Happening @ Michigan https://events.umich.edu/list/rss RSS Feed for Happening @ Michigan Events at the University of Michigan. Distinguished University Professor Lecture, Presented by Dr. Gordon L. Amidon (November 14, 2018 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57490 57490-14202428@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, November 14, 2018 4:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: U-M College of Pharmacy

Does the much-maligned carbon dioxide, a driving force behind global warming, deserve its bad rap?

In his upcoming Distinguished University Professor lecture, Gordon L. Amidon, PhD’71, will explore carbon dioxide from many angles, “the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.”

The talk will take place at 4 p.m. on November 14 in the Rackham Amphitheatre. The lecture and reception that follows are free and open to the public.

Prof. Gordon L. Amidon is the William I. Higuchi Distinguished University Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences. His research aims to understand the gastrointestinal factors that control drug absorption from an oral drug product.

“I will present a modest attempt to resurrect the image of carbon dioxide,” explains Amidon. “While global warming and the role that atmospheric gases play in the ‘green house’ effect has received considerable attention in the scientific and public press, I will point to the more positive role of carbon dioxide in evolution and in biology.”

Distinguished University Professorships recognize exceptional scholarly and/or creative achievements, national and international reputation, superior teaching and mentoring, and an impressive record of service. Each Professor delivers a lecture of their choosing during this event.

Patient-Centered Precision Health In A Learning Health Care System: Geisinger’s Genomic Medicine Experience (November 29, 2018 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/57086 57086-14086229@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 29, 2018 12:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Department of Learning Health Sciences

Medicine in the 21st century is being increasingly influenced by two concepts: Precision Medicine and the Learning Healthcare System. To broadly realize the promise of precision medicine (and health), it is necessary to use frameworks of implementation science grounded in the philosophy of the learning healthcare system to achieve robust implementation and value. This presentation will describe the implementation of a precision health program in an integrated healthcare delivery system aspiring to become a learning healthcare system. It will include early outcomes for the CDC Tier 1 genomic medicine conditions that identify significant care gaps and opportunities for improvement.

Ethics for a Learning Health Care System: The “Common Purpose” Framework (February 12, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59180 59180-14694666@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 12, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Department of Learning Health Sciences

There is increased interest among health care institutions to transitioning to become learning health systems. In this process, however, there are increased practical and moral challenges from using the traditional definitions of “research” vs “practice” to determine which activities within such systems require IRB review and other ethics oversight, and which do not. As health systems more deliberately integrate care delivery with ongoing data collection, a set of ethics commitments for this integrated approach must be articulated. This presentation will provide an example of an ethics framework for learning health care and underscore how also being guided by commitments to transparency, engagement, and accountability around the ongoing learning are also essential, ethically.

The LHS Collaboratory is co-sponsored by the Department of Learning Health Sciences, the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation and the Office of Research at the University of Michigan.

Minoli Perera, Northwestern University - “African Ancestry Pharmaco(genomics) Omics.” (February 13, 2019 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60993 60993-15000020@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 13, 2019 4:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Biomedical Engineering

In observance of Black History Month, Precision Health at U-M is pleased to welcome Minoli
Perera, PharmD, PhD, an Associate Professor of Pharmacology at Northwestern University, as a
featured speaker in its Seminar Series. On February 13 at 4pm, Perera will present on “African Ancestry Pharmacogenomics Omics.”
Initially interested in researching the clinical translation of pharmacogenetic findings, Perera realized that African Americans are often excluded from these studies. The predictive genomic biomarkers used to guide drug therapy are based on studies of populations of European descent, so the findings are uninformative for other populations. “Practically, this means we are using the wrong genetic information in African-Americans to guide their therapy,” Perera states in a profile on Northwestern’s website. Perera, who spoke at the Precision Medicine World Conference in Ann Arbor in June, has been funded by both the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and American Heart Association to investigate genetic variants associated with warfarin dose response. She has also received a $7.5 million Research Project Grant (R01) from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) to investigate genetic variation in drug-metabolizing enzymes in African Americans. Perera is currently Principal Investigator for one of five Transdisciplinary Collaborative Centers funded through the NIMHD. Dubbed
ACCOuNT (African American pharmacogenomic Cardiovascular
CONsorTium), it will work to accelerate the discovery and translation of pharmacogenomic findings in African-ancestry populations. “The work that we do is scientifically interesting and important, but it also carries a social justice mission,” says Perera in her profile. “I hope this work will become an avenue to bring more diversity into academia and science research in general.”

Dissonance Event Series: Genetics & Medical Apps: Ethics, Privacy, Law and Policy (February 25, 2019 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/60952 60952-14990967@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, February 25, 2019 6:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Information Assurance

Each new genetic test or medical app generates or collects more and more detailed health data, but may also raise serious issues for medicine, public health. Under what circumstances should a test be used, and how should it be implemented? Should people be allowed to choose or refuse a test, or should it be mandatory, as newborn screening is in some states? How should the data from these tests be used, and should individuals control access to the results of their tests? If test results are released to third parties, such as employers or insurers, what protections should be in place to protect individuals from unfair treatment based on test results, data collected, or genotype?

This Dissonance series event will take a multi-disciplinary look at these issues from a variety of theoretical and applied perspectives.

Panelists will include:
- Lori Andrews, Professor of Law and Director of the Institute for Science, Law and, Technology at Chicago Kent Law School

- Jodyn Platt, Assistant Professor, U-M Medical School

- Kayte Spector-Bagdady, Assistant Professor, U-M Medical School, Chief of the Research Ethics Service in the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine (CBSSM)

Today’s health system fails to deliver the best possible outcomes. Research takes too long and costs too much, and opportunities to engage the participation and contribution by patients and families are not yet common. What if we could create a better care system by harnessing inherent motivation and collective intelligence of patients, clinicians and researchers? In every part of our lives, networks are having a profound effect. How could networked organizations accelerate progress towards Learning Health Systems? This talk will describe how several large-scale learning health system networks are eliminating the artificial barriers between clinical care, improvement and research while engaging all stakeholders as part of a single health system. The result is faster learning and better outcomes for large populations of patients.

The LHS Collaboratory is co-sponsored by the Department of Learning Health Sciences, the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation and the Office of Research at the University of Michigan.

Location: Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building
Organized By: Center for RNA Biomedicine

Abstract: RNA regulation permeates neurobiology. Nociceptors are sensory neurons tasked with the detection of pain producing stimuli. Persistent changes in their activity, termed plasticity, benefit survival through injury avoidance. Nociceptors rely on cap-dependent translation to rapidly increase protein synthesis in response to pro-inflammatory signals. Comparatively little is known regarding the role of the regulatory factors bound to the 3' end of mRNA in nociceptor sensitization. Poly(A)-binding protein (PABP) stimulates translation initiation by bridging the Poly(A) tail to the eukaryotic initiation factor 4F complex associated with the mRNA cap. We have developed an RNA-based competitive inhibitor of PABP that attenuates behavioral responses to pain in mice. To identify the Poly(A) mRNAs subject to privileged translation in response to noxious cues, we have applied ribosome profiling to primary sensory neurons and tissues. A small number of transcripts are selectively translated in response to plasticity mediators. Among them is the capsid forming protein Arc. Arc has been implicated in synaptic plasticity and learning in the brain. We demonstrate that the ribosomal S6 kinase 1 is responsible for Arc production in nociceptors and describe a new role for local translation of Arc in afferent fibers. Collectively, our findings uncover mechanisms and targets of RNA control in sensory neurons that can be exploited to disrupt pain signaling.
