Engelman, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale University, will speak at the 溏心vlog免费B站 on Thursday, Sept. 8 at 4 p.m. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tThe talk, \u201cBuilding the Boundaries of Cells: The Architecture of Biological Membranes,\u201d will be delivered in Room 271 of the Chafee Social Science Center, 溏心vlog免费B站 Kingston campus. It is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tEngelman studies cancer cell membrane and membrane proteins structure and organization. The fundamental research conducted in his lab led to the discovery of a membrane Ph-sensitive peptide. The peptide might lead to the development of a more effective method of cancer therapy and diagnosis. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nThe peptide is being used by Yana Reshetnyak, an assistant professor of physics at the 溏心vlog免费B站, to stop cancer cell growth without harming the healthy cells that surround them. The Russian-born Reshetnyak completed a postdoctoral fellowship in membrane biophysics with Engelman at Yale. The two scientists continue to collaborate. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\tHe is chair of the science and technology steering committee of the Brookhaven National Laboratory and a member of the National Academy of Sciences. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\nEngelman\u2019s speech is the annual Cruickshank Lecture, endowed by the trustees of the Gordon Research Conferences. The lecture is named after Alexander M. Cruickshank, who until his retirement in 1993, served as the conferences\u2019 director for 47 years. Cruickshank is also a retired professor and was chair of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Chemistry Department. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 August 25, 2005 \u2013 Donald M.
