SUMMARY:Introduction to Clinical Research Boot Camp
DESCRIPTION:Entering a new\, complex field like clinical research can be overwhelming. The ITHS Introduction to Clinical Research Boot Camp is an annual\, 2-day introductory workshop for faculty\, staff\, and post-doctoral fellows to learn all that is involved in designing and managing a clinical trial. \nOver two days\, staff and faculty enjoy joint and separate sessions which cover role-specific overviews of the clinical research process. Through this comprehensive workshop\, we hope to provide new investigators with a 10\,000 foot view of the many components involved in the successful conduct of research. \n“These sessions give faculty and research staff a taste of what is needed to conduct clinical and translational research\,” says Dr. Paul Martin\, ITHS Co-Principal Investigator\, “we hope new researchers will come back hungry for more.” With a high-level understanding\, researchers can match their interests and skills to determine into which topics they want to dive deeper. \nSession content ranges from budgeting and compliance\, to team development\, ethical considerations\, and protocol design. Review the 2018 agendas for a closer look › \nITHS offers a range of trainings and support to aid investigators and teams throughout all phases of research. Through robust career development opportunities\, active research networks\, and cultivating multi-disciplinary research partnerships\, ITHS guides investigators throughout their careers in translational research. Whatever piques your interest during these two days\, an ITHS partnership can get you to the next step. \nDetails\n\n\nDate: July 30-31\, 2019\nTime: 8:00 am – 4:30 pm\nLocation: Husky Union Building (HUB) Lyceum\nCost: $100 for faculty and $50 for staff\nParticipation: this workshop is offered for in-person attendance only. This year ITHS is excited to offer a limited number of $500 travel awards for eligible regional participants. We will announce the application process for this funding with registration.\nRegistration: space is limited\, sign up through the form below to be notified when registration opens

SUMMARY:Why Do Humans Have Fewer Genes Than Corn?
DESCRIPTION:The UW Department of Genome Sciences played an important role in determining the sequence of the 3 billion letters of DNA specifying all of our hereditary information and is now one of the leading centers where the human genome is being interpreted and where new technologies for this analysis are being developed. \nTo share these advances with the public the Department of Genome Sciences hosts a ‘Wednesday Evenings at the Genome’ public lecture series each summer. These exciting discussions assume no background knowledge in genetics or other biological subjects and provide opportunities to chat with our presenters. Admission is free. \nPresentations begin at 7:00 pm in Foege Auditorium and will be followed by refreshments at 8:00 pm just outside the auditorium. \n\n\n\nAlan Herr\n“An n of 1: Navigating lung cancer as a patient and a scientist” \nJuly 10\n\n\n\nTrisha Davis\n“Ensuring an Equal Genetic Inheritance: A tale of yeast\, lasers\, and the effort to rebuild one of nature’s most complex molecular machines” \nJuly 17\n\n\n\nHeather Mefford\n“Understanding the genetics of epilepsy” \nJuly 24\n\n\n\nRob Bradley\n“Why do humans have fewer genes than corn?” \nJuly 31\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Medical Angels
DESCRIPTION:Two HIV activists who took part in an early gene therapy trial to cure or control HIV and the scientist who led that research will be talking about their experiences which helped usher in a new scientific era at “Medical Angels”\, a free community forum led by people living with HIV on Wednesday\, August 21 at 7PM at the Central Branch of the Seattle Public Library. \n“If we’re going to cure HIV\,” said Matt Chappell\, one of the two men in a trial to have his immune cells edited to make them resistant to HIV\, “this is how it’s going to happen.” \nIn 2014\, scientists removed some of his blood cells\, disabled a gene to help them resist HIV\, and returned these “edited” cells to him. While this procedure did not cure Chappell\, it did allow his body to suppress the virus without medications. \n“I’ve been off medications now for five years\,” he said. \nChappell’s case is rare. Most people in these early experiments still needed medicines to keep HIV suppressed. But even some of these people saw dramatic improvements. \nMatt Sharp\, a veteran of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power\, or ACT UP\, was diagnosed with HIV in 1988. While taking HIV medicines\, Sharp never saw his T cell count rise\, despite fully suppressing the virus in his blood. \nBut after a single infusion of his own edited cells during the trial\, Sharp saw his count jump to normal\, healthy levels. Gene therapy brought long-term improvements to his immune-system health. Sharp thinks participation in the study was worth it\, but he still takes daily pills to keep the virus under control. \nThese two men and the researcher who led these gene editing experiments will answer audience questions about these unique results during a public forum on August 21 hosted by members of the defeatHIV Community Advisory Board. \n= = = \nThe defeatHIV Community Advisory Board’s mission is to serve as a communication link and mobilize HIV cure researchers\, their institutions and our communities to work together to cure HIV\, ensuring that input from people living with HIV is accounted for in cure-related research of defeatHIV. \nAs a part of Fred Hutch\, defeatHIV is an NIH-funded Martin Delaney Collaboratory working at the forefront of cell and gene therapy research to develop curative therapies for HIV.

SUMMARY:Medical Angels
DESCRIPTION:Two HIV activists who took part in an early gene therapy trial to cure or control HIV and the scientist who led that research will be talking about their experiences which helped usher in a new scientific era at “Medical Angels”\, a free community forum led by people living with HIV on Wednesday\, August 21 at 7PM at the Central Branch of the Seattle Public Library. \n“If we’re going to cure HIV\,” said Matt Chappell\, one of the two men in a trial to have his immune cells edited to make them resistant to HIV\, “this is how it’s going to happen.” \nIn 2014\, scientists removed some of his blood cells\, disabled a gene to help them resist HIV\, and returned these “edited” cells to him. While this procedure did not cure Chappell\, it did allow his body to suppress the virus without medications. \n“I’ve been off medications now for five years\,” he said. \nChappell’s case is rare. Most people in these early experiments still needed medicines to keep HIV suppressed. But even some of these people saw dramatic improvements. \nMatt Sharp\, a veteran of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power\, or ACT UP\, was diagnosed with HIV in 1988. While taking HIV medicines\, Sharp never saw his T cell count rise\, despite fully suppressing the virus in his blood. \nBut after a single infusion of his own edited cells during the trial\, Sharp saw his count jump to normal\, healthy levels.

SUMMARY:Conference on Cell & Gene Therapy for HIV Cure
DESCRIPTION:The defeatHIV Martin Delaney Collaboratory\, in collaboration with the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center\, the University of Washington Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) and the University of Washington Virology Division\, are pleased to host the 5thConference on Cell & Gene Therapy for HIV Cure in Seattle\, Washington on August 22-23\, 2019. The event will be held at the Marriott Residence Inn Seattle Downtown/Convention Center. \nBorn out of the desire to bring much needed attention to HIV cell and gene therapies\, this conference aims to advance the pursuit of an HIV cure by bringing together an international roster of esteemed scientists to share and review the latest cell and gene therapy approaches targeting HIV. \nWe look forward to building on the success of the first four conferences\, held annually from 2014-2017\, and invite HIV and cell and gene therapy researchers\, clinicians\, young investigators and trainees including pre- and post-doctoral fellows\, to participate. Scholarships are available to trainees. We also continue to partner with community advocates\, including HIV community advisory board (CAB) members\, and are pleased to offer a limited number of community scholarships and volunteer opportunities. \nEnding HIV/AIDS will take a multi-platform approach. It will require prevention\, development of a vaccine\, and curative therapies. As such\, defeatHIV looks forward to hosting this international gathering in 2019 designed to foster scientific collegiality and to continue to build the important scientific collaborations and community relationships that are critical to solving one of the greatest puzzles of global health in human history.
