Seminar Title<\/h3>\n\n\n\t
Receptor-mediated Approaches to Reducing Cardiovascular Risk<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Atherosclerosis, a major cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD), is an inflammatory disease resulting from the build-up of cholesterol in plaque along the artery walls. As such, the development of strategies to lower plasma cholesterol levels remains a high priority.<\/p>\n\n
While various lipid-lowering therapies designed to prevent cholesterol from accumulating in the blood have proved successful, such treatments are sometimes accompanied by adverse side effects and residual CVD risk.<\/p>\n\n
In this seminar, we will discuss three different receptor-based approaches to reducing plasma cholesterol and CVD risk. At the level of the macrophage, we will focus on the roles of CD36 (an oxidized LDL receptor) and free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFAR4) in the development of atherosclerosis. We will also discuss SR-BI, a receptor responsible for mediating HDLcholesterol delivery to the liver for whole-body cholesterol excretion.<\/p>\n\n

Elise Everett, MD<\/strong><\/a> is a gynecologic oncologist at the University of Vermont Medical Center. She also serves as associate professor and director of clinical clerkships at the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont.<\/p>\n\n
Her clinical interests include cervical cancer, early detection for ovarian cancer, endocervical cancer, gynecologic cancer, neoadjuvant chemotherapy for gynecologic malignancies, ovarian cancer, robotic surgery, uterine cancer, vaginal cancer and vulval cancer. Her research interests are focused on improving early detection of cervical cancer, reducing inappropriate cervical cancer screening and identifying effective tools to promote adherence to guidelines. Her publications on these topics and others can be found here.<\/p>\n\n
Dr. Everett chose a career in gynecologic oncology because it is the only cancer subspecialty that allows for full comprehensive care of the patient: she is able to offer her patients surgical treatment, chemotherapy and palliative \/ end of life care. This allows her to build long-term relationships with her patients and their families, and to develop deep levels of trust, empathy and compassion. It is these relationships that fuel her passion for medicine.
\nDr. Everett expresses deep gratitude to her patients, who allow her to participate in their lives in such a meaningful way. She is honored to have the opportunity to watch and learn from their strength, love and humility.

\n Professor of Medicine, Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology
\nHarvard Medical School<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
Dr. Cole's research involves the chemical biology of protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) in the context of signaling, epigenetics, and cancer. His lab develops and applies chemical approaches including protein semi synthesis and small molecule probes to the study of protein phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, and other PTMs in enzymes and cellular networks.
\n
\nIn this seminar, Dr. Cole will discuss his group\u2019s research on the PI3-kinase\/Akt signaling pathway. In particular, he will speak about how the critical protein kinase Akt is regulated by C-terminal phosphorylation. He will also describe insights into how Akt is targeted by the key kinase complex mTORC2. Dr. Cole will also summarize recent work about the catalytic mechanisms of NEDD4-family ubiquitin E3 ligases which can regulate the lipid phosphatase PTEN.<\/p>\n\n

Overview<\/h2>\n\n
Academic Excellence Day began in 1999 when Maricopa Medical Center (now Valleywise Health) and Mayo Clinic Scottsdale Departments of Academic Affairs developed a program to highlight resident training program research efforts. The program was a success, and in 2004, the Arizona Medical Education Consortium (AzMEC) was asked to participate.<\/p>\n\n
The concept of Academic Excellence Day was developed and approved by all of the Phoenix-area members (all allopathic programs in Maricopa County) and the first city-wide Academic Excellence Day was held in 2005 at Mayo Clinic under the direction of AzMEC President, Michael D. Grossman, MD<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
The program was held annually on the first Wednesday in May and rotated at the participatory hospitals until the University of Arizona College of Medicine \u2013 Phoenix formally opened. Each of the participatory hospitals paid a fee to participate based on the number of residents the hospital had and continued that way until 2015 when the MICA Medical Foundation began providing funding each year. In 2020, the format went virtual in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to allow people to participate and judge in the safety of their own space. After two years of a virtual format, 2023 will again be offering a hybrid format of virtual posters and an in-person oral presentation event.<\/p>\n\n
The mission of Academic Excellence Day is to promote an environment of academic excellence amongst trainees in our participating institutions. Academic Excellence Day will provide an opportunity for residents and fellows in training programs in the greater Phoenix area to showcase the volume of bench and clinical research and quality improvement initiatives being performed.<\/p>\n\n
There will be an option to virtually join the oral presentation event through Zoom. A link will be made available and sent to those who RSVP as the event date nears.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that American adults spend 150\u2013300 minutes each week performing moderate physical activity, such as brisk walking, dancing, hiking, practicing yoga, riding a bike, or even scrubbing a bathtub.

\nMove Arizona is a workplace movement initiative led by Life & Work Connections. The program spans eight weeks each spring. The goal? Encouraging University of Arizona employees to build the healthy habit of meeting those 150 minutes of movement.
