What was once a clearly sign-posted path as you progressed through milestones\, a career road map is now circuitous presenting new challenges and opportunities at every bend. Life-long careers in one sector or one company are becoming a rarity as new technologies and shifting social norms disrupt traditional careers. Both employers and employees are seeking more diversity of experience\, lifestyle flexibility and alternative paths. \nThis panel is designed to help you think about your career path and the different options that are open to you. The panel will have an informational interview type feel with panelists sharing their career paths\, a look at what their job entails\, transferrable skills for those looking to make a change\, tips for uncovering opportunities\, advice for others\, and how to make brave leaps.

With this goal in mind\, Taconic Biosciences has teamed up with LifeCanvas Technologies to characterize pathological markers of Alzheimer’s disease and investigate how the disease progresses using advanced 3D histological technology in two Taconic mouse models: APPSWE and ARTE10 (APP-PS1). \nAlzheimer’s disease is a multifaceted progressive neurodegenerative disease with many underlying mechanisms. Each preclinical model typically allows for the investigation of a particular hypothesis\, such as an assessment of tangles or plaques. Taconic’s APPSWE and ARTE10 (APP-PS1) models\, which are commonly used for preclinical therapeutic efficacy studies in Alzheimer’s disease\, both express high concentrations of the β-amyloid precursor protein\, resulting in amyloid plaque depositions and reactive glia. \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Moriah Jacobson and Dr. Adam Hall will discuss how the combination of disease-specific mouse models and advanced imaging technology can help researchers gain improved insight into Alzheimer’s disease. They will provide an overview of the current available characterization and imaging data of these two mouse models\, as well as reveal how 3D imaging technology facilitates the analysis of distribution and density of plaques present in each model at different ages\, which can improve the evaluation of potential therapeutics. \nAttend this webinar to: \n\nUnderstand how to select a preclinical mouse model for Alzheimer’s research\, focusing on models that allow plaque development.\nDiscover the advantages of 3D histology and imaging compared to traditional 2D immunohistochemistry to study neurodegenerative disease.\nLearn how intact tissue clearing and light sheet imaging can be applied to study protein aggregates and neuroinflammatory markers in Alzheimer’s\, and to quantify their density and distribution.\n\nPresenters: \nAdam C. Hall\, PhD\nHEAD OF SCIENTIFIC AFFAIRS | LIFECANVAS TECHNOLOGIES \nAdam C. Hall\, PhD is Head of Scientific Affairs at LifeCanvas Technologies where he coordinates 3D tissue clearing and imaging contract research projects related to molecular phenotyping neuroanatomy\, neuropharmacology\, developmental neurobiology\, and neurodegenerative disorders. Adam received his PhD in Biochemistry from Imperial College at the University of London\, and his Masters in Pharmacology from Gonville & Caius College at the University of Cambridge\, UK. In his postdoctoral research at Imperial College and beyond he explored the neuropharmacology and neurotoxicology of anoretic\, anesthetic\, and anxiolytic agents. \nMoriah L. Jacobson\, PhD\nFIELD APPLICATIONS SCIENTIST | TACONIC BIOSCIENCES \nMoriah L. Jacobson\, PhD is a Field Application Scientist II with Taconic Biosciences since October 2020. She has deep expertise in the development\, execution\, and review of translational rodent studies. She obtained her Ph.D. in Integrative Neuroscience from Stony Brook University\, where she discovered novel biomarkers for several models of chronic stress and chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment and peripheral neuropathy. She then completed her postdoctoral research at Uniformed Services University where she studied novel rapid acting antidepressant drugs targeting kappa opioid receptors. \n  URL:https://bioct.org/event/characterization-of-alzheimers-disease-progression-in-mouse-models-using-3d-intact-tissue-clearing-and-imaging-technologies-hosted-by-taconic-biosciences/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220617T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220617T130000 DTSTAMP:20240328T110006 CREATED:20220608T145308Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220608T145308Z UID:5907-1655467200-1655470800@bioct.org SUMMARY:ABCT 2023 Cohort Information Session DESCRIPTION:Join us at this information session to learn first hand about the ABCT 2023 programs. \nAsk your questions in a virtual format.
