SUMMARY:Technology Meets Biology: Changing How We Fight Disease
DESCRIPTION:Immerse yourself into the future of medicine – where virtual reality headsets help doctors diagnose neurodegenerative diseases before symptoms appear\, where engineered stem cells regenerate the body to treat disease and wearable motion sensors capture injuries as they occur in real life. This is biomedical engineering. \nBiomedical engineering combines engineering and design principles with biology and medicine. Collaboration among diverse minds at the UBC School of Biomedical Engineering has the potential to yield massive leaps forward in how we prevent\, manage and treat disease. \nHear from UBC experts Dr. Calvin Kuo\, Dr. Manu Madhav and Dr. Nika Shakiba about how the School of Biomedical Engineering is building a bold and boundless community of collaboration\, research and clinical expertise fueled by patient experience to bring interdisciplinary\, tailor-made medical solutions to patients faster and make them available to everyone. Dr. Peter Zandstra\, Director of the School of Biomedical Engineering\, will introduce the webinar topic.

SUMMARY:World AIDS Day: COVID\, Inequality & the Future of HIV
DESCRIPTION:This year marks forty years since the first case of AIDS was reported. While we have the tools and knowledge to address HIV and AIDS\, the world is failing to meet many of the targets set out by the international community as we enter the fifth decade of the pandemic. In Canada and around the world\, persistent and unaddressed social and structural inequalities continue to confound efforts to address the crisis. In the past two years\, we have also witnessed the impact of these inequalities as they have been further exposed\, and exploited\, by the COVID-19 pandemic. \nAligned with the UNAIDS theme of “End inequalities\, End AIDS\, End pandemics”\, the CTN is excited to offer a diverse set of speakers to discuss these important topics\, including recent advances in HIV vaccines\, what we have learned about COVID-19 in people living with HIV\, and the pervasive impact of social inequalities on our collective goals. \nDr. Rupert Kaul will discuss the latest developments in the pursuit of HIV vaccines\, as well as the possibility of a functional cure. \nDrs. Ann Burchell and Cecilia Costiniuk will describe the research being done to assess the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine in people living with HIV. \nDr. Pascal Djiadeu will be discussing the intersection of COVID-19 and the HIV/AIDS pandemic through the lens of social determinants of health. \nWe have also recognized that people may be growing tired of traditional webinars and virtual talks\, so we have planned something more creative and engaging. The event this year will feature short\, image-focused presentations\, which will be followed by audience questions\, emceed by Shari Margolese\, the Community Co-Lead of the CTN’s Cross-Core Community Collaborative (C4) teams. \nEveryone is welcome (& it’s free)!

DESCRIPTION:This year marks forty years since the first case of AIDS was reported. While we have the tools and knowledge to address HIV and AIDS\, the world is failing to meet many of the targets set out by the international community as we enter the fifth decade of the pandemic. In Canada and around the world\, persistent and unaddressed social and structural inequalities continue to confound efforts to address the crisis. In the past two years\, we have also witnessed the impact of these inequalities as they have been further exposed\, and exploited\, by the COVID-19 pandemic. \nAligned with the UNAIDS theme of “End inequalities\, End AIDS\, End pandemics”\, the CTN is excited to offer a diverse set of speakers to discuss these important topics\, including recent advances in HIV vaccines\, what we have learned about COVID-19 in people living with HIV\, and the pervasive impact of social inequalities on our collective goals. \nDr. Rupert Kaul will discuss the latest developments in the pursuit of HIV vaccines\, as well as the possibility of a functional cure. \nDrs. Ann Burchell and Cecilia Costiniuk will describe the research being done to assess the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccine in people living with HIV. \nDr. Pascal Djiadeu will be discussing the intersection of COVID-19 and the HIV/AIDS pandemic through the lens of social determinants of health. \nWe have also recognized that people may be growing tired of traditional webinars and virtual talks\, so we have planned something more creative and engaging. The event this year will feature short\, image-focused presentations\, which will be followed by audience questions\, emceed by Shari Margolese\, the Community Co-Lead of the CTN’s Cross-Core Community Collaborative (C4) teams. \nEveryone is welcome (& it’s free)!

SUMMARY:Vaccine Hesitancy in the Information Age
DESCRIPTION:In 2019\, the World Health Organization named vaccine hesitancy as one of the top ten threats to global health. Vaccine hesitancy and mistrust in science are troubling trends that are growing despite unprecedented access to information – or perhaps because of it? \nAre you curious about why someone you know won’t get vaccinated? Join us for a multi-disciplinary discussion and Q&A focused on understanding the root causes of scientific and institutional mistrust\, combating misinformation\, and learning communication tools to discuss vaccine hesitancy with friends\, family\, and the public. This is an opportunity to have your questions answered. \nHosted by UBC Department of Microbiology & Immunology Graduate Students and the UBC Vaccine Literacy Club. \nRegister Now\n\n\nIn line with UBC Health & Safety guidelines\, proof of vaccination is required to attend the in-person event. \n\nAbout the Panelists:\n\n\n\nDr. David King received his PhD in health psychology from UBC in 2013. He teaches undergraduate courses in personality psychology\, the psychology of sex differences\, and health psychology at UBC. His current research examines how stress unfolds within social contexts of varying size and complexity\, from intimate relationships to broad sociocultural environments. In one area of research\, he explores how people cope with the threat of infectious disease\, from H1N1 and seasonal influenza to COVID-19. This work has highlighted an important role of empathy in motivating people to engage in recommended health precautions. In recent years\, he has been especially attentive to the role of personality and human motivation in conspiracy theories\, vaccine hesitancy\, and other forms of extremism\, with hopes of helping to improve science literacy through community engagement. \n  \n\nDr. Krishana Sankar completed her PhD at the University of Toronto in the Faculty of Medicine. In addition to over ten years of research experience\, she is also passionate about countering misinformation and has been dispelling misconceptions around healthcare issues for several years. During the COVID-19 pandemic\, she has been working to share accurate scientific information with different communities in Canada and Guyana. Dr Sankar is currently the Science Advisor and Community Partnerships Lead for ScienceUpFirst\, a Canadian campaign that aims to combat misinformation around COVID-19 and vaccines. Through her work with the organization\, she has engaged and collaborated with several community partners that serve those in the underserved and marginalized populations. A major aim of her work is to remove barriers to access of accurate and relevant information to tackle misinformation in these groups. \n  \n\nDr. Ève Dubé is a medical anthropologist. She is affiliated with Quebec National Institute of Public Health in Quebec\, and is a research scientist at the Research Center of the CHU-Québec and an invited professor in the Department of Anthropology at Laval University. Her research program focuses on the sociocultural determinants of vaccination. She is the lead investigator of the Social Sciences and Humanities Network of the Canadian Immunization Research Network. Dr Dube is interested in how to enhance vaccine acceptance and uptake and is leading different projects around this issue. She sits on a number of committees as an expert on vaccine acceptance and hesitancy and was a member of the World Health Organization working group on vaccine hesitancy. \n  \nDr. Manish Sadarangani is Director of the Vaccine Evaluation Center at the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute and an Associate Professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases\, UBC Department of Pediatrics. He completed his undergraduate medical training and pediatric residency in Cambridge\, Oxford\, and London. He then completed his PhD with the Oxford Vaccine Group in the UK\, developing novel vaccine candidates for protection against capsular group B meningococcal disease.

SUMMARY:Vaccine Hesitancy in the Information Age
DESCRIPTION:In 2019\, the World Health Organization named vaccine hesitancy as one of the top ten threats to global health. Vaccine hesitancy and mistrust in science are troubling trends that are growing despite unprecedented access to information – or perhaps because of it? \nAre you curious about why someone you know won’t get vaccinated? Join us for a multi-disciplinary discussion and Q&A focused on understanding the root causes of scientific and institutional mistrust\, combating misinformation\, and learning communication tools to discuss vaccine hesitancy with friends\, family\, and the public. This is an opportunity to have your questions answered. \nHosted by UBC Department of Microbiology & Immunology Graduate Students and the UBC Vaccine Literacy Club. \nRegister Now\n\n\nIn line with UBC Health & Safety guidelines\, proof of vaccination is required to attend the in-person event. \n\nAbout the Panelists:\n\n\n\nDr. David King received his PhD in health psychology from UBC in 2013. He teaches undergraduate courses in personality psychology\, the psychology of sex differences\, and health psychology at UBC. His current research examines how stress unfolds within social contexts of varying size and complexity\, from intimate relationships to broad sociocultural environments. In one area of research\, he explores how people cope with the threat of infectious disease\, from H1N1 and seasonal influenza to COVID-19. This work has highlighted an important role of empathy in motivating people to engage in recommended health precautions. In recent years\, he has been especially attentive to the role of personality and human motivation in conspiracy theories\, vaccine hesitancy\, and other forms of extremism\, with hopes of helping to improve science literacy through community engagement. \n  \n\nDr. Krishana Sankar completed her PhD at the University of Toronto in the Faculty of Medicine. In addition to over ten years of research experience\, she is also passionate about countering misinformation and has been dispelling misconceptions around healthcare issues for several years. During the COVID-19 pandemic\, she has been working to share accurate scientific information with different communities in Canada and Guyana. Dr Sankar is currently the Science Advisor and Community Partnerships Lead for ScienceUpFirst\, a Canadian campaign that aims to combat misinformation around COVID-19 and vaccines. Through her work with the organization\, she has engaged and collaborated with several community partners that serve those in the underserved and marginalized populations. A major aim of her work is to remove barriers to access of accurate and relevant information to tackle misinformation in these groups. \n  \n\nDr. Ève Dubé is a medical anthropologist. She is affiliated with Quebec National Institute of Public Health in Quebec\, and is a research scientist at the Research Center of the CHU-Québec and an invited professor in the Department of Anthropology at Laval University. Her research program focuses on the sociocultural determinants of vaccination. She is the lead investigator of the Social Sciences and Humanities Network of the Canadian Immunization Research Network. Dr Dube is interested in how to enhance vaccine acceptance and uptake and is leading different projects around this issue. She sits on a number of committees as an expert on vaccine acceptance and hesitancy and was a member of the World Health Organization working group on vaccine hesitancy. \n  \nDr. Manish Sadarangani is Director of the Vaccine Evaluation Center at the BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute and an Associate Professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases\, UBC Department of Pediatrics. He completed his undergraduate medical training and pediatric residency in Cambridge\, Oxford\, and London. He then completed his PhD with the Oxford Vaccine Group in the UK\, developing novel vaccine candidates for protection against capsular group B meningococcal disease.
