SUMMARY:Boston Bacterial Meeting
DESCRIPTION:BBM was founded in 1995 by two postdocs from Richard Losick’s lab at Harvard\, Kit Pogliano and Karen McGovern\, with the goal of bringing bacteriologists from the greater Boston area together to present their work and share ideas. BBM\, now in its 29th year\, has proven to be a vibrant meeting\, attended not only by bacteriologists from the Boston area but from all over the country. Keeping with its roots\, the conference is being planned and organized by a committee of students\, postdocs\, and other early career researchers. This year\, the organizational committee is co-chaired by Alam García-Heredia\, a postdoc in Alan Grossman’s lab at MIT\, and Shailab Shrestha\, a graduate student in Aimee Shen’s lab at Tufts.

SUMMARY:FOCIS 2023
DESCRIPTION:FOCIS is THE meeting in translational immunology that will give you a competitive edge in your career. Stay ahead of the curve with leading clinicians and researchers delivering the latest breakthroughs across immune-mediated diseases. Focusing on molecular pathways and their implications in human disease provides the unique opportunity for innovative thinking and applying ideas from the pathologies of other diseases to uncover novel solutions to challenges in the diseases you study. \nThrough the FOCIS Annual Meeting\, researchers and clinicians share knowledge across traditional disease borders\, and identify commonalities between treatments and therapies that are life changing for those affected with immune-mediated diseases. From the introduction of monoclonal antibodies in clinical practice — to recent advances in cancer immunotherapy – the past two decades have been transformational for patients living with immune-mediated diseases. \nFOCIS 2023 will take place\, in person\, June 20-23\, 2023\, at the Boston Marriott Copley Place. \nYour Health and Safety\nYour health and safety remain a top priority to FOCIS. The Annual Meeting will be held fully in person\, and we are committed to keeping you safe.

SUMMARY:The Investment Climate’s Impact on Biotechs\, Tech Transfer & Pipeline
DESCRIPTION:Private biotechs are operating in a fundraising environment where access to capital is limited. This has led to a spike in shutdowns\, restructurings\, reductions-in-force\, and “strategic alternatives” across the industry that one VC investor recently cited. Smaller and more emerging companies may be wondering how to respond\, what nontraditional cash\, partnering\, and business opportunities exist\, and how to continue to access funding. For example\, “Should we extend our series A or go for a series B?” The market downturn is likewise impacting tech transfer\, company spin-out\, and the drug discovery pipeline. \nWhere are innovation and company creation pausing due to tight cash flows and cautious investors? Listen to a panel of speakers who can comment on these questions and offer insights from investor\, university\, and biotech perspectives.
