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.

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!

SUMMARY:MIT Microbiome Club Seminar: Dr. Daniela Vargas
DESCRIPTION:Talk Title: Passenger-surface microbiome interactions in the subway of Mexico City. \nAbstract: Interaction between hands and the environment permits the interchange of microorganisms. The Mexico City subway is used daily by millions of passengers that get in contact with its surfaces. In this study\, we used 16S rRNA gene sequencing to characterize the microbiomes of frequently touched surfaces\, also comparing regular and women-only wagons. We also explored the effect of surface cleaning on microbial resettling. Finally\, we studied passenger behavior and characterized microbial changes after traveling. \nBio: Dr. Daniela Vargas received her bachelor’s degree from Universidad de Los Andes(Venezuela). Later\, Dr. Vargas specialized in microbial ecology during her PhD at University of Puerto Rico\, where she graduated in 2018. Since then\, she has worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (Mexico). Dr. Vargas’ research on urban microbiomes has been published in PLOS ONE and Nature. She also has interest in the study of human microbiomes and their relationship with pathogens such as Human Papillomavirus.

SUMMARY:Virtual Symposium: Closing the Gap Between Research and Clinical Application - Neuroimaging Indicators of Brain Structure and Function
DESCRIPTION:If you have an interest in brain imaging and want to maximize the impact of your work on human health\, this symposium is for you. Spanning the full range of technological advances – from image acquisition and processing to clinical translation\, to working with increasingly large datasets – this symposium will focus on ways in which neuroimaging can transform healthcare. \nYou will have the opportunity to hear from our expert faculty who develop and utilize mechanisms so that currently available brain images from both clinical repositories and research archives may be mined for exciting\, new insights into brain structure and function – powering forward efforts to discover non-invasive\, reliable indicators of brain health that help us understand disease vulnerability and resilience. Speakers will share methodologies and innovations from their labs\, highlight opportunities for advancing the field\, and critically examine the challenges that they face. \nUnique to this virtual symposium\, we offer forums for participants to engage directly with our expert faculty in topic-specific breakout rooms. Trainees (student\, postdoctoral\, or clinical fellow) have the additional option of signing up for a mentoring circle with one of our faculty. \nHuman brain imaging holds immense promise for elucidating the biological basis of brain health and disease.\nWe hope you will be able to join us on February 12th and be a part of these critical conversations!
