SUMMARY:Exploring Frontiers Seminar: Christopher Mason
DESCRIPTION:The Paul G. Allen Frontiers Group will host Dr. Christopher Mason\, Associate Professor of Computational Genomics at Weill Cornell Medicine\, for an afternoon seminar and reception. \nThe avalanche of easy-to-create genomics data has impacted almost all areas of medicine and science\, from cancer patients and microbial diagnostics to molecular monitoring for astronauts in space. Recent technologies and algorithms from Dr. Mason’s laboratory and others demonstrate that an integrative\, cross-kingdom view of patients (precision metagenomics) holds unprecedented biomedical potential to discern risk\, improve diagnostic accuracy\, and to map both genetic and epigenetic states around the world and in real-time. Finally\, these methods and molecular tools work together to guide the most comprehensive\, longitudinal\, multi-omic view of human astronaut physiology in the NASA Twins Study\, which lay the foundation for future long-duration spaceflight\, including sequencing\, quantifying\, and engineering genomes in space. \nPlease contact Events@alleninstitute.org if you have any questions.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, April 3\n3:30-5:45pm \nAllen Institute\n615 Westlake Avenue N.\nSeattle\, WA 98109 \n\n\n\n\n\nDR. MASON’S BIO \nREGISTER \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedule\n3:30 p.m. Registration Opens \n4:00-4:05 p.m. Kathy Richmond\, Welcome and Opening Remarks \n4:05-5:00 p.m. Christopher Mason\, Genomics Revolutions in Cancer\, Global Health\, and Astronauts \n5:00-5:45 p.m. Reception \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Christopher Mason\nWeill Cornell Medicine\nThe Mason laboratory develops and deploys new biochemical and computational methods in functional genomics to elucidate the genetic basis of human disease and human physiology. They create and deploy novel techniques in next-generation sequencing and algorithms for: tumor evolution\, genome evolution\, DNA and RNA modifications\, and genome/epigenome engineering. They also work closely with NIST/FDA to build international standards for these methods\, to ensure clinical-quality genome measurements/editing. They also work with NASA to build integrated molecular portraits of genomes\, epigenomes\, transcriptomes\, and metagenomes for astronauts\, which help establish the molecular foundations and genetic defenses for enabling long-term human spaceflight. \nDr. Mason has won the NIH’s Transformative R01 Award\, the NASA Group Achievement Award\, the Pershing Square Sohn Cancer Research Alliance Young Investigator award\, the Hirschl-Weill-Caulier Career Scientist Award\, the Vallee Scholar Award\, the CDC Honor Award for Standardization of Clinical Testing\, and the WorldQuant Foundation Scholar Award.  He was named as one of the “Brilliant Ten” Scientists by Popular Science\, featured as a TEDMED speaker\, and called “The Genius of Genetics” by 92Y.  He has >150 peer-reviewed papers that have been featured on the covers of Nature\, Science\, Nature Biotechnology\, Nature Microbiology\, Neuron\, and Genome Biology and Evolution\, as well as cited by the U.S. District Court and U.S. Supreme Court.  His work has also appeared on the covers of the Wall Street Journal\, TIME\, LA Times\, New York Times\, and across many media (ABC\, NBC\, CBC\, CBS\, Fox\, CNN\, PBS\, NASA\, NatGeo). He has co-founded several biotechnology start-up companies\, including Biotia and Onegevity Health\, and serves as an advisor to many others.

SUMMARY:The Art of Aviation
DESCRIPTION:JOIN US IN CELEBRATION OF THE SCIENCE OF FLIGHT \nThe Wright brothers took that first\, groundbreaking flight only 116 years ago\, and in the past century alone\, the science of aviation has expanded across STEM disciplines and reached heights that were once inconceivable. Join us on April 14 as we celebrate that incredible journey alongside the U.S. Air Force at The Museum of Flight in Seattle. Here\, you can explore more than 175 aircraft and spacecraft\, test your piloting skills with professional-grade simulation equipment\, and experience historic flights through exhibits\, photographs\, and stories from those who manned them. You’ll also have the chance to investigate potential careers that integrate STEM and aviation today. Of course\, there will be plenty of delicious food and refreshments to try throughout the night\, too. It’s an evening designed to pique your curiosity\, challenge your mind\, and celebrate aviation.

SUMMARY:Exploring Frontiers Seminar: Nature's Blueprint
DESCRIPTION:Join us May 2-3\, 2019 at the Allen Institute for Exploring Frontiers: Nature’s Blueprint\, a symposium featuring the latest insights from leading researchers in the fields of morphogenesis and regeneration\, chaired by Michael Levin\, Ph.D.\, leader of the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University. The talks will attempt to answer the question\, “How do physics and genetics lead to living creatures’ growth and form?” \nRegistration for this event will open in March. Please contact Events@alleninstitute.org with any questions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n05/02/2019to05/03/2019\n\n\n\n\nAllen Institute\n615 Westlake Avenue N.\nSeattle\, WA 98109 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSymposium Chair\n\n\n\n\n\nMichael Levin\, Ph.D.\nLeader of Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University \n\n\nPrior to college\, Michael Levin worked as a software engineer and independent contractor in the field of scientific computing. He attended Tufts University\, interested in artificial intelligence and unconventional computation. To explore the algorithms by which the biological world implemented complex adaptive behavior\, he got dual B.S. degrees\, in CS and in Biology.  He received a PhD from Harvard University for the first characterization of the molecular-genetic mechanisms that allow embryos to form consistently left-right asymmetric body structures in a universe that does not macroscopically distinguish left from right (1992-1996); this work is on Nature’s list of 100 Milestones of Developmental biology of the Century. He then did post-doctoral training at Harvard Medical School (1996-2000)\, where he began to uncover a new bioelectric language by which cells coordinate their activity during embryogenesis. His independent laboratory (2000-2007 at Forsyth Institute\, Harvard; 2008-present at Tufts University) develops new molecular-genetic and conceptual tools to understand information processing in regeneration\, embryogenesis\, and cancer suppression. He holds the Vannevar Bush endowed Chair and serves as director of the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology. Recent honors include the Scientist of Vision award and the Distinguished Scholar Award. His group’s specific focus is on endogenous biophysical mechanisms that implement decision-making during pattern regulation\, and harnessing voltage gradients that serve as prepatterns for anatomical polarity\, organ identity\, gene expression\, and epigenetic modification. The lab’s current main directions are: 1) understanding how somatic cells form bioelectrical networks for processing pattern memories and guiding morphogenesis\, 2) creating next-generation AI tools for helping scientists understand top-down control of pattern regulation (a new bioinformatics of shape)\, and 3) using these insights to discover new capabilities in regenerative medicine and engineering.

His independent laboratory (2000-2007 at Forsyth Institute\, Harvard; 2008-present at Tufts University) develops new molecular-genetic and conceptual tools to understand information processing in regeneration\, embryogenesis\, and cancer suppression. He holds the Vannevar Bush endowed Chair and serves as director of the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology. Recent honors include the Scientist of Vision award and the Distinguished Scholar Award. His group’s specific focus is on endogenous biophysical mechanisms that implement decision-making during pattern regulation\, and harnessing voltage gradients that serve as prepatterns for anatomical polarity\, organ identity\, gene expression\, and epigenetic modification. The lab’s current main directions are: 1) understanding how somatic cells form bioelectrical networks for processing pattern memories and guiding morphogenesis\, 2) creating next-generation AI tools for helping scientists understand top-down control of pattern regulation (a new bioinformatics of shape)\, and 3) using these insights to discover new capabilities in regenerative medicine and engineering.
