Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Workshop on Phenotyping Mouse Models of Human Lung Disease to be held on 10/09/17 - 10/13/17.
This is a unique didactic/hands-on workshop that provides a comprehensive overview of respiratory biology and, in particular, the use of mice as model systems of human lung diseases. The objectives of the workshop include reviews of basic lung biology, structure-function issues surrounding respiratory mechanics, immune responses linked with the pulmonary compartments as well as the lung microenvironment, and the techniques/strategies for reproducible measurements of lung function in mice. Laboratory-based exercises will provide participants with hands-on experience measuring airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR), lung volumes and pressure-volume (PV) curves, lung morphometry, sampling techniques and mouse lung histopathology. In addition, the course will review basic mouse genetics, housing and breeding strategies, and survival surgical techniques. The course faculty is comprised of prominent members of the research community who are supported by a core group of research scientists providing insights into cutting edge technologies and experimental strategies.
Part of this workshop includes pathology sessions. If you have any FIXED slides you would like to have analyzed by the workshop pathologist, please bring them with you. Additionally, if you have any interesting FIXED slides you would like to share with the group, please bring these as well. IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT BRING FRESH TISSUE TO THE JACKSON LABORATORY!
Participants completing this workshop will have a working knowledge of basic pulmonary biology and the pathophysiology/histopathology accompanying lung diseases. More importantly, participants will gain the needed exposure to laboratory-based techniques for quantifying pulmonary structure, immunobiology, and lung function – all key endpoint metrics needed to utilize mice as model systems of human respiratory diseases.

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Festival of Genomics Boston to be held on 10/03/17-10/04/17.
Since 2003, the Prevent Cancer Foundation® has convened a series of annual workshops focused on high-resolution CT imaging data for lung cancer, COPD and cardiovascular disease. The workshop provides a forum to exchange ideas on quantitative CT imaging for early disease management, as well as on policy and advocacy for responsible lung cancer, COPD and cardiovascular screening. The workshop emphasizes quality and consistency in screening.
As our Flagship event, The Festival of Genomics Boston provides a unique opportunity to meet with the whole of the genomics community, in an environment carefully constructed to facilitated networking, learning and business growth.
Features:
Horizon Stages 1 & 2
Broaden your view with our series of 20 minute keynotes from those doing the most essential work in the field. Sessions have been curated around 4 themes; Personalizing Medicine, Enabling Data, Precision Therapeutics and Research & Development.
Prism Stage
See the light as we break the big themes down in these panel style sessions. Complex issues are channelled through the multiple perspectives and experiences of our panellists to help you illuminate the path forward.

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Genome Integrity Discussion Group to be held on 10/02/17.
The connection between cancer and genome integrity is widely appreciated. Importantly, the greater New York Metropolitan area is unparalleled in the concentration of world leading research on chromosome biology and function, as well as for research at the interface between chromosome integrity and the dynamics of malignancy. The Genome Integrity Discussion Group capitalize on this concentration of excellence, providing a forum for interaction between basic- and clinically-oriented research groups working in these fields. These meetings not only facilitate synergy between labs, but also provide a context in which previously unappreciated complementarities can be revealed.
In that spirit, the talks will cover a broad range of areas, including, but not limited to the DNA damage response and cancer predisposition, DNA replication, transcription, chromatin modification, recombination, cell cycle control, telomeres, chromosome segregation, epigenetic states, as well as the emergence of new technologies relevant to research in genome integrity. Although a primary focus is upon basic mechanisms and processes, these areas are pertinent to cancer and myriad human disease states, and it is expected that this will be reflected in the substance of our discussions. At each of the meetings, two early career scientists (students or postdocs) are selected to present data.
