SUMMARY:MSL Seminar Series: January – Invited Speaker\, Dr. Jilie Chai
DESCRIPTION:Invited Speaker: Dr. Jilie Chai\, MPI Germany \nTalk title: Biochemical functions of plant NLRs \nNucleotide binding and leucine-rich repeat containing receptors (NLRs) play a critical role in innate immunity of both animals and plants. Plant NLRs mediate specific recognition of pathogen effector proteins delivered into cells\, initiating effector-triggered immunity (ETI). Significant progress has been made in our understanding of ETI signaling mechanism during the past three years. Recognition of pathogen effectors results in assembly of oligomeric NLRs\, forming large protein complexes termed resistosomes that act as either cation channels or NADase holoenzymes to initiate ETI signaling. I will present what we have done about reconstitution of NLR resistosomes and structural and biochemical characterization of these large protein complexes. I will also present some unpublished data concerning a new biochemical activity (2´\,3´-cAMP/cGMP synthetase actvity) of plant TIR-containing. \nHost: Dr. Xin Li

SUMMARY:Putting Cancer in Its Place
DESCRIPTION:DATE: Jan 17\, 2022 – 12:00pm to 1:00pm \nLOCATION: 700-828 W. 10 Ave. VGH Research Pavilion \nPRESENTER: Trevor Dummer \nCancer prevention is central to a successful cancer control strategy. Improved knowledge about cancer risks\, and effective translation of this knowledge into action\, are essential for developing prevention activities. Place—where we live\, work and play—significantly influences the accumulation of cancer risks that are modifiable through policy\, regulatory\, and behaviour changes. In this presentation I will provide an overview of my cancer prevention research program\, highlighting specific studies evaluating the interaction between people\, places\, and cancer. Attendees of this talk will gain an understanding of how the environment influences cancer risk\, and how insight into the relationship between health and place can advance cancer prevention. \nPlease contact Pamela Lee (pamela.lee@ubc.ca) for in-person or Zoom details. \n\nFILES:  C2E2 Spotlight – 011722.pdf

SUMMARY:The Natural and Sexual Selection of Endometriosis
DESCRIPTION:We have developed a new theory for the proximate and ultimate causes of endometriosis. We describe evidence from genetics\, endocrinology\, morphology\, behaviour\, and life history that risk for endometriosis is driven by low prenatal and postnatal testosterone\, and that the evolution of endometriosis risks\, symptoms and correlates have been mediated by both sexual selection and natural selection. The work: (1) shows how sexual selection can lead to maladaptive extremes of reproductive adaptations that manifest in symptoms of disease\, (2) provides an example of conceptual sex biases in physiology and medicine\, and (3) provides new insights directly relevant to endometriosis treatment. \nSpeaker: Bernard Crespi\, Simon Fraser University

SUMMARY:The Natural and Sexual Selection of Endometriosis
DESCRIPTION:We have developed a new theory for the proximate and ultimate causes of endometriosis. We describe evidence from genetics\, endocrinology\, morphology\, behaviour\, and life history that risk for endometriosis is driven by low prenatal and postnatal testosterone\, and that the evolution of endometriosis risks\, symptoms and correlates have been mediated by both sexual selection and natural selection. The work: (1) shows how sexual selection can lead to maladaptive extremes of reproductive adaptations that manifest in symptoms of disease\, (2) provides an example of conceptual sex biases in physiology and medicine\, and (3) provides new insights directly relevant to endometriosis treatment. \nSpeaker: Bernard Crespi\, Simon Fraser University

SUMMARY:AI in Med Lecture: Dr. Anne Martel
DESCRIPTION:SBME x BMIAI x the BC Translational Digital Pathology Initiative are proud to co-present a special lecture:\n“Artificial Intelligence and digital pathology: dealing with the annotation bottleneck”\nABSTRACT \nThe introduction of scanners that are capable of digitizing microscopic slides at high magnification has led to an explosion of interest in computational pathology in general and deep learning applied to whole slide images (WSIs) in particular. In my lab at Sunnybrook\, we are developing AI models that can detect cancer\, automatically segment regions of interest\, and learn predictive and prognostic models that can be used to guide treatment decisions. In this talk I will outline some of the unique challenges of working with these extremely large WSIs and discuss some of the approaches that we have developed to overcome the problems of sparse annotations and weak\, noisy labels\, including self-supervision and multiple instance learning. I will also outline some of the challenges in deploying AI algorithms to the clinic.
