He received his PhD in Pathobiology and Translational Medicine at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine in 2019. He then completed his postdoctoral training at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. He joined SFU and HLI in 2021. The overarching goal of the Koelwyn lab is to apply a translational, ‘omics-based approach for understanding how heart, lung and/or oncologic diseases communicate with each other through immune-specific mechanisms, leading to adverse systemic, tissue, and cellular responses. It also seeks to demonstrate how exercise – a low-cost public health strategy – can therapeutically improve immune function to protect from these diseases and their deleterious interactions. + +**Abstract:** + +A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Canada, with over 60,000 Canadians entering emergency rooms annually. The recovery from a heart attack requires a swift and coordinated response from our innate immune system, which responds to inflammatory signals generated by the infarct. Historically, it was believed this immune response, coordinated by monocytes and macrophages to clear debris and heal damaged tissue, had no lasting effect on the immune system. However, recent evidence from our group and others have shown this is not the case. In this talk, I’ll discuss the recently developed concept of inflammatory memory, wherein monocytes and macrophages acquire ‘learned’ behavior following inflammatory events such as a heart attack, via epigenetic modifications, which result in long-term altered responses to subsequent immune challenges. I’ll also discuss the ‘omics tools used to identify heart attack-induced inflammatory memory, and the effect of such memory on future disease risk. + +--- + +/// html | div[class="bio"] + +![headshot](./images/rituparna-banerjee.jpeg) + +/// html | div + +**Trainee Speaker:** Rituparna Banerjee + +**Affiliation:** PhD candidate in bioinformatics program jointly supervised by Daniel Coombs and Matthew Pennell + +**Talk Title**: Exploring B cell repertoire evolution post-vaccination using mathematical modelling and phylogenetic trees + +/// + +/// diff --git a/src/archive/2025/images/graeme-koelwyn.png b/src/archive/2025/images/graeme-koelwyn.png new file mode 100644 index 00000000..5f06404c Binary files /dev/null and b/src/archive/2025/images/graeme-koelwyn.png differ diff --git a/src/archive/2025/images/rituparna-banerjee.jpeg b/src/archive/2025/images/rituparna-banerjee.jpeg new file mode 100644 index 00000000..841a0d1b Binary files /dev/null and b/src/archive/2025/images/rituparna-banerjee.jpeg differ diff --git a/src/index.md b/src/index.md index 156f0866..92cffa3f 100644 --- a/src/index.md +++ b/src/index.md @@ -11,6 +11,6 @@ Visit our sister groups for bioinformatics events in Montreal ([MonBUG](https:// ## VanBUG Monthly Event {% - include-markdown "./archive/2024/2024-11-21.md" - start="# Nov - Can Alkan" + include-markdown "./archive/2025/2025-01-16.md" + start="# Jan - Graeme Koelwyn" %} diff --git a/src/schedule.md b/src/schedule.md index 148314ed..35115629 100644 --- a/src/schedule.md +++ b/src/schedule.md @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ - ### Nov 21st, 2024, Thursday - :material-clock: 11:00am - 1:30pm PT + :material-clock: 11:00am - 12:30pm PT :material-map-marker: Remote @@ -34,21 +34,21 @@ /// html | div[class="timeline"] -- ### Jan 16th, 2024, Thursday +- ### Jan 16th, 2025, Thursday - :material-clock: 11:00am - 1:30pm PT + :material-clock: 11:00am - 12:30pm PT :material-map-marker: Remote :material-video: Connection Details TBA - Featured Speaker: TBA + Featured Speaker: Dr. Graeme Koelwyn - Trainee Speaker: TBA + Trainee Speaker: Rituparna Banerjee -- ### Feb 20th, 2024, Thursday +- ### Feb 20th, 2025, Thursday - :material-clock: 11:00am - 1:30pm PT + :material-clock: 11:00am - 12:30pm PT :material-map-marker: Remote @@ -58,9 +58,9 @@ Trainee Speaker: TBA -- ### March 20th, 2024, Thursday +- ### March 20th, 2025, Thursday - :material-clock: 11:00am - 1:30pm PT + :material-clock: 11:00am - 12:30pm PT :material-map-marker: Remote
