SUMMARY:From Cohorts to Clinical Insights: Multimodal AI research at Korea’s National Institute of Health
DESCRIPTION:🗓️ 11 March  ⏰ 11:00am\n📍 Lecture Theatre\, Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre \nAll are welcome – no need to register\, just turn up!\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Hye-Yeong Jo\, Korea National Institute of Health (KNIH) \nTalk Overview \n\nCurrent status of the national bio-big-data infrastructure established by KNIH and key findings from the COVID-19 multi-omics project\nMajor research outcomes generated from the program\nPlans to develop a COVID-19–focused foundation model using 900 single-cell datasets from the multi-omics project\n\n\nAbstract \nThe Korea National Institute of Health (KNIH)\, under the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA)\, conducts national-level biomedical research with a focus on disease prevention and population health. This seminar introduces KNIH’s recent AI research initiatives and highlights key outcomes across multiple domains. \nKNIH has applied AI and machine learning to a range of healthcare data types\, including neuroimaging (PET and MRI)\, wearable-derived lifelog signals\, and unstructured clinical text. These efforts span early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases\, digital phenotyping for chronic condition monitoring\, and the development of LLM-based tools to support genomic interpretation and clinical data structuring. \nThe seminar concludes with a discussion of KNIH’s COVID-19 multi-omics program. Since 2020\, KNIH has built a longitudinal multi-omics dataset—including WGS\, scRNA-seq\, TCR/BCR-seq\, and cytokine profiling—from 720 COVID-19 patients\, the vaccinated and healthy controls. These data have been used to develop AI-based severity prediction models and are publicly available through the National Biobank of Korea. Building on this infrastructure\, KNIH is currently developing AI-based foundation models to support preparedness and rapid response to future emerging infectious diseases. \nThese initiatives reflect KNIH’s broader efforts to integrate AI into public health research and offer perspectives relevant to national-scale health data science.

SUMMARY:Milner Therapeutics Institute: Driving innovation and therapeutic discoveries across the ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:🗓️ 31 March ⏰ 3:00-4:00pm 📍Lecture Theatre\, Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre \nThis event is presented as part of the 2026 Cambridge Festival​. \nSince its inception in 2016\, the Milner Therapeutics Institute​ has been a driving force in connecting academia and business in Cambridge and beyond. With a distinctive model that unites therapeutics research\, partnerships\, and enterprise\, the Institute aims to transform pioneering science into life-changing therapies.  \nAt this event\, our Executive Director Professor Cathy Tralau-Stewart will reflect on how Professor Sir Tony Kouzarides turned a bold vision into reality – launching a completely new and unique department that bridged the gap between academia and industry. Cathy will explore how this innovative model compares with other translational research institutes around the world\, highlighting what makes Milner distinct in its approach and impact. She will also chart the Institute’s journey to date\, celebrate key milestones\, and share her perspective on how Milner will continue to drive discovery and innovation in the life sciences. \nRegister at: milner.glueup.com/event/milner-therapeutics-institute-driving-innovation-and-therapeutic-discoveries-across-the-ecosystem-160327/

SUMMARY:FGSL Webinar: Single-cell Intercellular CRISPR Screen Reveals Stromal Regulators of Colorectal Cancer Plasticity
DESCRIPTION:🗓️ 14 April\n⏰ 11:00am-12:00pm\n📍 Online \nJoin the Functional Genomics Screening Laboratory (FGSL) team as we welcome Corinne Molyneux for this special webinar. \nSpeaker: Corinne Molyneux\, University College London\n\nAbstract: Colorectal cancer (CRC) displays high levels of nongenetic phenotypic plasticity\, allowing cancer cells to dynamically shift between different functions\, enabling therapy evasion. This is particularly evident in poor prognosis\, stromal-rich CRC tumours. These tumours also have an elevated presence of revival cancer stem cells (revCSCs). In the microenvironment of these tumours cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) act as dynamic regulators driving the reversible acquisition of YAP-dependant\, slow-cycling\, chemoresistant features that define the revCSC state. The soluble factors that are regulating this transition were however undefined. \nTo resolve this question\, we developed a high-throughput single-cell CRISPR assay to systematically perturb the CAF secretome when in direct co-culture with patient derived organoids (PDO). Individual components of the secretome were targeted by synthetic gRNAs in Cas9 expressing CAFs before co-culture. The perturbed co-cultures were then assessed via multiplexed mass cytometry\, capturing cell fate markers\, post-translational modification (PTM) signalling\, cell-cycle activity\, and apoptosis in both PDOs and CAFs at single-cell resolution. \nUsing this platform we have successfully targeted 202 ligands in our PDO+CAF model and quantified the role of each in the revCSC transition\, unveiling the primary effector of stromal-induced CRC plasticity changes. These findings demonstrate that CRC phenotypic plasticity is regulated by stromal-derived signals\, providing new mechanistic insight into therapy failure and describing a potential therapeutic intervention strategy to overcome plasticity driven chemoresistance. \nRegister at: cam-ac-uk.zoom.us/meeting/register/I4NjVGD2T4Oui4FWDTaJrw#/registration

SUMMARY:Partnering with Curie.Bio: Turning Ideas into Therapies
DESCRIPTION:Turning Ideas into Therapies: an opportunity to connect with a leading therapeutics investor Curie.Bio\n🗓️  16 April   ⏰ 12:00-1:30pm\n📍 Lecture Theatre\, Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre \nJoin the Milner Therapeutics Institute and Cambridge Enterprise for a seminar showcase and networking event with the leadership team at US venture firm Curie.Bio. \nCurie.Bio is a US venture capital firm and accelerator that helps founders discover and develop novel therapeutics. The company was created with the aim of removing the typical bottlenecks and boundaries that get in the way of creating drugs. To achieve this\, the company collaborates closely with founders to reach better milestones in initial funding rounds\, which in turn increase founders’ probabilities of success. \nAt this event\, Christoph Lengauer\, Founder and CSO\, and members of the leadership team will showcase Curie.Bio’s differentiated approach including how they collaborate with founders\, illustrated by a Q&A with Prof Gabriel Balmus\, Group Leader at the UK Dementia Institute and CEO at FunctionRx. The company is working on discovering oral small molecule targeting MSH3 to halt Huntington‘s disease and other repeat expansion disorders at a very early stage. \nRegister at: tickettailor.com/events/milnerinstitute/2132156
