SUMMARY:PBSS Luncheon Seminar: The Role of the Microbiome in Health and Disease
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. Brett Finlay (University of British Columbia)\nOrganizers: \nDate: 4/3/2019\nTime: 11:00-13:00\nRegistration fee (CDN): ;\nLocation: The Floral Hall at VanDusen Gardens\, Oak St. at 37th Ave\, Vancouver\nMajor Sponsor: \nVendor show vendors registered to date: (2)BRI Biopharmaceutical Research Inc.; ICON PLC\nRegistration: http://www.PBSS.org\nRegistration deadline:4/2/2019  (it will close sooner if the seating cap is reached) \nAbout the Topic \nWe are covered in microbes. We have only recently realized they play a profound impact on both our health and disease throughout our lives. We will discuss how the microbiome affects early life (asthma\, obesity\, brain development)\, as well as healthy aging. We will also discuss what we can do about it given our current state of scientific knowledge. \nAbout the Speakers \nDr. B. Brett Finlay is a Professor in the Michael Smith Laboratories\, and the Departments of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology\, and Microbiology and Immunology at the University of British Columbia. He obtained a B.Sc. (Honors) in Biochemistry at the University of Alberta\, where he also did his Ph.D. (1986) in Biochemistry. His post-doctoral studies were performed with Dr. Stanley Falkow at the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine\, where he studied Salmonella invasion into host cells. In 1989\, he joined UBC as an Assistant Professor in the Biotechnology Laboratory. Dr. Finlay’s research interests are focussed on host-microbe interactions\, at the molecular level. By combining cell biology with microbiology\, he has been at the forefront of the field called Cellular Microbiology\, making several fundamental discoveries in this area\, and publishing over 500 papers (h index=127). His laboratory studies several pathogenic bacteria\, including Salmonella and pathogenic E. coli\, and more recently microbiota. He is well recognized internationally for his work\, and has won several prestigious awards. He is an Officer of the Order of Canada and Order of British Columbia\, and inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame. He is a cofounder of Inimex Pharmaceuticals\, Inc. and Microbiome Insights\, scientific cofounder of Vedanta Pharmaceuticals and CommenSe\, Director of the SARS Accelerated Vaccine Initiative\, and Founding Director and Senior Fellow of CIFAR’s Microbes and Humans. He is also the co-author of the books Let Them Eat Dirt and The Whole Body Biome.

Props and creative presentation styles are encouraged! \nIf you’re interested in competing\, please apply using the following link: https://forms.gle/4VQM4dQnXgBQUK7u5 or email us at scislamYVR@gmail.com. If you’re not sure about an idea\, just ask! \nDoors open at 7pm\, event begins at 7:30pm. As this is a mini-slam\, admission is free! Space is limited\, so attendance to this event will be on a first come first in basis. \nAccessibility Notes: \nScience Slam acknowledges that this event takes place on the traditional\, ancestral\, and unceded territory of the Squamish\, Sto:lo\, Musqueam\, and Tsleil Waututh Nation. Many of our attendees\, Science Slam included\, are are guests of these territories and must act accordingly. \nScience Slam is an inclusive event\, and as a result hate speech and abuse will not be tolerated.
