SUMMARY:TMP Seminar Series Presentation: Dr. Danielle Garsin\, McGovern Medical School\, UTHealth-Houston
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Title:  \nEnterococcus faecalis and Candida albicans Inter-Kingdom Interactions\nThe microbiome comprises not only bacteria but also fungi\, parasites\, and viruses that can have profound biological effects on one another and on the host. Here\, I will describe our work looking at interactions between the fungus Candida albicans and the bacterium Enterococcus faecalis\, two opportunistic pathogens that share host niches in both commensal and diseased states. We discovered that these two bugs inhibit each other’s pathogenicity and will describe our studies elucidating the secreted molecules that mediate these effects\, as well as our efforts to apply this knowledge to develop new anti-infective therapeutics. \nAbout the presenter \nDr. Garsin is a professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. Dr. Garsin received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from Harvard University and her B.S. in Biological Sciences from CorAnell University. Dr. Garsin is interested in microbial pathogenesis\, gene regulation\, host-microbe\, and microbe-microbe interactions. One NIH-funded research focus is on the roles and regulation of ethanolamine utilization in bacteria. Another concerns the biology of the immune responses elicited in the model host\, Caenorhabditis elegans. Finally\, Dr. Garsin studies the interactions between Enterococcus faecalis and the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans; the discovery that the microbes inhibit each other’s virulence has led to the development of molecules with anti-infective therapeutic potential. Dr. Garsin has received many commendations for excellence in research and education. She earned an Ellison Medical Foundation New Scholar Award in Global Infectious Disease\, a UT System STAR award\, the Dean’s Teaching Excellence Award in multiple years\, and was elected as a Fellow to the American Academy for Microbiology. She has served the scientific community as a permanent member of the Prokaryotic Cell and Molecular Biology (PCMB) and Innate Immunity and Inflammation (III) NIH review groups and as an editor of PLOS Genetics and mBio. \nPresentation will be available in person at SAC 147 and via Zoom. \nZoom Information: \n\nMeeting ID: 977 3982 3365\nPasscode: 343086

SUMMARY:TMP Seminar Series: Dr. Eric C. Holland MD\, PhD - Fred Hutch Cancer Center
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Translational Medicine and Physiology welcomes Dr. Eric C. Holland\, MD\, PhD\, Professor of Neurological Surgery at the University of Washington – School of Medicine\, Fred Hutch Cancer Center\, to WSU Spokane on Tuesday\, March 17\, 2026. He will be providing his seminar at 12:10 PM\, “Big Data Visualization and Mouse Models of Cancer​\,”  in SAC 147 and via Zoom. \nDr. Holland has used RNA seq of large numbers of clinically annotated tumors to generate dimension-reduced reference landscapes. These landscapes show clusters of similar tumors\, subtypes\, that have specific outcomes and biology based on their expression patterns. Mouse models of tumor subtypes genetically driven by the mutations found in human tumors recapitulate the expression patterns of the human diseases and can be aligned with the human reference landscapes. \nDr. Eric Holland is a world-renowned physician-scientist who combines compassionate patient care with exacting laboratory research to discover more effective treatments for brain tumors. As a neurosurgeon\, Dr. Holland specializes in caring for patients with glioblastomas\, aggressive cancers that are the most common malignant brain tumors in adults. Dr. Holland has many accomplishments\, one is the development of mouse models of brain cancers\, which researchers use to unravel tumor biology and test new therapies. His landmark work with mouse models also revealed that glioblastoma is not one but several diseases\, a finding that is a first step toward tailoring treatment to individual tumors. Dr. Holland also studies the environment immediately surrounding tumor cells and how that neighborhood influences tumor formation and growth. \nIn person: SAC 147 \nZoom Information \n\nMeeting ID: 979 1292 6740\nPasscode: 804216
