Wound Repair: Dealing with Life's Little Traumas
Speaker Susan Parkhurst, Ph.D. is Professor, Basic Sciences Division, Fred Hutch. Parkhurst studies the cytoskeleton, the cell ’ s internal framework. The cytoskeleton is a dynamic structure, constantly forming and breaking down to meet the cell ’ s changing needs, including changes in shape and movement. Problems with building and deconstructing the cytoskeleton arise in many human diseases. Wound healing, in which cells move to fill a gap, and the organization of the nucleus, the cell ’ s DNA storeroom, rely on the cytoskeleton. Dr. Parkhurst studies its roles in these normal conditions and what goes wrong in cance...

The Glycobiology of Cancer [Day 1]
Glycans (glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosaminoglycans) are expressed on the cell surface and play key roles in mediating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, protein-receptor signaling, and appropriate protein folding and maturation during translation. Malignant transformation and tumor progression correlate with aberrant changes in cellular glycosylation. Cells presenting with an altered glycocalyx are recognized by immune cells, leading to induction of inhibitory immune processes which subsequently drive tumor growth and metastasis. A focus on the glycobiology of cancer thus offers the possibility of revealing both...

Women Leaders in Academic Research: Triple Threat of Teaching, Research, & Patient Care: Easy as 1-2-3
Invited monthly lecture series highlighting and honoring women leaders in academic research, especially related disciplines of Interventional Radiology, Biomedical Engineering, Radiology, Imaging Sciences, Data Science, and Image-Guided Oncology. The honorary lecture series was established as a small effort to help counter the under-representation of women in academic research& the impact of gender disparity and implicit bias on role modeling and mentoring. Monthly topics are open-ended and are geared towards highlighting successful female or other under-represented academic leaders, as role models for trainees.For more in...

NIH Glycobiology Special Topics Seminar: Introduction to glycan structures, nomenclature, and glycosylation pathways
This special topics lecture series will provide an overview of the fundamental facts, concepts, and methods concerning glycosylation with an emphasis on aspects relevant to human health and disease.
Glycosylation mediates a wide variety of cellular functions and all multicellular organisms utilize glycans as biosignals in normal physiology. Most mammalian proteins contain sugar chains (referred to as glycans). These glycoproteins are formed as secondary gene products by the concerted action o f glycosyltransferases, glycosidases, and high-energy sugar nucleotides. Therefore, the biosynthesis of glycans is not controlled ...
