SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Biomedical Engineering (BME 500) Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Immunodeficient Rabbit Models: A new platform for biomedical discovery\nAbstract:\nImmunodeficient rodent models have become essential to the advancement of many prominent biomedical fields\, including immuno-oncology\, regenerative medicine\, and human cell therapy development. While there are several commercially available immunodeficient mouse and rat models\, biomedical researchers still face insurmountable challenges that cannot be resolved due to the inherent limitations of their small body size and short lifespan\, which limit their utility in translational studies. These models include monogenic knockout lines\, such as Il2rg\, Rag1 or 2\, and Prkdc\, as well as multigenic knockout lines on a non-obesity diabetic background\, for example the popular NSG and NRG mice. Our lab has established multiple genetically engineered lines of immunodeficient New Zealand White rabbits\, using CRISPR/Cas9 technology\, including knockout models of critical immune system genes\, such as FOXN1\, RAG2\, and IL2RG. This talk will focus on the research and development needed to overcome obstacles in the housing and care for immunodeficient rabbit models as well as the characterization of the NZRG rabbit\, a new multigenic ultra-immunodeficient rabbit model.   \n\nBio:\nDr. Pallas is a veterinary scientist and clinical associate professor of laboratory animal medicine at the University of Michigan. His expertise lies in the development and use of genetically modified rabbit models for biomedical research. His research efforts are focused on the creation and characterization of genetically engineered lines of immunodeficient rabbits\, to provide the research community with a transformational non-rodent model for cancer research and regenerative medicine applications. He also serves as the Veterinary Director for the NIH funded National Center of Rabbit Models for Translational Research (NCRM). In these roles\, he leads in-vivo experimental studies and provides guidance and oversight in the clinical\, surgical\, and pathological related aspects of newly generated disease models.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Graduate: Spiritual Wellness Group
DESCRIPTION:What grounds you? What gives your life meaning? And how do you make space to actually think about those questions in the middle of college life?\n\nSpiritual Wellness Group is an 8-week small-group experience designed to help students slow down\, reflect\, and develop skills for tending to their inner lives.\n\nThrough conversation\, reflection\, creative activities\, and shared practices\, participants will strengthen skills in self-awareness\, values clarification\, deep listening\, meaningful conversation\, navigating differences\, and identifying practices that support their well-being. Together\, we’ll explore how our identities\, relationships\, experiences\, beliefs\, questions\, and values shape the way we understand ourselves and the world around us.\n\nYou do not need to identify as religious or spiritual to participate. This is a space for curiosity rather than certainty—where students can ask big questions\, learn from one another\, and become more intentional about what helps them feel grounded and connected.\n\nBy the end of the eight weeks\, we hope participants leave with:\n\nA clearer understanding of the values and experiences that shape them\nPractical tools for reflection and spiritual well-being\nGreater confidence having meaningful conversations across different beliefs and perspectives\nStronger listening and relationship-building skills\nNew practices for finding grounding\, meaning\, and connection in everyday life\nA community of students willing to engage thoughtfully with some of life's bigger questions\n\nSeparate groups are available for undergraduate and graduate students. Light refreshments are provided during sessions\, and participants will conclude the eight weeks with a celebration dinner together.\n\nCome as you are. You don't need to have your spirituality figured out—you just need to be willing to explore.
