SUMMARY:Cellular and Physiological Sciences Careers Fair 2023
DESCRIPTION:​This dynamic event brings together life sciences professionals in academia and industry representatives from local Vancouver companies with graduate students and postdoctoral fellows for an evening of career exploration.\n\n​The event will begin with a panel discussion with several members of the UBC academic community\, followed by a resume workshop that is designed to help students translate their academic experience into marketable skills for industry. Following these sessions\, we will host a networking social in which students will be able to network with business leaders/scientists\, and HR professionals\, learn about the different companies and career options\, and make connections to facilitate future job searching.\n\n​As one of CPhyGS’s major events\, we are very excited to bring back our Careers Fair in person this year. Join us in making meaningful local connections and taking the first steps into the job market.

SUMMARY:Access to Innovation
DESCRIPTION:Our 8th Annual Access to Innovation conference is a full day event that brings together life sciences leaders from academia\, research\, health institutions\, government\, and industry to discuss emerging trends\, innovation\, economic impact\, translational science\, and policies to advance the sector. This year’s event will resume in person. \nThe BC life sciences sector has never been stronger\, leading the country in the pace of discovery and company creation. By leveraging our world-class research\, we are well-positioned to deliver innovative product solutions and services critical to the health system while driving economic diversification and competitiveness. \nAs leaders\, we need to seize the opportunity to significantly advance the sector and ensure that BC builds on the extraordinary momentum of the last few years by working together to develop policies and strategies that attract capital and talent and enable scale. The time for sustained collaborative action – between industry\, research and academia\, and government – is now. \nPlease join us as we dive into the most pressing issues facing the BC life sciences sector. \nConfirmed Speakers: \nPaul Armitage\, Partner\, Gowling WLG\nDr. Julia Bickford\, Regional Director\, Research Evaluation and Analytics\, Northern Health\nDr. Michael Chen\, Clinical Pathologist\, Department of Laboratory Medicine\, Island Health; Adjunct Assistant Professor\, University of British Columbia & University of Victoria\nAbi Coman-Walker\, COO\, Acuitas Therapeutics\nStephen Filby\, Founder & Principal Consultant\, WestPAR Consultancy\nDr. David Goodlett\, Professor\, University of Victoria; Director\, University of Victoria-Genome BC Proteomics Centre\nDr. Fraser Hof\, AVP Research\, University of Victoria\nDr. Diana Ionescu\, Clinical Professor\, University of British Columbia; Consultant Pathologist\, BC Cancer Agency\nDr. Tim Jacobs\, Director\, Molecular Design & Engineering\, AbCellera\nDr. Shirin Kalyan\, VP\, Scientific Innovation\, Qu Biologics\nDr. Barb Kinnaird\, CEO\, Response Biomedical\nDr. Véronique Lecault\, COO\, AbCellera\nJennifer Marles\, Partner\, Oyen Wiggs\nDr. Robert McMaster\, Vice Dean\, Research & Professor\, Department of Medical Genetics\, University of British Columbia\nNathan Michaels\, Director\, Precision Medicine and Genetic Services\, Ministry of Health\nAlison Orth\, Director\, Clinical Trials BC\, Michael Smith Health Research BC\nDr. Federica Di Palma\, CSO & VP\, Research and Innovation\, Genome BC\nEric Petersson\, Trade Commissioner\, Pacific Regional Office\, Global Affairs Canada\nDarcia Pope\, Chief Transformation Officer & Vice President\, Innovation & Planetary Health\, Vancouver Coastal Health\nAndrea Sambati\, President and CEO\, Boehringer Ingelheim Canada\nAngie Schick\, Executive Director\, New Ventures BC\nHelen Sheridan\, Chief Human Resources Officer\, STEMCELL Technologies\nDr. Cynthia Shippam\, Industry Technology Advisor\, National Research Council Canada – IRAP\nDr. Ted Steiner\, Professor\, Medicine & Head of the Division of Infectious Diseases\, University of British Columbia\nDr. Gavin C.E.

DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that our Friday February 24th (4pm – 6:30pm) free networking event appies sponsor is the SFU i2I Program (Invention to Innovation – SFU Beedie School of Business). I2I provides graduate and post-doc research scientists\, faculty\, start-up ventures or personnel in existing science-based firms with essential frameworks\, perspectives and techniques to contribute to the translation of knowledge to real-world applications\, start ventures\, lead business development or new product development and increase commercialization in labs or industry. If you’d like to get involved\, find out more\, or just socialize/network\, see you there!The D.R.I.N.K.S. (Discussions Relevant to Inspiring New Knowledge and Science) social is held monthly at Mahoneys on Stamps Landing (Old Monk Mcqueens on False Creek at 601 Stamps Landing – http://mahonyandsons.com/). The purpose (if you need an excuse to stay a little later!) is to bring together faculty\, clinicians\, engineers\, nurses\, physio/rehab\, scientists\, residents\, trainees\, staff\, entrepreneurs\, bio/pharm/hospital staff/execs/veterans\, lawyers\, VCs\, journalists/editors\, philanthropists\, visiting scientists\, those on sabbaticals\, and others with common interests in biomedical/translational research & discovery/commercialization once a month to casually interact and meet new people over a beverage of their choice and/or appie. It’s also a great way for people that have just moved to\, just visiting Vancouver\, looking for collaborations\, jobs\, funding\, connections

SUMMARY:In Good Company: The Human Trial
DESCRIPTION:In 2011\, filmmakers Lisa Hepner and Guy Mossman heard about a radical stem cell treatment for diabetes\, a disease that kills more than five million people each year. Driven by a desire to cure Lisa of her own type 1 diabetes\, the married couple secured unprecedented\, real-time access to a clinical trial in San Diego —only the sixth-ever embryonic stem cell trial in the world. What follows is an intimate journey with the patients and scientists who put themselves on the line to be first. In the world of biotech and medical research\, there are no tidy solutions. \nIn person screening: Gordon and Leslie Diamond Health Care Centre Rm 2264 \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:What About Copper and Immuno-Oncology?
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Bally’s BC Cancer Research team is pursuing a hypothesis that combinations of immunogenic Cell Death (ICD)⁠—inducing drug candidates\, enhanced by complexation with copper⁠—will significantly improve the therapeutic benefits obtained following treatment with immune check point inhibitors (CPIs).\n \nThe use of immune CPIs is viewed as “game changing\,” as many cancer patients with different types of cancer are now exhibiting long-term responses as judged by survival. Sadly\, however\, the benefits are seen in only a small subset of patients.\n \nDr. Bally’s lab is hoping that the long-term survival rate for patients that receive immune CPIs can double through the implementation of strategies that involve combinations with small molecular weight compounds that change the tumour micro-environment to one that is more immune supportive.
