SUMMARY:Adipose Biology Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:The adipose tissue is an organ widely distributed throughout the body\, and it is involved in a large variety of medical conditions and metabolic disorders. In recent years\, there has been a growing interest in adipose tissue biology research\, both internationally and locally\, in different departments and institutes. This seminar series serves to facilitate discussion and foster collaborations between PIs and trainees with an interest in adipose tissue research in the Toronto region and beyond. The Adipose Biology Seminar Series is an online monthly meeting in which PIs and trainees will present and discuss novel data pertinent to adipose tissue biology. We aim to host speakers from diverse research foci such as obesity\, diabetes\, cancer and trauma to provide an opportunity to learn about exciting new developments in the field and build connections within a local network. If you are interested in showcasing your work and ideas to the adipose research community\, please contact the meeting organizers. \nTo join this group\, please send an email.

SUMMARY:Myogenesis Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Please send an email to find out more about the myogenesis discussion group. \nAbout the Myogenesis Discussion Group\nThe study of myology (skeletal\, smooth and cardiac muscle structure\, function and development) has wide-ranging importance in the field of regenerative medicine. Skeletal muscle is the most abundant tissue in the human body and cardiac muscle is required to circulate blood throughout it. Furthermore\, smooth muscle is present in the walls of hollow organs and the vasculature system\, making these tissues critical for normal physiological function. The goal of this discussion group is to explore models of development\, disease and regeneration in muscle tissues\, as well as potential therapeutic approaches. Within this\, we aim to discuss novel techniques to quantitatively measure all aspects of myology and the challenges associated with developing representative models for these complex tissues.

SUMMARY:Synthetic Biology Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Michael Aregger\, a post-doctoral fellow in the Moffat lab\, will give a talk titled “Global mapping of human genetic interactions using CRISPR-Cas screens.” \nThis group is open to investigators\, trainees and staff affiliated with the University of Toronto. To sign up and receive information about upcoming meetings\, please contact Laura Prochazka. \n\nLearn more about Medicine by Design discussion groups\n\nTalk Abstract\nCRISPR-Cas technology has revolutionized genome editing and has facilitated the elucidation of gene function and therapeutic targets for diseases such as cancer. During my PostDoc in Jason Moffat’s lab I have developed and applied genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screens for the identification of fitness genes in human cells. More recently\, I have applied CRISPR screens for the global mapping of genetic interactions for genes functioning in cellular metabolism\, whose rewiring is a cancer hallmark and a major focus in the development of novel therapeutic agents. Our data reveals extensive cross talk between metabolic pathways and uncovered the functional role of previously uncharacterized genes. Finally\, we have developed a novel CRISPR-Cas screening platform that allows for highly specific combinatorial targeting of multiple genes\, genetic elements or genomic sites. We have applied this platform to reveal extensive genetic interactions between paralogous genes and uncovered previously masked phenotypes due to genetic redundancy. \nCollectively\, in this seminar I will present the CRISPR-based screening strategies we have generated to map genetic interaction networks in human cells that can be leveraged to study the wiring of cellular states\, determine novel gene functions and serve as a source for the rational design of combinatorial anti-cancer therapeutic strategies.

SUMMARY:Synthetic Biology Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Jenise Chen\, a PhD candidate in the Kelley lab\, will give a talk titled “A multiplexed\, electrochemical interface for cell-free synthetic toehold-mediated gene networks”. \nThis group is open to investigators\, trainees and staff affiliated with the University of Toronto. To sign up and receive information about upcoming meetings\, please contact Laura Prochazka. \n\nLearn more about Medicine by Design discussion groups\n\nTalk abstract\nThe implementation of colorimetric detection techniques has offered a powerful means of producing rapid qualitative results with easy visual readout. However\, these techniques are usually limited to either a “yes” or “no” answer and have difficulty multiplexing over three targets simultaneously. Electrochemical detection is capable of providing solutions to these limitations. The key advantage of electrochemical assays is the ability for signal amplification\, allowing for trace analyte detection. Recent literature has highlighted the promising avenues of synthetic biology and cell-free gene circuits. This project is the first of its kind to detect cell-free synthetic gene circuits through electrochemical readout. A gold-based electrochemical sensor has been designed to implement five different detection sites for restriction enzyme cutting of surface-immobilized DNA labelled with methylene blue. Restriction enzymes are produced through a cell-free toehold gene circuit and are easily redesigned for disease-specific detection. By coupling electrochemical detection and cell-free toehold gene circuits\, we were able to create a multiplexed assay for applications in antibiotics and antibiotic resistance detection.
