SUMMARY:An Evening with Jeff Karp
DESCRIPTION:In the age of convenience\, information overload\, and endless exposure to stimuli\, it’s easy to trudge through the motions of life\, pressured\, distracted and seeking instant gratification. When this way of living becomes the norm\, it can immobilize us\, making it feel impossible to reclaim control of our lives with intention and enthusiasm. \nThere’s another way. Join us at Upstart & Crow on Sunday\, June 9 at 7 p.m. to learn about getting LIT with author\, Harvard Medical School professor and renowned bioinspirationalist\, Jeff Karp. Karp will be in conversation with Upstart & Crow cofounder\, Ian Gill. \nIn his new book\, LIT: Life Ignition Tools: Use Nature’s Playbook to Energize Your Brain\, Spark Ideas and Ignite Action (William Morrow)\, Karp teaches us to harness the vital wisdom and power of nature to place us into a lit state. Lit is a life magnifier\, a heightened state of awareness that drives curiosity\, connection\, and energy. In short: being lit takes us off autopilot and helps us stay alert\, present\, and fully engaged. \nDiagnosed with learning differences and ADHD at a young age\, Karp persisted through nearly insurmountable struggles. After discovering that he could think about thinking at age seven\, he became his own science experiment\, tapping into the lit state through trial and error to achieve hyper-awareness and explore his curiosity\, creativity and connection to nature. Decades later\, as a biotech innovator\, husband and father\, lit continues to encourage opportunities for innovation in his professional and personal lives. \nThis is a free event\, but please register for your spot on this Eventbrite\, as capacity is limited. Books will be available for purchase. \nAbout the author: \nJeff Karp\, Ph.D.\, is an acclaimed mentor and biomedical engineering professor at Harvard Medical School and MIT\, a Distinguished Chair at Brigham and Women’s Hospital\, and a fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. He has dedicated his research to bioinspired medical problem-solving\, and his lab’s technologies have led to the formation of twelve companies. The technologies they have developed include a tissue glue that can seal holes inside a beating heart; targeted therapy for osteoarthritis\, Crohn’s disease\, and brain disorders; “smart needles” that automatically stop when they reach their target; a nasal spray that neutralizes pathogens; and immunotherapy approaches to annihilate cancer. Dr. Karp is also head of innovation at Geoversity\, Nature’s University\, a rainforest conservancy located in one of the top biodiversity hotspots in the world. He was selected as the Outstanding Faculty Undergraduate Mentor among all faculty at MIT and the top graduate student mentor of Harvard-MIT students. Dr. Karp lives in Brookline\, Massachusetts\, with his wife\, children\, and two Cavalier King Charles spaniels. \nMore about Upstart & Crow: \nLocated on Granville Island\, Upstart & Crow is a literary arts studio for curious readers and creative storytellers alike. We are international in our outlook\, and local in our sensibilities. We create opportunities to surface new talent and champion bold ideas through events\, workshops\, literary launches\, unique partnerships — and yes\, we also sell books! \nHealth precautions: \nWe want this event to be fun and safe. Masks are welcome\, though we won’t enforce them. We hope that folks who come will be vaccinated and boosted and will stay home if they feel ill. \nAccessibility: \nThe main studio of our shop is accessible for folks with mobility aids. There is a washroom on the main floor available for attendees. \nQuestions: hello@upstartandcrow.com.

SUMMARY:Commercializing Your Research Through a Start-Up
DESCRIPTION:Interested in commercializing your biomedical research but don’t know where to start? Please join us on Monday\, June 24th @ 1pm ET for a 30 min presentation and 30 min Q&A period with Mathew Platt\, the Global Head of Venture Recruitment at the Creative Destruction Lab\, to learn how academic founded startups productize and commercialize their innovations with the support of mentorship obtained through the Creative Destruction Lab program. \nRegister here: www.tinyurl.com/CSMBxCDL \nPresenter Bio: Mathew Platt spent 10 years as an academic in the health sciences\, which culminated with a PhD in Human Physiology from the University of Guelph. In the Winter of 2019\, Mathew pivoted towards entrepreneurship by launching the Guelph Chapter of the Science to Business Network\, a non-profit event-based networking group that connects academics with non-academic career paths and mentors. In the Winter of 2020\, Mathew formally launched his post-academic career with the Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) as a Venture Manager\, where he reviewed over 600 applications from deep tech seed-stage startups from around the world and worked with 30+ health tech startups as they participated in the CDL mentorship program. Over his 4+ years at CDL he’s managed and trained a diverse team both as the Associate Director of Health at CDL-Toronto\, and now as the Head of Venture Recruitment for CDL’s international network of 13 sites and 33 cohorts\, which admit 675+ seed-stage startups. \nMore about CDL: The Creative Destruction Lab is a philanthropic organization offering a comprehensive 5-day mentorship program for pre-seed to seed stage science and technology startups. Unlike programs designed for general businesses\, CDL focuses sharply on ventures where their core differentiator is an innovation in science or technology. CDL operates a network of 13 international sites\, each running a different collection of specialized venture cohorts (called streams). Each “stream” strategically combines mentors (entrepreneurs\, investors\, scientists\, and economists) and admitted ventures into technology\, vertical\, or market-specific pools to optimize venture-mentor pairings. The program is competitive\, meaning only ventures who receive an endorsement from a mentor (and an investment of that mentor’s time to support the founder) are invited back to subsequent mentorship sessions. CDL doesn’t require equity or payment from the startups; it is a program dedicated to nurturing innovation without a financial burden on the participating ventures. CDL does not offer lab space to participating ventures. \nIf you have any questions\, please email Cathy Cozma (ecozma@bccrc.ca).

SUMMARY:SBME Seminar: Long Non-Coding RNAs in Pluripotency\, Development\, and Disease
DESCRIPTION:Seminar’s Abstract:\n“Well-regulated gene expression networks are responsible for establishing and maintaining cellular states during development. Of the early cell states present in development\, pluripotency is the cellular state that has the potential to derive all cell lineages of the embryo. Mutations in genes associated with pluripotency often lead to abnormal development and embryo lethality\, but much of the focus relating to these genes has been on protein-coding genes. However\, the last decade has seen the rise of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as novel players in the control of pluripotency\, development\, and several diseases including cancer and neurological disorders. As such\, our major goal is to understand the molecular mechanisms and functional interactions of lncRNAs in modulating cellular states. In this talk\, I will discuss how these lncRNA interactions influence mRNA splicing\, gene expression\, and ultimately cell fate\, but more specifically in the context of pluripotency.” \n\nDr. Samer Hussein’s Bio:\nDr. Samer Hussein is an associate professor and researcher at Université Laval and its affiliated Cancer Research Center. Dr. Hussein completed his Ph.D. in Neurological Sciences at McGill University\, Montréal\, Canada\, and his post-doctoral training at the University of Helsinki\, Finland\, and later at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute in Toronto\, Canada. He has published seminal work in the field of reprogramming demonstrating several key findings on how reprogramming to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) affects the chromatin state\, genetic stability\, and gene expression of cells undergoing this process of induced cell fate change. \nHis team now focuses on understanding the molecular underpinnings governing cell fate decision during embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation and during the evolution of cancer\, more specifically Glioblastoma. They use several bioinformatics and sequencing approaches\, such as long read RNA sequencing\, and ESC differentiation models\, such as human cerebral organoids\, to understand the molecular mechanisms and functional interactions of long non-coding RNAs during development and cancer. \nLocation:\nDMCBH 101 LT + Zoom
