  • Microbiome-Cleavable Drug Conjugates for Treatment of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases

    Department of Biology Seminar Series
    Arts Building (ART) 1147 Research Road, Kelowna, BC, Canada

    About the Presentation Current therapies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) rely on non-specific immunosuppression, which can cause significant side effects and limit treatment effectiveness. This presentation will explore "GlycoCaging," an innovative drug-delivery strategy developed through a collaboration between UBC researchers that harnesses the gut microbiome to activate therapeutics specifically in the lower gastrointestinal tract. By […]

  • Beyond Immunity: The Immune System in Metabolic Disease & Exercise Adaptation

    Department of Biology Seminar Series
    Arts Building (ART) 1147 Research Road, Kelowna, BC, Canada

    About the Presentation The immune system plays a critical role in far more than fighting infection. Emerging research shows that immune cells are closely linked to metabolism, influencing how the body responds to diet, exercise and chronic disease. In this presentation, Dr. Hashim Islam will explore the growing field of immunometabolism and share new insights […]

  • Adventures in Using New Technologies to Understand Boreal Predator-Prey Dynamics

    Department of Biology Seminar Series
    Arts Building (ART) 1147 Research Road, Kelowna, BC, Canada

    About the Talk The boreal forest is characterized by drastic boom-and-bust community dynamics centred around population cycles of small mammals. However, deciphering what drives the 100-fold change in biomass between years is hindered by the dense vegetation and secretive nature of boreal species. Join Dr. Emily Studd from Thompson Rivers University as she shares how […]
