IEEE Madison’s November 7th 3 pm tour is at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery’s Saha Lab where they use CRISPR technology for addressing inherited retinal disorders. We’ll tour the lab, see a CRISPR machine and see how the output is used. Welcome to the CRISPR Vision Program at the University of Wisconsin- Madison! UW – Madison is a part of the Somatic Cell Genome Editing (SCGE) Consortium funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We're innovating non-viral gene editing therapies for inherited retinal disorders. Our work aims to bring the groundbreaking potential of CRISPR technology to those affected by these diseases. The labs focus lies in overcoming the limitations of existing viral delivery systems and introducing novel, non-viral treatments for inherited eye diseases, particularly those affecting the retinal pigment epithelium. As a part of the SCGE Consortium, the lab is working in a community dedicated to developing safe and effective gene editing methods to treat genetic diseases in somatic cells.

Speaker: Professor S. N. (Prem) Piramanayagam School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Abstract: Neuromorphic computing or brain-inspired computing is considered as a potential solution to overcome the energy inefficiency of the von Neumann architecture for artificial intelligence applications . To realize spin-based neuromorphic computing practically, it is essential to design and fabricate electronic analogues of neurons and synapses. An electronic analogue of a synaptic device should provide multiple resistance states. A neuron device should receive multiple inputs and should provide a pulse output when the summation of the multiple inputs exceeds a threshold. Our group has been carrying out investigations on the design and development of various synaptic and neuron devices in our laboratory. Domain wall (DW) devices based on magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), where the DW can be moved by spin-orbit torque, are suitable candidates for the fabrication of synaptic and neuron devices . Spin-orbit torque helps in achieving DW motion at low energies whereas the use of MTJs helps in translating DW position information into resistance levels (or voltage pulses) . This talk will summarize various designs of synthetic neurons synaptic elements and materials . The first half of the talk will be at an introductory level, aimed at first-year graduate students. The second half will provide details of the latest research. 2145 Sheridan Road, Tech L440, Evanston, Illinois, United States, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/450901
