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:Understanding How the Inflation Reduction Act Impacts the Ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:The recently passed Inflation Reduction Act contains some of the most significant changes to prescription drug pricing\, reimbursement\, and access we have seen in decades. By far\, the biggest policy change is allowing Medicare to negotiate the price of drugs for the first time in the program’s history. A separate policy in the bill allows the federal government to penalize companies who raise the price of drugs faster than inflation. Initial estimates are that the various drug pricing provisions in the IRA will result in upwards of $300 billion less revenue to biopharmaceutical companies and dozens of new drugs not reaching patients in the next ten years. \nWhile the impact of this legislation on commercial-scale biopharma companies is fairly clear\, what is less understood is the downstream effects on emerging biotech companies who are seeking investments\, partnerships\, and acquisitions in the hope of one day having their science come to market. \nAt this forum\, you will learn more about the Inflation Reduction Act’s major prescription drug related provisions and explore how it will impact biotech innovation in the near and long term from our panel of experts.

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: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: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.
