BCREGMED and the Dynamic Brain Circuits in Health & Disease team are excited to offer a full day workshop to facilitate the use of tissue clearing and expansion techniques in the regenerative medicine lab. November 7th 9am-4pm DMCBH Koerner Labs Conference Centre First floor, UBC Hospital Koerner Pavilion 2211 Wesbrook Mall Vancouver, BC Canada V6T 2B5 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 [...]

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 [...]

MICROBIOME RESOURCES & SEQUENCING AT UBC Half day workshop exploring the applications of microbiome research and currently used techniques and tools. Attendees will learn how to sequencing the microbiome and how to apply that data to determine the connection between gene expression and metabolic signatures. Agenda Talk – Kelly McNagny: Overview of the microbiome its applications to disease research (focus hematopoiesis, immune responses, and allergic disease) Talk – Carolina Tropini: Techniques to environmentally alter the microbiome (laxatives, antibiotics). Talk – Tao Huan: Metabolomics / Influence of microbiome on metabolomics analysis BREAK Talk – Lisa Osbourne: Microbiome and germ free mice as [...]

THE SURPRISING SECRET FIRST STEP TO SILENCING YOUR INNER CRITIC WITH MELISSA E. ANDERS In our current situation of a global pandemic, suddenly, you have the time to analyze your data and write your paper or grant. And, when you sit down to write, there is an opening for your inner critic. You will know the voice of your inner critic because it is stopping you from taking action. It may be any combination of doubt, questioning, confusion, circling, overanalyzing, perfecting and uncertainty. You also know, that even though it may feel like just a whisper, there is another part of [...]
