1:30-2:15pm Welcome and Invited Research Talk
1:30-1:35 – Welcome (TBD)
1:35-2:15 – Invited Research Talk – Dr. Reinier Hernandez to present on the “Development of Radiopharmaceutical Agents for Cancer Theranostics”
Radiopharmaceutical agents are a systemic radiation therapy modality with incredible potential for treating advanced cancers. Our laboratory leads several efforts to develop radiopharmaceuticals as single agents or in treatment combinations for multiple cancers, including prostate, renal, melanoma, and pediatric cancers. These collaborative efforts are supported by a multidisciplinary team of scientists and physician-scientists and enabled by key resources available through several core facilities.

Highlights from 2022
Last year, twenty-five research services with nine industry partners were joined by over 80 researchers at the fifth BadgerConnect Research Services Fair on November 9th, 2022. The free half-day in-person event featured a talk on automating cell type classification by leveraging transcriptomic big data by Dr. Colin Dewey, followed by discussion with a panel of six service cores that work together in managing and supporting big data and data pipelines. The afternoon continued with six workshops and culminated with a networking reception. In addition, multiple pre-recorded core flashtalks and tutorials were posted before, during, and after the event.
Hosted by UW Carbone, the UW School of Medicine and Public Health, and the UW Biotechnology Center.
