SUMMARY:The Unexpected Drivers of Waste in Clinical Trial Manufacturing
DESCRIPTION:The period from preclinical through commercialization comes with a lot of unpredictability and challenges for all organizations. Although buffers are needed to meet the developmental needs and patient supply requirements\, a lot of waste in clinical manufacturing can be pro-actively avoided by using a more global approach\, better controlling your risk at every level\, and making data-driven decisions. \nIn this webinar\, we will focus on which decisions can cause overlooked drug waste and how biotechs and pharma organizations can make the most effective use of their manufacturing capabilities and budgets. \nJoin us to learn how:\n\n\nLocalized decisions can have very detrimental impacts on the global efficiency of your supply chain; \n\n\nGlobalizing and controlling buffers in an end-to-end way can help minimize waste; \n\n\nDecisions and processes that are often seen as fixed and unchangeable can be challenged and consequently yield considerable benefits; \n\n\nN-SIDE has been able to drastically increase usage rates\, therefore accelerating time to market and reducing clinical budgets through optimization\, facts and collaboration.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Imaging for Researchers: Mechanisms & Methods
DESCRIPTION:This online course is designed to give the researcher who might be new to imaging a better understanding of the current and future capabilities of common modalities for characterizing the brain\, as well as information on relevant practical considerations. The technologies discussed in this course are: \n\nElectroencephalogram (EEG)\nMagnetoencephalogram (MEG)\nFunctional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)\nQuantitative near-infrared spectroscopy (qNIRS)\nMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI)\n\nNeuroanatomical MRI\nDiffusion MRI of the brain\nFunctional MRI (resting state and task-based)\nMagnetic resonance spectroscopy of the brain\nCerebrovascular monitoring\n\n\n\nImaging provides an important window into in vivo brain structure and function and is therefore an ideal tool for human brain research. When considering which imaging technique best answers a research question\, it is important to think about fundamental mechanisms of interest and select the modality or combination of modalities that best captures them. \nFor each technology\, experts will discuss and demonstrate the structure\, operation\, and workflow of the machine; data collection and analysis processes; multi-machine approaches; research considerations and decision criteria; and research applications. The course will focus on the use of each of these technologies for brain research rather than for clinical application.

SUMMARY:Communicating the Future: Engaging the Public in Basic Science
DESCRIPTION:On July 27-28\, 2021\, SciPEP will convene a virtual conference exploring the unique characteristics of the relationship between the public and basic research\, drawing from the experience and expertise of our colleagues in the science and science communication communities. Communicating the Future: Engaging the Public in Basic Science will explore why the public and basic science should be connected and what current communication and engagement efforts are taking place\, including the challenges and opportunities in this work. Ultimately\, we intend to identify how scientists and professionals can work to engage the public with basic research as effectively as possible. \nThe conference program will be organized around the exploration of the why\, what and how of the relationship between the public and basic science. The following aspects will be explored throughout: \nScholarship (e.g. communications research) – whether and how it can be applied to public engagement practice\, and identification of new research questions; \nTraining – public engagement skills development for scientist-communicators and the communication professionals who work with them; \nEngagement practice – activities or programs that provide opportunities for mutual learning or exchange of ideas between scientists and members of the public; \nJustice\, equity\, diversity\, and inclusion in public engagement; and \nEvaluating the effectiveness of public engagement activities and programs. \nWhat we discuss and learn at this conference will also inform future directions of SciPEP and the resources and training we propose to develop for basic scientists. \nPlenary \nHow do we move forward from here? \nAn astrophysicist\, a political scientist\, and science journalist turned college dean walk into a public engagement conference\, and… what comes next? These thought leaders will reflect on the conference and look to the future\, including identifying research gaps and resource needs for the future of communicating basic science. \nSpeakers \nMariette DiChristina\, Boston University \nBrian Nord\, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory \nRoger Pielke Jr.\, University of Colorado \nRegistration: https://www.accelevents.com/e/SciPEP2021

SUMMARY:Microglia and Myelin: Improved Tools for Their Study and Molecular Interactions Between Them
DESCRIPTION:Join via Zoom: https://mit.zoom.us/j/99379257055?pwd=QW40ajU5V0NFL1gxUkI4OFhlSzJzUT09  \nPassword: microglia \n  \nAbstract: Myelination of axons evolved in vertebrates to promote signal transduction and the development of a compact and energy-efficient nervous system. Myelin development and homeostasis are critical for normal function and impairment of myelin is associated with sensory\, motor\, and cognitive dysfunction. While it has long been understood that oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the CNS\, more recent studies also implicate additional cell types including microglia as providers of important molecular cues in myelination. However\, the function of many molecular mediators remains incompletely defined\, at least in part due to the scarcity of suitable tools. In this thesis\, we develop and provide the research community with much needed new tools to study microglia and myelin and dissect the contribution of IgG to myelin development. In Chapter 1\, we report the generation and characterization of now widely adopted EGFP and CreERT2 transgenic mouse lines for the labeling and the inducible genetic manipulation of microglia. Extending this work\, in Chapter 2\, we present evidence for the engineering of a highly efficient and specific constitutively active Cre line leveraging the Fcrls locus. In Chapter 3\, we report the development of MyelTracer\, an easy-to-install software suite made available to the research community for the quantification of myelin g-ratio\, a key metric in studies of myelin morphology. Finally\, in Chapter 4\, we present evidence for the occurrence of maternally derived IgG on microglia in the postnatal brain and show that brains of mice lacking IgG postnatally display oligodendroglial and axonal abnormalities. Further\, we show that this effect of IgG is not mediated through the canonical IgG-Fc receptor pathway. Independent of Fc receptors\, IgG appears to be required for the function of a subset of microglia that occurs in white-matter tracts postnatally and is required for normal white-matter development. Overall\, the work presented in this thesis resulted in the generation of several much-needed tools for the research community\, and it reveals molecular insights into the role of IgG in the developing brain.
