SUMMARY:Speaking of Science with Eve M. Valera\, Ph.D.: 'Intimate Partner Violence and Traumatic Brain Injury' and 'The Brain and Adult ADHD'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our monthly series exploring current discoveries and debates in science. This month’s topic: Intimate Partner Violence Related Traumatic Brain Injury: \nThe Valera Lab uses MRI in conjunction with measures of cognitive functioning to assess the effects of physical abuse resulting in traumatic brain injury (TBI) in women sustaining intimate partner-violence (IPV). In our current work\, we are using a range of methodologies including neuroimaging\, neuropsychological assessment\, and interviews to characterize women’s partner-related TBI history and its relationship to neural\, cognitive\, and psychological functioning. \nDr. Eve M. Valera is currently Director of the Valera Lab\, an Associate Professor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School\, and a Research Scientist at Massachusetts General Hospital. She has been working in the field of domestic violence for over 25 years. Her current work uses a range of methodologies to understand the neural\, neuropsychological and psychological consequences of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) resulting from intimate partner-violence (IPV). Dr. Valera also spent a significant portion of her career working to understand the neurobiology of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and in particular\, the role of the cerebellum in this disorder.  She frequently lectures on these topics locally\, nationally and internationally and spends much of her time training stakeholders and raising awareness of partner violence related brain injuries. \nClick to join at start | Zoom ID 838 1778 1084 | Passcode 675527\nTo join by phone (audio only)\, dial (929) 205-6099 and enter the Zoom ID above.

Looking at two prominent examples\, RNA interference and genome editing\, we can extract some common themes and key lessons applicable to future discoveries. \nAbout Our Speaker \nDavid Bumcrot\, PhD\, is Chief Scientific Officer and Senior Vice President of Research at CAMP4 Therapeutics\, where he oversees the Biology\, Data Science and Discovery teams. \nPrior to joining CAMP4\, Dr. Bumcrot led groups at innovative biotech companies advancing novel technologies towards clinical development. He was one of the first employees at Alnylam pharmaceuticals where he spent ten years working to make RNA interference-based drugs a reality for multiple indications\, including key contributions to a first-in-class systemically administered siRNA therapeutic tested in an oncology clinical trial. Dr. Bumcrot then moved on to Editas Medicine where his team established the company’s initial therapeutic programs utilizing groundbreaking CRISPR technology. \nDr. Bumcrot received his Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University and a PhD in molecular biology from the University of Pennsylvania. He completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard University. \nClick to join at start | Zoom ID 838 1778 1084 | Passcode 675527\nTo join by phone (audio only)\, dial (929) 205-6099 and enter the Zoom ID above.

SUMMARY:Speaking of Science: Harnessing the Immune System to Cure Cancer with Dr. M. Lia Palomba (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Speaking of Science returns on Zoom! The program will feature a forty-minute talk followed by a Q&A. Society member Carol Portlock moderates. \nThis month\, our guest will explore how the immune system is being used to fight cancer. \nThis Month’s Speaker: \nDr. M. Lia Palomba is a hematologist-oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center who specializes in the study and treatment of lymphoma. Her work focuses on the development of novel therapies for patients with B cell lymphoma\, including indolent lymphomas (follicular\, marginal zone\, small lymphocytic)\, Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia\, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia\, as well as aggressive lymphoma\, such as diffuse large-B cell lymphoma. \nDr. Palomba’s research interest is in tumor immunology\, and she is involved in the development of novel therapies that exploit the immune system as a way to treat cancer. She is the head of hematological malignancies for the Cellular Therapeutics Center\, which has played a fundamental role in the development and implementation of CAR T cell therapy. She is also interested in developing targeted therapies for lymphoma and in understanding the mechanisms by which these therapies work. \nClick to join at start | Zoom ID 838 1778 1084 | Passcode 675527
