Wednesday, September 18, 2013 | 5:00 PM - 6:45 PM
Moderator: Orla M. Smith (Science Translational Medicine)
Panelists: Amanda Boxtel (Ekso Bionics), Grégoire Courtine (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, EPFL), Nathan Harding (Ekso Bionics)
Join us for a discussion of cutting-edge technologies that may revolutionize spinal cord injury rehabilitation and treatment. Included in the discussion is a live demonstration of a wearable robot (or exoskeleton) that enables people with lower-extremity paralysis or weakness to stand and walk. We will present perspectives from an innovator, a researcher, and a patient, who will share their insights on how these new technologies benefit the public now and in the future to come.

The immune response deters dangerous intruders, but when it fails, can lead to autoimmune ailments, ineffective immunotherapies and adverse reactions to biological therapies. This symposium examines the behavior of this complex, dynamic network.
August 23 - 25, 2012
Keynote Speakers: Drs. Christof Koch and Allan Jones (The Allen Institute for Brain Science), David Van Essen (Washington University in St. Louis), Sean Hill (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne), and George Church (Harvard Medical School)
This meeting will bring together researchers working at the forefront of systems and computational neuroscience to discuss cutting-edge developments in understanding neural coding from the micro, meso, and macro scale.
Wednesday, May 30, 2012 | 8:30 AM - 6:30 PM
Organizers: Chris Garvin (Terrapin Bright Green), Michel Wahome (The New York Academy of Sciences)
Our intent is to look at the potential data pool for the entire real estate industry and draw out the value between data sets and determine what data we should be collecting in order achieve sustainability and market transformation goals.

eBriefing
Speakers: Chris Garvin (Terrapin Bright Green), Cliff Majersik (Institute for Market Transformation), and Chris Pyke (U.S. Green Building Council)
There is an increasing focus on policy, standards, and interoperability of building data. Without the proper tools, the virtual tsunami of building data can overwhelm potential users. This eBriefing focuses on refining the data stream to drive green building innovation.
eBriefing
Speakers: Grégoire Altan-Bonnet (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center), Narendra Maheshri (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Johan Paulsson (Harvard Medical School), and Chris Wiggins (Columbia University)
Organizers: Andrea Califano (Columbia University), Manuel Duval (Network Therapeutics Inc.), Aris Economides (Regeneron Pharmaceuticals), Gustavo Stolovitzky (IBM Research), and Jennifer Henry (The New York Academy of Sciences)
Fluorescence microscopy advances have opened new avenues in the study of molecular dynamics in single cells. This eBriefing features systems biologists working on the elucidation of the effects of noise in mathematical and experimental methods analyzing single cells.
eBriefing
Speakers: Duane C. Hassane (Weill Cornell Medical College), Rui-Ru Ji (Bristol-Myers Squibb), and Aravind Subramanian (Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University) Organizers: Andrea Califano (Columbia University), Manuel Duval (Network Therapeutics Inc.), Aris Economides (Regeneron Pharmaceuticals), Gustavo Stolovitzky (IBM Research), and Jennifer Henry (The New York Academy of Sciences)
