SUMMARY:Growing up in Science with Dr. Gustavo Turecki
DESCRIPTION:Gustavo Turecki’s groundbreaking work in depression and suicide has been instrumental in the development of suicide research\, intervention and prevention initiatives in Canada and internationally. \nDr. Turecki is a recognized leader in the functional genomics and epigenetics of suicide and depression. A major component of Dr. Turecki’s research has been to understand the molecular changes that occur in the brains of individuals who struggle with depression and feel so hopeless that they consider taking their own life. His work shows how early life adversity affects behavioural and emotional development and influences suicide risk through epigenetic changes in specific areas of the brain. \nIn this work\, Dr. Turecki established the molecular link between social experience and the brain\, leading to a new field of study on the epigenetic basis of behaviour. Dr. Turecki’s understanding of how early traumatic life experiences influence the development of the brain has also had significant impact in the clinical setting by legitimizing the experiences of victims of childhood maltreatment. Additionally\, Dr. Turecki has produced promising biomarkers of antidepressant response\, which could contribute to improved patient management in daily practice. Dr. Turecki’s integration of molecular and clinical science research has positioned him as one of the world’s leading researchers in mood disorders and suicide. \nDr. Turecki is the current Chair of the Department of Psychiatry at McGill University\, the director of the FRQS Quebec Network on Suicide\, Mood Disorders and Related Disorders (RQSHA)\, Co-Director of the Douglas-Bell Canada Brain Bank\, and the founding director of the McGill Group for Suicide Studies (MGSS). Additionally\, he holds a Canada Research Chair in Major Depressive Disorder and Suicide. In his role as a clinician\, Dr. Turecki leads the Depressive Disorders Program at the Douglas Institute\, where he provides treatment to youth and adults with refractory major depressive disorder. Dr. Turecki regularly publishes his work in the highest-ranked journals\, including Nature and sister journals such as Nature Neuroscience\, with more than 400 publications during the length of his career. \nDr. Turecki completed his MD and residency in psychiatry at UNIFESP\, Brazil. He received his PhD in Neuroscience from McGill University.

SUMMARY:Biodiversity Lecture Series with Beth Shapiro
DESCRIPTION:Can (and should?) biotechnology reverse extinction?\nCould extinct species\, like mammoths and passenger pigeons\, be brought back to life? Is it possible to clone extinct species using the same or similar technologies that created Dolly the sheep in the 1990s? What are the chances that the science fiction of “Jurassic Park” will someday become science fact? \nIn this lecture\, Beth Shapiro\, ancient DNA scientist and author of How to Clone a Mammoth\, will discuss the real science behind the emerging idea known as “de-extinction.” From deciding which species should be restored\, to sequencing and editing their genomes\, to anticipating how revived populations might be overseen in the wild\, she will walk through the process of resurrecting extinct species\, considering the technical\, ethical and ecological challenges of de-extinction as well as its potential benefits. \nWhile she argues that it may never be possible to bring back an identical copy of a species that has gone extinct\, de-extinction technology is likely to provide new solutions to revitalize and stabilize contemporary ecosystems\, with benefits to the preservation of existing biodiversity. \nBeth Shapiro is an evolutionary biologist who specializes in the genetics of ice age animals and plants. As Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UC Santa Cruz and HHMI Investigator\, Beth uses DNA recovered from bones and other remains to study how species evolved through time and how human activities have affected and continue to affect this dynamic process. \nHer work focuses on organisms ranging from influenza to mammoths\, asking questions about domestication\, admixture\, speciation\, and pathogen evolution. Her current work develops techniques to recover increasingly trace amounts of DNA such as from environmental and forensic samples. \nA 2009 MacArthur Fellow\, Beth is also an award-winning popular science author and communicator who uses her research as a platform to explore the potential of genomic technologies for conservation and medicine. \nThis is a FREE event and it’s part of the Biodiversity Lecture Series\, organized jointly by the Biodiversity Research Centre and the Beaty Biodiversity Museum. Eventbrite RSVP required. \nThe event will be held in the Jack Poole Hall at the Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre.

DESCRIPTION:BCREGMED and the Dynamic Brain Circuits in Health & Disease team is excited to offer a full day workshop to facilitate the use of tissue clearing and expansion techniques in the regenerative medicine lab. \nNovember 7th\n9am-4pm \nDMCBH Koerner Labs Conference Centre\nFirst floor\, UBC Hospital Koerner Pavilion\n2211 Wesbrook Mall\nVancouver\, BC Canada\nV6T 2B5 \nPurpose\nBiological specimens are intrinsically difficult to image.  Currently used tools and methods\, which cut two-dimensional sections of tissue samples to provide insight into the cellular components\, lack in their ability to reveal the systemic nature of tissues and organs which are inherently three-dimensional. On the other hand\, imaging deep into intact tissues brings with it its own problems as a result of the obscuring effects of light scatter and the limitations of most commercial microscopes. \nTechniques to eliminate this scatter and provide understanding into the true behavior of tissues and organs have been developed\, however to our knowledge these techniques being under-utilized in research labs in BC due to their complexity and lack of appropriate equipment.  With the purchase of a new light sheet microscope for the Biomedical Research Centre at UBC\, tissue clearing and expansion will be made possible however training is needed on the various protocols of expansion and clearing\, 3D image analysis\, and troubleshooting to make sure these techniques are implemented effectively. \nTentative format \n\nJoshua Vaughn (University of Washington): details expansion and staining protocols with examples of expanded samples (30 min)\nJonathan Epp (University of Calgary): wide analysis approaches and open source clearing methods\n (30 min)\nZeiss: Data acquisition methods (30 min)\nZeiss: 3D image analysis (30 min)\n\nLUNCH & COFFEE BREAK sponsored by Zeiss \nHands-on component: Attendees apply their knowledge and analyze cleared tissues using software and pre-acquired files provided by Zeiss (2-3 hrs)

SUMMARY:Things I'm Still Learning About Commercializing Innovations... Over 40 Years Later
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the first presentation of the Commercialization Speaker Series!  Designed to support and engage faculty\, staff\, and trainees to enhance their knowledge of commercialization pathways for health research\, this series will focus on the commercialization process from discovery and intellectual property to venture financing and marketing strategies. \nIn this workshop you will learn: \n\nto articulate the discovery to market vs. need to market strategies.\nto translate 1+1+1 equals more than 3 into a reality rather a cliche.\nthe implications of various forms of dilutive and non-dilutive capital formation and deployment.\nto identify the characteristics in a “right” partner.\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Patrick McNees is a serial entrepreneur with over 40 years of experience developing companies and intellectual property.  He has been responsible for over two dozen inventions and other intellectual property in areas of health care\, life sciences\, software\, and financial services.  He was a Professor and Senior Associate Dean for Strategic Partnerships & Enterprise at the University of Alabama Birmingham.
