SUMMARY:Find New Leads from Peptides and Natural Ligands
DESCRIPTION:Virtual screening can be a very efficient way to identify initial lead molecules or a back-up series for a drug discovery program. Obvious advantages include access to increased molecular diversity\, an ability to find new IP\, savings in time and ultimately cost. One of the most critical challenges of virtual screening is determining the most effective screening strategy: this implies working through the data and detail of the experimental design to achieve the desired outcome for any given starting point. \nIn this webinar we will show how Flare™\, Forge™ and Blaze™ can be used to analyze and develop an appropriate virtual screening strategy for complex target systems for which no simple small ligands exists\, and how that can be worked into an effective virtual screen.

SUMMARY:Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Colloquia of Extramural Postdoctoral Talks
DESCRIPTION:INCEPT —Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Colloquia of Extramural Postdoctoral Talks\, is a new talk series organized by the INCEPT committee of Neurobio Postdoc Club to provide exceptional senior postdocs with more opportunities to receive feedback and practice their prospective job talks. \nSpeaker: Dr. DelSignore\nTopic: Organization and regulation of synaptic endocytic machinery \nThe synaptic endocytic machinery regulates the traffic of cargoes important for synaptic development\, activity\, and plasticity\, and defects in this machinery are associated with a variety of neurological diseases. Unlike non-neuronal cells\, in which endocytic machinery assembles transiently at discrete 50-100nm sites of endocytosis\, the synaptic endocytic machinery assembles persistently at membranes in a poorly understood micron scale domain called the ‘Periactive Zone (PAZ)’\, within which active endocytic events occur sparsely in space and time. This suggests that there are neuron-specific mechanisms to broadly organize and then locally activate this machinery. Problem: How does micron-scale PAZ machinery direct nano-scale endocytic events? \nWe previously found that the PAZ protein Nervous Wreck couples membrane remodeling to force-generating actin assembly\, but is locked in an autoinhibited state even after it associates with membranes. I hypothesized that local relief of autoregulation could promote discrete membrane remodeling events. Using in vitro assays\, I found that SH3-mediated interactions among Nervous Wreck\, the actin assembly factor WASp\, and the scaffold Dap160/Intersectin cooperate to fully relieve autoinhibition of membrane binding and actin assembly. To test how this mechanism regulates synaptic endocytosis\, I developed novel methods at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction to quantify PAZ activation by quantitative live imaging of actin assembly\, and PAZ organization by super-resolution microscopy. I found that loss of Nervous Wreck\, Dap160\, or their interaction resulted in short-lived\, likely unproductive actin assembly\, and compromised synaptic endocytosis. In currently ongoing work\, I am further investigating the mechanisms that organize PAZ micron-scale architecture. I find that the same SH3 interactions that promote PAZ activation are also required for its micron-scale architecture at synapses\, and drive phase separation in vitro\, suggesting a biochemical mechanism for micron-scale assembly. This raises the exciting question of how phase separation and autoregulation might collaboratively organize PAZ architecture and function.\nSocial for postdocs and students to follow. \nPlease email neurobiopostoc@gmail.com for all zoom links

SUMMARY:Massbio Town Hall: One Year on: How Has the Life Sciences Industry Changed to Address Current and Future Global Health Crises?
DESCRIPTION:The healthcare sector has undergone a rapid transformation in the year since COVID-19 cases began surging in the United States. From the evolution of drug and vaccine development to the increased correlation between public health outcomes and the global supply chain\, the life sciences have had to rapidly innovate and continuously iterate to address COVID-19’s wide ranging impact. With COVID-19 not disappearing in the short-term despite effective vaccines\, what are biotech and med tech companies doing to develop new solutions that will keep people healthy and out of the hospital in the near term while preparing us for the next global health crisis? \nOur March Town Hall\, in partnership with MassMEDIC\, will look at how the biopharma and medical technology industries responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and how they’re using what they learned over the past year to address and plan for current and future threats. \nWebinar link will be emailed to participants the day before – you can also access it from the “Live Stream” tab below. This event is for members-only. \nNOTE: 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.

SUMMARY:The Obesity Epidemic: The Lack Of Access To Care And Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Obesity is defined as a disease. Today obesity is one of the major cost drivers to our health care system\, linked to diabetes\, cardiovascular disease\, and cancer. There is ever-increasing medical evidence to support broader access to both evidence-based prevention programs in the community and active medical treatment of obesity. But proper care and treatment of obesity faces challenges in the form of perception\, stigma\, bias\, and roadblocks to accessing treatment\, therapies\, and care that can help patients. This forum\, sponsored by Novo Nordisk\, will address these issues and more.

SUMMARY:9th Annual Translational Science Symposium - In Memory of Dr. David Seldin
DESCRIPTION:Society is increasingly seeking answers about the role and impact that racism and structural oppression play in every facet of medical research conducted in the US. \nThis year\, the CTSI has chosen to fashion our 2021 CTSI Symposium in memory of Dr. David Seldin as a fresh opportunity for the BUMC/BMC/BU research community to ponder these questions\, challenges\, and the difficult decisions associated with this focus. You will learn from fellow researchers who have thoughtfully and rigorously applied anti-racist principles to engage in clinical and translational medical research. \nThis year’s event is shaping up as one of our most timely\, salient\, and important symposiums. We sincerely hope you can join us!
