Seminar - “Heart-on-a-plate for Drug Discovery and Disease Modeling” by Milica Radisic, Department of Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry, University of Toronto

ABSTRACT:  The current drug development process is both very slow (15 year average) and costly ($1.5B/drug average). Despite this hefty investment, inefficiencies in the drug screening process routinely result in the withdrawal of drugs from the market due to serious toxicities and adverse cardiovascular effects. Safety screen assessments performed on cell cultures and animal models do not always correlate with clinical risk.

Seminar - “A Cautionary Tale of Measurement and Model Uncertainty – The Development of an NMR Metabolomic Platform for Cell Culture Analysis” by Stanislav Sokolenko, PhD, Chemical Engineering, University of Waterloo

ABSTRACT:  Truly rational design has been a major goal of bioengineering for some time. And while certain aspects of genetic engineering have become more predictable, the need for information about cellular behaviour has only continued to grow. The availability of genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic data has opened the door to the synthesis of multiple levels of information in biological research.
