SUMMARY:Women In Science - A Fireside Chat
DESCRIPTION:Event Summary\nJoin us for an insightful fireside chat with inspiring women-identifying scientists from diverse disciplines united by their history of conquering stigma and barriers faced by women and other minorities in STEM. Hear from these women about challenges they faced throughout their career and\, more importantly\, how they overcame them to stride towards success with grace and grit. Have the opportunity to ask your questions and determine how to navigate the current and future science landscape in Canada as a woman-identifying person. \nEvent objectives\nUnderstand the unconscious and conscious biases and barriers against women and other minorities in STEM\nLearn about challenges faced by successful women-identifying scientists in diverse disciplines and how they overcame them\nDetermine how to best set yourself up for success as a woman in STEM \nEvent Details\nMarch 25th\, 12 pm – 1 pm PST\nOnline (Zoom) \nRegister Here:\nhttps://www.s2bn.org/events-dg2jf/vancouver-victoria-women-in-science-a-fireside-chat \nSpeaker Bios \nDr. Larissa Vingilis-Jaremko\, Founder & President\nCanadian Association for Girls in Science (CAGIS)\nhttps://girlsinscience.ca/ \nIn 1992\, at age nine\, Larissa Vingilis-Jaremko founded the Canadian Association for Girls in Science (CAGIS)\, a not-for-profit organization that supports interest in science\, technology\, trades\, engineering\, and mathematics (STEM) among girls and gender nonconforming youth. As a child\, Larissa noticed that girls in her class had negative\, stereotyped images of STEM professionals\, stereotypes Larissa knew weren’t true because her parents\, a scientist and engineer\, didn’t fit the mould. She wanted to expose girls to diverse role models\, exploration\, and hands-on activities to break stereotypes and share the excitement of STEM. What started as a small\, local group of 20 girls expanded to a national organization with chapters across Canada.\nLarissa remains president of CAGIS and has become a strong voice and recognized expert internationally. She is often consulted by various levels of government\, speaks to the media regularly on issues relating to gender equity in STEM\, and serves as an adviser and consultant on numerous selection and review committees.\nLarissa has created awareness of the barriers that still exist\, and through her efforts has become renowned for her work. She has received a variety of honours including Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women\, Toronto Young Woman of Distinction\, London Young Woman of Excellence\, Youth in Motion Top 20 Under 20\, Chatelaine’s 80 Amazing Canadian Women to Watch\, and more. In addition to her work with CAGIS\, Larissa serves as chair of the board of directors of the Canadian Coalition of Women in Engineering\, Science\, Trades\, and Technology (CCWESTT). Larissa is trained as a vision scientist and received her PhD from McMaster University in 2013. \nDr. Edie Dullaghan\, Scientific Director\nadMare Academy\, adMare BioInnovations\nhttps://www.admarebio.com/ \nAs the Scientific Director of the adMare Academy\, Dr. Edie Dullaghan plays a direct role in the development and advancement of scientific talent within the Canadian life sciences ecosystem. At adMare\, Dr. Dullaghan supports the Academy’s programs\, including The BioInnovation Scientist Program\, a one-of-a-kind program for early-career scientists looking to build a drug development and commercialization career in Canada’s life sciences industry.\nPreviously\, Dr. Dullaghan worked at CDRD – The Centre for Drug Research and Development as the Director of Target Validation\, where she spent over ten years advancing made-in-Canada innovations while also mentoring the next generation of drug developers. Prior to joining CDRD\, Dr. Dullaghan served as the Pathogenomics Project Leader for Inimex Pharmaceuticals Inc.\, developing robust animal models of human infections with a focus toward host defense peptides and small molecules. Over the course of her career\, she has managed several large-scale R&D programs\, including leading a global collaboration with LifeArc and The Defence Science and Technology Laboratories (DSTL) in the United Kingdom using a novel approach in drug target discovery that capitalises on areas of commonality across pathogens.\nDr. Dullaghan obtained her PhD in the U.K. at the National Institute for Medical Research\, studying the molecular genetics of the SOS response in Mycobacterium tuberculosis\, the causative agent of TB. \nWould you like to join our S2BN Vancouver-Victoria team?\nEmail us at: s2bnvancouver@s2bn.org

As a child\, Larissa noticed that girls in her class had negative\, stereotyped images of STEM professionals\, stereotypes Larissa knew weren’t true because her parents\, a scientist and engineer\, didn’t fit the mould. She wanted to expose girls to diverse role models\, exploration\, and hands-on activities to break stereotypes and share the excitement of STEM. What started as a small\, local group of 20 girls expanded to a national organization with chapters across Canada.\nLarissa remains president of CAGIS and has become a strong voice and recognized expert internationally. She is often consulted by various levels of government\, speaks to the media regularly on issues relating to gender equity in STEM\, and serves as an adviser and consultant on numerous selection and review committees.\nLarissa has created awareness of the barriers that still exist\, and through her efforts has become renowned for her work. She has received a variety of honours including Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women\, Toronto Young Woman of Distinction\, London Young Woman of Excellence\, Youth in Motion Top 20 Under 20\, Chatelaine’s 80 Amazing Canadian Women to Watch\, and more. In addition to her work with CAGIS\, Larissa serves as chair of the board of directors of the Canadian Coalition of Women in Engineering\, Science\, Trades\, and Technology (CCWESTT). Larissa is trained as a vision scientist and received her PhD from McMaster University in 2013. \nDr. Edie Dullaghan\, Scientific Director\nadMare Academy\, adMare BioInnovations\nhttps://www.admarebio.com/ \nAs the Scientific Director of the adMare Academy\, Dr. Edie Dullaghan plays a direct role in the development and advancement of scientific talent within the Canadian life sciences ecosystem. At adMare\, Dr. Dullaghan supports the Academy’s programs\, including The BioInnovation Scientist Program\, a one-of-a-kind program for early-career scientists looking to build a drug development and commercialization career in Canada’s life sciences industry.\nPreviously\, Dr. Dullaghan worked at CDRD – The Centre for Drug Research and Development as the Director of Target Validation\, where she spent over ten years advancing made-in-Canada innovations while also mentoring the next generation of drug developers. Prior to joining CDRD\, Dr. Dullaghan served as the Pathogenomics Project Leader for Inimex Pharmaceuticals Inc.\, developing robust animal models of human infections with a focus toward host defense peptides and small molecules. Over the course of her career\, she has managed several large-scale R&D programs\, including leading a global collaboration with LifeArc and The Defence Science and Technology Laboratories (DSTL) in the United Kingdom using a novel approach in drug target discovery that capitalises on areas of commonality across pathogens.\nDr. Dullaghan obtained her PhD in the U.K. at the National Institute for Medical Research\, studying the molecular genetics of the SOS response in Mycobacterium tuberculosis\, the causative agent of TB. \nWould you like to join our S2BN Vancouver-Victoria team?\nEmail us at: s2bnvancouver@s2bn.org

SUMMARY:HQP Research Presentation Series
DESCRIPTION:The HQP Research Presentation Series gives NMIN HQP the opportunity to collaboratively develop their poster presentation skills\, deliver a presentation in a supportive environment\, and to receive constructive feedback. \nGold Nanoparticles Encapsulation into Polymeric Micelles for Cancer Theranostics \nThe presentation will discuss the development and characterization of hydrophobically modified gold nanoparticles by using poly(e-caprolactone)\, followed by their encapsulation into amphiphilic block copolymers\, and their potential as a new theranostic platform. \nTalita de Francesco obtaining her MSc in chemistry at University of Sao Paulo\, and is now a PhD candidate at University of Victoria. Her research goal is to develop a theranostic platform for cancer treatment by functionalizing and encapsulating gold nanoparticles into amphiphilic block copolymers. \nSingle-Particle Measurements of Size and Loading for Drug-delivery Lipid Nanoparticles \nTo understand the drug-loading mechanism of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and optimize the design of LNPs\, we developed a new imaging technique: Convex Lens-induced Confinement (CLiC) microscopy\, which can be used to track mobilized nanoparticles with single molecule resolution over long viewing times. I will talk about how we learned the spatial distribution of silencing RNA (siRNA) drug molecules within Onpattro LNPs and offer valuable insights into the LNP structure. \nYifei Gu obtained her M.Sc. in biophysics with Dr. Sabrina Leslie at McGill University and now worsk as a research assistant in the Leslie Lab within the Michael Smith Laboratories at UBC. Her research focuses on developing tools and assays to study the drug-loading and -releasing mechanism of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and help improve the design of an LNP drug delivery platform. \nX-Ray Triggered Drug Release of Hybrid Protein-Gold Nanoparticle \nThis research focuses on the use of hybrid Zein-gold nanoparticles in X-Ray triggered drug release. A proof-of-principle release study and characterization of the hybrid system shows promising results for its potential in cancers which combine high doses of chemotherapy and radiation\, such as head and neck cancer. \nCourtney van Ballegooie is a fifth year PhD student in Interdisciplinary Oncology Program at the University of British Columbia. Her research mainly focuses on developing an X-ray triggered release system for cancer treatments using gold and protein nanoparticle hybrids. \nREGISTER

SUMMARY:HQP Research Presentation Series
DESCRIPTION:The HQP Research Presentation Series gives NMIN HQP the opportunity to collaboratively develop their poster presentation skills\, deliver a presentation in a supportive environment\, and to receive constructive feedback. \nGold Nanoparticles Encapsulation into Polymeric Micelles for Cancer Theranostics \nThe presentation will discuss the development and characterization of hydrophobically modified gold nanoparticles by using poly(e-caprolactone)\, followed by their encapsulation into amphiphilic block copolymers\, and their potential as a new theranostic platform. \nTalita de Francesco obtaining her MSc in chemistry at University of Sao Paulo\, and is now a PhD candidate at University of Victoria. Her research goal is to develop a theranostic platform for cancer treatment by functionalizing and encapsulating gold nanoparticles into amphiphilic block copolymers. \nSingle-Particle Measurements of Size and Loading for Drug-delivery Lipid Nanoparticles \nTo understand the drug-loading mechanism of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and optimize the design of LNPs\, we developed a new imaging technique: Convex Lens-induced Confinement (CLiC) microscopy\, which can be used to track mobilized nanoparticles with single molecule resolution over long viewing times. I will talk about how we learned the spatial distribution of silencing RNA (siRNA) drug molecules within Onpattro LNPs and offer valuable insights into the LNP structure. \nYifei Gu obtained her M.Sc. in biophysics with Dr. Sabrina Leslie at McGill University and now worsk as a research assistant in the Leslie Lab within the Michael Smith Laboratories at UBC.
