Midsummer Nights' Science 2016
More than one million humans have now had their DNA sequenced, providing tremendous amounts of information on the patterns of genetic variation across the human population. This talk will outline the Broad Institute’s efforts to create massive genetic databases and describe how these data can be used to understand human genes and the causes of rare, severe diseases.

Guest speaker: Shyni Varghese Associate Professor of Engineering UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering
Dr. Shyni Varghese, Associate Professor of Bioengineering at the UCSD Jacobs School of Engineering, will discuss how reciprocal interactions of cells with their microenvironment are fundamental to multiple cellular processes necessary for tissue development, homeostasis, and regeneration. Also, Varghese will discuss efforts to delineate the role...

Cell Symposia
Keynote addresses by: Shinya Yamanaka and Rudolf Jaenisch
In 2006, Shinya Yamanaka and Kazutoshi Takahashi reported the Nobel Prize winning discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in Cell. In the ten years that have passed since, iPSC technology has provided fundamental insights into our understanding of cell fate, mammalian development, and human disease. It has also spurred renewed interest in direct reprogramming across...
Harvard Club of Boston, 374 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA
It is the biggest day for life sciences startups and innovation in Massachusetts. This is a high-energy, hands-on event which brings together scientific leaders and business experts to mingle with scientists, post-docs, professors, entrepreneurs, innovators, and venture capitalists. A key goal of the event is an exchange of ideas, to connect the broader scientific community with those working in finance and policy. The earliest insight can, in time, foster an entire industry.

BMP 2016 is designed to expand our understanding of how the BMP signaling axis (BMP/TGFβ/Activin/GDF) influences development and maintenance of organ systems and seeks to uncover how dysregulation of this control results in disease. We challenge attendees to focus on the interconnected nature of the branches of BMP signaling axis, something that is now being considered for the first time and has tremendous implications for understanding diseases of BMP signaling.
