Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Various, Amgen
Talk Title: R&D Insights from Lab Bench to Patient Bedside
Abstract: USC researchers have the opportunity to gain research and development insights with a new biotechnology lecture series sponsored by Amgen and the Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC.
The weekly lecture series, "R&D Insights from Lab Bench to Patient Bedside" takes place Thursdays at 10:30AM-12:00PM at USC's Health Sciences Campus from September 1, 2016 through November 10, 2016.
The talks will feature Amgen scientists speaking about:
Identifying a possible therapeutic target and its role in disease
Increasing therapeutic efficacy and safety
Process development, devices and manufacturing
Case studies from bench to clinic
Lectures will take place at the BCC First Floor Seminar Room or ZNI Herklotz Seminar Room.
RSVP at http://www.usc.edu/esvp (use code: amgenlecture). Space is limited. Preference will be given to SCRM master's students, PhDs, and postdocs, and attending all lectures is mandatory.

California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) Roadshow
Thu, Sep 22, 2016 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Speaker: Various, California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM)
Talk Title: Various
Abstract: In December of 2015, the CIRM Board unanimously adopted a bold new strategic plan that seeks to make the most out of the Institute's remaining time and resources. CIRM 2.0, as we call it, is intended to more effectively drive our mission of accelerating stem cell treatments to patients with unmet medical needs. But to be successful, we need you.
We have a little over four years left to make new awards under our current funding paradigm, and if we work diligently, we can accomplish a lot. Imagine 50 new therapeutics candidates discovered under our early stage programs. Or reducing by half the time it takes to move the next great idea through translation into the clinic. And of course, conducting these new clinical trials - all 50 of them! CIRM 2.0 has programs that cover all of it - from the earliest stage seed funding through advanced clinical research. And we want to make sure that you know how to get the most out of it.
As part of our CIRM Roadshow, we are holding a series of meetings throughout the state, in order to re-introduce you to CIRM and what this radical new stemcelerating machine can do. Please join us for a more in-depth look at CIRM 2.0 this fall.
Over these next four years, we will make approximately $700 million in new awards to advance stem cell research and development. It is both a tremendous opportunity and responsibility. Come join us, and be part of the team that is making stem cell history.
CIRM Speakers:
Randy Mills, CIRM President and CEO: CIRM 2.0 Overview and Goals
Pat Olson, VP Translation and Discovery: Funding Early Stage Work
Maria Millan, VP Therapeutics: Funding Clinical Trials
Gil Sambrano, Director of Portfolio Development and Review: Who is Eligible and How to Apply
James Harrison, CIRM General Counsel: California vs. Non-California Applicants, How Our Funding Works for You
Gabe Thompson, Director of Grants Management: What Happens After You Are Approved for Funding
Neil Littman, Director of Business Development and Strategic Infrastructure: How Our Translating and Accelerating Centers and the Alpha Stem Cell Clinic Network Can Help You Succeed
