"Recent improvements in modeling and design of RNA-only structures"

ABSTRACT: The discovery and design of biologically important RNA molecules is outpacing three-structural characterization. I'll describe results from my and Wah Chiu's groups that demonstrate that cryo-electron microscopy can resolve maps of several kinds of RNA-only systems. These maps enable subnanometer-resolution 3D coordinate estimation when complemented with multidimensional chemical mapping and Rosetta DRRAFTER computational modeling. If time allows, I'll describe work from the Eterna project to stabilize mRNA molecules to help accelerate worldwide COVID immunization.

Organized By: Psychology Undergraduates

Just as being a graduate student is very different from being an undergraduate so are the ways in which you figure out which programs are the best fit for you, and successfully apply for them. This session will be especially relevant to juniors and seniors in the process of researching and applying to graduate school: How to find the right programs, how to structure your personal statement and get strong recommendation letters, do you have to take the GRE – and what if you don’t score as well as you’d like? However, we’ll also talk about what you should be doing to prepare as early as your sophomore or even freshman year. We’ll have both a short presentation and a panel of graduate students, including those who have recently served on admissions committees.

Speaker:
Philip R.O. Payne, PhD, FACMI, FAMIA, FAIMBE, FIAHSI
Janet and Bernard Becker Professor and Director, Institute for Informatics (I2), Associate Dean for Health information and Data Science, Chief Data Scientist, at Washington University in St. Louis

This presentation will explore the ways in Biomedical Data Science and Informatics research are helping to realize the potential of EHR technologies in the context of creating an LHS, from the optimization of workflow and human factors, to the generation of reproducible and systematic clinical phenotypes, to the delivery of emergent knowledge to both providers and patients via advance clinical decision support systems.

Presentation 2
Techniques and Challenges for EHR Phenotyping

Speaker:
Lisa Bastarache, MS
Research Associate Professor Department of Biomedical Informatics,
Vanderbilt University

Electronic health records (EHR) contain a wealth of real world data that can be used for research purposes. However, extracting phenotype information from EHRs can be challenging. EHR phenotyping can be divided into two types: (1) Fast phenotyping which seeks to capture a broad swath of the medical phenome, and is often accomplished using coded EHR data (e.g. billing codes) and (2) slow phenotyping that seeks to achieve high precision and recall for a single phenotype, and often uses multiple EHR data types (e.g. medications, text, lab results). This talk will describe specific use-cases for both fast and slow phenotyping, and review challenges that are commonly encountered in creating research-grade EHR phenotypes.

"Fluorescent nucleoside analogues with new properties"

HYBRID EVENT
in-person: Forum Hall, Palmer Commons
Zoom: https://umich.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__vvE2dtHQi-R3h05JUHBzQ

ABSTRACT
Fluorescent nucleoside analogues (FNAs) are powerful probes for studying the structure and dynamics of nucleic acids, which are vital to understanding RNA function, DNA damage repair, nucleic acid–protein interactions, regulatory mechanisms for gene expression, and other aspects of nucleic acid function. Existing FNAs are prone to quenching by base pairing and stacking, are clustered at the blue–green end of the visible spectrum, and have limited brightness as compared with conventional fluorophores. Studies of nucleic acid function would benefit greatly from overcoming these limitations. We have designed, synthesized, and studied a series of fluorescent pyrimidine analogues, aiming to address these limitations and develop a detailed understanding of the relationships between chemical structure and fluorescent responses to local environment in nucleic acids. Included in this series is a tricyclic cytidine analogue DEAtC that is nearly non-fluorescent as a nucleoside, but responds to matched base pairing and stacking with a fluorescence turn-on. A chlorinated tricyclic cytidine 8-Cl-tCO reports on local environment by changes in the vibrational fine structure of its emission spectra. To address the problem of limited brightness, we have design and synthesized a new NFA that we call ABN, which has a conjugated push–pull system similar to those found in bright fluorophores such as rhodamines. ABN is the brightest known FNA when present in duplex nucleic acids, and it is readily detected in single-molecule fluorescence measurements using both 1-photon and 2-photon excitation. Collectively, these FNAs offer new capabilities for biophysical studies on nucleic acids. Comparisons of their structure and properties help to reveal mechanisms for fluorescence changes in response to local environment in nucleic acids.

Getting involved in research can seem exciting but a little intimidating, too. But you don’t have to be an expert to start! We’ll talk about what to expect, and what will (and won’t) be expected from you when you first get involved with a lab. We’ll also have several students who have completed the STAR Scholars program and who are now working in labs describe their experiences and answer your questions.

The quantum Hall effect, an unexpected discovery at 2 a.m. on the 5th of February 1980 led to my Nobel Prize in 1985 and to a realization of a resistance standard based on fundamental constants. Since fundamental constants are the most stable quantities in our universe, a new international system of units based on constants of nature was introduced in 2019. The talk presents an overview of the quantum Hall effect and this importance for our new definition of the mass unit kilogram.

The best laid plans can go awry with poorly thought through conclusions drawn from otherwise accurate data. Learn to identify misleading results (deliberate or accidental) in research with an exercise from the famous University of Washington course Calling Bullshit.

We'll look at an example from science media, from a researcher, and from an NIH report, each of which have serious but easy to miss errors but still got published. Just what is wrong with the papers? How did the editors neglect to find the issue with their conclusions? Why did the scientist who wrote up the results not see their own error? (spoiler alert- the answer to all these questions is usually bias or outright discrimination)

KEYWORDS: translational regulation, gene expression, fluorescence microscopy, intrabodies, single-molecule imaging

ABSTRACT: My lab is creating technology to image mRNA translation in real time and with single-molecule precision in living cells. In this talk, I will introduce our technology and describe how it can be used to amplify fluorescence from newly synthesized proteins as they are being translated from single mRNAs. I will show how we quantify these signals to determine the size, shape, subcellular localization, and mobilities of mRNA translation sites, as well as their protein synthesis dynamics. I will then highlight a few recent applications of our technology, focusing mainly on a new biosensor we have developed to quantify how individual regulatory factors impact single mRNA translation dynamics. Using this biosensor, we provide evidence that human Argonaute2 (Ago2) shuts down translation by down regulating translation initiation on the minutes timescale and helping usher translationally silent mRNAs into P-bodies on the hours timescale. I will conclude by discussing new fluorescent intrabodies my lab is engineering to light up nascent and mature proteins in multiple colors. As these intrabodies can be encoded on plasmids, they can easily be adapted by other labs to image gene activity in diverse living systems.
Timothy J. Stasevich is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Colorado State University (CSU). His lab uses a combination of advanced fluorescence microscopy, genetic engineering, and computational modeling to study the dynamics of gene regulation in living mammalian cells. His lab helped pioneer the imaging of real-time single-mRNA translation dynamics in living cells1. Dr. Stasevich received his B.S. in Physics and Mathematics from the University of Michigan, Dearborn, and his Ph. D. in Physics from the University of Maryland, College Park. He transitioned into experimental biophysics as a post-doctoral research fellow in the laboratory of Dr. James G. McNally at the National Cancer Institute. During this time, he developed technology based on fluorescence microscopy to help establish gold-standard measurements of live-cell protein dynamics. Dr. Stasevich next moved to Osaka University, where he worked with Dr. Hiroshi Kimura as a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Foreign Postdoctoral Research Fellow. While there, he helped create technology to image endogenous proteins and their post-translation modifications in vivo. This allowed him to image the live-cell dynamics of epigenetic histone modifications during gene activation for the first time2. Before joining the faculty at CSU, Dr. Stasevich spent a year as a Visiting Fellow at the HHMI Janelia Research Campus, where he applied superresolution fluorescence microscopy to improve the spatiotemporal resolution of endogenous protein imaging in live cells.

Getting involved in research is a great way to build your skills and get the “behind the scenes” look into the science that you later learn about in your textbooks and classes. If you’re thinking of going to graduate or medical school, ideally you want to be starting in a lab by your sophomore year and in most cases no later than your junior year. But how do you find and apply for a position? And what do you do if there’s a pandemic and no positions are available? We’ll go over tips for both these situations.

She’s Gone Missing (The Epidemic You Don’t Hear About): Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women

There is an epidemic that no one is talking about outside of Indian Country. When an Indigenous woman goes missing, you don’t hear about it. Why? Within our community we are dealing with an epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. With numbers so high that they are unreported, how do we deal with it all? Why aren’t there concrete statistics? Why do the crimes go unreported? What has the FBI done to help with this epidemic? Let’s talk some history and try to find out why this is an issue, let’s learn about ‘Missing White Woman Syndrome’ and how that plays a role in the media. Learn what you can do in and out of Indian Country to make sure that our sisters, mothers, daughters, wives, girlfriends, women, don’t become a statistic.

Title: The mutational landscape and clonal dynamics of Human Somatic and Germline cells

During the course of a lifetime normal human cells accumulate mutations. Studying these mutations provides important insight into the development, maintenance and structure of normal tissues, the mutational processes that have been operative, and the role of selection in shaping cell populations. It can elucidate how each of these are altered by, or contribute to, cancer, other diseases, and ageing. However, characterising such mutations has been technically challenging, as normal cell populations consist of myriad small clones, with the mutations differing between clones. We employed laser capture microscopy combined with low input-DNA whole genome sequencing, to study clonal units across multiple cell types from the same individuals. We compared the mutational landscape in 29 cell types from the soma and germline. Our results revealed the extent of variation in clonal dynamics across tissues. Mutation rates vary between different cell types, with stem cells of the intestinal epithelium exhibiting the highest mutation rates and germ-cells in testis exhibited the lowest mutation rates thus far reported. Several mutational signatures were observed among normal cell types. However, most mutations in almost all cell types were due to SBS1 and SBS5, which are likely due to endogenous mutagenic processes. The relative contributions of these signatures differed between cell types, indicating that their rates of generation are, at least partially, independently regulated.

Organized By: TEDxUofM

TEDxUofM is a university-wide initiative to galvanize the community for an event like no other; filled with inspiration, discovery, and excitement. Borrowing the template from the world-renowned TED conference, TEDxUofM aims to bring a TED-like experience to the University of Michigan. Our vision is to showcase the most fascinating thinkers and doers, the “leaders and best” in Michigan terms, for a stimulating day of presentations, discussions, entertainment, and art that will spark new ideas and opportunities across all disciplines. Our conference will feature 8 speakers, 3 performing groups, and interactive labs/activities for attendees!

Our theme for this year’s conference is SHATTERPROOF. Through a time of fragmentation and dissonance, individuals and communities have showcased an incredible ability to withstand adversity. Resilience is found in all of us despite the size of the challenge. We use our voices to empower each other. We use ideas to drive us forward. We refuse to crack under pressure. We are shatterproof. As we set the stage with this spirit, our goal is for attendees to discover what being shatterproof means to them.

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Department of Learning Health Sciences

Unstructured clinical data, such as clinical notes and reports, along with the computational infrastructure and tools, have seen an increasing demand from the research community in the last years, mostly fueled by recent advances in statistical and machine-learning approaches to data insight. We are meeting this demand with the Information Commons – a research data platform that hosts and provides direct access to de-identified data, advanced analytics tools, and computational environments for our research community. 

While we are realizing access to de-identified electronic health records, images, omics and biobank data, this session highlights the progress made to provide more than 110 million de-identified notes to the research community. We developed and operationalized a fully automatic de-identification algorithm and implemented EMERSE, a user-friendly tool for non-programmatic access and sophisticated textual searches on the de-identified clinical notes.   

As of December 2021 Our de-identification algorithm and our clinical notes are certified de-identified and are currently available for the UCSF researchers with IRD. The presentation covers the entire pipeline from data extraction to publication and data access focusing on the secured computational infrastructure. Furthermore, we discuss the rigorous evaluation techniques to ensure the quality of the deidentification process and the resulting data according to HIPAA and UCSF Security and Privacy protection requirements. Lastly, we showcase highlights from our research collaborations enabled by this new resource of machine-redacted, unstructured clinical notes linked with de-identified structured EHR data using EMERSE and their impact on the research community.

Presenter: Jimmy Brancho, Sweetland Center for Writing

Literature reviews keep science going. Why, and how? In this workshop, we'll talk over the basics of what makes a review a review, and then delve into the factors that make for a great one. We'll talk not just about composition, but about reading, planning, and motivational strategies that can help you get started and keep going. You'll have a chance to think over your own review (whether it is a standalone review or part of your study introduction) in a small group and immediately apply the presentation to your work.

Registration: https://umich.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ah4Oa2Q3C0Dih4a

Abstract:
The understanding of strongly-correlated quantum matter has challenged physicists for decades. The discovery three years ago of correlated phases and superconductivity in magic angle twisted bilayer graphene led to the emergence of a new materials platform to investigate strongly correlated physics, namely moiré quantum matter. These systems exhibit a plethora of quantum phases, such as correlated insulators, superconductivity, magnetism, Chern insulators, and more. In this talk, Professor Jarillo-Herrero will review some of the recent advances in the field, focusing on the newest generation of moiré quantum systems, where correlated physics, superconductivity, and other fascinating phases can be studied with unprecedented tunability. He will end the talk with an outlook of some exciting directions in this emerging field.

Professor Pablo Jarillo-Herrero from MIT studies novel condensed-matter systems and is especially well-known for his pioneering work with twisted bilayer graphene.

He has received the 2020 Wolf Prize in Physics and the 2020 Buckley Prize in Condensed Matter Physics, among many other honors.

The usual pandemic-related caveats apply, but we are currently anticipating an in-person lecture and a remote feed as well.

EEB thesis defense: The role of Pseudacteon spp. on the coexistence between invasive Solenopsis invicta and Wasmannia auropunctata on Puerto Rican coffee farms (April 13, 2022 11:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/94239 94239-21726188@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 13, 2022 11:00am

Abstract
Agricultural settings such as coffee farms function as novel ecosystems, having multiple species that have not interacted with each other at any other point in history and constant human intervention. The ant community on Puerto Rican coffee farms has experienced this novelty, with the most dominant ant species being invasive. S. invicta and W. auropunctata both cause economic loss during the coffee harvest, due to their powerful stings targeting farmworkers while they are in the coffee. W. auropunctata is the most dominant across many farms, while S. invicta is the second most dominant. W. auropunctata is behaviorally passive in comparison to S. invicta, which is much more aggressive when encountering other ants. However, two different Puerto Rican farms, Gran Batey and Casa Pueblo, are seeing two different stages of dominance between W. auropunctata and S. invicta. Phorid flies (Pseudacteon spp.) may be responsible for this difference and for S. invicta not being the dominant ant. Phorid flies are parasitoids that specialize on S. invicta, limiting their competitive abilities in their native ranges. We hypothesize that phorid flies may be mediating the coexistence of the two species, ultimately allowing W. auropunctata to be the dominant ant. In this study, we conduct a disturbance survey and foraging survey to assess when and where phorids are most active and compare this activity between Gran Batey and Casa Pueblo. We find that phorid fly activity increases throughout the day, with the most activity at 12 p.m. Additionally, we find that Casa Pueblo, who is experiencing W. auropunctata dominance, has more phorid flies and more phorid fly attacks in comparison to Gran Batey which is currently experiencing S. invicta dominance. We conclude that phorid flies cause trait-mediated indirect effects (TMIE) on S. invicta, allowing them to coexist with the rest of the ant community on Puerto Rican coffee farms.

C. Contributions to Science
1. Identified Eph/ephrin cellular mechanisms in morphogenesis
We have made major contributions to understanding EPH/EPHRIN signaling mechanisms in development in multiple contexts including the craniofacial, neural and neural crest systems. The EPHs compose the largest family of receptor tyrosine kinases in the vertebrate genome constituting one quarter of the total number. Though extensively studied in the nervous system, the signaling mechanisms utilized by this family in other contexts are complex and modestly understood, particularly in vivo. We have learned that a large number of these molecules exhibit distinct expression patterns in the developing craniofacial region. In a novel “conditional-rescue” approach we discovered that EPHRIN-B2 is required in the vascular endothelium for normal NCC development. EPH/EPHRIN signaling is widely known to regulate cellular organization, but the signaling mechanisms by which it does so are unclear. By studying a series of targeted and signaling mutations in EPHRIN-B1 and its receptors EPHB2 and EPHB3 in mice, we determined that EPH/EPHRIN cell segregation involves unidirectional forward signaling from EPHRIN-B1 and relies on kinase activity of the receptors. By live cell imaging we also observe that this unidirectional signaling results in changes in cortical actomyosin accumulation and leading us to interrogate the biophysical basis for EPH/EPHRIN cell segregation. We recently discovered that EPH/EPHRIN signaling modulates the strength of cell-cell contacts by regulating cell interfacial tension through increased heterotypic cortical actomyosin contractility. The minimization of heterotypic interfacial tension also informs how EPH/EPHRIN signaling regulates tissue shape changes relevant to Contributions number 2 and 4. Current efforts in this area focus on how EPH/EPHRIN signaling regulates mesenchymal cell polarity and cell position, forming the basis for part of “Focus one” of this proposal.

2. Delineated Eph/ephrin signaling mechanisms underlying craniofrontonasal syndrome
We have focused on the role of EPH/EPHRIN signaling in craniofrontonasal syndrome (CFNS), an X-linked condition caused by mutations in EFNB1 characterized by hypertelorism, craniosynostosis, cleft lip and palate, agenesis of the corpus callosum, and particularly increased severity in female patients. By generating a series of signaling mutations in three different gene targeted mouse lines, we were able to determine the relevant modes of signaling for different EPHRIN-B1 phenotypes. We found that reverse signaling by a PDZ-dependent mechanism is critical for axon guidance, whereas it is dispensible for skeletal and craniofacial development. This work showed that different aspects of craniofrontonasal syndrome are caused by loss of function of distinct molecular EPHRIN-B1 signaling functions. Further, by integrating mouse genetics, phosphoproteomic and transcriptomic approaches we have investigated downstream signaling pathways utilized by EPHRIN-B1 in craniofacial development and disease. In this context, we were the first to show that EPH receptor expression is regulated by endocytosis in vivo, and that EPHRIN-B1 controls cell proliferation by the Ras/MAPK signaling pathway. We have also generated an hiPSC model for CFNS, which to our knowledge is the first hiPSC model of a congenital craniofacial syndrome, and used to it ask key questions about the cellular etiology underlying this perplexing disease. Recently, we coupled geometric morphometric techniques with temporal and spatial manipulation of EPHRIN-B1 signaling to elucidate how Efnb1 mutations result in stereotyped dysmorphology in CFNS. Current efforts in this area focus on delineating the proximal signal transduction mechanisms employed by EPH/EPHRIN-B1 signaling in craniofacial morphogenesis using CRISPR/CAS9 based methods.

3. Developed live imaging approaches to discover cellular mechanisms of craniofacial tissue fusions
Though tissue fusion is a critical final step of lip and palate development, we currently lack cellular resolution understanding of how these tissue fusion events occur, and how they are controlled. We have been examining the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which tissue fusion occurs by combining live imaging of mouse morphogenesis with mouse genetic and physical perturbations. We developed the first successful application of confocal live imaging technology to secondary palate development, and it has allowed us to make new discoveries on the cellular mechanisms at play. Our results indicate that tissue fusion proceeds by a progression of dynamic cell behaviors beginning with convergence of two independent epithelia and concomitant to orthogonal displacement of the resultant shared epithelium. Further, we have found that epithelial cell extrusion, in which cells are squeezed out of an epithelium, is a novel contributor to the removal of the midline epithelial seam (MES). A nearly completed manuscript presents a new live imaging approach to understanding secondary palate fusion, and demonstrates a unique and novel form of collective epithelial migration that is crucial for this process. Most recently, we have also established live imaging approaches for the study of upper lip/primary palate fusion, which we are using to study roles for actomyosin contractility and cell adhesion in this process.

4. Improved mouse genetics tools for the study of craniofacial and neural crest development and disease
In the course of our studies, we discovered that the Wnt1-Cre mouse line exhibits developmental phenotypes attributable to elevated and ectopic activation of Wnt signaling. This is a standard and widely used reagent in the fields of craniofacial development and neural crest stem cell biology and our careful analysis of this reagent has already had broad-reaching effects causing labs to re-examine previously published work. To provide a reagent that is devoid of these complications, we generated a Wnt1-Cre2 transgenic mouse line that exhibits the same pattern of activity as Wnt1-Cre but does not cause ectopic activation of Wnt signaling or developmental phenotypes. Over the past five years, I have also served as the faculty advisor for the UCSF mouse inventory database, which facilitates the sharing of genetically modified mouse lines. Most recently, my lab has successfully adopted the iGONAD electroporation method for rapid generation of new mouse lines which we are employing to generate new mouse models for the study of congenital disease.

5. Understanding how cell fate and morphogenesis are coupled in the developing foregut
Based initially on phenotypes that we discovered in an Efnb2 mutant mouse line that we generated, we have now established a robust research focus on understanding the specification and morphogenesis of the trachea and esophagus. Classical developmental biology experiments hypothesize that two transcription factors, NKX2.1 and SOX2 act as master regulators of these fates, but this remains untested at the transcriptome level and their targets were unknown. we combine state-of-the-art transcriptomic experiments in embryonic tissues with functional mouse genetic experiments to expose the fundamental process of fate specification of the trachea and esophagus. We performed single cell RNA sequencing in mice to establish a transcriptome-wide understanding of the early steps of trachea and esophagus development and used these data, combined with RNA-sequencing of mutants and embryonic ChIP-seq to interrogate the transcriptome-wide function of NKX2.1 in tracheal and esophageal development. The results of these experiments provide a new understanding of how the trachea and esophagus are initially specified at the genome-wide level. Our studies also reveal that NKX2.1 directly represses Efnb2 to regulate the site of tracheoesophageal separation. These discoveries may be impactful to the study of tracheal, lung, and esophageal developmental biology and related structural anomalies in humans, as well as for the fields of embryonic stem cell biology and for lung and esophageal cancer for which these are keystone transcriptional pathways.

Organized By: Comparative Literature

How are our affective encounters with literature, art, and media bound by time, and how are we also—in such encounters—temporally unbound? If literary texts have variously been framed as anticipating, disruptive of, conforming to, producing, inhabiting, and/or responding to axes of time (as “timely,” “untimely,” “ahead of their time,” “nostalgic,” or “avant-garde”), they have likewise been understood as objects of pure fascination, aesthetic experience, and enchantment.

Enchantment, in particular, is frequently understood as an ephemeral experience, unique to the moment of our encounter with the enchanting. We are enchanted by things for brief, passing moments; we sometimes return to a once-enchanting object only to find the glamor it once cast upon us has broken; and at other times, this rediscovery itself—re-encountering a text or encountering it in a new (translated, adapted) form—prompts our re-enchantment.

To mark its 26th anniversary, the University of Michigan Comparative Literature Intra-Student Faculty Forum (CLIFF) organizes a virtual graduate conference that critically and creatively explores the intersection of world literatures, temporalities, and enchantment. We welcomed work that investigates literary and artistic constructions of and responses to notions of temporality and enchantment from aesthetic, historical, industrial, material, technological, speculative, post/colonial, feminist, queer, religious, translational, local and/or global perspectives.
CLIFF 2022 received submissions from graduate students (U-M and beyond) and was open to academic papers from across disciplines that deal with a wide variety of languages and time periods as well as creative and experimental genres.

Michael Allan’s research focuses on debates in world literature, postcolonial studies, literary theory, as well as film and visual culture, primarily in Africa and the Middle East. In both his research and teaching, he bridges textual analysis with social theory, and draws from methods in anthropology, religion, queer theory and area studies. He is the author of In the Shadow of World Literature: Sites of Reading in Colonial Egypt (Princeton 2016, Co-Winner of the MLA Prize for a First Book) and of articles in venues such as PMLA, Modernism/Modernity, Comparative Literature Studies, Early Popular Visual Culture, The International Journal of Middle East Studies, and the Journal of Arabic Literature. He is also a guest editor of a special issue of Comparative Literature (“Reading Secularism: Religion, Literature, Aesthetics”), and with Elisabetta Benigni, an issue of Philological Encounters (“Lingua Franca: Toward a Philology of the Sea”). He is at work on a second book, Picturing the World: The Global Routes of Early Cinema, 1896-1903, which traces the transnational history of camera operators working for the Lumière Brothers film company.

Talk Title: Biomedical Data Science: The Hope, Hype, and Promise

Abstract: Data science was introduced as a “new” profession in the early 1960s, yet the Office of Data Science Strategy at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was not established until 2018. Artificial intelligence (AI) traces its roots to at least the 1950s, with its first application as an expert system in medicine in the early 1970s. Yet, the NIH Working Group on AI was not established until 2018 as well, with their first report issued in 2019. This is not to say that these topics have been neglected over the past half-century, but it begs the question of why have they only now come to the forefront of biomedicine? We have seen multiple AI booms and busts, each of which has caused massive hype, dream crushing failures, and notable advancements (some more flashy than others) along the way. This talk is not intended to be a history lesson, but it will provide some context for how we got to where we are and what this says about where biomedical research and healthcare seems to be heading. I will further provide insight into how various innovations in computation, policy, and industry have pushed the field forward and where recently established programs to expand AI activities, such as AIM-AHEAD and Bridge2AI, may push the biomedical research community over the next decade. To ground this presentation, I will provide examples of how AI and data science more generally have driven activities at the All of Us Research Program and the Vanderbilt Health Data Science Center.

Short Bio: Bradley Malin is the Vice Chair for Research in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and is the Accenture Professor of Biomedical Informatics, Biostatistics, and Computer Science at Vanderbilt University. He founded and co-directs the Vanderbilt Health Data Science Center, as well as the Center for Genetic Privacy and Identity in Community Settings (GetPreCiSe), the latter of which is an NIH Center of Excellence in Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications Research. Since 2007, he has chaired the Committee on Access, Privacy, and Security (CAPS) for the NIH-sponsored All of Us Research Program and, in 2021, he became one of the founding PIs of the NIH Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Consortium to Advance Health Equity and Researcher Diversity (AIM-AHEAD). He serves on various governmental advisory bodies, including the Board of Scientific Counselors of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Medicine (CDC). He was honored as a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) and is an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine (NAM), the American College of Medical Informatics (ACMI), the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), and the International Academy of Health Sciences Informatics (IAHSI) .

Location:
Organized By: BioArtography

BioArtography will be in South University Booth SU1109 (Between E. Univ. and Church) the Ann Arbor Art Fair! 13 spectacular new images for 2022 will be making their debut!

Every day at the University of Michigan, scientists from many fields work together to study organism development, function and disease. While the goal of these studies is to design new and effective ways to treat disease and provide better understanding of ourselves as well as the world around us, many are also taking the time to share the beauty of their work with others through a program called BioArtography. In the course of research, scientists use special stains to add color to the otherwise transparent tissues. Microscopes then allow detailed observation of the tiny, colorful biological structures revealed in these images. This results in a fascinating combination of art and science that U-M researchers are capturing in pictures taken through microscopes and turning into artworks that would look beautiful on any wall.

The goal of these studies is to design new and effective ways to treat disease and provide better understanding of ourselves as well as the world that surrounds us. Proceeds from the sale of this work help support the training of our next generation of researchers. Past BioArtography sales have raised enough money to send more than 100 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to scientific conferences, where they can present their work to other scientists and make connections that can help them launch their careers in research and industry.

Throughout the year BioArtography images (a collection of over 250) can be viewed and ordered online at www.bioartography.com

BioArtography will be in South University Booth SU1109 (Between E. Univ. and Church) the Ann Arbor Art Fair! 13 spectacular new images for 2022 will be making their debut!

Every day at the University of Michigan, scientists from many fields work together to study organism development, function and disease. While the goal of these studies is to design new and effective ways to treat disease and provide better understanding of ourselves as well as the world around us, many are also taking the time to share the beauty of their work with others through a program called BioArtography. In the course of research, scientists use special stains to add color to the otherwise transparent tissues. Microscopes then allow detailed observation of the tiny, colorful biological structures revealed in these images. This results in a fascinating combination of art and science that U-M researchers are capturing in pictures taken through microscopes and turning into artworks that would look beautiful on any wall.

The goal of these studies is to design new and effective ways to treat disease and provide better understanding of ourselves as well as the world that surrounds us. Proceeds from the sale of this work help support the training of our next generation of researchers. Past BioArtography sales have raised enough money to send more than 100 graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to scientific conferences, where they can present their work to other scientists and make connections that can help them launch their careers in research and industry.

Throughout the year BioArtography images (a collection of over 250) can be viewed and ordered online at www.bioartography.com
