“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.

“New Directions in Biomedical
Screening:
Adaptive Optics for Live
Non-Invasive 3D Volumetric Imaging”
Founded in
2011, TAG Optics designs and manufactures ultra high-speed variable focus
lenses for applications ranging from biomedical imaging to laser material
processing and robotic vision. After
completing degrees in Molecular Biology and Mechanical Engineering at
Princeton, Chris founded two medical device companies in the orthopedic and
drug delivery space; he then worked at Signum Biosciences, developing new
chemical entities (NCEs) for their central nervous system and dermatology
markets. His talk will survey leading-edge
optical imaging techniques for medical applications, and then delve into specific
real-time volumetric imaging applications, such as the future of blood-borne
pathogen disorder detection, and other medical imaging modalities enabled by
TAG Optics’ technology.

First Friday Lunch - October 2017
On 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.
Pre-registration is preferred.
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.
