SUMMARY:Global Speaker Series: Anne Brunet\, PhD - Stanford University
DESCRIPTION:The Medicine by Design Global Speaker Series invites established and emerging international leaders in regenerative medicine to engage with our extraordinary community of researchers and clinicians. \nMedicine by Design\, in partnership with the McEwen Stem Cell Institute\, is pleased to welcome Anne Brunet\, PhD\, Professor of Genetics at Stanford University. \nThe title of this talk will be\, Mechanisms of Aging. \n Register for this virtual event. \n \nMore About anne brunet:\nDr. Brunet obtained her B.Sc. from the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris and her Ph.D. from the University of Nice\, France. She did her postdoctoral training with Dr. Michael Greenberg at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Brunet is interested in the molecular mechanisms of aging and longevity. She wants to understand the mechanism of neural stem cell aging. She also seeks to discover novel genes regulating longevity\, notably developing a new short-lived vertebrate\, the African killifish. Dr. Brunet has published over 80 peer-reviewed papers and reviews. She has received several awards\, including the Pfizer/AFAR Innovation in Aging Research Award and the Vincent Cristofalo “Rising Star” Award in Aging Research. She received a Pioneer Award and a Transformative Award from the NIH Director’s fund\, which supports scientists who propose pioneering and transforming approaches to major challenges in biomedical research. \n Learn more about Anne Brunet’s lab

SUMMARY:Conversations in Convergence: Julien Muffat\, PhD\, and Chao Wang\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Conversations in Convergence series which is an interactive discussions between Medicine by Design researchers who study similar questions using different approaches. \nThe goal is to foster cross-disciplinary discussions in support of convergence\, which is the integration of approaches from engineering\, science\, medicine and other fields to expand knowledge and spark innovation. The researchers will discuss how their unique perspectives\, knowledge and ideas inform their work\, and how their diverse approaches intersect and complement one another to advance regenerative medicine. \nOur speakers will be: \n\nJulien Muffat\, PhD – Scientist\, Neurosciences and Mental Health Program\, The Hospital for Sick Children and Assistant Professor\, Department of Molecular Genetics\, University of Toronto\nChao Wang\, PhD – Scientist\, Biological Sciences Platform\, Sunnybrook Research Institute and Assistant Professor\, Department of Immunology\, University of Toronto\n\n\nEvent theme: Role of immune cells in brain health \n  \nThe Muffat Lab studies how genetic and environmental vulnerabilities intersect to cause neurological disorders. We develop novel 3D cultures derived from human pluripotent stem cells\, to study degenerative and developmental diseases of the brain. We focus on inflammatory triggers\, including viral aetiologies\, in Autism\, Multiple Sclerosis or Alzheimer’s disease. Our work aims to highlight the dominant role of glial cells\, including resident immune cells such as the microglia\, in establishing neuronal dysfunction. The CRISPR toolkit allows functional interrogation of disease-associated variants expressed in specific cell types\, and unbiased genome-wide screens of cellular states and resilience. \n  \n \nChao Wang (PhD) is an immunologist with expertise in immune cell regulation\, cellular metabolism and single cell transcriptomics. As a postdoctoral fellow\, she discovered a role of CD5Like in regulating T lymphocyte function by promoting a polyunsaturated lipidome and regulating the ligand-dependent transcriptional activity of Rorgt (Cell\, 2015); she also uncovered and validated a T cell exhaustion/dysfunction module driven by zine metabolism in melanoma (Cell\, 2016). Based on these findings\, Dr. Wang validated a novel computational tool that allows comprehensive analysis of metabolism using single cell transcriptomics (Cell\, 2021). Leveraging such tools\, cell biology and animal modelling\, the Wang lab focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of how cellular metabolic circuitry supports immune cell function in shaping neuroinflammation in autoimmune\, neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. \nRegister now

SUMMARY:Conversations in Convergence: Omar F. Khan\, PhD\, and Tharini Sivasubramaniyam\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Conversations in Convergence series which is an interactive discussions between Medicine by Design researchers who study similar questions using different approaches. \nThe goal is to foster cross-disciplinary discussions in support of convergence\, which is the integration of approaches from engineering\, science\, medicine and other fields to expand knowledge and spark innovation. The researchers will discuss how their unique perspectives\, knowledge and ideas inform their work\, and how their diverse approaches intersect and complement one another to advance regenerative medicine. \nOur speakers will be: \n\nOmar F. Khan\, PhD – Assistant Professor\, Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Department of Immunology\, University of Toronto and Medicine by Design\, Investigator\nTharini Sivasubramaniyam\, PhD –Post-Doctoral Fellow\, Clinton Robbins Lab\, Toronto General Hospital Research Institute\, University Health Network\n\nRegister now\n \nProfessor Khan earned his B.A.Sc. and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry from the University of Toronto\, and his academic supervisor was Professor Michael V. Sefton. He later joined the laboratories of Professors Daniel G. Anderson and Robert Langer as a Postdoctoral Associate in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Khan is also the Scientific Founder and former Chief Scientist of Tiba Biotech\, a Boston-area company spun out from his postdoctoral research. As an mRNA nanotechnology and vaccine expert\, he is regularly featured in television\, radio and print news. His early career focused on the creation of three dimensional organoid models and engineered tissue substitutes. This work evolved to include the development of nucleic acid-based platform technologies and novel biomaterials to study the genetic mechanisms of diseases and create RNA-based therapies. Now\, Professor Khan endeavors to contribute to Canada’s growing research-to-translation ecosystem by creating new regenerative medicine-enabling technologies\, and training highly qualified personnel capable of addressing diverse local and global bioengineering needs. \n  \nTharini completed her BSc\, MSc and PhD at University of Toronto. Her MSc was under the supervision of Dr. Isabella Caniggia where she assessed the role of Par6\, a key regulator of cell polarity\, during normal human placental development and in preeclampsia. She shifted gears and went on and completed her PhD under Dr. Minna Woo where she investigated how hepatic signaling affects atherosclerosis in vivo. During this time\, she was the recipient of many prestigious awards including Frederick Banting and Charles Best Canada Graduate Scholarships Doctoral Award\, Canadian Liver Foundation Graduate Studentship\, and Canadian Diabetes Association Doctoral Student Research Award. Wanting to broaden her knowledge in immunology she joined the laboratory of Dr. Clinton Robbins as a postdoctoral fellow where she is tackling major unmet biomedical questions in understanding how tissue microenvironments affect the function of immune cells.
