SUMMARY:Center for Neuroregeneration Lecture Series: Cell and Molecular Events Leading to Age-Related Neurodegenerative Disease with Fred H. Gage\, PhD\, The Salk Institute
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the Center for Neuroregeneration Lecture Series: Cell and Molecular Events Leading to Age-Related Neurodegenerative Disease with Fred H. Gage\, PhD\, The Salk Institute.Age is the greatest risk for age-related neurodegenerative disease. In Cell and Molecular Events Leading to Age-Related Neurodegenerative Disease\, Fred H. (Rusty) Gage will discuss his team’s work using direct conversion of primarily sporadic Alzheimer’s disease patient fibroblasts into induced neurons (iNs) to generate an age-equivalent neuronal model. Patient-derived iNs exhibit strong Alzheimer’s disease-specific transcriptome neuronal signatures characterized by down-regulation of mature functional and morphological properties and up-regulation of immature neuronal and neural stem cell-associated pathways.\n\n\n\nClick Here for More InformationWhen: October 17\, 2023\, from 9-10:30 am (CDT)Where:  Houston Methodist Research Institute\, RI Auditorium             6670 Bertner Avenue\, Houston\, TX\n\n\n\nContact: Dee Lofton\, dloftin@houstonmethodist.org

SUMMARY:GCC US Visa and Immigration Seminar for International Postdocs and Researchers Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by the GCC Cancer Therapeutics Training Program. Presented by Brendan Delaney\, Frank & Delaney Immigration Law\, LLC\, and Qiang Hao\, Hao Law\, PC. During this seminar\, you will learn how to successfully pursue your US Visa and Immigration during your postdoc training. It will include but not be limited to self-sponsored J-1 visas (including J1 waivers)\, F1(OPT)\, H-1B/O-1/TN\, and green card. It will also cover what to do before or after your postdoc as you move through your career transition. Speakers will discuss the type of issues that the postdocs face in terms of visa transition and how you can build a CV/Resume for purposes of a self-sponsored application to continue your career development and/or transition to an employment position. They will also review the recent guidance that was published relating to STEM\, how this affects certain visa applications\, and introduce their cases on how to work with visa and immigration lawyers. The webinar will leave you with some practical information and allow some time for general questions. Register below to receive the Zoom webinar link.

We will cover machine learning methods and best practices that can be flexibly used to address a wide array of drug discovery and biomedical applications. We will additionally cover the computational resources\, including physical infrastructure and software\, that can enable drug discovery researchers with limited coding expertise to implement machine learning analysis. This workshop will conclude with live demonstrations and discussion between computational drug discovery experts and the audience. We encourage attendees to bring a laptop and follow along.
