Frankenstein— Body Building: A DIY Kit
Program Description
The panel discussion will tackle the science of tissue engineering and physiology, bioethics. Moderator Morgane Golan will guide the conversation and encourage audience Q&A participation. We will have 3D-Printing demos with a DIY Body-Building Kit as well as Rec Room Books (local bookstore) with Mary Shelley novel as the novel showcased.
Film Synopsis
A brilliant but egotistical scientist brings a monstrous creature to life in a daring experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.
Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist, brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation. A retelling of the classic novel about what it means to be human, to crave love, and seek understanding.
About the Speaker
Cheryl Gomillion, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the College of Engineering and a member of the Regenerative Bioscience Center at the University of Georgia. She leads the Tissue Regeneration (RegenX) Laboratory, which focuses on developing natural tissue replacements to restore damaged or diseased tissues. Dr. Gomillion specializes in tissue engineering, biomaterials design, and cell-based therapeutics, as well as biomedical engineering education.
Jarrod Call, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine and a member of the Regenerative Bioscience Center at the University of Georgia. He leads the Mitochondrial & Regenerative Physiology Lab, specializing in skeletal muscle biology, muscle injury recovery, and regenerative rehabilitation. Dr. Call investigates mechanisms to understand and improve muscle function in aging and disease.
Morgane Golan, Ph.D., is an award-winning educator and postdoctoral associate specializing in regenerative biology and medicine at the University of Georgia. Dr. Golan recently earned her Ph.D. in Regenerative Bioscience, and her doctoral research focused on optimizing a stem cell-derived therapeutic to create more accessible treatments for brain injury and neurodegenerative diseases.
