“Beyond Bitcoin: How Blockchain is  

Transforming Cryptocurrency, Commerce and the Arts”

After graduating from Princeton with a degree in Economics, Devin held several positions at BlackRock, concentrating on Platform Innovation.  This was followed by an internship, ongoing, at uPort, a self-sovereign identity solution built on the Ethereum blockchain, housed within ConsenSys. Concurrently, she is pursuing an MBA in MIT’s Sloan School of Management, where she has led an MIT Media Lab Digital Currency Initiative Working Group, as well as the first MBA Blockchain Venture Competition hosted by ConsenSys.  Devin’s talk will commence with a primer on Blockchain and its history. She will then delineate applications beyond cryptocurrency, and trace the decentralizing and disruptive impacts this technology is generating in all our lives --- from currency to IP to our very identity.

First Friday Lunch - October 2017

Join us for First Fridays, a monthly recurring event for undergraduate and graduate Princeton alumni, graduate students, and parents.  On the first Friday of each month, area alumni and their guests will meet to enjoy a prix fixe luncheon at the Nassau Club in downtown Princeton.  As a special bonus for PA3, a Princeton University PhD candidate will present his/her work to the group in this informal setting.  Topics vary monthly and are always interesting!  Have a look at our impressive roster of previous luncheons.

Allison SimiOn Friday, October 6th, 2017, we will be joined by Allison Simi, a 6th year PhD candidate in Chemical and Biological Engineering.  Allison studies how mechanical properties of the tumor microenvironment influence the malignant potential of the surrounding cells. Tumors are inherently stiffer than normal tissue, and this feature is known to induce changes in the organization and proliferation of cells. Using a 2-D engineered microenvironment to model tissue stiffness, Allison has found that as the stiffness increases, cells frequently acquire more than one nucleus. These "multinucleated" cells are a known driver of cancer. Understanding how the properties of the tumor microenvironment can initiate cancer is essential to the development of effective treatments. 

As always, there is sure to be a lively discussion! Please join us.


Specially priced at $25/person (or $30 if you choose not to pay PA3's annual dues), lunch includes three courses, a complementary soft drink and coffee/tea. [**Wine/beer offered a la carte**] 
Pre-registration is preferred.


>> Looking forward to seeing you...in your orange and black! <<

Date: Friday, October 6th, 2017
Time: 12 noon - 2 pm
Location: Nassau Club, 6 Mercer St, Princeton, NJ
Nassau Club membership is not necessary to attend this event.
Dress is business casual.
