The Sino-American Pharmaceutical Professionals Association–New England/Boston (SAPA-NE) is glad to announce that SAPA-NE 2022 Bimonthly Workshop - November Efficient on-target delivery of oligonucleotides (and beyond): in vitro and in vivo performance of Sapreme’s endosomal escape enhancers for various tissues and targets, will be held in 7 days. The workshop will be presented by Dr. Miriam Bujny, Chief Development Officer at Sapreme Technologies BV. This event will be held virtually on Wednesday, Nov 2, 2022, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT (美东时间).

 

Please contact us at info@sapa-neweb.org if you have any membership or registration-related questions. 

 


Keypoints

  • Sapreme’s endosomal escape enhancers optimize cytoplasmic release to reveal full efficacy

  • Delivery of oligonucleotides and protein therapeutics with broad applicability

  • Targeting through ligand-conjugation to increase cell/tissue-specificity

 

Abstract

For most current therapeutic oligonucleotide formats, attaining sufficiently high levels of cytoplasmic or nuclear target engagement while keeping off-target toxicities at bay remains problematic, as most compound remains trapped in the endosomes. Sapreme’s technologies allow for highly relevant improvements in potency by enabling efficient endosomal escape. Moreover, it allows for exquisite tissue- or cell selective targeting through the use of targeting ligands, including GalNAc for hepatic targeting, and antibodies or other ligands for non-hepatic tissues.

Here, we will present select in vitro and in vivo data to illustrate the versatility and general applicability of Sapreme’s endosomal escape technologies for different tissues and targets. Specifically, we will show data to support that in vivo gene expression knock-down achieved with Sapreme’s endosomal escape technology occurs at substantially reduced oligonucleotide doses, for example in the liver. Furthermore, we will share data showing longer term persistence of relevant downstream biomarkers, demonstrating improved cytoplasmic delivery does not preclude convenient dosing schedules. Combined with a benign tox profile, this supports an attractive developability profile. Lastly, we will highlight how such concepts translate to extrahepatic tissue targeting for diverse payloads, including oligonucleotides and protein payloads, to illustrate the general applicability of Sapreme’s platform.

数字科技下的精准精神健康治疗

医路领航研讨会 第四期

在世界范围内,大约有七分之一的人曾患有精神健康疾病,而且这个比例还在持续增长。除了未满足的医疗需求外,精神健康疾病还会导致社会生产力下降约35%,人均预期寿命缩短10-25年,从而导致巨大的社会和经济负担。一方面,早期筛查和诊断以及进行早期干预治疗可以有效地延迟甚至预防疾病的发作,并最大程度地减少对患者和家庭造成的情感和经济损失。另一方面,从长远角度来看,持续的随访和治疗进展监测对于预防复发和提高患者的生活质量至关重要。但是,与当前护理模式中的疗法相比,预防和随访在很大程度上被忽略了


通过先进的人工智能算法和多模式大数据,数字化精神健康产品现在能够捕获个人的数字化生物标记物,从而在整个连续治疗过程中提供个性化护理,包括提供早期诊断、治疗建议以及进行持续的患者监测。


我们很荣幸地邀请到了两位来自数字化精神健康治疗领域的发展先驱公司的演讲嘉宾,与我们分享他们的公司愿景,以及他们对数字化精神健康治疗未来的看法:Paul Dagum博士(Mindstrong的创始人和前首席执行官),Sharief Taraman博士(Cognoa首席医务官。Cognoa专注于儿童神经发育障碍的治疗,例如自闭症和注意缺陷与多动障碍;Mindstrong关注对严重的精神障碍的治疗。

7月11日 OCEAN-BIO SEMINAR:中美投资并购中的国家安全审查和出口管制问题

 OCEAN BIO 海华会生物分会 2 days ago
2020年02月13日,美国财政部于今年年初颁布的全面实施《2018年外国投资风险审查现代化法案》(Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018)(“FIRRMA”)的两项最终实施条例(“实施条例”)正式生效实施。


FIRRMA及其实施条例正式施行后,有可能给未来的中美投资及并购带来“寒蝉效应”。中美投资并购活动将面临更为复杂的监管环境,必须及时从国家安全审查角度进行有效的评估,并据此提前进行合适的筹划安排。

The 11th CABA MDDI SYMPOSIUM

















11th MDDI
Precision Medicine


The 11th CABA Medical Device and Diagnostics Innovation Symposium (MDDI), co-sponsored by NECINA and HMS CSSA, is scheduled for Saturday, December 14th, 2019 at the Conference Center at Waltham Woods, 860 Winter St, Waltham, MA 02451.  

The annual MDDI Symposium is a major CABA event that attracts prominent entrepreneurs, investors, biotech and pharmaceutical executives, academic and industry scientists, as well as professionals in the legal, financial, and healthcare industries, both locally and internationally. Past symposiums were extremely well attended. More than 200 professional attendees will be expected.

The theme of this symposium is “Precision Medicine”. Tailoring medical treatment to the individual characteristics of each patient not only has the potential for better therapeutic outcomes, but also provides crucial information for healthcare decision-making. A holistic assessment of patients' data, including genomic, epigenetic, and clinical information, will offer great insights on and better approaches to effective treatment. Topics of the symposium will include classification of human cells into subpopulations for CAR-T therapy, application of AI in kidney pathologic diagnosis, and novel biomarkers on clinical mass spectrometry for better maternity diseases management.

綠葉製藥Rykindo®有望成為我國首個在美獲批上市的創新藥

作為國家“重大新藥創制”科技重大專項之一,備受關注的自主研發新藥——注射用利培酮緩釋微球Rykindo®LY03004)已於美國東部時間328日,正式向美國食品藥品監督管理局(“FDA”)提交NDA新藥上市申請,有望成為我國首個在美獲批上市的創新藥。

綠葉製藥此次申報Rykindo®被業界視為一大里程碑,意味著公司投入多年的長效緩釋製劑研發平臺成功突破產業化瓶頸。這不僅是綠葉製藥全球化戰略中的關鍵一步,也是中國在全球製劑創新舞臺上邁出的一大步,受到各界廣泛關注。通過製劑開發、CMC及工藝優化、產能放大,註冊審評、商業化籌備等層層考驗,綠葉製藥已為Rykindo®及後續多個創新製劑的全球上市做好充分準備。

Rykindo®是綠葉製藥自主研發的緩釋微球製劑,以肌肉注射的方式每兩周給藥一次,治療精神分裂症和雙向情感障礙。此次提交的NDA新藥申請包含了一項關鍵性及兩項支持性臨床試驗的結果,共涉及172名美國病患。該項關鍵研究顯示:與利培酮長效注射劑的市場參照產品相比,首次注射Rykindo®後並無滯後期,且具有相等穩態藥代動力學。在所有三項研究中,Rykindo®與參照產品的安全性基本相似;在療效上,Rykindo®首次注射後三周毋須再服用口服製劑,且能更快達到穩態血藥濃度。Rykindo®上市後,可改善口服抗精神病藥物在精神分裂症患者中普遍存在的用藥依從性,每兩周給藥一次,將簡化精神分裂症的療程。

綠葉製藥預計,Rykindo®有望於2019年至2020年在美國和中國先後上市。與此同時,該新藥在歐盟和其他新興國家或地區的註冊也在同步順利推進中。

Rykindo®所處的中樞神經用藥領域,全球患者人群異常龐大且不斷增加。綠葉製藥在該治療領域進行的一系列佈局,將成為其下一階段業務增長的關鍵發力點。目前,公司已上市的中樞神經藥物包括:思瑞康及其緩釋片、卡巴拉汀單日貼片、芬太尼貼片、丁丙諾啡貼片等,這些產品覆蓋全球80多個國家和地區,包括中國、美國、歐盟、日本等主要醫藥市場,以及快速增長的國際新興市場。後續在研產品線中,另有注射用羅替戈汀緩釋微球(LY03003)、鹽酸安舒法辛緩釋片(LY03005)、帕利呱酮緩釋混懸注射劑(LY03010)、卡巴拉汀多日貼片(LY30410)等中樞神經新藥已在中國和海外同步進行開發。公司期待將更多優質創新的原研藥品帶給全球患者

綠葉製藥集團管理層表示:我們將全力推進Rykindo®在美國和中國的上市,並加速多個已處於NDA準備階段、III期及關鍵臨床階段的新藥的註冊進度。我們期待綠葉製藥能把更多優質創新的原研藥品帶給有需要的全球患者!”

ISCT publishes annual report on cell and gene therapy market authorisations

Report to enable patients and entire cell therapy community to identify treatments approved by government regulatory authorities

Vancouver, Canada, November 20, 2018 – ISCT, the International Society for Cell and Gene Therapy, the global professional society of clinicians, researchers, regulatory specialists, technologists and industry partners in the cell and gene therapy sector, today announces the first publication of its new annual report detailing global cell and gene therapies (CGT) with market authorization.

The CGT market authorization report is intended to provide a centralized resource and increased clarity for all of those involved in the CGT industry. This involves the scientific community, healthcare stakeholders and patient associations. The report will be a regularly updated document that will be republished yearly, and accessible through the ISCT website, www.celltherapysociety.org, and www.isct-unprovencellulartherapies.org.  

The report has been designed to react to the increase in momentum around a widening number of CGT authorizations, as well as a parallel increase of unproven approaches where cells are delivered as treatments without rigorous scientific and regulatory assessment and authorization. 

The report has been prepared by select members of the ISCT Presidential Task Force (PTF) on the Use of Unproven and/or Unethical Cell & Gene Therapies (UCGT) with lead authors Natividad Cuende (Executive Director, Andalusian Initiative for Advanced Therapies, Seville, Spain) and Laertis Ikonomou (Assistant Professor of Medicine, Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, MA). The ISCT Presidential Task Force was formed in 2014 to support ISCT’s ongoing commitment to address the rise of commercially available unproven or insufficiently proven CGT treatments. These approaches are targeted at hopeful individuals seeking cures or health improvement for a variety of conditions. The PTF-UCGT characterizes unproven cellular interventions and promotes safe and effective practices worldwide. 

The reliable, up-to-date resource will help patients to make informed decisions before receiving a CGT treatment so that they can avoid being exposed to unproven and unlicensed cell interventions not approved by a regulatory or medicine agency.

The report also provides an annual breakdown of CGTs that have received, as well in some cases, have withdrawn, market approval. This includes analysis on types of product and therapy as well as disease targeted. 44 unique products were identified. 84% were cell and tissue therapies, and 55% were autologous. More than one third target oncological or hematologic conditions. 

In the US, there are over 16 cell, tissue and gene products with marketing authorization, 14 in Korea, eight in Europe, four in India and Japan, two in Canada, and one each in China and Australia. This contrasts with Russia, Middle East, Africa, Central and South America, which have no CGT market authorizations or data available. 

“The number of market approved cell and gene therapy treatments continues to grow, with a high number of other therapies seeking approval. It is critical for all those involved in the sector, and most importantly those patients that may benefit from newly approved treatments, to have an annually updated resource detailing all approved cell and gene therapies,” said Massimo Dominici, Chair of the ISCT Presidential Task Force on Unproven and Unethical Cell & Gene Therapies. “This resource will give patients visibility on what cell and gene therapies have gone through proper approval processes, and help them alongside physicians to make more informed decisions about their treatment.”


In tandem with the efforts of professional societies like ISCT, it is imperative that the regulatory environment and guidance keep pace with the rapid advancements in cell and gene therapy. As such, this report also supports ISCT the FDA’s continued publication of numerous draft CGT guidance documents in 2018.

张季哈佛中医论坛講座簡介
1. 七方理論臨床運用心得
“七方“學說始見於《內經》。七方,即指大方、小方、緩方、急方、奇方,偶方、複方。歷代
醫家如金代張元素《醫學啟源》、張子和《儒門事親》、成無己《傷寒明理論》、明代李時珍《
本草綱目》均有闡發補充。國內各版高等中醫院校教材《方劑學》均認為“七方”為最早的方劑
分類法,臨床醫師多因其簡約古老而棄之不用;查閱中醫藥文獻,亦鮮見有關七方的理論與臨床
研究論文。而張季中醫師在臨床中體會到“七方“是指導臨床組方的利器,是提高臨床療效的法
寶,多年來鍥而不捨地研究“七方“理論的臨床應用,頗有心得。此次講座將結合臨床多個成功
案例分別加以詳細闡述。
2. 升陽益氣諸方劑在脾胃病的應用體會
胃腸道疾病在美國社會常見,與飲食不調和過重的精神壓力有密切關係,也有因長期使用西藥的
副作用而引發或加重。脾胃病為中醫之擅長。其治則不外疏肝解鬱,理氣止痛,益氣健脾,化濕
助運,活血化瘀,溫腎暖脾等等。但是對於一些疑難病症的治療,療效亦不甚滿意,張季中醫師
在脾胃病治療方面,宗金元易水學派張元素、李東垣等醫家的學說,在臨床中以臟腑標本虛實用
藥和升陽益氣、升陽除濕、升陽散火、升陽瀉濁法相結合,有一些體會,這次講座並將提供一些

WUXI BIOLOGICS TO INVEST $60 MILLION TO ESTABLISH A BIOLOGICS PRODUCTION FACILITY IN THE UNITED STATES

WuXi Biologics to Invest $60 Million to Establish a Biologics Production Facility in the United States
– WuXi Biologics’ first overseas site in the United States
2018/06/11
WORCESTER, MA and SHANGHAI, June 11, 2018 – WuXi Biologics (2269.HK), a leading global open-access biologics technology platform company offering end-to-end solutions for biologics discovery, development and manufacturing, today announced that it is to invest $60 million and hire approximately 150 employees to establish a state-of-the-art biologics clinical and commercial manufacturing facility in Worcester, Massachusetts in the United States. The facility will be WuXi Biologics’ 11th global drug substance manufacturing facility (MFG11).
WuXi Biologics is a leading global platform company providing end-to-end solutions for biologics with a mission to accelerate and transform biologics discovery, development and manufacturing to benefit patients around the world.
This state-of-the-art “facility of the future” will be built upon the novel approach that WuXi Biologics has pioneered in deploying single-use bioreactors. It is also designed to run continuous bioprocessing, a next-generation manufacturing technology to be implemented in America for the first time. A total of approximately 4,500 L bioreactor capacity will be installed with two 2,000 L traditional fed-batch and one 500 L perfusion-based continuous processing. This facility will handle both clinical and small volume commercial production. An early-stage bioprocess development lab will also be included.
The new manufacturing facility supported by the Government of Massachusetts, the Worcester Business Development Corporation (WBDC) and the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC), is the Company’s first overseas site in the United States, as well as the third outside China subsequent to Ireland and Singapore new sites.
“Massachusetts is home to one of the world’s most dynamic life sciences ecosystems, with leading companies, top-tier academic institutions, and a globally-competitive workforce,” said Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker. “We are enriched when companies grow and invest here and are pleased to welcome WuXi Biologics’ expansion.”
“Having met WuXi Biologics’ leaders during their recent trip to Worcester, I am confident that they will contribute greatly to the city’s life sciences industry,” said Ms. Karyn Polito, Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts. “I have been pleased to work on the development of Worcester Biomanufacturing Park and our Administration remains committed to supporting our public private partnership.”
“The City of Worcester is thrilled to welcome WuXi Biologics as its first tenant to the new Biomanufacturing Park,” said Worcester City Manager, Edward M. Augustus Jr.. “As a growing destination in the global biomedical market, the city looks forward to officially opening this impressive campus and is eager to host WuXi Biologics in their first US manufacturing facility.”
“We are delighted that WuXi Biologics has chosen the United States, Massachusetts, but most importantly Worcester. We competed very hard for this one and we prevailed. The Baker / Polito Administration and the City of Worcester stepped up to make this possible. Another great day for Worcester,” said Mr. Craig L. Blais, President and CEO of WBDC.
“We are excited to reach this important milestone on developing WuXi Biologics’ first US bio-manufacturing facility and to announce their intention to move to Worcester,” said Mr. Travis McCready, President and CEO of MLSC. “WuXi Biologics brings a global biologics manufacturing expertise that will enhance our life sciences ecosystem and help Massachusetts biopharma companies develop novel therapies quickly and efficiently. We look forward to continuing to work to finalize this project.”
“Metropolitan Boston is acknowledged as a leader in the biopharmaceutical industry. The new site plays a key role in WuXi Biologics’ global bio-manufacturing network to ensure that biologics are manufactured at the highest quality and within a robust supply chain to benefit patients worldwide. We are grateful for all the support local agencies and the talented people here have provided for us. We believe we can quickly push forward this exciting project,” said Dr. Ge Li, Chairman of WuXi Biologics.
Dr. Chris Chen, CEO of WuXi Biologics, added, “The new site will undoubtedly meet WuXi Biologics’ growing need for biologics development and manufacturing in the near future. Many partners of WuXi Biologics are located within two hours of this new site. We are all very excited to initiate our first US site to enable local companies and expedite biologics development in the United States. We are committed to becoming the most comprehensive capability and technology platform in the global biologics industry to enable both local and global partners.”

​​CAR-T cell therapy is a gene therapy in which patients’ white blood cells are genetically engineered to fight their own cancer.  Achieving more than 90% remission rate in patients with advanced blood cancers, this innovative immunotherapy offers new hope to dying children and adults with advanced blood cancers.  Though powerful in treating advanced blood cancers, conventional CAR-T is futile in fighting solid tumors due to the drawbacks and limitation imposed by the viral vectors used in CAR-T cell engineering.  GenomeFrontier is poised to change the outlook for patients with otherwise incurable advanced solid cancers by confronting this very challenge with bold solutions using our core technologies including Quantum pBAc, a revolutionized non-viral genetic system capable of loading 30 times more genes than the viral method and an innovative cell culture system designed for expending engineered CAR-T cells to a therapeutic quantity while maintaining its potency.  With these revolutionary technologies, we are developing universal super CAR-T therapies for solid cancers which are virus-free, reversible, and potent enough for treating a wide-range of cancers in a much safer fashion than the conventional CAR-T therapies.

Invited Speakers
George Daley, MD, PhDHarvard Medical School, Boston Children’s Hospital
Dr. George Q. Daley seeks to translate insights in stem cell biology into improved therapies for genetic and malignant diseases. Important research contributions from his laboratory include the creation of customized stem cells to treat genetic immune deficiency in a mouse model (together with Rudolf Jaenisch), the differentiation of germ cells from embryonic stem cells (cited as a “Top Ten Breakthrough” by Science magazine in 2003), and the generation of disease-specific pluripotent stem cells by direct reprogramming of human fibroblasts (cited in the “Breakthrough of the Year” issue of Science magazine in 2008). As a graduate student working with Nobel Laureate Dr. David Baltimore, Dr. Daley demonstrated that the BCR/ABL oncogene induces chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in a mouse model, which validated BCR/ABL as a target for drug blockade and encouraged the development of imatinib (GleevecTM; Novartis), a revolutionary magic-bullet chemotherapy that induces remissions in virtually every CML patient. Dr. Daley’s recent studies have clarified mechanisms of Gleevec resistance and informed novel combination chemotherapeutic regimens.
Dr. Daley received his bachelor's degree magna cum laude from Harvard University (1982), a Ph.D. in biology from MIT (1989), and the M.D. from Harvard Medical School, where he was one of twelve individuals in the school’s history to be awarded the degree summa cum laude (1991). He served as Chief Resident in Internal Medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital (94-95) and is currently a staff physician in Hematology/Oncology at the Children's Hospital and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, and a member of the Hematology Division of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. He has been elected the National Academy of Medicine(NAM), the American Society for Clinical Investigation, the American Association of Physicians, and the American Pediatric Societies, and is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (AAAS) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
  
Xiang-Dong Fu, PhDDepartment of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, University of California, San Diego
Dr. Fu’s laboratory is interested in molecular and cell biology of RNA metabolism and regulation in higher eukaryotic cells. Current research interests in the Fu lab include the regulation of alternative splicing, functional RNA elements in mammalian genomes, transcription/splicing coupling, nuclear architecture, and cellular reprogramming. Dr. Fu was a major contributor for co-discovery of SR proteins, a family of RNA binding proteins involved in constitutive and alternative pre-mRNA processing. His laboratory was the first to identify a family of kinases specific for SR proteins and demonstrated that these kinases are critical for transducing external and intracellular signals to regulate alternative splicing in the nucleus. Dr. Fu's group elucidated a series of regulatory mechanisms for splice site selection in mammalian cells and developed multiple key technologies for high throughput analysis of gene expression, mRNA isoforms, and genomic interactions. Dr. Fu's current research is focused on integrated regulation of gene expression at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Dr. Fu's contribution to biomedical science has been recognized by selection for the Searle Scholar award (1994) and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Scholar award (1997) and election to Fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science (2010).
Dr. Fu is a Professor of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at University of California, San Diego. Dr. Fu received his MS degree in Virology from Wuhan University, China in 1982, PhD degree in Biochemistry from Case Western Reserve University in 1988 (via the CUSBEA program), and postdoctoral training at Harvard from 1988 to 1992. Dr. Fu joined the faculty of University of California, San Diego in 1992 (Assistant Professor, 1992-1998; Associate Professor, 1998 to 2002; and Full Professor, 2002-present).

Rudolf Jaenisch, PhD
Founding Member of Whitehead InstituteDepartment of Biology, MIT
Dr. Jaenisch lab’s expertise is in epigenetics, reprogramming and stem cells. Dr. Jaenisch began his research career as a pioneer making transgenic mice, some of which have produced important advances in understanding cancer, neurological and connective tissue diseases, and developmental abnormalities. These methods have been used to explore basic questions such as the role of DNA modification, genomic imprinting, X chromosome inactivation, nuclear cloning, and, most recently, the nature of stem cells. In addition, using mice as a model and a technique called “altered nuclear transfer,” Dr. Jaenisch has demonstrated that it is possible to procure embryonic stem cells without harming a viable embryo. More recently he has demonstrated that somatic cells can be reprogrammed in vitro to pluripotent ES-like cells and that these cells are suitable to correct both genetic and induced defects in mice by transplantation therapy. Using this technique for turning skin cells into stem cells, the lab has been able to cure mice of sickle cell anemia -- the first direct proof that these easily obtained cells can reverse an inherited disease.
Dr. Jaenisch is a Professor of Biology at MIT and a founding member of the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research. He has been granted numerous awards from organizations across the world. He is a pioneer of transgenic science, in which an animal’s genetic makeup is altered. Jaenisch has focused on creating genetically modified mice to study cancer and neurological diseases. Dr. Jaenisch received his doctorate in medicine from the University of Munich in 1967. He became a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute in Munich, studying bacteriophages. He left Germany in 1970 for research positions at Princeton University, Fox Chase Institute for Cancer Research and the Salk Institute. He returned to Germany in 1977 to become the head of the Department of Tumor Virology at the Heinrich Pette Institute at the University of Hamburg. He arrived at MIT in 1984. He participated in the 2005 science conference on human cloning at the United Nations and serves on the science advisory boards of the Genetics Policy Institute and Stemgent.

Xi He, PhDBoston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School
Dr. He’s laboratory seeks to understand the molecular basis of cell-to-cell communication, and how this communication regulates embryonic and neural development in vertebrates. Dr. He is also interested in learning how defective regulation of cell communication causes human cancers and diseases. In particular, Dr. He is investigating signaling mechanisms employed by secreted growth factors of the Wnt family, which play critical roles in establishing the anterior-posterior axis of the embryo and underlie the formation of head versus trunk regions during early embryogenesis. Wnt signaling pathways are also pivotal in the development of human cancers--as several key Wnt signaling components are encoded by human oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes--and in the pathogenesis of many human diseases, such as osteoporosis and degenerative disorders. Dr. He aims to identify molecular components of Wnt signaling pathways and the mechanisms by which Wnt pathways are activated and governed during embryonic development and human tumorigenesis. 
Dr. He received his bachelor’s degree in engineering at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), Wuhan, China, and Ph.D. in Dr. Michael G. Rosenfeld’s lab at University of California, San Diego (UCSD). After his postdoctoral training with Dr. Harold Varmus at National Cancer Institute (NCI), Dr. He became an Assistant Professor at Boston Children’s Hospital in 1997. He was promoted to professor in 2007. Dr. He was a Pew Scholar, a Klingenstein Fellow, a W. M. Keck Distinguished Young Scholar and a Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Scholar. Dr. He received the Young Investigator Award from the Society of Chinese Bioscientists in America (SCBA) in 2004, and holds a Chang Jiang Guest Professorship and 1000 Talent Plan (B) Professorship at HUST. Dr. He is an elected Fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science and an American Cancer Society Research Professor. He has served on numerous review and advisory boards in academia and the biopharmaceutical industry in the USA, Canada, EU, UK and China.

William Pu, MDBoston Children's Hospital, Harvard Medical School
The Pu lab is interested in the regulation of gene expression and cell lineage specification in heart development, disease, and regeneration using various technologies including genetically engineered mice, conditional gene inactivation, genome-wide chromatin occupancy analysis, and RNA expression profiling. The major goals of Dr. Pu's research include: 1. To understand the transcriptional network regulating heart development and disease; 2. To understand cell lineage specification in heart development and regeneration; 3. To understand genetic contributions to congenital heart disease.
Dr. Pu received an MD from Harvard Medical School. He completed his internship, residence, and pediatric cardiology training at Boston Children’s Hospital. Dr. Pu has been an independent PI since 2004 and has an established track record of innovation in cardiovascular biology. Dr. Pu has 19 successful postdoctoral fellow “alumni”. Among those, 12 remain in academic medicine, 11 have faculty appointments, and 8 are PIs of independent research labs in Europe, North America, and China. Dr. Pu is also the contact PI of the Boston Children’s Hospital Department of Cardiology T32 training grant and the Director of Basic and Translational Cardiovascular Research for the Department of Cardiology at Boston Children’s Hospital.

Jean Zhao, PhDDana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School 
Dr. Zhao’s research centers on understanding kinase signaling pathways in cancer. Her laboratory has pioneered a new front for understanding signal transduction by integrating mouse genetics, chemical biology and immunology in the field of translational cancer research. Her productive and insightful work on deciphering the role of PI3-kinase isoforms and the cyclin D1-CDK4/6 pathway in cancer not only addresses important basic science questions, but also has had a significant clinical impact. By providing a mechanistic understanding of the synergies gained for targeting PI3K isoforms and CDK4/6 in combination with immune checkpoint blockade in cancer, her lab has guided the design of current clinical trials of integrating immunotherapy and targeted therapy both here at DFCI and internationally. 
Dr. Jean Zhao is a Professor of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at Harvard Medical School (HMS) and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI). Dr. Zhao has been widely recognized for her innovation and excellence in the field. After obtaining her Ph.D. degree with honors from Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston, Dr. Zhao completed her postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Dr. Thomas M. Roberts at DFCI. Dr. Zhao began her independent research at HMS and DFCI in 2006. Her honors and awards include the Career Development Awards from NIH/NCI, the V Scholar Award, the Starr Foundation Award and, recently, the Outstanding Investigator Award from NIH/NCI. Dr. Zhao serves as a member on multiple scientific boards and committees, including the Executive Committee for Research and the Committee for Women Faculty at DFCI, the Steering Committee of Breast Cancer at DF/Harvard Cancer Center and the Advisory Council of the National Brain Tumor Society.

Wenyi Wei, PhDBeth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School
The major focus of research in Dr. Wei’s laboratory is aimed at understanding how APC and SCF activities contribute towards cell cycle regulation and subsequent tumor formation. More specifically, Dr. Wei is interested in elucidating the underlying mechanisms that define the oscillation of APC and SCF activity in different cell cycle phases. Currently, he is pursuing the underlying mechanisms that timely regulate APC/Cdh1 activity in different cell cycle phases. Additionally, Dr. Wei is also interested in understanding whether other layers of crosstalk between the APC and SCF complex exist. Furthermore, Dr. Wei would like to identify novel downstream targets for both APC and SCF complexes, which will help pinpoint their functions in both cell cycle control and tumor formation. To this end, Dr. Wei has developed biochemical purification approaches that would allow him to identify novel downstream targets for APC/Cdh1 and SCF/Fbw7 complexes. In addition, he is also interested in defining the tumor suppressor function of Cdh1 utilizing conditional Cdh1 knockout mice. To achieve these goals, Dr. Wei’s lab will use multidisciplinary approaches including biochemical and genetic analysis. 
Dr. Wenyi Wei received his B.A. degree from Shandong University in 1993 and then obtained his M.S. training in Chinese Academy of Science from 1993 to 1996. Afterwards Dr. Wei received his Ph.D. training in the Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology & Biochemistry (MCB) at Brown University and his postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Dr. William Kaelin, Jr. at DFCI and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Wei became independent from 2006 in Department Pathology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Department of Pathology at Harvard Medical School. 


Nathanael Gray, PhD
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School
Dr. Nathanael Gray’s research utilizes the tools of synthetic chemistry, protein biochemistry, and cancer biology to discover and validate new strategies for the inhibition of anti-cancer targets. Dr. Gray’s research has had broad impact in the areas of kinase inhibitor design and in circumventing drug resistance. Dr. Gray has established a discovery chemistry group that focuses on developing first-in-class inhibitors for newly emerging biological targets, including resistant alleles of existing targets, as well as inhibitors of well-validated targets, such as Her3 and RAS, that have previously been considered recalcitrant to small molecule drug development. Amongst the additional notable achievements of Dr. Gray’s research laboratory are: development of the first T790M selective EGFR inhibitors, ATP-competitive mTor inhibitor, Torin1, and its use to discover that rapamycin is an incomplete inhibitor of mTOR; development of the first inhibitors of ERK5 (BMK1), CDK7 and CDK12. 
Dr. Gray received his PhD in organic chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in 1999 after receiving his BS degree with the highest honor award from the same institution in 1995. After completing his PhD, Dr. Gray was recruited to the newly established Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation (GNF) in San Diego, California. In 2006, Dr. Gray returned to academia and accepted a faculty appointment at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School in Boston. Dr. Gray’s scientific contributions have been recognized through numerous awards including the Career Award of the National Science Foundation in 2007, the Damon Runyon Foundation Innovator award in 2008, the American Association for Cancer Research for Team Science in 2010 and for Outstanding Achievement in 2011 and the American Chemical Society award for Biological Chemistry in 2011.

Jiahuai Wang, PhDDana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School
Dr. Wang’s lab has been focusing on structures of cell surface receptors that play critical roles in the immune system and nervous system. In collaboration with colleagues within Dana-Farber and Harvard Medical School, the Wang lab has worked out structures of a number of key immune molecules, including T cell receptors, MHC molecules, co-receptors and their interacting complexes. His group has also determined structures of many cell adhesion molecules, such as CD2, CD58, Cadherin, ICAM family members and the complexes with their interacting partners. More recently he begins to turn his interests into neuronal receptors. Most recently in collaboration with a group at EMBL, Hamburg, Dr. Wang has determined the structure of netrin-1 in complex with DCC, uncovering the molecular mechanism of netrin-1 bi-functionality, a long-standing puzzle in the neuroscience field.
Dr. Jiahuai Wang obtained his B.A from the University of Science and Technology of China in 1963 and an equivalent Ph.D. from the Beijing Biophysics Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1979. He had worked in Biophysics Institute in the period of 1963-1979. During 1979-1982, he was a visiting scholar at University of Wisconsin at Madison and at Harvard University, the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. In 1982-1988 he was back in Beijing Biophysics Institute, promoted to Associate Professor and later Professor. He served as director of Protein Crystallography Department there in 1987-1988. He was appointed as a member of National 863 Committee of Biotechnology of China in 1986-1990.
