SUMMARY:FHS Research Seminar - Dr. Emma Griffiths - Pandemic Viral Surveillance in Canada and Around the World: Strategies for Data Harmonization and Integration to Fight COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:Pandemic viral surveillance in Canada and around the world: strategies for data harmonization and integration to fight COVID-19 \nDr. Emma Griffiths\nCentre for Infectious Disease and One Health\, Faculty of Health Sciences\, SFU \nAbstract\nPublic health laboratories around the world have used genomics to track SARS-CoV-2 transmission and outbreaks\, identify variants of concern\, and develop tests and vaccines. Contextual data (clinical/epidemiological and methods information) is critical for interpreting sequence data and analytical results\, however the way it is encoded greatly impacts the way it can be understood\, combined\, and used. Our lab has developed tools and data standards to better enable harmonization and integration of this information for public health surveillance in Canada and globally during the COVID-19 pandemic. These tools are also being repurposed for other pathogens\, and helping to shape the pathogen contextual data ecosystem needed to improve data sharing during health emergencies. \nBio\nDr. Emma Griffiths completed her PhD at McMaster University studying how indels (sequence inserts and deletions) can be used to study bacterial evolution. Since then she has used genetics approaches to understand how pathogens work. Now she uses informatics approaches to help public health agencies track and control those pathogens. \n  \n\nThis seminar will be held virtually over Zoom and recorded: https://sfu.zoom.us/j/69219598229?pwd=ZnZCVnR4NmNBbnpyc1FQbDVQWFFVUT09\nLocal Dial-In: 778-907-2071\nMeeting ID: 692 1959 8229 Password: 314185\nPlease visit the FHS Seminar Series webpage for further details: http://www.sfu.ca/fhs/news-events/events/seminar-series.html\nThe SFU FHS Research Seminar Series is open to the SFU and the broader research community.\nThe SFU FHS Research Seminar Series is an Accredited Small Group Learning by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Contextual data (clinical/epidemiological and methods information) is critical for interpreting sequence data and analytical results\, however the way it is encoded greatly impacts the way it can be understood\, combined\, and used. Our lab has developed tools and data standards to better enable harmonization and integration of this information for public health surveillance in Canada and globally during the COVID-19 pandemic. These tools are also being repurposed for other pathogens\, and helping to shape the pathogen contextual data ecosystem needed to improve data sharing during health emergencies. \nBio\nDr. Emma Griffiths completed her PhD at McMaster University studying how indels (sequence inserts and deletions) can be used to study bacterial evolution. Since then she has used genetics approaches to understand how pathogens work. Now she uses informatics approaches to help public health agencies track and control those pathogens. \n  \n\nThis seminar will be held virtually over Zoom and recorded: https://sfu.zoom.us/j/69219598229?pwd=ZnZCVnR4NmNBbnpyc1FQbDVQWFFVUT09\nLocal Dial-In: 778-907-2071\nMeeting ID: 692 1959 8229 Password: 314185\nPlease visit the FHS Seminar Series webpage for further details: http://www.sfu.ca/fhs/news-events/events/seminar-series.html\nThe SFU FHS Research Seminar Series is open to the SFU and the broader research community.\nThe SFU FHS Research Seminar Series is an Accredited Small Group Learning by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons.

SUMMARY:The 16th Harold Copp Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Vishva M. Dixit\, MD\, PhD\nGenentech\, Inc.\, San Francisco\nVice President of Early Discovery Research\nMember\, National Academy of Sciences\nForeign Member of the Royal Society (ForMemRS)\nMember\, National Academy of Medicine\nFellow\, American Academy of Arts and Sciences\nForeign Member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences\nForeign Member\, European Molecular Biology Organization \nZoom Registration Link: https://ubc.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5Eqcu2orjouEtXjYCnPN5i4i2cGtmHpH7u8 \nWhy so many ways to die? The non-canonical inflammasome pathway\nProper coordination of cellular metabolism and its integration with immune response is paramount to function of cells\, organs\, and organisms. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the main site for protein and lipid synthesis\, trafficking\, and the storage of cellular calcium. Work in our group over the past two decades demonstrated that ER also plays a significant role in adaptation to metabolic fluctuations\, adaptation to metabolic challenges\, and their integration to immune response. This important “integrated metabolic response” is disrupted by metabolic stress of chronic metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes in animal models and humans. Restoration of the ER adaptive folding responses by genetic or chemical means improve metabolic homeostasis in preclinical models and humans. Therefore\, understanding the compositional\, structural\, and functional regulation of the ER and the mechanisms giving rise to its dysfunction remain critical areas of investigation and carry important translational opportunities. In recent studies\, we have discovered alteration in structural organization and architecture of the organelle and identified adaptive responses that emanate from the ER during metabolic stress in physiological or pathological contexts. Here\, I will present emerging evidence integrating metaflammation to endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria function and regulation of interactions between organelles during metabolic fluctuations. I will also present our most recent observations on a novel pathway mediated by the NRF family of ER bound transcription factors\, which orchestrates previously unknown countermeasures against metabolic stress to preserve ER integrity and metabolic health. Finally\, how these molecular mechanisms may be exploited to understand chronic inflammatory diseases and leveraged to design novel and effective preventive and therapeutic strategies will be discussed. \nContact Information: Dr. Ivan Robert Nabi\n604-822-7000 ivan.robert.nabi@ubc.ca
