Food systems, food safety and health with Dr. Delia Grace Randolph
2022-06-09 11:00 - 13:00 | Creelman Hall, Ontario, Canada
Join the Arrell Food Institute in partnership with the University of Guelph One Health Institute for an event with world-renowned epidemiologist, veterinarian and Arrell Global Food Innovation Research Award winner, Dr. Delia Grace Randolph.
Dr. Delia Grace Randolph will discuss a journey of several decades to provide an understanding of foodborne disease and how best to manage it. Our world is not well fed and while hunger has been decreasing over the last decades, communicable and non-communicable diseases are trending upwards. The best estimates indicate that the health burden of foodborne disease is equivalent to that of malaria, HIV/AIDs or tuberculosis and the cost to low- and middle-income countries is more than 100 billion USD a year. Most of the global health burden of foodborne disease originates in animal source food and fresh vegetables sold in the informal, traditional markets of developing countries. Alleviating this burden also benefits nutrition, incomes, equity and the environment.
This event will include a presentation and discussion with Dr. Delia Grace Randolph from 11 a.m. to noon followed by a light lunch from noon to 1 p.m.
Registration is required.

Conversations on Slumdog Millionaire with Author Vikas Swarup
2022-06-15 19:00 - 20:30 | Ontario, Canada
CONVERSATIONS ON SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE WITH VIKAS SWARUP, FORMER DIPLOMAT and AUTHOR OF Q&A
Interviewer

Madhur Anand, Governor General’s award-winning writer and professor of ecology and environmental sciences, University of Guelph
Reema Patel, lawyer and activist who published her first novel, Such Big Dreams, in May 2022

Wednesday, June 15 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

In a career spanning more than 30 years, Swarup has served in diplomatic assignments in Ankara, Washington DC, Addis Ababa, London, Pretoria and Osaka-Kobe.

ONLINE: Ontario Veterinary College Chappel Memorial Lecture with Dr. Laszlo Radvanyi
2022-06-16 12:30 - 14:00 | ONLINE, Ontario, Canada
The 2022 Chappel Lecture will be presented by Dr. Laszlo Radvanyi, President and Scientific Director of the Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR). The annual Chappel Lecture was established by 1950 OVC graduate Clifford Chappel in memory of his father, to give students and faculty the opportunity to meet internationally known scientists.
Modulation of the Immune Response in Cancer by Retroelements and Endogenous Retroviruses: New Targets for Immunotherapy
This lecture will describe how otherwise silent, non-coding regions of the human genome containing retroelements (REs) and human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are activated in human cancer and their implications. New findings in previous work, as well as recent work in Dr. Radvanyi’s lab and his international collaborative team, have found that REs and HERVs are induced in multiple cancer types and can be a source of tumour antigens triggering de novo immune responses in patients that may also be harnessed as a new target for immunotherapy. On the flip-side however, expression of these REs and HERVs in tumours can also disrupt normal immunoregulation. Recent results have found that in both pediatric and adult cancers, aberrant transcription at pericentromeric regions of chromosomes lead to the expression and secretion of RNA from REs (including LINE, SINE and HSAT) and HERVs in extracellular vesicles (EVs) that infect stromal cells and myeloid cells both in the tumour microenvironment and systemically in the body. These EVs are taken up by host cells driving DNA damage and induction of immunosuppressive innate inflammatory responses disrupting normal cellular differentiation and function of macrophages and dendritic cells. Thus, these EVs seem to be long-distance, systemic “immune disruptors” in cancer patients and alleviating this systemic immune-dysregulation may represent a new challenge and opportunity in cancer immunotherapy.

ONLINE: Virtual Constellation Walk
2022-06-16 20:00 - 21:00 | ONLINE, Ontario, Canada
Learning the night sky is like getting to know a new neighborhood. At first, it may seem big and confusing, but as you strike out and become more and more familiar with prominent landmarks, the day comes when you realize that the neighborhood is no longer new. It’s home.
Join us for monthly sessions as we get to know the night sky a little better. Participants will be introduced to prominent stars and constellations, where to look for them and how the motions of planet Earth cause them to appear to shift from hour to hour and month to month. You will receive a downloadable star map to help you make your way through the stars. We’ll learn a half dozen or so constellations every month and you will be invited to discuss your observations with the group as we each get to know the neighborhood a little better.
