SUMMARY:RegSci Forum “An Inflection Point for High-Quality Diagnostic Tests in Oncology”
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: \nDr. Brian Alexander\, CEO Foundation Medicine \nAbout the talk:  \nThe evolution of precision cancer care—the practice of matching the right patient to the right treatment at the right time—has advanced care significantly in recent years. We have made tremendous progress in fighting cancer using insights from our increased understanding of the genomic mutations underlying the more than 100 different types of cancer. But precision cancer care can only be as good as the quality of the tests used to guide diagnosis and treatment. Today\, we are at an inflection point where we have an opportunity to prioritize the development and availability of high-quality tests so patients and physicians can receive accurate and reliable information allowing them to confidently inform a diagnosis\, disease progression and treatment options. Regulatory reforms that are fundamentally flawed and disincentivize the development of high-quality tests are not in the best interest of patients.

SUMMARY:FSHD University – Epic Bio’s FSHD Program
DESCRIPTION:Epic Bio\, a San Francisco based therapeutics company\, is developing a gene therapy medicine specifically for FSHD patients. The new product\, termed EPI-321\, leverages a CRISPR-based platform to precisely find and fix the specific issue in the genome that causes FSHD. It works by restoring a process called methylation to repair the root cause of the disease without altering the DNA sequence. EPI-321 is an AAV-based gene therapy product delivered one time via intravenous infusion.

SUMMARY:Shifting Your Mentality From Discovery to Development
DESCRIPTION:You’ve successfully taken the risks and done the research to turn your abstract thought into something physically real! \nAs Robert Redford’s character famously said at the end of The Candidate: “What do we do now?” Transitioning from research to development is the goal of every biotech company\, but there are also many common misunderstandings and misconceptions about what this shift entails. The costs (it’s expensive) and timelines (it takes a long time)\, onboarding new team members\, successfully doing both the R and the D at the same time\, and regulatory aspects of the change are among the things that must be understood and executed. \nApproaching this topic through the lens of today’s difficult funding environment and longer time horizons\, panelists will bring a breadth of experiences to detail best practices\, answer common (and uncommon) questions\, cover anticipated business challenges\, and likely tell a few horror stories.

SUMMARY:The Investment Climate’s Impact on Biotechs\, Tech Transfer & Pipeline
DESCRIPTION:Private biotechs are operating in a fundraising environment where access to capital is limited. This has led to a spike in shutdowns\, restructurings\, reductions-in-force\, and “strategic alternatives” across the industry that one VC investor recently cited. Smaller and more emerging companies may be wondering how to respond\, what nontraditional cash\, partnering\, and business opportunities exist\, and how to continue to access funding. For example\, “Should we extend our series A or go for a series B?” The market downturn is likewise impacting tech transfer\, company spin-out\, and the drug discovery pipeline. \nWhere are innovation and company creation pausing due to tight cash flows and cautious investors? Listen to a panel of speakers who can comment on these questions and offer insights from investor\, university\, and biotech perspectives.

SUMMARY:Boston Bacterial Meeting
DESCRIPTION:BBM was founded in 1995 by two postdocs from Richard Losick’s lab at Harvard\, Kit Pogliano and Karen McGovern\, with the goal of bringing bacteriologists from the greater Boston area together to present their work and share ideas. BBM\, now in its 29th year\, has proven to be a vibrant meeting\, attended not only by bacteriologists from the Boston area but from all over the country. Keeping with its roots\, the conference is being planned and organized by a committee of students\, postdocs\, and other early career researchers. This year\, the organizational committee is co-chaired by Alam García-Heredia\, a postdoc in Alan Grossman’s lab at MIT\, and Shailab Shrestha\, a graduate student in Aimee Shen’s lab at Tufts.
