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:Hack the Hospital
DESCRIPTION:Hack The Hospital: is an innovation lab that will explore the potential of 5G and XR technologies being applied to pediatric healthcare and to foster new connections between Barcelona and Boston hubs. International teams will develop innovative projects that can improve the hospital experience of long term pediatric patients at the Boston Children’s Hospital and the Sant Joan de Déu children’s hospital (Barcelona). We are not so interested in your capacity to code an app in 72 hours\, but your ability to empathize with patients and come up with ideas that are creative and feasible. \nChallenges: Education\, mental health\, socialization\, family experience and entertainment within the hospital environment \nAward: 2 winner projects will be tested and implemented in both hospitals and will be presenting at the Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2021 \nDates: May 21\, 22\, 23 – online event \nApply: https://www.5gtransatlanticlab.com/apply\nNote: We encourage people to apply in teams of 3 although individual applications are also welcome! This is a free-of-charge event and there are limited available spots.

SUMMARY:When Miniaturization Meets Medicine: A Conversation with Sangeeta Bhatia
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to join Ruth Lehmann\, President and Director of the Whitehead Institute\, for a series of virtual dialogues with scientific luminaries from academia\, and visionary leaders from the biotech industry.\nWhat trends in science and technology excite them the most? Which innovations have the potential to dramatically impact the way we live and work? \nBe a part of the conversation. \nSangeeta Bhatia is a biomedical researcher\, MIT professor\, and biotech entrepreneur who works to adapt technologies developed in the computer industry for medical innovation. Trained as both a physician and engineer at Harvard\, MIT\, and Brown University\, Bhatia leverages ‘tiny technologies’ of miniaturization to yield inventions such as human microlivers that model human drug metabolism and liver disease\, as well as responsive nanoparticles and nanoporous materials that can be engineered to diagnose\, study\, and treat a variety of diseases\, including cancer. She and her trainees have launched multiple biotechnology companies to improve human health. As a prolific inventor and passionate advocate for diversity in science and engineering\, Bhatia has received many honors including the Lemelson-MIT Prize\, known as the ‘Oscar for inventors\,’ and the Heinz Medal for groundbreaking inventions and advocacy for women in STEM fields. She is a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator\, the Director of the Marble Center for Cancer Nanomedicine at the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT\, and an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences\, the National Academy of Engineering\, the American Academy of Arts and Science\, the National Academy of Inventors\, the National Academy of Medicine\, and Brown University’s Board of Trustees.
