From ng24k at fsu.edu Wed Oct 2 13:24:43 2024 From: ng24k at fsu.edu (Nehja Guillaume) Date: Wed, 2 Oct 2024 17:24:43 +0000 Subject: [Isl] =?windows-1252?q?Brown_Bag_Series_Lecture_Featuring_Dr=2E_?= =?windows-1252?q?Qing-Xiang_=93Amy=94_Sang?= Message-ID: Good afternoon, We would like to announce that we will be having our second Brown Bag Lecture Series talk with Dr. Qing-Xiang ?Amy? Sang on October 30th at 12 PM. We will be serving a light lunch for those attending in person. Title: "Cancer Prevention and Successful Longevity." Abstract: According to the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society, advancing age is the most important risk factor for cancer and for many individual cancer types. The incidence rates for cancer climb steadily as age increases, especially for people over age 65 years. One in two men and one in three women would develop cancer during their lifetime. Scientific and medical research and big data suggest that almost half of the cancer incidence may be prevented. People can reduce their cancer risk by addressing modifiable behaviors that include stopping smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, minimizing UV exposure, managing weight, increasing fitness, eating healthy food, reducing stress, and receiving sufficient medical care. Some cancers are associated with viral infections, such as HPV (human papillomavirus) and hepatitis B. Vaccinations can reduce these risks. According to the US Environment Protection Agency estimates, Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and the second leading cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoking. Genetics may also play a role, so while lifestyle choices are crucial, germline and somatic mutations are part of a broader picture of health. Living a lifestyle that supports cancer prevention and successful longevity involves a combination of healthy habits, regular medical care, clean environment, and self and community care and support. Bio: Dr. Qing-Xiang ?Amy? SANG is a Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, The Diane & Michael Bruton Professor for Cancer Research, and an Endowed Chair Professor of Cancer Research at the Florida State University. She received her Ph.D. degree from Georgetown University Medical School in Washington D.C. in 1990. Dr. Sang obtained her tenure-track Assistant Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry position at FSU in 1997 and was promoted to tenured Associate Professor in 2003, and she received promotion to full Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry at FSU in 2008. She received an individual National Research Service Award, an individual Postdoctoral Fellowship, and a FIRST Award from the National Institutes of Health. She has also won other national awards for her research, including a New Investigator Award from the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program, Department of Defense (DOD); an Exploration-Hypothesis Development Award from the DOD Prostate Cancer Research Program; an breast cancer research award from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure; and a Distinguished Lecturer Award from the Center for Prostate Cancer Research, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, DOD. Dr. Sang together with her students, postdocs, and collaborators published 142 peer-reviewed research papers in high impact journals and these papers were cited 10764+ times, with an h-index of 54 and i10-index of 120 according to Google Scholar. Dr. Sang?s laboratory deciphers the biochemical mechanisms of human breast, prostate, and brain cancer initiation, progression, metabolism, angiogenesis, and invasion for cancer biomarker and drug discovery. Human childhood brain malignant rhabdoid tumor is modeled using induced pluripotent stem cell-derived brain organoids. The gene editing and stem cell technologies are utilized to generate this novel cancer model for drug evaluation for the effective treatment of pediatric brain cancer. Environmental toxins are also evaluated using human cell lines and brain organoids. Professor Sang is an Elected Fellow and a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a member of the American Association for Cancer Research, and the American Chemical Society.

Born on November 6th at 12 PM. We will be serving a light lunch for those attending in person. Title: "Can I Afford to Retire in Florida? An Analysis of the Changing Cost of Living for Florida Retirees" Abstract: In 2022, more than 21% of Florida's population was over 65 years old, making it one of the largest retirement populations in the country. Attractions include warm weather, quality hospital and medical centers, and no state income taxes. The cost of living for retirees in Florida has been historically low, but recent climate events are putting pressure on affordability as the cost of property insurance has increased dramatically. This presentation will explore the implications of climate risks on the long-term viability of Florida?s status as a top retirement destination. Bio: Patty Born is the Midyette Eminent Scholar of Risk Management and Insurance in the Department of Risk Management/Insurance, Real Estate and Legal Studies in the FSU College of Business. Her research focuses on insurance market performance with emphasis on the markets for property coverage and health insurance. She serves on the Florida Commission on Hurricane Loss Projection Methodology and recently worked with the Rockefeller Institute on evaluation of the health insurance Marketplaces established by the Affordable Care Act.

Sang Good afternoon, We would like to announce that we will be having our second Brown Bag Lecture Series talk with Dr. Qing-Xiang ?Amy? Sang on October 30th at 12 PM. We will be serving a light lunch for those attending in person. Title: "Cancer Prevention and Successful Longevity." Abstract: According to the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society, advancing age is the most important risk factor for cancer and for many individual cancer types. The incidence rates for cancer climb steadily as age increases, especially for people over age 65 years. One in two men and one in three women would develop cancer during their lifetime. Scientific and medical research and big data suggest that almost half of the cancer incidence may be prevented. People can reduce their cancer risk by addressing modifiable behaviors that include stopping smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, minimizing UV exposure, managing weight, increasing fitness, eating healthy food, reducing stress, and receiving sufficient medical care. Some cancers are associated with viral infections, such as HPV (human papillomavirus) and hepatitis B. Vaccinations can reduce these risks. According to the US Environment Protection Agency estimates, Radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and the second leading cause of lung cancer after cigarette smoking. Genetics may also play a role, so while lifestyle choices are crucial, germline and somatic mutations are part of a broader picture of health. Living a lifestyle that supports cancer prevention and successful longevity involves a combination of healthy habits, regular medical care, clean environment, and self and community care and support. Bio: Dr. Qing-Xiang ?Amy? SANG is a Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, The Diane & Michael Bruton Professor for Cancer Research, and an Endowed Chair Professor of Cancer Research at the Florida State University. She received her Ph.D. degree from Georgetown University Medical School in Washington D.C. in 1990. Dr. Sang obtained her tenure-track Assistant Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry position at FSU in 1997 and was promoted to tenured Associate Professor in 2003, and she received promotion to full Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry at FSU in 2008. She received an individual National Research Service Award, an individual Postdoctoral Fellowship, and a FIRST Award from the National Institutes of Health. She has also won other national awards for her research, including a New Investigator Award from the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program, Department of Defense (DOD); an Exploration-Hypothesis Development Award from the DOD Prostate Cancer Research Program; an breast cancer research award from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure; and a Distinguished Lecturer Award from the Center for Prostate Cancer Research, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, DOD. Dr. Sang together with her students, postdocs, and collaborators published 142 peer-reviewed research papers in high impact journals and these papers were cited 10764+ times, with an h-index of 54 and i10-index of 120 according to Google Scholar. Dr. Sang?s laboratory deciphers the biochemical mechanisms of human breast, prostate, and brain cancer initiation, progression, metabolism, angiogenesis, and invasion for cancer biomarker and drug discovery. Human childhood brain malignant rhabdoid tumor is modeled using induced pluripotent stem cell-derived brain organoids. The gene editing and stem cell technologies are utilized to generate this novel cancer model for drug evaluation for the effective treatment of pediatric brain cancer. Environmental toxins are also evaluated using human cell lines and brain organoids. Professor Sang is an Elected Fellow and a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a member of the American Association for Cancer Research, and the American Chemical Society.

Happy to let you know that Mayo Clinic Jacksonville is going to hold a Datathon and Data Summit in April 2025. The goal of this event is to create data-driven AI solutions for real-world healthcare problems. Attendees will gain hands-on experiences in AI model development and data analytics and receive mentorship from experts across clinical, data science, and engineering fields. As for students, doctoral students may utilize the GSRC travel grants.. The Provost office is working on a separate option for those who may be ineligible for GSRC, such as PhD students who already have GSRC travel planned this year or masters students who are not eligible for the GSRC program. Please encourage your students to register for this event. It is not guaranteed registration and they are trying to balance teams with different skill sets, but anyone who does not get admitted will get a full refund. If you have any questions, please send an email to me (zhe at fsu.edu). Thanks!
