SUMMARY:The Forsyth Institute 5th Scientific Symposium: Craniofacial Biology\, Disease\, and Regeneration
DESCRIPTION:Craniofacial anomalies are the most common type of birth defect\, representing one-third of all congenital deformities. In the United States\, approximately 600\,000 individuals are diagnosed with a craniofacial condition every year. The global health care costs attributed to these conditions exceed $500 billion annually. \nThe Forsyth Institute 5th Annual Scientific Symposium: Craniofacial Biology\, Disease\, and Regeneration\, aims to promote better understanding of craniofacial development and disease\, leading to knowledge translation for disease prevention and treatment. The Symposium will bring together researchers and clinicians working on different aspects of craniofacial biology\, including but not limited to cranial neural crest development\, cell-type specification and lineage commitment\, cleft lip/palate\, craniosynostosis\, midfacial disorder\, bone and cartilage regeneration\, single-cell profiling\, and genomics. The Symposium will include poster presentations by attendees and talks by renowned leaders in the field. \nThe Symposium features four sessions: \nSession 1: Stem Cell and Fate Specification\nSession 2: Development and Disease\nSession 3: Regenerative Medicine and Tissue Engineering\nSession 4: Emerging Research

SUMMARY:Third Annual Gilbert S. Omenn Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Microbial Genomics: From Public Health to Personalized Care \nThe last decade has witnessed an exponential increase in access to whole genome sequencing technologies that have now migrated from a research-only tool to a public health work-horse and increasingly used for guiding delivery of medical care. I will discuss applications and frontiers in pathogen genome sequencing and other ‘omics’ as tools to improve surveillance and treatment of tuberculosis across the facets of care from disease detection to antibiotic resistance diagnosis to treatment monitoring. I will specifically discuss how the use of pathogen sequencing can integrate within and circumvent resource challenges in LMICs.

SUMMARY:Glial and Neuronal Biology of the Aging Brain Symposium
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS EVENT \nJoin us for a joint Alana Down Syndrome Center and Aging Brain Initiative symposium on October 5-6\, 2022. The topic this year will be Glial and Neuronal Biology of the Aging Brain. \nThis event will take place virtually over the course of two days: October 5 and October 6. Talks will begin at 1:00pm ET on October 5 and 9:00am ET on October 6 . The October 6 talks will be followed by a virtual poster session beginning at 12:15pm ET. \n________ \nThe Aging Brain Initiative and The Alana Down Syndrome Center\nThe Aging Brain Initiative (ABI) is an interdisciplinary effort by MIT focusing on understanding neurodegeneration and discovery efforts to find hallmarks of aging\, both in health and disease. \nThe Alana Down Syndrome Center (ADSC) aims to deepen knowledge about Down syndrome and to improve health\, autonomy and inclusion of people with this genetic condition. \nThe ABI and the ADSC have joined forces for this year’s symposium to highlight how aging-related changes to the brain overlap with neurological aspects of Down syndrome.

SUMMARY:The Economics of Job Acquisition or “What’s Going On with This Job Market?!”
DESCRIPTION:Is the United States in a recession? Some signals indicate yes\, yet the latest employment report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is strong evidence against being on the cusp of a looming recession—at least not in the way they’ve historically been experienced. According to BioSpace’s 2022 U.S. Life Sciences State of the Recruitment Market report\, 72% of employers are currently experiencing a decrease in the volume of candidates applying to their jobs. The number of employers who believe the job market favors the candidate is up 31% from 2021 and 70% of employers say it’s taking longer than last year to fill open roles; in fact\, it is taking the majority 2 to 3 months – or longer – to fill open positions. \nSo what’s a growing life sciences organization to do? In this panel our experts will unpack the current trends and share their insight on what the hiring may look like for the last quarter of 2022 and into the new year.

SUMMARY:15th Annual Inflammatory Bowel Disease: The Art and Science in the Diagnosis and Treatment 2022
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, the Boston IBD conference  brings top gastroenterology specialists from North America together with up-and-coming Boston area specialists for a 1.5 day CME/CNE program. This program is designed to stimulate conversations about how to initiate practice changes within the IBD healthcare team in in the diagnosis and management of patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC).  Through keynote talks\, panel discussions and breakout sessions\, you will be challenged to develop innovative strategies to improve the quality of life for your patients while prolonging clinical remission. The city of Boston provides an excellent backdrop for this educational and networking experience – we hope you can join us in person – or – if you prefer – from the comfort of your home or office through a virtual live stream.
