SUMMARY:In-Place Filter Testing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This hands-on program prepares participants to test and certify systems containing HEPA filtration and gas adsorption systems for nuclear and non-nuclear applications. \nParticipants learn the latest regulatory requirements for nuclear air cleaning\, develop an understanding of filtration theory\, and gain the experience they need to maintain air purity with a comprehensive filter system. \nThis program offers knowledge and essential hands-on training that will provide you with the experience and knowledge you need to meet the daily challenges of working with nuclear technology. \nIn addition to ventilation\, the program also includes wide-ranging nuclear and non-nuclear topics relevant to biotechnology\, clean rooms\, health care\, the military and commercial utilities. \nHands-on Laboratory Sessions \nParticipants benefit from interactive laboratory sessions in which they apply the theories learned in class\, gain experience operating a variety of testing equipment\, and participate in small group discussions focusing on the practical challenges and remedies in working with nuclear-filtration systems. \nProgram Curriculum \nThis dynamic curriculum is designed to allow participants to practice the knowledge and skills they need to implement\, enhance\, or certify nuclear air-filtration systems. In addition to presenting theory and frameworks\, the program requires that participants apply theories in hands-on interactive laboratory exercises and discuss issues during laboratory breakout groups with peers facing similar challenges.

SUMMARY:New England CEPAC Meeting: Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
DESCRIPTION:The New England Comparative Effectiveness Public Advisory Council (CEPAC)\, a core program of the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER)\, will hold a public meeting on July 25\, 2019 to consider the comparative clinical effectiveness and value of deflazacort (Emflaza®\, PTC Therapeutics)\, eteplirsen (Exondys 51®\, Sarepta) and golodirsen (Sarepta)for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). \nDMD is a fatal\, X-linked neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene that result in progressive loss of muscle function\, including skeletal and cardiac function. It is the most common pediatric muscular dystrophy\, affecting about 400 to 600 boys per year in the US. \nThis is ICER’s first review of treatments for DMD. A presentation of the evidence will be followed by a public comment period and deliberations and votes by the New England CEPAC. The votes will be followed by a policy roundtable discussion. \nA list of key dates for stakeholder engagement opportunities and other important information associated with the review of deflazacort\, eteplirsen\, and golodirsen for DMD can be found on ICER’s website at https://icer-review.org/topic/duchenne-muscular-dystrophy/.

SUMMARY:Business Development In An Era Of Transformative Therapies
DESCRIPTION:The future of therapeutics capable of treating\, curing\, and even entirely preventing many previously life-threatening illnesses has arrived! Whether it is developing drugs for molecular targets rather than specific diseases\, replacing/correcting specific genes\, or introducing cells engineered with bespoke features or payloads\, a new dawn is upon us. For business development leaders this presents unusual and unprecedented challenges. How do unproven development pathways\, uncertain and fluctuating markets sizes\, and the potential for value-based pricing and payments affect how deals are negotiated and structured? Join us for a discussion among biopharma business development and finance leaders in this emerging space as they share their thoughts on creating value through business and corporate development activities in the context of the radical new technologies that are changing the practice of medicine.

SUMMARY:Chem IDP Workshops for Students & Advisors
DESCRIPTION:The event will be held at Northeastern University\, in Shillman Hall\, room 105 Shillman Hall \nThis event has two sessions\, one in the morning for faculty\, administrators and graduate program staff titled “Workshop for Advisors\, Mentors\, and Training Program Staff\,” and a session in the afternoon for students and postdocs titled “Career Pathways: Planning for your career.” \nThe faculty & staff program begins at 10 AM until 11:30 AM and the student & postdoc session begins at 1 PM and runs to 5 PM\, concluding with a networking session. \nLunch will be served for participants of both sessions between 11:30 AM and 1 PM. \nRegistration is open through Monday\, July 15th.\n\nWorkshop for Advisors\, Mentors\, and Training Program Staff\nIndividual Development Plan Assisted Mentoring \nThis 1.5-hour interactive workshop will introduce the IDP process as a mentoring tool and share related resources available to advisors. The IDP process consists of four components: 1) self-assessment\, 2) career exploration\, 3) skill strengthening\, and 4) goal setting. ChemIDPTM\, the IDP tool and workshop developed by the ACS for trainees in the chemical sciences\, will serve as an example of how use of IDPs has the potential to prepare faculty/mentors and trainees for efficient mentor-mentee discussions. \nAdequate preparation of the future workforce is essential for the survival of the U.S. as an economic and innovative powerhouse in the world. Numerous reports from organizations such as the National Academy of Sciences\, the American Chemical Society (ACS)\, and the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) have highlighted the importance of mentoring for the successful navigation through college\, graduate school\, or postdoctoral training and towards securing satisfying jobs. Federal funding agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation strongly recommend the use of Individual Development Plans (IDPs) and postdoctoral mentoring plans for trainees\, respectively. The workshop will be applicable to those working across STEM fields\, although specific examples will be drawn from the chemical sciences. \nThe workshop will be followed by lunch. \nCareer Pathways: Planning for your career\nWorkshop participants will engage in self-assessment activities to identify values\, strengths\, and potential career options\, understand the components of an individual development plan (ChemIDP.org)\, assess and develop concrete steps to take towards their career goal and learn strategies to hone their networking skills to enhance their job search. The day will conclude with a networking reception with light refreshments. \nThe workshop will be applicable to those working across STEM fields\, although specific examples will be drawn from the chemical sciences. \nParticipants are welcome to arrive any time after 11:30 for lunch; the workshop begins at 1 PM. The session ends at 5 PM\, concluding with a networking reception. \nRegistration fee includes all materials\, lunch\, and reception. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Northeastern Section’s Younger Chemists Committee (NSYCC)\, Northeastern University\, and Research Corporation for Science Advancement. \nPlease contact Prof. Penny Beuning\, P.Beuning@northeastern.edu\, with any inquiries about this event.360mass

SUMMARY:MIT Profession Education: Downstream Processing
DESCRIPTION:Continuing discoveries in molecular biology\, genetics\, and process science provide the foundation for new and improved processes and products in today’s biochemical process industry.

SUMMARY:MIT Profession Education: Downstream Processing
DESCRIPTION:Continuing discoveries in molecular biology\, genetics\, and process science provide the foundation for new and improved processes and products in today’s biochemical process industry. The production of therapeutic proteins and other biologics\, made possible by discoveries in biotechnology\, generated sales exceeding $300 billion in 2016. \nBiotechnology is a cornerstone for improvement and expansion of the biochemical process industry for production of enzymes\, diagnostics\, chemicals\, pharmaceuticals\, and foods. Continued introduction of new technology necessitates innovation in process development scale-up and design as manufacturing lies on the critical path between science and the consumer. \nAn integral and cost-intensive part of these processes is associated with downstream processing for product isolation and purification. This course aims to help participants design new\, as well as to improve existing\, biological manufacturing for downstream processes. \nThis 5-day course meets Jul 22-29\, 2019 and meets 9:00am-5:30pm everyday\, except for Friday when it ends at 12:00pm.
