SUMMARY:FRAXA Biotech Games
DESCRIPTION:FRAXA Biotech Games™ raise money for research while giving members of the Boston biotech community the opportunity to meet each other and network in a friendly setting to share camaraderie\, experiences and expertise which then strengthens the Boston scientific ecosystem. \nProceeds of the event support FRAXA Research Foundation\, which funds Fragile X research in Boston area labs\, including the Mark Bear Lab at MIT’s Picower Institute and the Jeannie Lee Lab at Harvard/Mass General. FRAXA’s mission is to find effective treatments and ultimately a cure for Fragile X\, the most common inherited cause of autism and learning disabilities worldwide. \nRegistration begins at 2:30 pm. The Games start at 3:30 pm and will conclude at 5:30 pm\, immediately followed by a networking reception BBQ with food and Cash bar on The Common  from 5:30 -7:30 pm. Awards will be presented\, including awarding the Cup to the top company\, whose team achieves the highest overall score in the competition. There will be several consolation prizes as well. \nDon’t miss out! Register your team today – team slots will be filled on a first come first served basis! A team consists of 2-4 players. For more information please contact Dave Bjork at dbjorl@fraxa.org or sbeaulieu@connerstrong.com

SUMMARY:NCATS Assay Guidance Workshop for High-Throughput Screening and Lead Discovery
DESCRIPTION:This free two day workshop will cover a broad range of critical concepts underlying assay development and implementation for high throughput screening (HTS) and lead discovery projects. Many of the methodologies successfully implemented in such projects have established a good deal of “tribal knowledge” within the pharmaceutical industry which is not readily found in a classroom or the literature. This tribal knowledge\, developed over decades\, has been transferred into detailed chapters within the Assay Guidance Manual to facilitate reproducible and robust assays that can identify the most promising compounds for the development of molecular probes or clinical candidates. The workshop will provide participants with a broad\, practical perspective on assay development so that they can (1) improve research projects involving drug discovery\, and know where to find further information (2) identify reagents\, methods and instrumentation that are well suited to robust assays and (3) develop robust assays and the required counter and secondary assays for targets of interest.

SUMMARY:CyTOF Analysis Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:Invited speakers from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Bluebird Bio will talk about panel validation and addressing batch effect.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nSpeaker: Emily Thrash\, PhD\, Scientist II\, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute\nBio: Experienced Cancer Immunologist with a proven history of developing clinical trial correlative studies. Highly skilled in Flow Cytometry and CyTOF\, especially with primary patient samples. Patient-oriented\, results-driven research professional with a Doctorate in Biomedical Sciences\, Immunology from The Ohio State University College of Medicine. \nAbstract: CyTOF is revolutionizing correlative clinical trial studies allowing for deeper immune-phenotyping compared to traditional flow cytometry. Leveraging CyTOF technology\, our group has previously identified biomarkers of response to anti-PD-1 therapy in melanoma patients. Building upon those studies\, we have developed two CyTOF panels 1) Adaptive (CPB-A) and 2) Innate (CPB-I) that identify immune cell subsets and test biomarkers for response and resistance in patients receiving anti-PD-1 therapy. Here we present the validation of these panels\, as well as our method pipeline for CyTOF panel development. \nSpeaker: Brandon Nguyen\, Sr. Associate Scientist I\, Bluebird Bio\nAbstract: Mass Cytometry presents a unique opportunity to look at 40 antigens at once on a single cell basis\, this is particularly useful when trying to phenotypically characterize a cellular drug product. Currently at bluebird bio there are three clinical phase cellular drug products that leverage autologous CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells edited with lentiviral vector. Because hematopoiesis is a very fluid landscape\, we have developed a classification method to divide the CD34+ drug product into lineage specific progenitors and precursors with the help of high dimensional clustering. This characterization data set can then be used for correlative studies within each clinical trial and across multiple clinical trials. However\, in order to ensure data integrity for meaningful comparative studies a reference must be used to track staining consistency of each antibody. This was found to be necessary as batch effects played an important role into the potential skewing of high dimensional analysis. Overall\, longitudinal studies are a challenge due to batch specific staining variation\, however the variation can be minimized by tracking a reference cell bank and strategic optimization.

SUMMARY:Ergonomics and Human Factors: Strategic Solutions for Workplace Safety and Health
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\nWork-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a leading cause of employee injury and illness across industries and occupations. Fortunately\, work-related MSDs and their associated costs can be prevented through the effective application of ergonomic principles. \nThis applied program brings together professionals from across industries and sectors to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders and improve workplace health and safety through ergonomics. Ergonomics and Human Factors explores both the technical skills required to perform job assessments and the organizational factors which contribute to successful ergonomics programs. \nParticipants will complete this program ready to control health and performance problems through ergonomic interventions\, optimize their organization’s ergonomics program\, and improve employee health and safety. \nImprove Employee Health and Safety \nWith a focus on improving worker health and safety\, this program offers practical advice for implementing and optimizing workplace ergonomics programs. In addition\, the technical skills required for occupational ergonomic interventions are explored through lectures\, group work\, and in-depth discussions. This course is unique in considering both the public health and industry perspectives. \nNew Office Ergonomics Sessions \nPoorly designed work stations\, bad work habits\, and prolonged sitting can all have serious adverse health effects. With much of the American workforce performing sedentary work at a desk all day\, office ergonomics has taken on new levels of importance. This course now includes an expanded focus on office ergonomics to address these challenges. New sessions include: \n\nSit Stand Desks and the Necessary Training\nConsiderations for Standing Work\nPhysiology of Sitting\, Standing\, and Walking-Integration of Treadmills to Improve Workstations\nReview of the Evidence for Workstations\nSystem’s Approaches to Combating the Sedentary Workplace\n\nCourse Website
