BCREGMED Media Engagement Workshop
Virtual/OnlineNews media set agendas, shape policies and impact spending. Issues that are effectively profiled by the news media are seen as more important than those not receiving such attention. However, often the people most expert in a particular field have difficulty translating their deep knowledge into commentary that is accessible and engaging to a lay audience made up of those who don’t have a science background or specialized vocabulary. BCREGMED is providing a two day media engagement workshop for its graduate students, post docs, and PIs. The goal being to provide support with concrete tools and strategies to increase their [...]

Scientific Figure Making Workshop
Virtual/OnlineThis 2 hour workshop provides an introduction to producing effective scientific figures for use in reports and publications. Together we will look at how to design figures clearly to accurately represent your data and conveying your research in an effective manner. The course will encompass principles of visual design and provides strategies for choosing figure elements and composition.
Regenerative Rehabilitation Research Symposium
OnlineRegenerative Rehabilitation: an emerging field that integrates regenerative medicine with rehabilitation therapies Simon Fraser University and BCREGMED are proud to present a first-of-its-kind, virtual Regenerative Rehabilitation Research Symposium taking place January 19th and 20th, 2021 (10AM-12PM both days)! This unique event seeks to explore the interface of tissue engineering and regenerative therapies with rehabilitation techniques. Background: As most of us know, regenerative medicine involves the regeneration or replacement of diseased cells and tissues using tools such as stem cells, engineered tissues, biomaterials, or molecules. Two pressing questions surround this approach: 1) it is necessary to precondition biological materials prior to implantation? [...]

UBC Tissue Clearing and Expansion 2021
OnlineBCREGMED and the Dynamic Brain Circuits in Health & Disease team are excited to offer a TWO DAY online workshop to facilitate the use of tissue clearing and expansion techniques in the research lab. September 22nd and 23rd 10AM - 1PM both days ZOOM Purpose Biological specimens are intrinsically difficult to image. Currently used tools and methods, which cut two-dimensional sections of tissue samples to provide insight into the cellular components, lack in their ability to reveal the systemic nature of tissues and organs which are inherently three-dimensional. On the other hand, imaging deep into intact tissues brings with it [...]
