SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:RNA Innovation Seminar: Polly Hsu\, Michigan State University
DESCRIPTION:Polly Hsu\, Ph.D.\nAssistant Professor\nBiochemistry and Molecular Biology\nMichigan State University\n\nKeywords: translation\, uORFs\, nonsense-mediated decay\n\nAbstract: 30-70% of mRNAs in humans\, mice and plants contain short ORFs\, called upstream ORFs (uORFs)\, in their 5’ leader sequences. The translation of uORFs is expected to repress the protein synthesis of their downstream main ORF (mORF) and to trigger mRNA degradation\, presumably through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). I will share our current progress investigating the global and gene-specific mechanisms by which uORFs regulate gene expression in Arabidopsis and tomato. I will discuss 1) different classes of uORFs revealed by Ribo-seq\, 2) the roles of uORFs on transcription factor and protein kinase genes\, 3) the mRNA stability of uORF-containing genes\, and 4) cellular regulatory mechanisms to include or avoid uORFs on mRNA sequences.\n\nHYBRID SEMINAR:\nIn-person: BSRB\, ABC seminar rooms\nzoom option: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_04eu5WLkS56ZK169pLUFdg

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:STS Speaker. On Pandemic Potential
DESCRIPTION:In the aftermath of the West African Ebola crisis\, the World Bank along with WHO\, reinsurers\, and a catastrophic risk modeling firm\, developed the Pandemic Emergency Financing Facility (PEF). The aim of the PEF was to leverage private investment to rapidly finance pandemic emergency responses in poor countries. The construction and design of the PEF hinges upon a definition and formal mathematical rendering of what they’ve described as ‘pandemic potential.’ Pandemic potential—the idea that certain pathogens are more likely than others to cause mass sickness across national borders and over a short period of time -- signals a particular relationship between pathogens and public health scientists’ prophetic relation to the past. \n\nWhile much has been written about temporal ideologies governing pandemic preparedness and discourse\, less has been said about the categories of person/human and place/geographies that ‘pandemic potential’ also presumes and produces. In this conversation\, I hope to discuss what all of this means in relation to race\, finance capital\, and geography\, via a close reading of the bond’s documentation\, interviews with key players in the development of the bond\, and other critical analyses of the public health’s financialization.\n\nAdia Benton is an associate professor of Anthropology and African Studies at Northwestern University\, where she is affiliated with the Science in Human Culture Program. She is the author of the award-winning book\, HIV Exceptionalism: Development through Disease in Sierra Leone\, and is currently writing a book about the West African Ebola outbreak. More broadly\, she studies the political\, economic and historical factors shaping how care is provided in complex humanitarian emergencies and in longer-term development projects – like those for health.\n\nCo-sponsored by the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies\, Office of Global Public Health\, African Studies Center\, Department of Anthropology

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Will Bullfighting  Survive The Decade?
DESCRIPTION:Bullfighting was once known as Spain’s “national fiesta”. For centuries\, it was a major cultural industry not only in the Iberian Peninsula but also in the South of France and across much of Latin America. Ethical objections and a flailing economic model mean that its future is no longer secure. Tales of ageing and flailing audiences have been exaggerated in Spain\, with significantly more tickets being sold for bullfights than\, say\, the theatre. It is\, however\, an expensive spectacle that cannot be easily downsized. In this lecture\, Duncan Wheeler argues that a blanket prohibition is unlikely to take place over the next decade but that\, unless public subsidies are increased and/or the traditional and endogamic taurine establishment becomes more imaginative with its business model(s)\, bullfighting may well cease to exist in its current form before 2030.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IOE 813 Seminar: Daniel Otero-Leon
DESCRIPTION:Preventing chronic diseases is an essential aspect of medical care. To prevent chronic diseases\, physicians focus on monitoring their risk factors and prescribing the necessary medication. The optimal monitoring policy depends on the patient's risk factors and demographics. Monitoring too frequently may be unnecessary and costly\; on the other hand\, monitoring the patient infrequently means the patient may forgo needed treatment and experience adverse events related to the disease. We propose a finite horizon and finite-state Markov decision process to define monitoring policies. To build our Markov decision process\, we estimate stochastic models based on longitudinal observational data from electronic health records for a large cohort of patients seen in the national U.S. Veterans Affairs health system. We use our model to study policies for whether or when to assess the need for cholesterol-lowering medications. We further use our model to investigate the role of gender and race on optimal monitoring policies.\nDaniel F. Otero‐Leon is a Ph.D. candidate in the department of Industrial and Operations Engineering (IOE) at the University of Michigan and is co-advised by Dr. Brian Denton and Dr. Mariel Lavieri of IOE. His research interests are generally in operations research and\, more specifically\, in stochastic models and stochastic dynamic programming with applications to service systems\, including health systems and revenue management. His dissertation research is in the area of data-driven models for improving decision-making in the context of cardiovascular disease\, with the help of clinical collaborators at the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. His work seeks to develop new frameworks that aim for health equity by considering patients' health disparities in disease prevention policies.\n\nThe seminar series “Providing Better Healthcare through Systems Engineering” is presented by the U-M Center for Healthcare Engineering and Patient Safety (CHEPS): Our mission is to improve the safety and quality of healthcare delivery through a multi-disciplinary\, systems-engineering approach.\n\nRSVP or contact genehkim@umich.edu for the Zoom link and password\, and to be added to the weekly e-mail for the series.
