SUMMARY:From Curriculum to Enculturation: Building Healthcare Policy Education for Health Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free\, hybrid forum on April 30\, from 9:00 AM–2:00 PM! Explore innovative health policy education initiatives developed at UTHealth Houston\, as part of a 5-year\, campus-wide effort impacting thousands of students. Through talks and demonstrations\, attendees will gain practical insights\, discover ready-to-use curricular resources\, and connect with others passionate about teaching and learning about healthcare policy. \nIn-person attendees will enjoy complimentary breakfast and lunch. The event will be held at the Beth Robertson Auditorium\, Institute for Molecular Medicine\, UTHealth Houston (1825 Pressler\, Houston\, TX 77030)\, with live-streaming via Zoom. \nRegistration (online & in-person) is requested at https://go.uth.edu/healthcare-policy-education. \nThis is open to all members of UTHealth Houston and McGovern Medical School.

SUMMARY:Neurosurgery Research Seminar - protein engineering for immunomodulation
DESCRIPTION:“Protein engineering for immunomodulation” will be presented by Dr. Yubin Zhou on Thursday\, April 30\, 2026\, in MSB 2.135 at 3 pm. \nYubin Zhou\, MD\, PhD\, FAAAS\, FAIMBE\, FRSC\nPresidential Impact Fellow & Chancellor EDGES Fellow\nProfessor and Director\, Center for Translational Cancer Research\nInstitute of Biosciences and Technology &\nDepartment of Translational Medical Sciences\,\nCollege of Medicine\, Texas A&M University \nMicrobial opsin-based optogenetics has been nothing short of revolutionary for the neuroscience field. Owing to the radical difference in the localization and excitability between immune cells and neurons\, a parallel evolution of synthetic biology tools tailored for the immune system requires totally different design principles. In this talk\, I will explore how the convergence of optogenetics\, chemogenetics\, nanotechnology\, and immunoengineering can propel the burgeoning field of synthetic immunology. In parallel\, I will showcase engineering strategies for creating programmable cell-based therapies and biologics equipped with precision switches\, thereby allowing precise control over the dose\, location\, and timing of therapeutic effects. These approaches are anticipated to not only accelerate the mechanistic understanding of molecular and cellular physiology\, but also offer transformative solutions for treating immunoinflammatory disorders\, cancer\, and neurodegenerative diseases.
