SUMMARY:Carolina Seminar Series | Ensuring Fairness: At the Crossroads of Equity and Economic Considerations in Precision Medicine
DESCRIPTION:Ensuring Fairness: At the Crossroads of Equity and Economic Considerations in Precision Medicine \nTuesday\, March 26 | 12 p.m. ET | Virtual \nSpeaker: Kate Saylor\, PhD\nFellow\, Ethical\, Legal\, and Social Implications (ELSI) of Genetics and Genomics\,\nPerelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania \nEfforts to expand access to genomic health and precision medicine have resulted in a proliferation of screening programs for healthy adult populations across the nation. Issues of fairness and equity abound in medicine and are a critical component of assessing implementation of these genomic health and precision medicine efforts. But how can programs such as genomic screening ensure equitable access within a healthcare system that is already characterized by massive health disparities and barriers to equitable access? When and how should cost-effectiveness be considered when designing screening programs and their offerings? How can cost-effectiveness models incorporate justice\, equity and inclusion? In this seminar session\, we will explore these questions and the overall relationship between equity and economic considerations in precision medicine. \nTo learn more and register\, visit the event webpage.

SUMMARY:Translating Science from Bench to Bedside: A Case for Extracellular Vesicles
DESCRIPTION:Translating Science from Bench to Bedside: A Case for Extracellular Vesicles \nThursday\, February 29 | 9 a.m. ET | Online \nSpeaker: Dr. Carlos Salomon Gallo \nDr. Salomon is the head of the Translational Extracellular Vesicles in Obstetrics and Gynae-Oncology Group\, NHMRC Investigator Fellow and is considered a worldwide authority on extracellular vesicles (EVs) biomarkers for complications of pregnancies and ovarian cancer (OC). In the last 10 years\, Dr. Salomon’s primary research and commercialization activities have focused on the identification and validation of biomarkers\, and development of In Vitro Multivariate Index Assays for clinically relevant complications (including ovarian cancers\, and obstetrical syndromes) and their translation into clinical applications. He is a pioneer in investigating the release of EVs by the placenta and tumor cells and their utility as a biomarker for a wide range of pregnancy complications and OC. \nThis talk will cover the burgeoning field of EVs signaling holds the potential to revolutionize our understanding of cancer biology and offers new avenues for non-invasive diagnostics and therapeutic interventions. EVs have been implicated in various aspects of cancer progression\, including tumor initiation\, metastasis\, and response to therapy. From the early stages of tumor development\, tumor-derived EVs are detectable in the circulation. \nTo learn more and register\, visit the GGMC Educational Webinar Series webpage. \nPlease note: Registration is required for this webinar. \n

SUMMARY:Duke Genomic Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:A platform approach to develop and deploy CRISPR-Cas based experimental therapies for inborn errors of immunity in an academic/nonprofit setting \nThursday\, February 8 | 2-3 p.m. ET | Bryan Neurobiology Research Building\, Rm 103 \nSpeaker: Fyodor Urnov\, PhD\nProfessor of Molecular & Cellular Biology\, University of California\, Berkeley\nDirector of Technology & Translation\, Innovative Genomics Institute \nThe vast majority of diseases clinically tractable by genome editing using current-state technology are not the targets of active preclinical or clinical development. Addressing this issue will require more involvement of the academic/nonprofit sector\, but despite an existing charted path for advancing genome editing of specific cell types and tissues (such as T cells\, hematopoietic stem cells\, the liver\, and the retina) to the clinic\, there presently is only one open US IND for genome editing by an all-academic group. A key reason is that the current manufacturing\, regulatory\, and healthcare economics environment is not configured to maximize clinical impact of a technology like CRISPR-Cas. Under the framework that exists today\, a pediatric patient newly diagnosed with a terminal illness such as a severe inborn error of immunity due to a never-before-seen but clinically editable mutation and a life expectancy of < 1 yr will have to wait ~3.5 years until a gene editing medicine is engineered\, tested\, and manufactured at an approximate total cost of $9m. An actionable path through this status quo is to develop and clinically derisk a dedicated nonclinical development path for use in academic/nonprofit settings in N=1/rare situations of dire medical need. From a technology standpoint\, this will require comprehensive leveraging of the intrinsically platform nature of CRISPR-Cas gene editing. The Innovative Genomics Institute in close partnership with clinicians at UCSF and UCLA is developing such a platform focused on inborn errors of immunity\, where ca 112\,000 known patients suffering from 505 currently known diseases lack even a single open trial for genome editing open at the present time. \nTo learn more\, visit Duke’s Genomic Seminar Series page. \nPlease note: This seminar series occurs quarterly with some events occurring virtually only and others in-person with streaming options.

SUMMARY:Carolina Seminar Series | Precision Medicine Research and Novel Clinical Offerings: Ensuring Equitable Impact Through Implementation Science
DESCRIPTION:Precision Medicine Research and Novel Clinical Offerings: Ensuring Equitable Impact Through Implementation Science \nWednesday\, December 6 | 4 p.m. ET | Online \nSpeakers: Caitlin Allen\, PhD\, MPH\nAssistant Professor\, Medical University of South Carolina \nElizabeth Mayer-Davis\, PhD\, RD\nBoshamer Distinguished Professor of Nutrition and Medicine\, UNC-Chapel Hill \nAs technologies and health interventions expand at a rapid rate in healthcare\, many providers and patients desire quick and efficient incorporation of these new offerings in to practice.  The field of implementation science can be critical in studying the barriers and facilitators to bring options previously available only in the research realm to the clinic. The design and development of health interventions are increasingly informed by implementation science theories\, models\, and frameworks to emphasize diverse reach and improve adoption and increase health equity in under served and marginalized communities. By testing new clinical offerings with implementation science methodologies\, we can improve the quality of health practices for all patients while promoting equity and inclusion and ensuring that the availability of novel clinical offerings does not exacerbate existing health disparities. \nTo learn more and register\, visit the UNC events page. \nPlease note: Registration is required for this seminar.
