More often than not, biological experiments involve repeated measures. Examples include responses measured in cellular assays, where the repeated measures may occur over multiple experimental batches, multiple plates, or multiple wells within a plate. Standard statistical tests like t-tests and ANOVA are not applicable. Instead, analysis of such data requires more sophisticated approaches, such as Linear Mixed Effect Modeling. In this course, you will learn the motivation for the use of these models, the underlying description and assumptions behind them, example scenarios where they can be used, and code to implement and interpret these models in R.

Clinical trials are enormously expensive. Most companies work with CROs and start from scratch each time in defining endpoints and finding patient populations -- and still see dismal retention numbers. But now there’s a different way: the RespondHealth digital platform, which employs AI to enable research centers and companies, even startups, to design their own trials. Respond enables users to manage the complete patient journey and capture patient-reported outcomes, addressing real patient populations. The platform was developed by Vicki Seyfert-Margolis after she served as Senior Advisor for Science Innovation and Policy to the Commissioner of the FDA. Vicki herself has designed and conducted more than 25 Phase II trials, including a recent trial for metabolic disease and diabetes in the Rio Grande Valley, which had over 90% patient retention. Join us to learn how you could use Respond to design a custom, efficient clinical trial.

October 5, 9:00-10:00am; ZSFGH, Room TBD
The goal of the conference is to provide a forum for junior investigators (fellows and faculty) to discuss research that they conduct in international settings. The topics for discussion are driven by the needs of the researcher. Each YIC is assigned to a junior investigator, rather than a specific topic. Senior investigators with significant experience working in international health research attend as well, to provide advice and feedback in an informal, small group setting.
Hosted by the Division of HIV, Infectious Diseases and Global Medicine

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs) are a set of programs established by Congress and designed to recruit and retain highly qualified health professionals into biomedical or biobehavioral research careers. These programs may repay up to $100,000 of qualified student loan debt for a 2-year award to those committed to a career in biomedical research. The goal of these incredible and potentially life-changing programs is to recruit and retain highly qualified health professionals in research careers by lessening the burden of student loans.
About 50 percent of LRP applications are funded each year and the mean award is $57,582. Many researchers have had all their student loan debt repaid by the NIH LRPs (over several awards).

The Human Performance Center serves primarily as a research facility, partnering with other research labs, scientists, and companies around UCSF, and the entire Bay Area, to carry out studies in the areas of biomechanics, exercise physiology, and sleep & athletic performance.
This grant will provide “seed” opportunities for faculty, researchers, and trainees that have research needs involving biomechanics and/or exercise testing of which the HPC can provide and might lead to future funding. Proposals with novel ideas as well as proposals that are an add-on to a current research study will be considered if the goal is to acquire pilot data for possible future funding.
The maximal amount of funds available for this fiscal year is $5,000 in HPC Services.
