SUMMARY:UW Engage Science 2023
DESCRIPTION:UW Engage Science sees a future where every graduate student has access to science communication training\, and therefore good science communication becomes the norm. The outcome is an increased public trust and positive attitude toward science\, ultimately strengthening the connection between the public and scientists. Join us for a look at the forefront of research in our region and meet the students who are leading the latest wave of scientific discovery. \n\nKaylin Ellioff: Understanding the makeup of marijuana to better treat chronic pain \nChronic pain affects 1 in 5 people in the US and currently opioids are the main treatment for severe cases. There is potential for individuals to become tolerant to opioids as well as misuse them. Therefore\, alternative treatments are desperately needed. In Kaylin Ellioff’s research\, she is working to understand if and how different chemical components found in Cannabis\, otherwise known as marijuana\, can be used to treat chronic pain. Cannabis has been used for centuries to treat pain\, and by better understanding how each of the chemicals work in our body\, new pain treatments can be developed so that patients do not have to rely on daily doses of opioids or get high to experience pain relief. \nKaylin Ellioff is a Pharmacology graduate student at the University of Washington\, where she studies different chemicals found in cannabis and how they can be used to treat chronic pain. \nSamantha Borje: Using designer DNA to detect diseases \nWhen it comes to forming connections\, molecules generally look for the same things that many people do: a sense of stability and a certain degree of freedom. Whether a molecule can provide these for another molecule is often a complicated question because most molecules consist of many parts. DNA\, the central molecule of life\, is remarkably simple in that it consists of only four parts: A\, C\, G\, and T. The combination of these parts in a piece of DNA determines exactly whether\, how quickly\, and in what settings it can connect with another piece of DNA. We can take advantage of this predictability to design and carry out super-specific chain reactions made entirely of DNA pieces\, in a process known as DNA computing. \nSamantha Borje is a Molecular Engineering graduate student at the University of Washington\, where she works at the Seelig Lab and Molecular Information Systems Lab. Her research focuses on designing massive networks of DNA pieces. She aims to use these networks as diagnostic platforms\, where the DNA pieces would set off different chain reactions depending on whether or not a medical sample contains markers for disease. \nSonya Jampel: Public health prevention of air pollution exposure \nFine particulate matter – a primary contributor to air pollution – is so small that over twenty particles can fit across one human hair. When fine particulate matter is suspended in the atmosphere\, it can penetrate deep into your lungs and bloodstream. These small\, suspended particles including dust\, dirt\, or soot can lead to harmful health impacts such as heart attacks\, stroke\, respiratory illness\, and death. In January\, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed lowering standards to protect human health. Come learn about how science and policy work together to improve health! \nSonya Jampel (she/her) is a Master’s in Public Health Student in Epidemiology at the University of Washington. She uses large birth and death certificate datasets to analyze the relationship between air pollution and infant mortality in order to inform policy and prevention solutions.

DESCRIPTION:UW Engage Science sees a future where every graduate student has access to science communication training\, and therefore good science communication becomes the norm. The outcome is an increased public trust and positive attitude toward science\, ultimately strengthening the connection between the public and scientists. Join us for a look at the forefront of research in our region and meet the students who are leading the latest wave of scientific discovery. \n\nRory Mcguire: Automating science by putting the lab on a chip \nComputers used to be the size of rooms\, and now they fit in our pockets. Biology\, chemistry\, and medical research on the other hand still require big\, expensive lab spaces. But what if we could shrink the lab down to the size of a phone\, or maybe even smaller? Putting a lab onto a chip could make research more accessible to underfunded institutions\, cut the wait time between a doctor’s visit and getting a diagnosis\, and reduce hazardous biological and chemical waste\, among other benefits. Motivated by these possibilities\, Rory McGuire is developing a “lab-on-a-chip” that uses electrical signals to manipulate liquids and molecules on a palm-sized platform that can all be controlled from your laptop. \nRory Mcguire does research at the intersection of computation and biology. Sometimes this means using DNA as a hard drive to store digital data\, and sometimes this means using electronics to automate biological experiments. Rory has spent the last 2 years developing open-source hardware and software with the aim of making biology and chemistry research more accessible\, efficient\, and equitable. \nKeenan Ganz: Predicting where the next wildfire will burn \nRecent large forest fires in the American west have placed wildfire\, and its consequences\, in the public eye. For nearly a century\, forest managers have suppressed fire in naturally burning forests and used public awareness campaigns to portray wildfire as a destructive and wasteful force. But\, recent scientific work and recognition of Indigenous land practices point to the opposite interpretation: fire is crucial to keeping our forests healthy. Keenan’s work is about helping us live with fire. He studies how computer models can help us prepare for when the next fire will burn. \nKeenan Ganz is a graduate student in Remote Sensing at the University of Washington. He uses specialized cameras on satellites and drones to study forest health and wildfire. One day\, Keenan wants to build an improved forecasting system to understand when and where wildfire will burn next. \nRasika Venkataraman: How understanding the environment of cancer can help us treat it \nBlood cells develop and mature in a spongy environment within our bones called the bone marrow. The bone marrow and blood cells are in constant communication with each other making sure the ‘blood headquarters’ is functioning smoothly\, replenishing blood throughout life. A small population of humans is born with a mutation in a specific gene\, which puts them at risk of developing blood cancer later in life. A mutation is a change in our genes\, which are codes that tell our body to function a certain way. To understand how this mutation causes blood cancer\, we need to study its function in blood cells as well the bone marrow environment. This will shed light on potential disruptions in the communication between the blood cells and the bone marrow\, which could then be leveraged to improve blood cancer treatment in patients that have this specific mutation. \nRasika Venkataraman is a third-year graduate student at the University of Washington’s Department of Lab Medicine and Pathology. Her research focuses on studying a specific hereditary mutation in DNA that causes blood cancers. She aims to investigate how this mutation alters the environment in which the cancer cells develop and grow\, to improve the treatment of blood cancer.

SUMMARY:UW Engage Science 2023
DESCRIPTION:UW Engage Science sees a future where every graduate student has access to science communication training\, and therefore good science communication becomes the norm. The outcome is an increased public trust and positive attitude toward science\, ultimately strengthening the connection between the public and scientists. Join us for a look at the forefront of research in our region and meet the students who are leading the latest wave of scientific discovery. \n\nViolet Sorrentino: How tiny worms can help us understand the human brain \nThe human brain is a complex structure populated with hundreds of billions of cells. When something goes wrong and the brain gets sick\, how can we pinpoint which cells are having problems? That’s why some neuroscientists use tiny worms as a model. They have similar brain cells and molecules\, but everything is on a much smaller scale\, so we can take knowledge more easily gained from the worm brain and apply it to humans. Brain cells called glia eat small parts of other cells\, but eating too much or too little can cause diseases like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. If we use worms to better understand the eating process\, maybe we can develop treatments for these diseases. \nViolet Sorrentino is a cell biology graduate student at Fred Hutch\, where she uses microscopic worms to study communication between two types of brain cells. The conversation between these cells helps maintain a happy and healthy brain\, and she is working to define the molecular language these cells speak. \nTessa Code: The threat of artificial light to young salmon in Lake Washington \nJuvenile sockeye salmon are not surviving their early growth phase in Lake Washington. Their main fish predator has heightened hunting efficiency due to the artificial light around the lake which brightens the water column. Artificial light at night is increasing at a rapid pace\, brightening the sky more than ever before. Determining how salmon and their predators respond to the light levels in the lake would help Seattle and nearby cities to change lighting and help recover the salmon population. \nTessa Code is a graduate student at the University of Washington and she works as a technician for the US Geological Survey Western Fisheries Research Center. Her research uses hydro-acoustics and light sensors to study the effect of artificial light on fish predator-prey dynamics in waterbodies around Seattle.

SUMMARY:Biostatistics Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:The Fred Hutch Biostatistics Program hosts seminars featuring presentations by Fred Hutch and outside scientists to share their latest developments and recent research. Each seminar includes an hour-long presentation and discussion during which speakers showcase their work and findings. \n\n\n\nPresenter: Yimei Li\n\n\nPediatric cancer trials are often carried out after the adult trial has started and thus have unique features that require considerations for incorporating the adult information. In this talk\, I will introduce two innovative Bayesian adaptive designs we developed for early phase pediatric cancer trials. In the first example\, we propose PA-CRM\, a design for pediatric phase I dose-finding trial when a concurrent adult trial is being conducted. This design uses a discounted joint likelihood to automatically and adaptively incorporate data from the concurrent adult trial into the dose assignment decision in the ongoing pediatric trial. The simulation study demonstrates that PA-CRM leads to higher chance of selecting the correct dose for the pediatric patients. In the second example\, we propose BPED\, a design for pediatric phase II basket trial when external data (such as adult data) is available. This design performs dual information borrowing: borrow information from the external (adult) data to the pediatric trial and between the disease subtypes within the pediatric basket trial. It also accommodates potential heterogeneous treatment effect across disease subtypes\, by allowing each disease subtype belonging to the sensitive or insensitive latent subgroups. The simulation study shows that BPED yields high power to detect the treatment effect for the sensitive disease subtypes and maintains desirable type I error rate for the insensitive disease subtypes. Both designs illustrate the efficiency gain in the pediatric trial through systematic and rigorous integration of the adult data.

SUMMARY:Biostatistics Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:The Fred Hutch Biostatistics Program hosts seminars featuring presentations by Fred Hutch and outside scientists to share their latest developments and recent research. Each seminar includes an hour-long presentation and discussion during which speakers showcase their work and findings. \n\nPRESENTER: Guo-Cheng Yuan\n\nIn a higher-eukaryotes organism\, each organ contains multiple cell types in a highly organized manner. A fundamental biological question is how cells interact with each other to coordinate the function of the entire organ. The recent development of spatial transcriptomics technologies has provided an unprecedented opportunity to systematically investigate the structural organization at single-cell resolution\, yet it has also presented a number of new challenges for data analysis and interpretation. In the past few years\, our lab has developed a number of computational methods for cell-type deconvolution\, spatial domain identification\, and ligand-receptor analysis. We have further developed Giotto as a generally applicable\, comprehensive pipeline for spatial transcriptomics analysis. In this talk\, I will give an introduction to these tools.

SUMMARY:Frederick Appelbaum M.D. with Gabriel Spitzer: The Story of Bone Marrow Transplants
DESCRIPTION:It’s safe to say that Dr. E. Donnall Thomas stands as one of the most visionary minds to impact modern medicine. In 1990\, Dr. Thomas received the Nobel Prize for his research at the Fred Hutch Institute in Seattle\, with his central discovery that bone marrow transplants could be used to treat deadly illnesses like leukemia\, lymphoma\, and sickle-cell Anemia. Now\, almost a quarter of a century later\, Frederick Appelbaum M.D — a close friend and colleague of the late doctor — is setting out to tell Thomas’s story with the detail and devotion that it deserves. \nIn his new book Living Medicine: Don Thomas\, Marrow Transplantation\, and the Cell Therapy Revolution\, Appelbaum paints the image of a determined medical student — then physician — who persisted through the doubt of his peers\, the denial of lab space from his supervisors\, and the recurring failures in his own experiments. Despite the push-back he faced from much of the medical community\, Thomas managed to achieve radical innovation when he developed a method of transplanting bone marrow — a procedure that would go on to save over a million lives. Ultimately\, Living Medicine tells a larger story of the way personality interacts with radical imagination\, as well as the impact that Thomas’s discoveries have on modern medicine\, and will continue to have on the future of medicine to come. \nJoin Frederick Appelbaum at Town Hall as he recounts the remarkable history of Dr. E. Donnall Thomas\, taking you through some of his most significant contributions to the medical field. \nDr. Fred Appelbaum is a physician-scientist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center who has been blessed with a long and successful career as a cancer researcher. His work has ranged from studying basic molecular abnormalities of the disease to conducting national and international studies of its treatment. He is currently on the scientific advisory boards of Memorial Sloan Kettering (which he chairs)\, Johns Hopkins\, MD Anderson\, University of Pennsylvania\, and the University of California San Francisco. \nGabriel Spitzer (he/him) is an Editor on NPR’s Science Desk\, covering global health and development. He previously served as Senior Editor of NPR’s daily science podcast Short Wave. Gabriel comes to NPR following years at public radio stations – most recently at KNKX in Seattle\, where he covered science and health before founding Transmission\, one of the country’s first podcasts about the COVID-19 pandemic. He spent a year as a John S. Knight Journalism Fellow at Stanford University. Spitzer has been honored with awards including the Kavli Science Journalism Award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, as well as awards from the Association of Health Care Journalists and Public Media Journalists Association.
