SUMMARY:Next-Generation RNA Vaccines & Therapies
DESCRIPTION:RNA vaccines have enabled a rapid and effective response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. However\, there are still major challenges in the field\, including enhancing the duration of immunity and minimizing the side effects associated with these vaccines. We will address strategies to overcome these challenges\, and explore future applications of RNA medicines.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Anna Blakney is an Assistant Professor in the Michael Smith Laboratories and School of Biomedical Engineering at UBC. She received her Bachelor of Science in Chemical & Biological Engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder\, and her PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Washington. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Imperial College London on the development of molecular and biomaterial engineering strategies for delivery of self-amplifying RNA. Her lab uses bioengineering\, molecular biology and immunology approaches to develop the next generation of RNA vaccines and therapies. She is also a passionate science communicator and runs a TikTok channel dedicated to educating the public about RNA biotechnology\, which now has >250\,000 followers and >18M views.

SUMMARY:WiP Seminar: Dr. Anita Ho
DESCRIPTION:From AI for Degenerative Conditions to Generative AI: Ethical Considerations \nArtificial intelligence (AI) has garnered tremendous attention in health care\, and there are high hopes that AI predictive algorithms can empower self-monitoring patients to prevent\, identify\, and manage illness progression. Drawing from lessons derived from an embedded ethics study exploring stakeholders’ views around the use of computer vision to monitor and predict the progression of Parkinson’s Disease\, this presentation introduces my new research on using a multi-layer ethical framework that attends to intersecting personal\, interpersonal\, professional/institutional\, and societal considerations to navigate the rapidly expanding space of using generative AI in health care.
