SUMMARY:MIT Colloquium on the Brain and Cognition with Dr. Betty Hong\, Caltech
DESCRIPTION:The Hong lab investigates the molecular basis of synaptic specialization and its role in physiology\, behavior\, and disease.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOverview and approach\nSynapses are a fundamental unit of computation in the brain and vary widely in their structural and functional properties. Each synapse is a biochemically complex machine\, comprised of hundreds of different proteins that vary in both identity and quantity across synapses. The functional significance for most of these differences in molecular composition are poorly understood.  Our goal is to understand how molecular diversity at synapses gives rise to useful variation in synaptic physiology\, and how this may reflect the specialization of synapses to perform specific useful computations in their respective circuits.\n\nWe ask these questions in the context of odor-driven behaviors in the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster. We use the fly because we can make targeted\, in vivo whole-cell recordings from individual identified neurons corresponding to specific processing channels. This\, together with its compact size and sophisticated genetic toolkit\, makes the fly olfactory system a powerful experimental system for relating synaptic physiology to circuit function. Our approach is to use carefully designed odor stimuli in combination with genetic strategies to constrain olfactory behavior to depend on the activity at a small number of identified synapses. We use molecular genetics to selectively manipulate these synapses\, measure the functional outcomes using in vivo two-photon imaging and electrophysiological recordings\, and make direct comparisons of synaptic function with neural coding and behavior. We are interested in two broad categories of questions:\n\nSynaptic specialization\nHow do synapses that convey parallel streams of olfactory information vary in their functional properties\, and what is the molecular basis for these differences? How does this relate to the transformations they perform\, the stimuli that they prefer\, and the behavioral responses they engage? We approach this question using a combination of single-cell transcriptional profiling\, electrophysiology\, optogenetics\, and behavior. We are especially interested in comparing synapses in olfactory processing channels that differ dramatically along one or more axes\, such as their kinetics of chemosensory transduction\, the natural statistics of their ligands in the environment\, or the ethological significance of their preferred stimuli. In complementary studies\, we take a comparative approach to this question by comparing synapses in closely related Drosophila species. We ask how homologous olfactory channels (defined by conservation in anatomy and odorant receptor sequence) differ in the stimuli they process and the behaviors they  engage\, and how this relates to variations in gene expression.\n\nSynaptic basis of adaptive behaviors\nWe want to understand the molecular processes that regulate how synaptic properties are altered by context or experience to support adaptive behaviors. In particular\, we focus on understanding how the molecular composition of the synapse is reorganized to mediate cell type-specific and synapse-specific forms of neural plasticity. We take advantage of the highly compartmentalized organization of olfactory circuits\, and our ability to genetically isolate specific processing channels\, to selectively activate identified subsets of synapses and link these to specific flexible behaviors. We apply a combination of transcriptional profiling\, genetic manipulation\, and electrophysiology at these synapses to probe the molecular mechanisms underlying synapse-specific plasticity.

SUMMARY:Nobel Laureate Shinya Yamanaka\, MD\, PhD\, Presents "Recent Progress in iPS Cell Research and Application"
DESCRIPTION:When\nWednesday\, June 9\, 2021\, 7 – 8pm\n\n\nWhere\nRegister\n\n\nSpeaker Name\nDr. Shinya Yamanaka\, MD\, PhD\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\nNobel Laureate Shinya Yamanaka will present “Recent Progress in iPS Cell Research and Application\,” on June 9\, 2021. This forum\, which is free and open to the public\, will launch Harvard’s Annual Bioethics Conference (ABC). The annual conference includes access to this forum and two additional days of programming. Learn more or register for ABC here.\nIn 2006\, Shinya Yamanaka discovered that adult somatic cells can be reprogrammed into an embryonic-like pluripotent state by delivering transcription factors. These reprogrammed cells\, known as induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells\, have the potential to develop into every cell type in the body and are invaluable tools for disease modeling\, drug screening\, and cell therapy. iPS cells also provide an unprecedented opportunity for discovery in life science\, and in Yamanaka’s lab today\, researchers continue to use them to investigate the mechanisms for cell fate determination\, the reprogramming process\, and pluripotency. Yamanaka is the 2012 winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. \n\n\n\nLink\nevents.constantcontact.com…

SUMMARY:Biotechnology and the Future of Medicine
DESCRIPTION:The 2021 Annual Bioethics Conference will take place online June 9-11 and will explore the potential of biotechnology to drive and shape the future of clinical care and research. \nThe practice of medicine over the course of the last fifty years has changed dramatically. Novel technological developments will continue to generate new discoveries\, therapies\, and patient outcomes. Recent advances in intertwined areas\, such as stem cell-based bioengineering\, organoid technology\, low-cost personal genome sequencing\, machine learning\, and human genome editing have the potential to create more effective\, personalized medical treatments. But as we progress toward this biotechnologically-driven medical future\, we must consider how ethical values can shape these advancements and vice versa. This online conference will examine how ethics interacts with biotechnology in medicine\, and consider multiple approaches to how we might ensure that biotechnology continues to evolve ethically and for the benefit of all. \nRegister here to attend the 2021 Annual Bioethics Conference\nSign-up to receive email updates about the conference schedule\, speakers\, and poster session.
