over 70 peer-reviewed articles in journals including Science\, Nature\, Nature Neuroscience\, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences\, and has delivered over 40 invited talks including a Neurotechnologies plenary talk at Photonics West (2018) and a President’s Symposium keynote talk at Annual Microcirculatory Society Meeting (2018). His publications\, including the 4th and 6th most cited articles in the Journal of Biomedical Optics since 2009 and the 5th most cited article in Optics Letters since 2007\, have accumulated around 9\,000 citations (h-index: 37). Dr. Hu is a recipient of the Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award (2014)\, the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (NSF CAREER) Award (2018)\, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Frontiers of Imaging Award (2020). \nREGISTER HERE \nSponsored by the Michael and Roberta Berns Laser Microbeam Program
