Goal #8: Foster the development of the emerging field of translational science

The Invent Oregon Collegiate Challenge concluded its eighth annual year-long competition on June 27, with the top prize going to Oregon Health and Science University’s EaziStep, founded by Joshua Vanderpool and Ildar Fazulyanov. Taking home $10,000 for their innovation is a transforming medical device that provides multiple mobility options as a knee scooter and hands-free crutch for foot and ankle injuries. The 2024 finals were hosted in Eugene at the University of Oregon campus. 18 teams were welcomed onto the stage at the Lundquist School of Business. Students from colleges across Oregon competed for $30,000 in prizes…&nbsp;Read the full article <a href="https://www.inventoregon.org/post/ohsu-s-eazistep-takes-home-top-prize-in-inventor-finals#:~:text=The%20Invent%20Oregon%20Collegiate%20Challenge%20concluded" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.&nbsp;

In early 2024, the Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Coordination, Communication, and Operations Support (CCOS) Center awarded Working Group (WG) status to the “Translational Science Case Group”. This group, officially known as, "Learning about the Science of Translation: Identifying Best Practices to Accelerate the Translational Process Through Case Studies" is co-led by Clara Pelfrey, Ph.D., Director of Evaluation at the Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative (CTSC) of Northern Ohio, alongside Deborah DiazGranados, Ph.D., Evaluation Director for Virginia Commonwealth University’s Center for Clinical and Translational Research. This WG aims to explore best practices in accelerating the translational process by investigating case studies. The award from CCOS includes 30 CTSA hubs involved as members or contributors of translational success stories…&nbsp;Read the full article <a href="https://case.edu/medicine/ctsc/about-us/news-and-announcements/case-studies-translational-science-identifying-best-practices-accelerate-translational-process" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.

Goal #7:  Training and career support programs for translational scientists

Date: Friday, September 13, 2024Time: 12:00 - 1:00 p.m., ESTLocation: Virtual via <a href="https://georgetown.zoom.us/j/527229623" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Zoom</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://med.miami.edu/faculty/alessia-fornoni-md-phd-fasn" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Alessia Fornoni, M.D., Ph.D.</a> is Professor of Medicine and Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine where she serves as Director of the Peggy and Harold Katz Drug Discovery Center and co-director of their MSTP and CTSA/KL2 programs. She has made signal contributions to our understanding of pathogenetic mechanisms and novel therapeutic targets in proteinuric kidney disease.&nbsp; In her talk entitled, “Using a 3B approach to translate discoveries: from Bedside to Bench and Back,” she will share insights into harmonizing expectations between academia, industry, community and patient foundations to advance successful translation from discovery to clinical applications. As an example, she will review the target identification and drug discovery effort that led to the invention and development of a novel agent for the treatment of kidney disease that is currently being tested in phase 2 trials. Lastly, she will use her personal experience to discuss how work life balance is a key component of a successful career in clinical and translational science…&nbsp;Learn more about the event <a href="http://www.georgetownhowardctsa.org/news-events/event-calendar/clinical-and-translational-research-grand-rounds-using-a-3b-approach-to-translate-discoveries-from-bedside-to-bench-and-back" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.
