This year’s Canada Gairdner Award winnersjoin together after touring the country toexplain and explore their discoveries inscience. Our International Award winnerswill discuss the expanding potential of theCRISPR technique for gene editing, and ourWightman and Global Health awardees willshare their experiences confronting HIV/AIDS and broader global health challenges.

Inspired by the gene-editing pioneers ofthe 2016 Canada Gairdner InternationalAwards, this one-day symposium will stepbeyond the discovery of the CRISPR-Cassystem to explore gene editing’s potentialacross the biological spectrum, and howadvances in human health, disease control& environmental engineering could changeour perspective & place in the natural world.

Featuring a Roundtable Discussion with the2016 Canada Gairdner Award Laureates.

Gairdner Symposia are FREE events open to all interested members of the publicFor further information visit us at www.gairdner.org or follow us on Twitter and YouTube

Organoid Resource Lab

Trevigen is pleased to announce the

opening of the Organoid Resource

Laboratory (ORL) at its Gaithersburg,

Maryland, location. The purpose of

the ORL is to provide the research

community with the matrices, reagents,

growth factors, organoid progenitor

cells, protocols, and technical support

needed to promote the establishment

of organoid cultures. Researchers

have devised means to propagate 3D

cultures, which most closely mimic the

physiological response patterns of the

tissue of origin. The ultimate form of 3D

culture is the organoid, which is cultured

from progenitor stem cells taken from a

fresh target organ. The cells never come

in direct contact with glass or plastic

labware and under stringent, prescribed

conditions, can be cultured to become

mini-organs that closely resemble the

original source organ and exhibit the

proper physiological response patterns.

������������������������ �������

organoid culture products, along

with protocols for use and technical

services support, to assist the adoption

of organoid cultures by both new and

experienced labs alike.

Immune response monitoringWhat can we learn about immunotherapy, pathogen response, and autoimmunity?

The role of the immune system in health and well-being is

perhaps more far-reaching than previously imagined. An

insuffcient or overactive immune response impacts cancers,

autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. Monitoring

immune responses by measuring cytokine levels has become

an integral part of disease-related research, providing clues to

the state of the immune system and how it could be targeted

therapeutically. Also, knowing which cytokines to measure is

essential for gaining a better understanding of the complexity

of immune responses.

This webinar will address the role that insuffcient or

overactive immune responses play in disease, which

cytokines are most commonly used to monitor infammation

and immunosuppression, and whether the use of

common biomarkers is good enough, or if a broader set of

measurements is required.

The panel will be available to answer questions live

from the online audience.
