Mobilizing Biomedical Computable Knowledge (January 15, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/58944 58944-14601181@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 15, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Department of Learning Health Sciences

We stand on the brink of the new knowledge revolution.

As the quantity of knowledge has exploded exponentially, the current means for representing knowledge—words and pictures that must be interpreted by humans—have reached their limits. Our ability to use the ever-growing body of scientific, biomedical knowledge rests on efforts to transform how knowledge is expressed into abstract models that can inform action through computation.

This persistent computable knowledge is the “Keystone” that holds the Learning Cycle Together. At the LHS Collaboratory Seminar Series event on Tuesday, January 15, learn about the movement underway to promote the advancement of computable biomedical knowledge. Join Rachel Richesson, PhD, MPH, from Duke University, along with colleagues from the University of Michigan to hear more about the movement and ways to join the community!

Linking a dose-response model to observed infection to describe spatial-temporal patterns in a Q fever outbreak (January 22, 2019 1:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59717 59717-14780104@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, January 22, 2019 1:00pm
Location: Public Health I (Vaughan Building)
Organized By: Center for Midlife Science

Abstract: We explore a Netherlands outbreak of Q fever in 2009 by combining a human dose–response model with geostatistics to predict local probability of infection, associated probability of illness, and local effective exposures to Coxiella burnetii. We begin with the spatial distribution of 220 notified cases in the at–risk population. Next, we use the dose-response relationship (established via historical experiments) to convert the observed risk map into an estimated smooth spatial field of local dose. Based on the observed symptomatic cases, the dose–response model predicts a median of 611 asymptomatic infections (95% range 410 to 1,084), i.e., 2.78 (95% range 1.86 to 4.93) asymptomatic infections for each reported case. The estimated peak levels of exposure extend to the north–east from the point source with an increasing proportion of asymptomatic infections further from the source. Our work combines established methodology from model-based geostatistics and dose-response modeling providing a novel approach to study outbreaks. Such predictions (and associated uncertainties) are important for targeting interventions during an outbreak, estimating future disease burden, and planning public health response.

Joint work with R. John Brooke, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis TN; Peter FM Teunis, Centre for Infectious Disease Control, RIVM, Bilthoven, the Netherlands; Mirjam EE Kretzschmar, Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University Medical Center Utrecht, the Netherlands.

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.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Precision Health

In recognition of Black History Month, Precision Health at the University of Michigan (U-M) invites you to attend a seminar, Wednesday, February 13, to hear guest presenter Minoli Perera, PharmD, PhD, Associate Professor of Pharmacology at Northwestern University, speak on "African Ancestry Omics."

The event, free and open to the public, will include a presentation with time allocated for discussion. Registration [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/u-m-precision-health-seminar-february-2019-tickets-54719867597] is requested by Monday, February 11 (or will close when full).

Abstract:

Racial minorities have been consistently excluded from most genomic studies, and their data compose only a small fraction of what is publicly available. These studies and data, however, are key to the translations and implementation of precision medicine. To address this growing health disparity in precision medicine, we use not only genomics, but also other high-complexity datasets (e.g., transcriptomics) to discover the genomic predictors of drug responses, as well as the biological underpinnings that drive genetic associations. Our work finds important associations of African-American–specific SNPs in pharmacogenomics, and also novel genes that contribute to drug response, disease, and adverse events. These types of studies shed light on the unique contributions the African-American genome can make to precision medicine and the critical need for greater diversity in genomic medicine.

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)

Can in vitro and ex vivo data be used to identify biomarkers for drug sensitivity?--Precision Health March Seminar (March 13, 2019 5:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/61396 61396-15097068@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, March 13, 2019 5:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Precision Health

Precision Health at the University of Michigan (U-M) invites you to a seminar on Wednesday, March 13, to hear speaker Matt Soellner, PhD, Research Assistant Professor in U-M's Department of Internal Medicine, present "Can in vitro and ex vivo data be used to identify biomarkers for drug sensitivity?"

The seminar will include Zingerman's refreshments and a Q&A session after the presentation. Registration will close when full.

Abstract:
In this presentation, I will discuss our ongoing efforts to identify biomarkers for drug efficacy in a panel of putative drugs for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). We are currently testing and refining biomarkers in TNBC for drug efficacy using a panel of ~400 investigational drugs and further, using the discovered biomarkers to identify optimal drug combinations. Our central hypothesis is that biomarkers of drug efficacy in TNBC can be leveraged to identify optimal drug combinations for synergy in preclinical models of TNBC.



The Precision Health Seminar Series invites expert speakers to share meaningful, relevant, and late-breaking research on varied aspects of precision health. The interdisciplinary educational series, which takes place monthly during the academic year, features topics ranging from genetics to big data to health implementation (and much more) and is open to students, faculty, practitioners, staff, trainees, and the general public. Our goal is to increase understanding of precision health data, tools, and applications, to engage the academic community to enhance precision health research, and to support the implementation of precision health to health systems.

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.

The trophoblast at the feto-maternal interface fulfills functions that are critical for embryonic development, including gas exchange, supply of nutrients, removal of waste products, endocrine regulation, and immunological defense. In his lab, Dr. Sadovsky utilizes molecular and cellular approaches to decipher mechanisms underlying placental development, differentiation, and response to injury. Using cultured primary human placental cells, genetically-altered mice, and placental samples from human pregnancies, his lab examines molecular mechanisms underlying trophoblast response to diverse stressors that adversely influence the homeostatic balance between cell injury and adaptation. Dr. Sadovsky’s research assesses how these stressors contribute to placental dysfunction and fetal growth restriction (FGR), which predispose to childhood neurodevelopmental dysfunction and adult metabolic syndrome.

Precision Health at the University of Michigan (U-M) invites you to hear a presentation by Helen Kales, MD, on Thursday, April 4. Kales, a professor in U-M's Department of Psychiatry and Director of the Program for Positive Aging, will present "Using precision health to move the dementia care paradigm from sedation to person-centeredness." There will be time allotted for discussion after the presentation. Registration will close when full.

Abstract:
There are currently over 5 million people with dementia in the US and over 15 million family caregivers providing them care. While memory problems are the hallmark of dementia, the most problematic symptoms associated with the illness are behavioral and psychological. These include depression, anxiety, agitation, psychosis, aggression, wandering, sexually inappropriate behaviors, and many others. While multiple expert bodies endorse the use of behavioral and environmental strategies for these behaviors first line, the current treatment paradigm is largely one of knee-jerk sedation using psychotropics off-label. This is neither personalized nor precise. Kales will describe the creation and application of the DICE Approach to assessing and managing dementia behaviors as well as a web-based application of DICE called “The WeCareAdvisor.”

Bio:
Helen Kales, MD, is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan and a Research Investigator in the Center for Clinical Management Research (CCMR) and the Geriatric Research Education and Clinical Center (GRECC) in the VA Ann Arbor Health System. She is a fellowship-trained, board-certified geriatric psychiatrist, and her research program is directly informed by her clinical work and experiences with patients, families, providers, and systems to diminish the barriers to effective and high-quality care for older patients with mental health issues or dementia. Kales has published over 120 peer-reviewed papers, and her research has been continuously federally funded since 2004. In July 2019, Kales will become the Chair of Psychiatry and Joe Tupin Endowed Professor at the University of California, Davis, where she plans to establish a center on positive aging.

This workshop will detail the research of Dr. Carol Dweck and her groundbreaking work on the concept of mindset. Students will learn how to abandon a debilitating fixed mindset in favor of a growth mindset, leading to success in areas they once considered too difficult. The workshop will also introduce students to the research of Dr. Angela Duckworth, and how a growth mindset can lead to the development of grit, an essential characteristic to overcoming our fear of failure.

The study and learning strategies students often bring to college are often insufficient to help them succeed at the university level. Particularly in challenging STEM courses, students can't simply memorize or cram their way to a good grade. This workshop will focus on the popular learning strategies to avoid, as well as the top three strategies you don't know but are shown by research to be the most effective for long-term learning.

Organized By: Center for Midlife Science

A pre-eminent scholar, Dr. King leads studies to understand the genetic causes of serious human disorders including breast and ovarian cancer and schizophrenia. Her work focuses on disentangling genetic heterogeneity in complex traits, and on discovering rare alleles that cause common disorders. From her ground-breaking doctoral dissertation that transformed evolutionary biology to her formative work proving the existence of a major gene for a complex trait that demonstrated the genetic inheritance of breast cancer, Dr. King has contributed significantly to the advancement of scientific knowledge of genetics. Most recently, her laboratory developed and patented a targeted capture and massively parallel sequencing approach (BROCA) that detects mutations in breast and ovarian cancer genes.

A leading human rights advocate, Dr. King pioneered the development of genomics tools for human rights investigations including use of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequencing to match kidnapped children to possible maternal relatives after the end of Argentinian dictatorship of 1975-1983. Her approach is now used by governmental and United Nations forensic teams worldwide to identify remains of victims of extra-judicial execution and missing soldiers.

Dr. King received her PhD in Genetics from the University of California at Berkeley, and her postdoctoral training at UC San Francisco. A professor at UC Berkeley from 1976-1995, she has been the American Cancer Society Professor of Medical Genetics and Genome Sciences at the University of Washington since 1995. She is a member of the National Academy of Medicine (1994), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1999), and the National Academy of Sciences (2005) and is a past President of the American Society of Human Genetics. Among her many honors, she was awarded the Lasker-Koshland Special Achievement Award in Medical Science (2014), the National Medal of Science (2016) and the Advocacy Award of the American Society of Human Genetics (2018).
A reception, sponsored by UM Precision Health, will immediately follow the lecture.

More than any other advancement that has emerged in the past four decades, mobile technology has the potential to address the dual problems of limited clinical capacity and inadequate and untimely data in mental health care. As part of Precision Health at the University of Michigan, this project will test wearable and mobile technology as a means to reduce mental health symptoms among patients waiting for mental health care. Furthermore, data derived from mobile technology, genomics, and patient reports will be used to predict response to clinic-based treatments.

Location: Mason Hall
Organized By: Pre-Med Hub

Calling all pre-meds: wondering how to find and contact University of Michigan physicians and professors that would allow you to research or shadow with them? Meet us Sunday, Oct 6 (5-7 PM) at Mason Hall Room 2448 for our Research and Resume Workshop, run by peer advisors of the organization Pre-Med Hub.

In this first workshop of the year, we will be covering how to write a basic cover letter to introduce yourself to faculty conducting research or clinical practice that you may be interested in working with or shadowing. Shadowing is crucial before applying to medical school, and it can be difficult to find physicians that allow undergraduates to shadow. Research, although not required, is one of the most common pre-med extracurricular especially at such a big research university, and there are many different types of labs that you will be able to get involved with.

We hope to see you all at the workshop! To learn more about our organization, visit premedhubumich.edu and post on our open forum or email premedhub@umich.edu with questions or concerns.

These sessions provide an excellent opportunity to connect with professionals who may be able to provide valuable advice during your Michigan career.
