SUMMARY:Polymers for Medical Applications: An Overview of Polymeric Families and How They are Used to Treat and Diagnose Disease (2-Day Live Virtual Short Course\, Nov. 2 & 4)
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Subbu Venkatraman\, Innovations Manager\, UC San Diego\nSponsored by the Golden Gate Polymer Forum\nWednesday\, November 2 & Friday\, November 4.  Online via Zoom; early registration $200 (ends Sept 10 at 5pm); regular registration $250 (ends Oct 22 at 5pm); late registration\, if space is still available\, $300 (ends Oct 30 at 5pm)\nLearn more and register\n\nCourse Overview\n\nPolymers are increasingly finding use in medicine. Natural\, synthetic\, and biomimetic polymeric materials will be discussed in the context of the key role they play in advancing medical device technologies. Applications where polymers play a key role include (but are not limited to) biosensing\, tissue replacement/repair\, drug delivery through the oral and transdermal routes\, gene delivery using nanoparticles\, and Covid-19 vaccines \nThis two-day virtual course will address the breadth of different polymeric systems in a wide range of usage areas from medicine and drug delivery to medical devices. Attendees will get an overview of how to evaluate the many medical needs that can be addressed by clever use of polymers. Key takeaways from the course should include: an understanding of which medical devices are functionally dependent on the performance attributes of the polymers used; aspects of designing polymers for specific medical applications including device coatings and use of biomimetic polymers; how to evaluate the merits of using synthetic polymers over naturally-derived polymers for implanted devices; and assessing the ability to modify polymers to enable biodegradable and biostable coatings on devices. \nSpecific Topics Covered\nIntroduction to Polymers for Medical Applications; Biocompatibility  \n\nIntegration of polymers with surrounding tissue; cytotoxicity\n\nGels\, Crosslinked Systems and Stimuli-responsive Hydrogels \n\nApplications: contact lenses\, adhesives in patches; triggered drug delivery\n\nDrug/Protein/Gene Delivery; Nanostructured Polymers \n\nSelf-assembly; nanocarriers for siRNA and mRNA; COVID-19 and other vaccines\n\nNatural Polymers and Biomimetic Polymers \n\nProteins; artificial proteins; biomimetic polymers/proteins; collagen\, elastin\n\nBiodegradable Polymers \n\nSutures; fully-degradable implants; biocompatibility of degradation products\n\nTissue Engineering Scaffolds and Device Coatings \n\nTissue compatibilization using coatings; functionalized surfaces that help to integrate implants; blood-contacting devices; artificial blood vessels; bio-artificial pancreas\n\nWho should attend:\nThis course is likely to be of particular interest to scientists and engineers in medical device industries as well as in biotech companies involved in drug or gene delivery/ vaccines/nanomedicine. People working (or desiring to work) in any function that involves polymeric materials (R&D\, Design Engineering\, Manufacturing\, Quality\, Reliability\, Materials Procurement\, Regulatory Compliance\, etc.) but who have not had directly relevant polymer science training are highly likely to benefit. Please note that some familiarity with chemical nomenclature and structure will be helpful\, but a degree in chemistry is not a requirement to benefit significantly from this survey course. \n\nInstructor Background\nDr. Subbu Venkatraman has a PhD in Polymer Chemistry from Carnegie-Mellon University. \nDr. Venkatraman spent about 15 years in materials and biomedical R&D in the USA\, working with various applications of polymeric materials\, before joining the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore as an Associate Professor in 2000. He was instrumental in starting the Biomaterials effort at NTU and developing the paradigm of research driven by medical needs. He served as Associate Chair for Research in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering for 6 years\, before taking over as Chair in 2011. Under his watch the School’s worldwide ranking jumped 41 places to #3 as per the QS rankings\, and #1 as per the US News & World Report rankings. \nDr. Venkatraman has published extensively in the field of biomaterials\, with a total of 270 publications\, with an H-index of 47 and a citation count of 10\,000. He also holds 70 patents from a total of 171 applications. His work in biomaterials has led to 3 spin-off companies\, with one of them (Amaranth Medical) obtaining substantial series C funding.

SUMMARY:Nematode Pheromone Extracts as Boosters for Controlling Agricultural Pests in the Soil
DESCRIPTION:Date: Thursday\, November 3\, 2022.\nTime: 6pm Social Hour\, 7pm Dinner\, 8pm Seminar\nLocation: Michael’s at Shoreline\, 2960 N. Shoreline Blvd.\, Mountain View\, CA.   Seminar can be viewed online via Zoom.\nCost: $5 “welcome back to an in-person meeting” price\nRegistration: Registration required\nFlyer: View or download\n\nSpeaker:  Fatma Kaplan\, PhD\, CEO Pheronym \nAbstract:  Without pest control\, farmers would lose 30-80% of their crops. Farmers have to control pests to feed the growing world population. Recently\, Europe banned a huge number of pesticides\, leaving farmers in need of eco-friendly pest control solutions. Farmers globally told us that they had limited tools for eco-friendly pest control. This is really close to my heart because my grandparents were farmers. I know how much pest control makes a difference in their harvest. During my postdoc\, I discovered the first sex pheromone from a microscopic roundworm called a nematode. Pheromones are communication signals and have been used successfully to control insect pests above ground in the air. My company\, Pheronym\, is developing pheromones to address the pest control problem.The pheromones we develop are water-soluble and can be used to control pests in the soil. We have two applications. First\, we can use pheromones to influence beneficial nematodes that will feed on insect pests. Second\, we can treat seeds with pheromones that will repel bad nematodes that attack plant roots. Since pheromones are effective at very low concentrations\, our techniques have a very small footprint. Through our pheromones\, we are creating a much-needed eco-friendly solution for farmers across the world. \nShort bio:  Dr. Fatma Kaplan is the co-founder\, CEO of Pheronym and Activate Berkeley Fellow & Berkeley Lab Affiliate Cyclotron Road Cohort 2021. She is an entrepreneur and accomplished scientist with experience in both biology and chemistry. She has a Ph.D. in Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology and postdoctoral training in Natural Product Chemistry with a focus on isolating biologically active compounds. Dr. Kaplan discovered the first sex pheromone of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and published in Nature in 2008. Then she discovered that pheromones regulate other behaviors in both parasitic and beneficial nematodes. Dr. Kaplan conducted the first agricultural biocontrol experiment in Space at the International Space Station in 2020. She has very high-impact publications and her dissertation was cited in textbooks within 5 years of publication. Dr. Kaplan worked as a scientist at NASA\, the National Magnetic Field Laboratory and the US Department of Agriculture – Agricultural Research Service. Dr. Kaplan co-founded Pheronym to bring nematode pheromone technology to the market. Dr. Kaplan believes that nematode pheromone technology will provide effective\, non-toxic pest control for farmers and gardeners.
