Celebrating Women’s History Month, BACE organized a Fireside Chat with Female Entrepreneurs and Investors.  We talked about the challenges and rewards of their craft – building new ventures, and the insights gained as they pursue some of the most challenging of career paths. We covered topics from exciting trends in life sciences, through advice forContinue reading “BACE Special Event: Fireside Chat with Female Entrepreneurs and Investors – March 2024”

In this BACE event, we dove into the intricate world of long-distance chromatin interactions, the layer of epigenetic regulation that we are still only beginning to understand. We heard from two scientists on their ongoing research in this domain: Lea Kiefer – Postdoctoral fellow Daniele Canzio Canzio Lab “Cohesin Dynamics Define Protocadherin Isoform Diversity Required forContinue reading “BACE and Arima Genomics In-Person Event on 3D Chromatin Interactions – May 2023”

BACE partnered with Illumina Accelerator this February to host a joint in person event featuring startup companies breaking ground in the space of genomics and epigenomics. We enjoyed a lively discussion, learnt about the power of genomics today, and imagined the future of multi-omics together. The event opened with a Welcome and Introduction to BACEContinue reading “BACE & Illumina Accelerator in person event – February 2023”

In 2022, BACE continued its mission of exploring novel technologies and topics where epigenetics gains momentum and impact. Epigenetics in Cell Therapy In the most recent event, we explored the area of tremendous interest in biotechnology today – cell therapy. As the cell therapy field races towards next levels of efficacy and attempts to addressContinue reading “BACE 2022 – Year in Review”

Epigenetic mechanisms may hold the key to breakthroughs in cell therapy. In October, we met to explore this exciting emerging field. We opened the event with the talk by Ran Jing, Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard Medical School. Ran walked us through his exciting work on the role of epigenetic regulation in T cell differentiation. InContinue reading “BACE Event on Epigenetics in Cell Therapy – October 2022”

In the August 2022 BACE event we followed the lead of Cardea Bio and crossed the boundaries between biology and electronics. Cardea Bio is the the first company integrating biologics with graphene semiconductors to create BPUs™ – Biosignal Processing Units. We learnt about the potential applications of BPUs, and hear from CRISPR QC – aContinue reading “BACE New Technology Showcase: Cardea Bio – August 2022”

In anticipation of the National Autism Awareness month in April 2022, this BACE event featured two epigeneticists, sharing their research discoveries on the epigenetic mechanisms in autism and neurodevelopment.  Hosted by Sofia Kyriazopoulou-Panagiotopoulou, PhD, the BACE audience reassembled this year in the event exploring epigenetic mechanisms playing role in autism and neurodevelopment. The event openedContinue reading “BACE Event on Epigenomics in Autism – March 2022”

Thank you for following BACE this year! In case you would like to revisit this past year’s events, here is a brief summary. Epigenomics in cfDNA and Liquid Biopsy We started 2021 with an event in February on Epigenomics in cfDNA and Liquid Biopsy. First, Nathan Boley, the Founder and CEO of Ravel Biotechnology, introducedContinue reading “BACE 2021 – Year in Review”

The BACE event on (Epi)Genetics of the Microbiome in October 2021 featured two leaders whose companies push the boundaries of microbiome knowledge, and its application in human health. Gabriela Gutierrez is the Founder and CEO of Microgenesis, company that discovered microbiome signatures associated with infertility, and is helping women re-establiish balance of their gut microbiotaContinue reading “BACE event on (Epi)Genetics of the Microbiome – October 2021”
