How Engineering and AI are Transforming Human Health

Episode 6 of the Penn Engineering Innovation & Impact podcast explores how chemical engineering, AI, and biochemistry converge at Penn to power the NSF Artificial Intelligence-driven RNA Foundry (NSF AIRFoundry).

Hosted by Vijay Kumar, Nemirovsky Family Dean of Penn Engineering and Professor in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics.

Guests include:

Daeyeon Lee, Russel Pierce and Elizabeth Crimian Heuer Professor in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, whose work examines the interactions of soft materials at or near interfaces to guide the assembly of macroscopic structures for applications in healthcare and sustainability;

Zachary Ives, Adani President’s Distinguished Professor and Chair of Computer and Information Science, who works on data integration and sharing, data provenance and trustworthiness, and machine learning systems; and

Kathy Liu, Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics in Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine, who brings her integral expertise in enzymology, biochemistry, spectroscopy, structural biology and RNA biology to this collaboration.

Each episode of Penn Engineering’s Innovation & Impact podcast shares insight from leading experts at Penn and Penn Engineering on science, technology and medicine.
