Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: The Molecular Stratagem of Glioblastoma
Glioblastomas (GBMs) remain one of the more aggressive cancers, with no change in standard of care for almost 20 years and median lifespan from time of diagnosis to death of about 15 months. This bleak outcome has stimulated ongoing efforts to reveal new insights into tumor components and to develop new strategies for keeping this tumor at bay. This Advanced Course will focus on recent technologies and findings that provide new ways of understanding and potentially treating this tumor.

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: QSP Industry & Academia Symposium to be held on 10/24/17 from 5 PM - 7:30 PM.
Quantitative Systems Pharmacology (QSP) is a mathematical modeling and engineering approach to translational medicine that aims to quantitatively integrate knowledge about therapeutics with an understanding of its mechanism of action in the context of human disease mechanisms. QSP approaches de-risk projects, accelerate the development of best in class therapeutics, and reduce late stage attrition rates. This results in helping industry save money, accelerate timelines, and make better therapeutics, ultimately improving patients’ lives.
The QSP Industry & Academia Symposium is a seminar series for presenting, learning and discussing topics relevant to QSP. The goal of the event is to foster an active community of industry and academia participants interested in this topic and create a forum for sharing successes and challenges.
Please remember to bring a government-issued photo ID for check in.

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Echocardiography in Pediatric and Adult Congenital Heart Disease Symposium to be held on 10/08/17 - 10/11/17.
The 33rd Annual Echocardiography in Pediatric and Adult Congenital Heart Disease Symposium returns to the Rochester, MN campus of the Mayo Clinic and will highlight the use of echocardiography and other cardiac imaging techniques to recognize, understand, and manage patients with congenital heart disease using a case based format. This four-day symposium is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy, clinical aspects, imaging, and management of patients with congenital heart disease. The symposium will include case discussions, didactic seminars, anatomic and imaging correlations, discussion of multimodal imaging and live, hands-on scanning seminars to illustrate the impact of cardiac imaging on treatment, diagnosis, and management of patients with congenital heart disease.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
- Describe the anatomy and physiology of common congenital cardiac conditions as well as the surgical/interventional procedures used to treat them
- Interpret 2-D echo/Doppler hemodynamics in the setting of congenital heart disease
- Recognize limitations of echocardiography and other imaging techniques
- Integrate the most up-to-date echocardiographic and multimodality imaging techniques into patient management
INTENDED AUDIENCE:
This course is designed for pediatric and adult cardiologists, surgeons, fellows in training, and cardiac sonographers. The emphasis is on echocardiography. Participants should have a good working knowledge of echocardiography.

Spotlight on Science Meetings, Conferences and Events brings you information on the following: Keystone Symposia: Maternal-Fetal Crosstalk – Harmony vs. Conflict to be held on 10/04/17-10/08/17.
The interactions between the mother and the fetus during the progression of normal pregnancy involve trade-offs, or even conflicts, between factors that improve maternal health and those that support fetal development and growth. These may lead to selective evolutionary pressures that differ among species, and result in intriguing differences in reproductive strategies that enhance maternal-fetal biological harmony, and mitigate conflict. Intriguing strategies to balance these pressures include imprinting, coincident with placentation. Adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as miscarriage, preterm birth, preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction, are heterogeneous, and gaps remain in understanding how imbalances between maternal and fetal adaptations contribute to these disorders. The goal of this meeting is to bring together investigators from diverse disciplines who investigate maternal and fetal factors that shape pregnancy outcomes by exploring how these systems work together or are at odds. The conference will aim to develop these concepts, illuminating developmental, genomic/epigenomic, immune, microbial and metabolic factors as well as consider how acute exposures during pregnancy, such as infection, shape maternal-fetal outcomes. Understanding the biology underpinning these considerations will contribute to better diagnosis, treatment and disease prevention during pregnancy. The presentations will address critical gaps in our knowledge of maternal/fetal harmony and conflict, and target paths to improve understanding of issues related to social, economic and geographic inequality that predispose some groups to enhanced risk during pregnancy. A better understanding of the biology, and development of new collaborative possibilities and paths to improved clinical outcomes, are primary goals of the meeting.
