SUMMARY:Webinar: Arrayed CRISPR screening for phenotypic discovery at the MRC-AstraZeneca-University of Cambridge Joint Functional Genomics Screening Laboratory (FGSL)
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

SUMMARY:FGSL Webinar: Genetic modifier screen in human neurons reveals interaction between SARM1 and rare neuropathies 
DESCRIPTION:🗓️ 11 April\n⏰ 11:00am-12:00pm\n📍 Online \nJoin the Functional Genomics Screening Laboratory (FGSL) team as we welcome Dr Andrea Elser for this special webinar. \nSpeaker:\nDr. Andrea Elser\, Applied Stem Cell Sciences Team\, Centre for Genomics Research\, Discovery Sciences\, BioPharmaceuticals R&D\, AstraZeneca\, Gothenburg\, Sweden. \nAbstract:\nRare neuropathies\, chemotherapy-induced neurodegeneration and SARM1 activity share common characteristics. NAD-consuming enzyme SARM1 plays a central role in programmed axon death and its loss-of-function has been shown to be protective in subtypes of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia. These diseases are characterised by neurite degeneration and mitochondrial defects and currently lack effective therapies. SARM1 inhibitors may provide a much-needed disease-modifying opportunity for certain mechanistic subtypes of rare neurological disorders. To evaluate if SARM1 loss-of-function can protect against neurite degeneration linked to rare neuropathies\, we performed arrayed phenotypic CRISPR-Knock-out (KO) screens in wildtype and SARM1-KO human iPSC-derived neurons\, focusing on 60 disease-associated genes. In this webinar\, we will present in vitro model validation data and how the genetic screen was used to identify rare neuropathies where SARM1 inhibition can be neuroprotective. \nRegister at: cam-ac-uk.zoom.us/meeting/register/1pZA1ZYPQmGL7kA-TP2UZQ#/registration

SUMMARY:Cambridge NeuroWorks - What If Unconference
DESCRIPTION:🗓️ 17 June\n⏰ 3:00pm-6:30pm\n📍 The Glasshouse\, 100 Hills Road\, Cambridge \nJoin the unconference shaping the future of neurotech — no panels\, no passive listening\, just bold ideas\, real conversations\, and the people actually building what’s next. \nAn unconference is informal and participant-led — there are no fixed agendas or panels. Instead\, attendees shape the discussion on the day. It’s a space for exchanging ideas\, surfacing real-world challenges\, and discovering new angles on emerging opportunities in neurotechnology. We aim to keep it open\, interactive\, and driven by curiosity and collaboration. These sessions are designed to be highly interactive\, so come with an eagerness to get involved and to share your insights and ideas! \nWhether you’re interested in neurotech broadly\, neural interfaces\, AI in neuroscience\, wearable devices\, brain health\, or translating research to impact\, we’d love to have your voice in the room.\n \nFor more details and to register\, click here.  \n\n\n
