SUMMARY:Webinar: Harnessing the power of whole genome arrayed screening to discover new mechanisms and targets in rare genetic conditions
DESCRIPTION:🗓️ 9th October\n⏰ 10:00am\n📍 Online (Zoom) \nJoin us for this webinar presented by the MRC-AstraZeneca-University of Cambridge Joint Functional Genomics Screening Laboratory. \nSpeaker: Dr Delphine Larrieu\, Altos Labs \nAbstract: Progeria syndromes are very rare\, incurable premature aging conditions recapitulating most aging features. They are caused by mutations in nuclear envelope proteins\, who play major roles in maintaining the structure of the nucleus\, as well as the organisation of the chromatin. As a result of these mutations\, patient-derived cells display a dramatic loss of nuclear envelope integrity\, characterised by nuclear shape distortion\, nuclear envelope ruptures and abnormal localisation of nuclear envelope proteins. With the goal of identifying new players that could restore nuclear envelope integrity and cell health in Progeria patient cells\, we designed a whole genome screen\, looking for genes that could reverse multiple nuclear envelope associated phenotypes at once. These phenotypes can only be assessed by microscopy on adherent cells\, preventing the use of pooled\, flow cytometry-based screening strategies. We therefore implemented a whole genome\, CRISPR arrayed screen that proved to be a powerful approach for identifying new genes enhancing cellular resilience in premature aging and uncover novel biology behind progeria-associated cellular dysfunction. \nClick here to register >>

SUMMARY:Functional genomic screens and AI: a key partnership for successful therapeutic development
DESCRIPTION:🗓️ 22nd October \n⏰ 4:30pm-7:00pm (presentations 5:00pm-6:00pm) \n📍 West Hub\, JJ Thompson Avenue\, Cambridge \nJoin Cambridge Network and the Milner Therapeutics Institute to explore the world of genomics and AI in developing therapies for human disease. \nCRISPR gene-editing and AI are crucial tools in the early stages of developing therapies for the treatment of human disease. Such screens generate myriad datapoints that humans are unable to sift through without computational input.

DESCRIPTION:🗓️ 21st November\n⏰ 4:00-5:00pm\n📍Online \nSpeakers:\nUlrike Künzel\, FGSL Lead\, AstraZeneca\nand\nChun Hao Wong\, FGSL Lead\, Milner Therapeutics Institute\nThe MRC-AstraZeneca-University of Cambridge Joint Functional Genomics Screening Laboratory (FGSL) leverages the unique features of arrayed screening\, whereby individual genes are edited via CRISPR in plate-based format\, to uncover the complexity of developmental and disease signatures using human cellular models. The laboratory – hosted at the Milner Therapeutics Institute\, University of Cambridge – is equipped with a high-throughput screening platform to enable functional endpoint acquisition including high content imaging and flow cytometry. \nThis presentation will showcase previous phenotypic screens in complex cell models\, in which we overcame some of the inherent challenges in delivering CRISPR/Cas9 reagents. We will also present routes to form either academic or small/medium-sized enterprise collaborations with the FGSL for arrayed screening. \nRegister at: insidescientific.com/webinar/arrayed-crispr-screening-for-phenotypic-discovery-at-the-mrc-astrazeneca-ucam-functional-genomics-screening-laboratory-fgsl/

SUMMARY:Milner Consortium Call Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Join this webinar to learn more about the 2025 Milner Consortium Call. \nOur pharma partners in the Milner Therapeutics Consortium have identified topics for challenges that are a current priority for external collaboration with academics. These projects could provide a better understanding of a disease mechanism or discover and validate new therapeutic targets and can range from reagent sharing and 6-month pilots to 2-year postdoctoral funded collaborations. They are expected to lead to joint publications with the company partners. \nAre you an academic at the University of Cambridge\, Babraham and Wellcome Sanger Institutes? Do you have an idea for a potential pre-clinical collaborative project that would benefit from industry expertise and know-how? We are looking for project proposals that could provide solutions to current challenges in the following areas\, and applications from cross-disciplinary teams are encouraged: \nNeuroscience – Immunology & Inflammation – New technologies – Infectious Disease – Reproductive Medicine – Oncology – Metabolism and Cardiovascular disease \nInformation webinar\nTo learn more\, please register to attend our information and Q&A webinar\, taking place on 27 January at 2pm. \nContact details:\nFor full details\, to download FAQs and an application form\, please visit: https://www.milner.cam.ac.uk/consortiumcall
