Curriculum Renewal 2015. The Why, How, When, and What We Need To Do About It
Mara Rendi, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor, Department of Pathology, University of Washington
Location: UWMC NE110 Conference Room
Summary: To learn about the changes underway in the new curriculum at the University of Washington School of medicine. We shall discuss the theory behind the new curriculum, the impact this will have on pathology education, and what we as pathologists can do to best educate the incoming medical students and expose them to our specialty.

Protein Damage: Biological Consequences and Role in Disease Pathogenesis
Miroslav Radman, PhD, Founder and Research Director, Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences, Split, Croatia, Professor Emeritus, University of Paris - R. Descartes Medical School, Paris, France
Location: Health Sciences Building, T-739
Summary: We recently found that oxidative damage to proteins can cause both reversible as well as long-lived phenotypic consequences, and that irreversible forms of radiation-induced oxidative damage to proteins such as carbonylation are a better predictor of cell survival than is radiation-induced DNA damage.

Location: Health Sciences Building, Room T-739
Summary: Our immune system has a lot of similarities to a speeding automobile with a gas and a brake pedal. Just like a speeding car uses brakes to slow down and ensure a safer ride, our immune system also has built-in brakes that continuously work to ensure that our immune responses are adequately slowed down for preserving long-term immunity to pathogens, tumors and vaccines.

Summary: Ultraviolet (UV) from one-hour of sunlight generates 100,000 DNA lesions per cell that are potentially mutagenic, leading to the most prevalent cancers in humans. Understanding how cells respond to UV-induced DNA lesions could be helpful to selectively kill DNA-damaged cells and prevent UV-associated skin cancers.
