SUMMARY:Mitigating Data Bias for Life Science Models
DESCRIPTION:You downloaded the dataset and the bias came with it. Unless you catch it\, it flows straight into your model\, your paper\, and the decision at the end. \n​This 60-minute session is for life-sciences researchers and managers who use public and private datasets and know the history of those datasets. We work through a practical arc you can run from detecting the bias you inherited\, mitigating what is fixable in the data you already have\, and designing collection so the next dataset does not repeat it. \n​We ground it in real\, recent cases like a polygenic score or a skewed biobank. You will leave with a repeatable four-question scan for any dataset\, a working sense of which fixes rescue biased data and which do not\, and a short list of design habits. \n​No coding required. Bring a dataset you actually work with. \n​Who this is for: Post-docs\, research scientists\, PIs\, and anyone in life sciences who collects data. \nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

SUMMARY:Reading the Literature in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:​AI literature tools are already inside your research workflow. The question is whether you know what they’re not showing you. \n​This is 60-minute virtual session for life sciences researchers who use AI tools to find\, synthesize\, or evaluate scientific literature — and want to engage with those tools more critically. \n​We open with a real published case: a Nature Communications paper that passed peer review\, generated 22\,000 views\, and contained hundreds of errors. The correction received almost none of the attention. We’ll use it to build four specific failure mechanisms that apply to every AI literature tool you use — and a set of habits that let you catch them before they propagate into your work. \n​The session ends with a live workshop: run a real research question through two different AI tools\, compare what surfaces and what doesn’t\, and identify the failure mechanisms in action. \n​No technical background needed. Just bring a research question you’d actually use. \n​Who this is for: Post-docs\, research scientists\, PIs\, and anyone in life sciences who uses AI tools for literature search\, synthesis\, or research evaluation. \nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

SUMMARY:UC Santa Cruz Biotech Reception
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on June 24\, 2026\, at 5:30 pm at the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego\, for a special reception with UC Santa Cruz Nobel Laureate Carol Greider and members of the UCSC Department of Molecular\, Cell and Developmental Biology faculty. \nCarol won the Nobel Prize in 2009 for discovering how the tips of our chromosomes — called telomeres — protect the DNA inside our cells. Think of telomeres like the plastic caps on shoelaces that keep them from fraying. She also discovered telomerase\, the enzyme that rebuilds these caps as our cells divide. Her work has transformed how scientists understand aging\, cancer\, and what keeps our cells healthy over a lifetime. \nThis event is open to all UC Santa Cruz Alumni\, San Diego area supporters\, and interested industry representatives in town for the BIO International Convention. \nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

SUMMARY:How to Build a Working AI System in Life Sciences – Virtual
DESCRIPTION:​Everyone in life sciences has been told to use AI. Most have not been shown properly how. \n​This is a 60-minute hands-on session for life sciences professionals who want to actually understand what AI systems do and leave having built one. \n​We’ll cover the mental model that makes everything else click: how AI systems process information\, why the tools you use behave the way they do\, and how to write instructions that produce reliable outputs. Then you’ll build a working AI agent around an example provided. No coding experience required. \n​Be ready with your LLM of choice\, and one problem you’d like AI to help with. You’ll leave with something that works. \n​Who this is for: R&D professionals\, clinicians\, post-docs\, research scientists\, and anyone in life sciences who works with AI tools and wants to understand them better. \nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

SUMMARY:Endpoints at #ASCO26
DESCRIPTION:ASCO is where oncology pipelines get stress-tested in front of the entire world. Readouts can make or break big pharma strategies and reshape treatment paradigms overnight. Join Endpoints News and leading oncology researchers as we break down the science and data worth a second look. We’re examining new readouts\, unpacking the most anticipated trials on deck and discussing the biggest themes in cancer research. \nAgenda\n11:00 AM – 11:25 AM ET: In conversation with Jeff Legos\nWe’ll sit down with Pfizer’s Chief Oncology Officer for an update after his first year on the job\, and how he’s thinking through the pharma’s cancer pipeline. \n11:30 AM – 11:55 AM ET: Catching KRAS\nFor decades\, KRAS was an obvious target for cancer treatments. And for decades\, it seemed like an undruggable target. But that started to change with the first approved KRAS therapies. Research took off\, and now\, new data on pancreatic cancer suggest a potential breakthrough. Join pioneers in the space for a conversation on recent progress and where the work goes next. \n12:00 PM – 12:30 PM ET: Delivering excellence\, close to home\nCommunity oncology is the backbone of cancer care in the U.S.\, treating the majority of patients and ensuring care is delivered close to home in communities across the country. This panel will explore how community oncologists are navigating increasing clinical complexity while continuing to deliver high-quality\, patient-centered care. The session will highlight what is working today — and what needs to evolve — to support and strengthen community oncology as a foundational component of the cancer care ecosystem. \nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

SUMMARY:Four Rituximabs\, One Name: A Biosimilar Deep-Dive
DESCRIPTION:Same skin. Different fruit. \nThat’s the position a biosimilar developer is in the day a regulator asks them to prove their molecule is “highly similar” to a reference product — because “highly similar” is a legal phrase that only means something if you have instruments sharp enough to see what different actually looks like. And for a monoclonal antibody\, different rarely shows up in the sequence. It shows up in the decorations. \nYoungseo Na and the Schwendeman Lab at the University of Michigan — in collaboration with MS Bioworks — just published a study that puts that idea on the bench. Biosimilar comparability is almost always done pairwise: one proposed biosimilar measured against its reference product\, one regulatory decision at a time. The Michigan team ran a different experiment. They took Rituxan and all three FDA-approved rituximab biosimilars — Truxima\, Ruxience\, and Riabni — three lots of each — and pushed every sample through three orthogonal Byos workflows on the same platform: native intact mass\, released glycan HILIC-FLR\, and LC-MS/MS peptide mapping. Three independent measurements of the same set of molecules\, cross-checked against each other. What came back reframes where biosimilar variation actually lives — and how characterization data should be shaped to see it. \nWhat you’ll learn in this webinar:\n\nWhere biosimilar variation actually lives.\nWhy the largest glycoform and afucosylation differences in this four-product set surfaced between biosimilars — not between biosimilar and reference — and what that means for the way comparability is usually reported.\nHow to build orthogonal confidence into a PTM characterization package.\nHow the Michigan team used three independent Byos workflows — intact MS\, released glycan\, and peptide mapping — with three independent quantification strategies\, so every finding could be corroborated module to module before it was called.\nHow glycan microheterogeneity maps onto ADCC potency.\nThe direct\, measurable relationship between total afucosylated glycan content and in-vitro ADCC activity across the four products — and why that link makes glycan profiling a load-bearing piece of any biosimilar characterization story.\n\nREGISTER» \nHosted by:
