SUMMARY:Genome BC’s Annual Genomics Forum
DESCRIPTION:While British Columbia is set to develop an efficient\, competitive and sustainable economy\, this will require new\, innovative technologies — including genomics.  As well\, it will require socio-economic approaches to achieve sustainable agriculture and fisheries\, food safety\, sustainable use of renewable biological resources for industrial processes\, environmental protection\, preservation of biodiversity and finally\, policy and market development. \nJoin us for Genome BC’s Annual Genomics Forum on May 12\, bringing together engaging speakers with unique experiences and backgrounds to discuss the role of genomics toward achieving a sustainable economic future. \nTraditionally\, the Genomics Forum brings together leaders from the life sciences community\, business\, industry\, and policy makers. This year’s virtual event is also open to the science engaged public as well as teachers and students.

SUMMARY:2022 BCRegMed 6th Annual Symposium
DESCRIPTION:BCREGMED is proud to host our annual Symposium taking place May 18th\, 2022 from 8:30AM-6PM at the Nest on UBC’s beautiful campus. \nThe ongoing goal of BCREGMED is to provide opportunities for members of the regenerative medicine and cell therapy community to come together\, identify existing gaps in the field\, pursue new collaborations\, and continue working toward effective and permanent solutions to some of today’s most challenging and prevalent health care issues. We believe this goal can be just as effectively realized through our new digital mediums. \nAs in previous years\, we will showcase trainee research through posters\, our Rapid Fire Talks\, and select full-length presentations!

SUMMARY:Cancer Nanomedicine: Using Gold Nanoparticles to Overcome Radiotherapy Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Globally\, Cancer is the second leading cause of death. In 2018\, there were 18.1 million new cases worldwide and 9.5 million cancer-related deaths. By 2040\, the number of new cancer cases per year is expected to rise to 29.5 million and the number of cancer-related deaths to 16.4 million. Approximately 50 percent of all cancer patients can benefit from radiotherapy (RT) in the management of their disease. Of these\, approximately half present early enough to pursue curative treatment approaches. \nThe major limitation to reaching a curative RT dose in high-risk (locally advanced) non-metastatic tumors is the high sensitivity to radiation and subsequent damage to the surrounding normal tissues. In an effort towards reducing side effects while increasing the damage to the tumour\, targeting of high atomic number materials such as gold nanoparticles (GNPs) as radiosensitizers to the tumour tissue has shown promising results. \nMoving forward\, understanding of the complex biological system present in and around the tumour is essential for optimizing the use of the radiosensitizing GNPs\, as outlined by a consortium of labs\, including my own. In this talk\, I will discuss the importance of using GNP-based novel strategies to overcome current challenges imposed by the tumour microenvironment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Devika Chithrani is an associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Victoria\, Canada. She was awarded the faculty gold medal and the gold medal for physics when she received her bachelor’s degree (first class honors). To continue her graduate studies\, she was awarded a prestigious NSERC Graduate scholarship in materials science and engineering at University of Toronto. Following successful completion of her doctoral work\, she was awarded one of the most prestigious awards in Canada\, the NSERC PDF\, to continue her post-graduate research at the University of Toronto. \nDr. Chithrani now leverages nanotechnology to create innovations that advance the care of cancer patients.

SUMMARY:Cancer Nanomedicine: Using Gold Nanoparticles to Overcome Radiotherapy Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Globally\, Cancer is the second leading cause of death. In 2018\, there were 18.1 million new cases worldwide and 9.5 million cancer-related deaths. By 2040\, the number of new cancer cases per year is expected to rise to 29.5 million and the number of cancer-related deaths to 16.4 million. Approximately 50 percent of all cancer patients can benefit from radiotherapy (RT) in the management of their disease. Of these\, approximately half present early enough to pursue curative treatment approaches. \nThe major limitation to reaching a curative RT dose in high-risk (locally advanced) non-metastatic tumors is the high sensitivity to radiation and subsequent damage to the surrounding normal tissues. In an effort towards reducing side effects while increasing the damage to the tumour\, targeting of high atomic number materials such as gold nanoparticles (GNPs) as radiosensitizers to the tumour tissue has shown promising results. \nMoving forward\, understanding of the complex biological system present in and around the tumour is essential for optimizing the use of the radiosensitizing GNPs\, as outlined by a consortium of labs\, including my own. In this talk\, I will discuss the importance of using GNP-based novel strategies to overcome current challenges imposed by the tumour microenvironment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Devika Chithrani is an associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Victoria\, Canada. She was awarded the faculty gold medal and the gold medal for physics when she received her bachelor’s degree (first class honors). To continue her graduate studies\, she was awarded a prestigious NSERC Graduate scholarship in materials science and engineering at University of Toronto.
