Workshop
Data Science – Reg Med Lab
DATA SCIENCE FOR THE REGENERATIVE MEDICINE LAB Event Description How can regenerative medicine goals be advanced by having better computational data science platforms. How do we best handle our data, how do we design our experiment so that we are collecting the right data, and how can we optimize that collection knowing how we want it to look. What tools are available to students and faculty that can improve their collection and analysis. Is there a place for machine learning in regenerative medicine, and how would we implement it? Learn all this and more at our DATA SCIENCE WORKSHOP, featuring David [...]

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.
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 [...]
