SUMMARY:Center for Experimental Therapeutics Virtual Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The Development of Chinese Herbal Medicine as a Modulator of Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Metastatic Colorectal Cancer \nPHY906 is a Chinese herbal medicine that has been used for nearly 2\,000 years. This herbal medicine was selected based on the historical documentation in the Chinese literature of its use to treat a wide range of GI ailments\, including diarrhea\, nausea/vomiting\, and abdominal cramps\, as well as extensive preclinical and clinical data we have gathered in recent years on its potential efficacy and molecular mechanisms of this medicine. While there had been extensive use of this herbal medicine\, prior to our research\, there was no product made under highly controlled and standardized methods nor had attempts been made to ensure quality control. With this in mind\, our group focused our initial efforts on developing a rigorous standard operating procedure to produce cGMP material as well as develop highly sensitive chemical (LC-MS) and biological (gene expression) fingerprinting methodologies to ensure quality control and consistency of batch preparation. Using high quality cGMP material that has been confirmed to be free of heavy metals and contaminants\, we have conducted phase I and II clinical studies investigating the role of PHY906 as a modulator of irinotecan-based chemotherapy and have shown that it can reduce toxicity\, maintain and even improve quality of life\, and improve clinical efficacy. \nPresented by Edward Chu\, M.D.\, M.M.S.\nDirector\, Albert Einstein Cancer Center\nVice President for Cancer Medicine\, Montefiore Medicine \nJoin here

Over half are still developing the ideas that emerged that weekend\, many in accelerators or connected to advisors met at Invent-a-thon. \nSix months later\, the most investment-ready teams will return to the virtual stage to share their vision with the world and compete for follow-on funding and support. Partner investor groups include AngelMD\, Elevate Capital\, Angel Capital Association\, Portland Seed Fund\, Aventurine\, and TiE Oregon.  \nYou’re invited to cheer on the finalists as they present their big plans in the hopes of getting cash prizes of $20k\, $15k\, and $5k\, plus mentorship and guidance from investors — and then celebrate the winners! \n  \nRegister now\n  \nWednesday\, April 21\, 3–6 Pacific\, online  \n3–3:30 PM: Introduction and keynotes by Patti White (Hemex Health)\, CJ Swamy and Rishi Madhok (Kiddo)\, and Dom Raban (Xploro) \n3:30–5 PM: Pitches + Q&A\, ten minutes per team (7 minute pitch\, 3 minutes Q&A)\, 6–8 teams \n5–5:30 PM: SpatialChat “virtual hallway” networking as the judges deliberate \n5:30–6 PM: Winners announced and celebrated \n  \nThe event kicks off with brief keynotes from three inspiring startups\, each directly addressing Invent-a-thon 2020 themes. Hemex Health touches both early disease detection and rural health care with fast\, low-cost\, high-quality malaria and hemoglobin disorder detection. Kiddo’s bracelet monitors vital signs to inform parents when children with chronic conditions might need medical attention.
