SUMMARY:2023 Michael Smith Distinguished Lecture – Dr. Karen Miga
DESCRIPTION:The annual Michael Smith Distinguished Lecture is organized in partnership with the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and the Michael Smith Laboratories. This event honours Nobel Laureate Dr. Michael Smith\, whose academic career was deeply rooted at UBC and where his legacy continues to inspires young generations of scientists. The first Michael Smith Distinguished Lecture was held in 2005. Since then\, many prestigious researchers have been invited to UBC to share their research with eager students\, faculty\, and staff. \nSpeaker: Dr. Karen Miga\nAssistant Professor – Biomolecular Engineering\, University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC)\nProject Director – Human Pangenome Reference Consortium (HPRC) Production Centre at UCSC\nCo-Founder – Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) consortium\nAssociate Director – UCSC Genomics Institute \nDr. Miga’s research program combines innovative computational and experimental approaches to produce the high-resolution sequence maps of human centromeric and pericentromeric DNAs. The Miga lab aims to uncover a new source of genetic and epigenetic variation in the human population\, which is useful to investigate novel associations between genotype and phenotype of inherited traits and disease. \nTalk Title: Expanding studies of global genomic diversity with complete\, telomere-to-telomere (T2T) assemblies \nAbstract: The human reference genome is the most widely used resource in human genetics and is due for a major update. Its current structure is a linear composite of merged haplotypes from more than 20 people\, with a single individual comprising most of the sequence. It contains biases and errors within a framework that does not represent global human genomic variation. A high-quality reference with global representation of common variants\, including single-nucleotide variants\, structural variants and functional elements\, is needed. The Human Pangenome Reference Consortium aims to create a more sophisticated and complete human reference genome with a graph-based\, telomere-to-telomere representation of global genomic diversity. Here we leverage innovations in technology\, study design and global partnerships with the goal of constructing the highest-possible quality human pangenome reference. Our goal is to improve data representation and streamline analyses to enable routine assembly of complete diploid genomes. With attention to ethical frameworks\, the human pangenome reference will contain a more accurate and diverse representation of global genomic variation\, improve gene–disease association studies across populations\, expand the scope of genomics research to the most repetitive and polymorphic regions of the genome\, and serve as the ultimate genetic resource for future biomedical research and precision medicine. \nThis seminar will be presented in a hybrid format. The in person talk will be hosted at the UBC Life Sciences Centre (LSC 1001). Audience members are welcome to attend either in person or via the zoom link. Those connecting via zoom will be able to ask questions during the Q&A portion using the chat function. \nZoom registration link: https://ubc.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5EsdeyqrDotHdbElpjEqEorncb6smcx3EjD \nHosted by: Dr. Freda Miller \nCo-presented by: The Michael Smith Laboratories and the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

SUMMARY:Novel Methods for Equitable People-Centred Health Measurement
DESCRIPTION:The Centre of Health Evaluation and Outcome Sciences (CHÉOS) is presenting a hybrid Work in Progress Seminar on April 5 featuring our Program Head of Patient-Reported outcomes Dr. Rick Sawatzky and Associate Director Dr. Amy Salmon to share their work looking at how to account for social determinants of health in patient-reported outcomes. \nIt is widely recognized that social inequities are associated with health outcomes. There has been significant progress made in measuring patients’ perspectives of their health (including symptoms\, mobility\, mental health\, and other aspects of their wellbeing). These patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are intended to understand the patient’s experience independent of conventional clinical assessments. Yet\, current methods of measuring PROs do not take social determinants of health (SDOH) into account. People from diverse genders\, cultures\, traditions\, and life experiences may understand and interpret some questions about their health differently. Ignoring such individual differences in how people respond to questions could lead to measurement biases that reinforce inequities by concealing or misrepresenting how they view their health. In view of this systemic injustice\, our team is developing and evaluating a new methodology for equitable people-centred health measurement (EPHM). We intend to tailor PRO measurements by directly integrating information about patients’ SDOH. In this presentation\, you will learn about: (a) this novel measurement methodology\, (b) the findings of our research that led to the development of this methodology\, and (c) the EPHM measurement project currently in progress.

SUMMARY:Unlocking Nature’s Potential: Using Genomics for Understanding and Benefiting from Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:What if the key to the best antibiotic or cancer treatment is hidden at the bottom of the ocean or the depths of a jungle? Could a blockbuster bioproduct be based on species in the Arctic or right under our feet? How can we know if these plant and animal species can adapt to climate change? Which are the necessary public policies and governance models to benefit socially\, environmentally and economically from such solutions? \nThis panel brings together leaders in bioproducts\, a field tackling the climate and environmental challenges of today and tomorrow. Bioproducts refer to products created from materials found in nature. The 2020 McKinsey report titled “The Bio Revolution” supports that the development of these technologies in the next 20 years could have a global economic impact of up to $4 trillion per year. Although biofuels and other industrial bioproducts are already being used by industry\, new technological discoveries are showing that the possibilities are much broader. Harvesting plant and animal species from which medicinal drugs\, biochemicals\, and other commercially valuable material can be created – a process called bioprospecting – is the new frontier. British Columbia and Canada as a whole has comparative advantages and could become globally competitive\, yet the full potential of bioproducts has yet to be harnessed. Policy action is required to unlock the potential so Canadians can enjoy the benefits of the products themselves and of the economic development they can create. \nLooking at examples and solutions at the local\, national\, and international level\, in the private\, public\, and not for profit sectors\, and in Western and Indigenous knowledge systems\, the panel will have an engaging and deep discussion around the use of genomics and how Canada can utilize these technologies for a better future. Lastly\, public perceptions will be discussed and specifically how the uptake of these technologies can be done in an equitable and responsible manner.

SUMMARY:Unlocking Nature’s Potential: Using Genomics for Understanding and Benefiting from Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:What if the key to the best antibiotic or cancer treatment is hidden at the bottom of the ocean or the depths of a jungle? Could a blockbuster bioproduct be based on species in the Arctic or right under our feet? How can we know if these plant and animal species can adapt to climate change? Which are the necessary public policies and governance models to benefit socially\, environmentally and economically from such solutions? \nThis panel brings together leaders in bioproducts\, a field tackling the climate and environmental challenges of today and tomorrow. Bioproducts refer to products created from materials found in nature. The 2020 McKinsey report titled “The Bio Revolution” supports that the development of these technologies in the next 20 years could have a global economic impact of up to $4 trillion per year. Although biofuels and other industrial bioproducts are already being used by industry\, new technological discoveries are showing that the possibilities are much broader. Harvesting plant and animal species from which medicinal drugs\, biochemicals\, and other commercially valuable material can be created – a process called bioprospecting – is the new frontier. British Columbia and Canada as a whole has comparative advantages and could become globally competitive\, yet the full potential of bioproducts has yet to be harnessed. Policy action is required to unlock the potential so Canadians can enjoy the benefits of the products themselves and of the economic development they can create. \nLooking at examples and solutions at the local\, national\, and international level\, in the private\, public\, and not for profit sectors\, and in Western and Indigenous knowledge systems\, the panel will have an engaging and deep discussion around the use of genomics and how Canada can utilize these technologies for a better future. Lastly\, public perceptions will be discussed and specifically how the uptake of these technologies can be done in an equitable and responsible manner.

SUMMARY:Implementing & Maintaining Women’s Employee Resource Groups
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will help you develop and maintain successful Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that effectively improve gender equity in the workplace. ERGs are critical in building a sense of community and belonging\, identifying areas for improvement\, and developing company-specific policies that suit your culture and organizational goals. We leave time for group discussion and Q&A to ensure all your questions are answered. This workshop is led by Sophie Warwick\, who has spent her career in structural engineering and specializes in developing in-house gender equity policies and chairing ERGs and advocacy groups. Key takeaways from this workshop include: \n– Understanding & communicating the value of advocacy and support groups.\n– How to develop an engaging group structure that can be maintained long-term.\n– Selecting and coaching the right group champions.\n– Appreciating intersectionality and how different groups may work together.\n– Setting up an annual calendar and enrolling key senior leaders.

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.
