SUMMARY:Workshop on Applying Advanced AI Workflows in Astronomy and Microscopy
DESCRIPTION:  \nRegister to Attend \nThis one-day workshop will focus on the challenges shared between observational astronomy and modern microscopy workflows. Advances in instrumentation\, computation and data management for both microscopy and astronomy suggest opportunities for the broader scientific community to learn from the challenges common to both fields. The high-velocity\, high-volume data generated by endeavors such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) or the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) will require new techniques and cyberinfrastructure such as that provided by the Pacific Research Platform to handle the data they will produce. Best practices developed in these contexts may be applied to other domains. \nWe will introduce some of the challenges in microscopy and provide a survey of the techniques available to astronomers to deal with the ever-increasing flow of data\, such as adopting streaming workflows (versus file-based workflows)\, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning\, and GPU-accelerated analysis\, as well as storage and data distribution\, approaches that scale to the needs of a global community of researchers engaged in advanced microscopy imaging. \nPlease register by September 4 for this free event. \nProposed Summit Agenda\n9:00 am- 10:00 am Registration \n \n10:00 am -11:00 am Keynote \n11:00 am – 12:00 pm Challenges of Advanced Microscopy Workflows (20 min each) \n12:00 – 1:00 pm Lunch Roundtables \n \n1:00 – 2:00 pm AI in Astronomy (20 Min. each) \n2:00 – 3:00 pm Advanced CI Engineering (20 Min. each) \n3:00 – 3:15 pm Closing Remark  \n3:30 pm Adjourn \n“It turns out that the challenges of peering into the universe are similar to those associated with peering into a microscope.”\n-Larry Smarr\, Principal Investigator of the Pacific Research Platform\, Director\, Qualcomm Institute. \nFunding provided by CITRIS and the Banatao Institute\, UC Santa Cruz and UC Merced\, in collaboration with the Pacific Research Platform.

SUMMARY:Xixi Zhu on “Building a Gene Therapy Company with Scarce Resources"
DESCRIPTION:Biotech * Gene Therapy * Startups \n“Building a Gene Therapy Company with Scarce Resources”\nXixi Zhu \nVice President\, Business Development and Operations \nDNAlite Therapeutics \nAbout the Speaker: \nXixi Zhu brings her operation and business development expertise to DNAlite Therapeutics. She was previously an analyst for venture capital funds Laurel Ventures (China)\, Forbion Capital Partners (The Netherlands)\, and 4Bio Capital Partners (United Kingdom) investing in early-stage therapeutics companies. Xixi holds an MPhil in Bioscience Enterprise from Cambridge University and an MPhil in Neuroscience from University College London. \nDNAlite Therapeutics is an early-stage preclinical biotechnology company committed to bringing the next-generation of drugs to organs protected by mucus barriers. \nThe company was accelerated in the seventh cohort of the CITRIS Foundrystartup program and co-founded by UC Berkeley graduates Mubhij Ahmad\, M.S. Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (’16) and Timothy Day\, Ph.D. Neuroscience (’17). \nTalk Abstract: \nThe outstanding innovation hubs arising throughout the Bay Area has made starting a biotechnology company as graduate students possible. Much like a science project\, the life of a start-up company is not straightforward\, but there are some common milestones from birth to growth and success or failure. Success is hardly replicable\, but we can learn how to not fail by learning from our predecessors’ mistakes. After all\, the only real preparation to build a company is by building a company. \nAbout the Series:\nLaunched in 2008\, the CITRIS Research Exchange delivers fresh perspectives on information technology and society from distinguished academic\, industry\, and civic leaders. Join us this fall to celebrate 10 years of innovative ideas and dialogue. \nLearn more about CITRIS and the Banatao Institute at the University of California. \n—- \nThe CITRIS Research Exchange is free and open to the public. Each one-hour seminar starts at 12pm Pacific time and is hosted live at Sutardja Dai Hall on the UC Berkeley campus\, unless otherwise noted. Register online by Monday prior for a complimentary lunch inside the auditorium. \n\nLive broadcast at https://www.youtube.com/user/citrisuc/live.\nJoin the conversation on Twitter: @citrisnews #CITRISRE.\nAll talks may be viewed on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/citrisuc/playlists.\nJoin our mailing list to receive the latest news\, event announcements\, and cutting-edge research updates from CITRIS and the Banatao Institute!

SUMMARY:Putting AI to Work
DESCRIPTION:Register to Attend \nPutting AI to Work: Technology and Policy for Enabling the Workforce of the Future\nWhen: Sept. 25 | 10:00 am -4:30 pm\, Reception to Follow \nWhere: 310 Banatao Auditorium\, Sutardja Dai Hall\, UC Berkeley \nAgenda & Registration: puttingaitowork.eventbrite.com \nArtificial Intelligence (AI)\, machine learning\, and assistive technologies will transform the future of work\, with wide-ranging effects on employment\, wages\, and income distribution. Despite dystopian forecasts of robots replacing workers\, AI and intelligent tools can also be applied to make the workforce more inclusive. As industries evolve\, how can AI be used to extend productive professional activity\, expand the available labor pool\, support lifelong learning\, and enhance human labor rather than replace it\, especially for the aging and those with disabilities? \nHosted by CITRIS and the Banatao Institute and Microsoft\, “Putting AI to Work” will bring together leading scholars\, practitioners\, industry representatives\, and community organizations to discuss the pace and extent of the effects of AI on the future of work in relation to aging and disability. Panelists will consider a range of issues regarding workforce\, technology and design trends for target populations\, and policy questions for a new era of automated and adaptive workplaces. \nPreliminary results from a CITRIS white paper will be presented\, sharing case study examples and recommendations for the private and public sectors to ensure development and application of AI that supports a diverse workforce and further strengthens social safety nets for all. \nClick Here to View Agenda & Register to Attend \nAdmission includes lunch and reception. Holders of “Faculty\, Staff or Students” and “Non-profit/Gov” tickets will receive a full refund after registering at and attending the symposium on Sept. 25. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact Dr. Brandie Nonnecke (nonnecke@citris-uc.org)
