SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:McKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series: Utibe R. Essien\, MD\, MPH
DESCRIPTION:McKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series: Utibe R. Essien\, MD\, MPH\nDate: Thursday November 13\, 2025\nTime: 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm\nLocation: Palmer Commons\, Great Lakes Room\, 100 Washtenaw Ave\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109\nTitle: Pursuing Pharmacoequity: A Prescription for Health\n\nThis event is free of cost. Refreshments will be provided. RSVP is requested to aid in an accurate headcount for catering. Please help us be good stewards of University resources and update your response if plans change.\n\nCoined by Utibe R. Essien\, MD\, MPH\, pharmacoequity is defined as “ensuring all individuals\, regardless of race and ethnicity\, socioeconomic status\, or availability of resources\, have access to the highest-quality medications required to manage their health needs.”. The goal of this talk is to explain the concept of pharmacoequity and how individuals can apply this knowledge to their practice and communities.\n\nSpeaker\nUtibe R. Essien\, MD\, MPH\nAssistant Professor of Medicine\, David Geffen School of Medicine\, University of California Los Angeles\; Associate Vice Chair\, Community Engagement and Inclusive Excellence\, Department of Medicine\n\nBiography\nUtibe R. Essien\, MD\, MPH\, FACP is a board-certified\, internal medicine physician\, an Assistant Professor of Medicine and health equity researcher at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. A proud New Yorker\, Dr. Essien received his MD from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx\, NY before training in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School. After residency he remained at MGH to complete a General Internal Medicine fellowship and receive an MPH degree from the Harvard School of Public Health.\n\nDr. Essien’s research focuses on disparities in the use of novel medications and technologies\, particularly in the management of cardiovascular diseases. In 2021\, he coined the term “pharmacoequity\,” providing a new framework to achieving equitable access to care. He is an emerging leader in the field\, as recognized by over 120 peer-reviewed publications and research grants from the Department of Veterans Affairs and the American Heart Association. His research has earned him numerous national awards including a 2023 Young Physician Scientist Award from the American Society for Clinical Investigation (ASCI)\, the 2024 Society of General Internal Medicine (SGIM) Outstanding Junior Investigator of the Year Award\, and selection as an Emerging Leader in Health and Medicine by the National Academy of Medicine (NAM).\n\nMcKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series\n\nDisparities in health and healthcare have been are prevalent\, particularly in underserved or minority communities\, as a result of a variety of factors such as birthplace\, housing\, education\, race\, age\, sexual identity and other nonmedical factors. These factors are commonly referred to as the social determinants of health (SDOH). As a result of SDOH\, quality healthcare and treatment can be difficult to access for many who don’t fall into the dominant group and must confront barriers to receive treatment.\n\nExamples of barriers to adequate healthcare treatment include poverty\, lack of access to quality education or positive social activities\, and unhealthy environmental factors. These factors must be addressed in order to achieve positive health outcomes and equity in access to healthcare and treatment for all. To help illuminate and educate around issues involving social determinants of health\, the College of Pharmacy and the McKesson Foundation have teamed up to launch the McKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series.\n\nFor the past two years the College of Pharmacy at the University of Michigan in partnership with the McKesson Foundation has hosted a speaker series based on the topic of health equity. The McKesson Foundation is dedicated to advancing health outcomes for all with the mission to removing barriers to quality healthcare across the country\, especially for vulnerable and underserved communities. The College of Pharmacy also has a longstanding history of fighting to address addressing disparities in healthcare and is a leader in the fight for equitable healthcare for all individuals. This alignment in values and mission of both organizations led to the provision awarding of a grant to resulted in the College of Pharmacy being awarded a grant in 2022 to launch what we now call the McKesson Foundation Health Equity Speaker Series\, with the goal of educating the UM community and inspiring those around us to find solutions that address inequities in healthcare and beyond.\n\nAbout our Funder\, the McKesson Foundation\nThe McKesson Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to improving health outcomes for vulnerable and underserved populations. It focuses on initiatives that address healthcare disparities\, promote patient-centered care\, and support cancer care and survivorship. Through grants\, partnerships\, and employee-driven giving programs\, the foundation aims to foster innovative solutions that enhance community health and well-being.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:When the Air We Breathe Ages Our Arteries: Mechanisms of Vascular Injury from Fire Smoke Inhalation\nAbstract:\nCardiovascular aging reflects the gradual loss of vascular compliance and serves as a powerful indicator of overall cardiovascular health. Hallmarks of this process include inflammation\, oxidative stress\, endothelial dysfunction\, and aortic stiffening\, all of which compromise the ability of large arteries to regulate blood flow and pressure\, increasing susceptibility to disease. Our research program seeks to uncover the molecular mechanisms that drive these functional shifts and to determine how environmental stressors accelerate vascular aging. In this seminar\, I will first highlight recent findings from our work mapping the trajectory of aortic aging in mice. Using single-cell transcriptomics and mechanical testing\, we identified immune cell accumulation\, extracellular matrix remodeling\, and altered Piezo-1 signaling as key processes that increase aortic stiffness with age. I will then discuss how chronic exposure to wildfire smoke\, an increasingly common environmental hazard\, can recapitulate age-associated vascular maladaptation. Through a mouse model scaled to the exposure of wildland firefighters\, we demonstrated that repeated inhalation of Douglas Fir smoke induces inflammation\, oxidative and nitrosative stress\, endothelial dysfunction\, and fibrotic remodeling of the aortic wall\, leading to vascular stiffening and elevated blood pressure. Collectively\, these studies frame vascular aging as a unifying lens through which to understand the cardiovascular consequences of environmental exposures and highlight pathways that may guide future prevention and intervention strategies.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:IES Energy Seminar Series -  Democratizing Access to Power Grid Data and Models
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Power grid operations have been profoundly influenced by innovations in data analytics\, optimization\, and control — all thriving on the availability of power grid data and models. However\, as power grids contain much proprietary data and increasingly become targets of cyberattacks\, releasing information from power systems now requires carefully balancing grid transparency\, data owner privacy\, and security objectives. The last two are often prioritized by conservative grid operators at the expense of the former. How can we systematically balance grid transparency with the privacy and cyber resilience of power systems?\n\nIn this talk\, I will provide algorithmic answers to this question that quantify and control information disclosures from power systems while ensuring that the source system and its actors are not exposed to cyber and privacy risks. They are based on the fusion of power grid engineering\, operations research\, differential privacy\, and diffusion models\, various combinations of which enable controllable data disclosures in various contexts. Our solutions aim to set new standards for trustworthy data sharing in the power systems industry\, enabling frequent and targeted data sharing\, creating new opportunities for third-party analytics\, and enabling public oversight of grid and market operations.\n\nBio: Vladimir Dvorkin is an Assistant Professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Michigan.
