| Pitt Hosts Vaccine Film Premiere April 12 Online Panel discussion follows “Chasing COVID,” a 30-minute film featuring the work of Pitt’s Center for Vaccine Research (CVR), will be available online at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 12, the 66th anniversary of the Salk polio vaccine being declared “safe and effective.” Created by filmmaker and Pitt senior lecturer Carl Kurlander, this engaging program takes viewers inside the lab of CVR director Paul Duprex, PhD, who, with his team, is engaged in a global collaboration to develop a COVID-19 vaccine that encompasses what is known about the virus’ emerging variants. For information and registration, visit https://calendar.pitt.edu/event/chasingcovid#.YG37UBNKh-V. In addition to Duprex and Kurlander, a post-screening panel discussion will feature: · Peter Salk, MD, professor of infectious diseases and microbiology at the Graduate School of Public Health and president of the Jonas Salk Legacy Foundation. One of the first to get his father’s then-experimental polio vaccine, he will reflect on lessons that historic collective effort has in today’s battle against COVID-19. · Sylvia Owusu-Ansah, MD, MPH, assistant professor of pediatrics and of emergency medicine. One of the earliest African American physicians to be vaccinated against COVID-19, she will talk about her engagement with communities concerned about vaccine hesitancy and equitable vaccine distribution. · Anita McElroy, MD, PhD, assistant professor of pediatrics. In addition to collaborating with Duprex on a measles-vector vaccine candidate for COVID-19, McElroy runs the F*A*B Lab, which focuses on some of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases such as Ebola and Rift Valley fever virus. · The panel will be moderated by Kornelia Tancheva, director of the University of Library System.

The Bridgeside Research Forum is a seminar given by postdocs and graduate students every Friday from 12-1 pm during the academic year. Most weeks consist of two 30-minute talks, but there will be an occasional hour-long special seminar from an invited guest too.
The goal of this forum is to provide an opportunity for trainees to gain valuable experience presenting their research to a broad scientific community. The topics are diverse each week, so there is sure to be something for everyone. All are welcome to attend and enjoy a free lunch while you are there!
There is a free shuttle to transport people directly from the Hillman Cancer Center to Bridgeside Point II and back. The shuttle will depart Hillman at 11:30 am and then depart Bridgside at 1:15 pm

Work-in-Progress Conference & Seminar Series
“In depth single cell profiling of a case of bone metastases with associated organoid models reveals a precision medicine approach to treatment”
Kai Ding, Graduate Student,
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine – Pittsburgh, PA
Objective:
- Occurring in 65-80% of metastatic breast cancer (BC), bone metastasis (BoM) is the major cause of BC related mortality. Like other cancers, BC BoM has high inter- and intra-patient heterogeneity. Thus, understanding disease evolution and heterogeneity of BoM at the individual patient level will be key to guide precise application of targeted therapies. In this study, we described in depth histologic and single cell molecular characterization of a case of invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC) metastasis to bone, and examined potential therapeutic targets with associated organoid models.
“Zinc protection of fertilized eggs is an ancient feature of sexual reproduction in animals”
Rachel Bainbridge, PhD Student,
Carlson Lab, University of Pittsburgh, Department of Biological Sciences
Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology Program
Objective:
- In most sexually reproducing organisms, it is vital that the egg is fertilized by only one sperm. In order to ensure this occurs, eggs utilize polyspermy blocks, mechanisms that inhibit the entry of multiple sperm. Recently, it has been observed that mammalian eggs release zinc at activation, a phenomenon hypothesized to contribute to the polyspermy block. We seek to demonstrate that this zinc release is conserved in non-mammalian eggs, and to directly test zinc’s ability to inhibit fertilization.
