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

SUMMARY:FGSL Webinar: Overexpression of LIGHT on cancer cells facilitates T-cell cross-priming
DESCRIPTION:🗓️ 15 October\n⏰ 11:00am-12:00pm\n📍 Online \nJoin the Functional Genomics Screening Laboratory (FGSL) team as we welcome Dr Lorena Boquete Vilariño for this special webinar. \nSpeaker: Dr Lorena Boquete Vilariño\, Centro de Fabricación de Terapias Avanzadas de Galicia\, Galaria EPSS SA \nAbstract: Dendritic cells (DCs) are key to initiate anti-tumour immune responses\, but their function is commonly disrupted in cancer. We performed a genome-wide arrayed CRISPR-Cas9 screen in a cancer cell – DC co-culture system and uncovered genes which upon knockout in cancer cells could lead to activation in DCs. Using transcriptomics together with binding partner analysis we discovered that overexpression of a single protein (LIGHT) in cancer cells could activate dendritic cells and promote T-cell activation in a cross-priming assay. \nRegister at: cam-ac-uk.zoom.us/meeting/register/WnKnPejJQfyoB4vYcVobdw#/registration
