SUMMARY:Fall 2024 Seminar Series - Francisco Laurindo\, MD\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Francisco Laurindo\, MD\, PhD \n\n\n\n\nProfessor\, Heart Institute (Incor) & Director\, Vascular Biology Laboratory \n\n\nUniversity of São Paulo \n\n\nPresident\, Society for Redox Biology and Medicine \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResearch focus \n\n\nAn endoplasmic reticulum-centered model for redox-dependent intercellular communication \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFaculty hosts \n\n\nEdward Bahnson\, PhD and Sharon Campbell\, PhD \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore information on speaker  \nFrancisco Laurindo is pioneer in redox signaling and cardiovascular biology. He earned his medical degree from the University of São Paulo School of Medicine in 1978 and completed his residence training in internal medicine and cardiology at the University of São Paulo School of Medicine’s Heart Institute (Incor). He trained in physiology and pharmacology at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences under the mentorship of Robert Goldstein from 1984 to 1987. In 1992\, he returned to the University of São Paulo School of Medicine\, where he earned his PhD investigating the mechanisms of redox signaling in the vascular system under the supervision of Protásio da Luz. In 2001\, with da Luz\, Laurindo started the Vascular Biology Laboratory at the Heart Institute (Incor) and became its director in 2008. He investigates the mechanisms and regulatory processes underlying oxidant species production in vascular cells and tissues and their physiological implications for vessel remodeling in disease. His research group uncovered the shear stress-dependent generation of superoxide radical from the endothelium\, characterized the redox response to vascular injury\, and discovered how the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone protein\, disulfide isomerase\, interacts functionally and physically with oxidant-generating NADPH oxidase complexes. These findings have led to a better understanding of endoplasmic reticulum pathophysiology on NADPH oxidase function and how redox processes regulate cell migration and vascular remodeling.

SUMMARY:Spring 2025 Seminar Series – Sergiu Pasca\, MD
DESCRIPTION:Sergiu Pasca\, MD \n\n\n\n\nKenneth T. Norris\, Jr. Professor\, Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences \n\n\nStanford University \n\n\nResearch focus \n\n\nUnderstanding human brain assembly and the molecular mechanisms that lead to neuropsychiatric disease using neural organoids \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFaculty host \n\n\nGrégory Scherrer\, PharmD\, PhD \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore about the speaker  \nTrained as a physician in Romania\, Dr. Sergiu Pasca\, came for postdoctoral training at Stanford in 2009 where he developed some of the initial in vitro models of disease by deriving neurons from skin cells taken from patients with genetic brain disorders. His lab has afterwards introduced the use of instructive signals for reproducibly deriving self-organizing 3D cellular structures known as regionalized neural organoids or spheroids. To gain access to complex cellular interactions in the human brain\, his research group also pioneered a modular system to study human neural circuits in preparations named assembloids.

SUMMARY:Rising Stars Program Seminar - Kendall Lough\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Kendall Lough\, PhD \n\n\n\n\nCGIBD Postdoctoral Fellow \n\n\nDepartment of Pathology and Lab Medicine \n\n\nUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill \n\n\nTalk title \n\n\nExciting contact: gut-brain circuits in early physiology and behavior \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis seminar will be held virtually over Zoom. Link below \nhttps://zoom.us/j/95576307638?pwd=g5UvTCuaaaoFpfmMimAM3F4Jq4ZAWz.1 \nAbout the speaker  \nDr. Kendall Lough is a CGIBD Basic Science Fellow with a background in cell and developmental biology in various tissue systems\, including the embryonic epidermal\, oral\, and gastrointestinal epithelia. His research focuses on understanding how molecular pathways drive cell identity and behavior\, tissue morphogenesis\, and organ function. He has made research discoveries at the intersection of cell fate specification and epidermal differentiation\, the genetics of palate formation\, and the developmental origins of the gut-brain axis. Currently\, he seeks to define the mechanisms governing early gut-brain communication and its contribution to animal physiology and disease. He is particularly interested in the interface between sensory enteroendocrine cells and their neural or glial partners and defining the molecular and cellular mechanisms that coordinate communication between cells in the gut and brain. \nAbout the Rising Stars Program \nThe UNC SOM’s Rising Stars Program’s main goal is to broaden participation among faculty members in the basic sciences. This professional development workshop series provides training to postdoctoral fellows to help them excel during the faculty interview process by exposing admitted fellows to the same components that they will experience during the faculty job interview process. This includes mock job talks\, chalk talks\, and multiple one-on-one faculty interviews. Participants will also attend workshops on the faculty environment and negotiating hiring packages. This program is sponsored by the Vice Dean for Research at UNC SOM\, the Office of Faculty Affairs and Leadership Development\, and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Gilliam Awards. \nPlease note\, applications to the Rising Stars Program are neither an application for employment at UNC nor an interview for a faculty position.

SUMMARY:Spring 2025 Seminar Series – I. Robert Nabi\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:I. Robert Nabi\, PhD \n\n\n\n\nProfessor \n\n\nCellular & Physiological Sciences \n\n\nThe University of British Columbia \n\n\n  \n\n\nTalk Title \n\n\nNanoscopy powered by machine learning: novel insight into subcellular structure \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the speaker  \nDr. Ivan Robert Nabi earned his PhD in cancer metastasis from the Weizman Institute of Science. He is currently a professor in cellular and physiological sciences at The University of British Columbia. His research team investigates the cell biology of cancer. The expression of cellular domains\, ranging from cell polarity to organelle biogenesis to membrane microdomain organization\, play important roles in cell function. Dr. Nabi’s research team has elucidated the significance of various cellular domains in receptor function and cell motility. Some of their key discoveries include developing network analysis of dSTORM super-resolution microscopy to define the molecular architecture of caveolae and scaffolds and defining the role of Gp78 (also known as autocrine motility factor receptor (AMFR))\, a cancer-associated receptor and E3 ubiquitin ligase in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) associated degradation\, in ER-mitochondria interaction and mitophagy.
