SUMMARY:2023 Rare Disease Day
DESCRIPTION:Join MassBio as we mark the annual Rare Disease Day at the Statehouse by bringing attention to the groundbreaking\, patient-focused research happening in Massachusetts to treat and cure rare diseases and renewing our commitment to advance this critical science equitably. \nPeople living with a rare disease are more likely to experience treatment inequality\, misdiagnosis\, and isolation. Whether you are a policymaker\, a health advocate\, a patient organization\, a person living with a rare disease or a family member\, we invite you to attend MassBio’s 2023 Rare Disease Day to hear from speakers\, learn from panelists\, and be seen by lawmakers. After the conference and advocacy is over\, join us for a reception. \nAlone we are rare\, together we are strong.® (This slogan is a registered trademark of the National Organization for Rare Disorders.) \nTo inquire about sponsorship opportunities\, contact Laura Rudberg.MassBio makes every effort to accommodate our entire community at each of our events. Please let us know at least 3 days in advance of the event if you require special accommodations\, such as captioning. \nAttendees are required to be fully vaccinated.

SUMMARY:Cells & Bells: Successful Strategies for Smart Cell Line Development
DESCRIPTION:Developing a reliable process for commercial biopharmaceutical production is logistically and technically demanding\, with many opportunities for projects to break down. A robust\, high-yielding cell line is the foundation of any reliable production process. Understanding possible obstacles that can arise during the creation and optimization of a robust cell line is critical for making informed project decisions. \nJoin us on December 15th in Cambridge for a day of educational sessions aimed at addressing potential challenges in early process development and how partnering with a Cell Line Development (CLD) solution provider offers expertise and a comprehensive portfolio of products and services.

SUMMARY:Research on Tap: Developing Technologies for a Sustainable Future
DESCRIPTION:Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword\, but an environmental\, economic and social driver that is changing our daily lives in almost every imaginable way. Sectors such as manufacturing\, transportation\, agriculture and construction — industries which define where we work and play\, what we eat and how goods and services are transported need to evolve to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change. Although it is not a panacea\, technology has the power to drive changes that can help minimize industrial impact on the environment. \nThis Research On Tap event will present a range of exciting and innovative research from faculty across BU who are developing the very technologies that can lead us to a sustainable future. This event is co-sponsored by BU’s Institute for Global Sustainability\, College of Engineering and College of Arts & Sciences. \nLOCATION: Kilachand Center Colloquium Room 610 Commonwealth Avenue \nREGISTRATION: https://www.bu.edu/research/featured-events/research-on-tap-meet-greet-and-learn/a-sustainable-future/

SUMMARY:Why Sex Matters in Health and Disease
DESCRIPTION:David Page’s lab studies the genetic differences between males and females and the biological and medical ramifications of these differences. At the core are the sex chromosomes: females have two X chromosomes\, while males have an X and a Y. The Page Lab has overturned the long-held view that the influence of sex chromosome constitution (XX vs. XY) is restricted to the reproductive tract. Intrinsic differences between XX and XY cells exist across the body\, likely contributing to the pervasive differences that exist between males and females in the incidence\, severity\, and progression of diseases that collectively affect all organ systems. A grand opportunity awaits: To understand male-female differences in healthy cells\, tissues\, and organs\, at a molecular level and across the body. Register here.

SUMMARY:SCSB Colloquium Series: Maternal Gut Bacteria Dictate Offspring’s Neurodevelopmental and Immune-Primed Phenotypes
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, November 30\, 2022\nHybrid Location: 46-3002 (Singleton Auditorium) and YouTube stream (https://youtu.be/zB3Am6qoVts) \nSpeaker: Jun Huh\, Ph.D.\nAffiliation: Associate Professor of Immunology\, Harvard Medical School \nHost: Dr. Mriganka Sur \nTalk title: Maternal gut bacteria dictate offspring’s neurodevelopmental and immune-primed phenotypes. \nAbstract: Along with genetic factors\, environmental factors are critical contributors to inflammatory disorders such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism. Gut microbes are one of these non-genetic factors that define a threshold to either maintaining a homeostatic balance or developing diseases. I will discuss our ongoing efforts to dissect maternal gut microbes’ effects on influencing offspring’s immune and neurodevelopmental phenotypes.

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Special Guest\, Dr. France Córdova\, President of Science Philanthropy Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Dr. France Córdova\, PhD\, President of the Science Philanthropy Alliance and a past Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF)\, is an internationally known astrophysicist. She was the youngest person and first woman to serve as NASA’s Chief Scientist; and was recognized as a 2000 Kilby Laureate for her contributions to society through science\, innovation\, and education. To broaden participation from traditionally underrepresented groups and to advance equity in STEM fields\, she launched NSF INCLUDES\, an initiative that has since been adopted by seven other government agencies including NASA and the NIH. In this fireside chat\, we will explore issues of equity\, diversity and leadership as they affect our personal and professional lives.
