TraCS Tales of Translation - Colin O'Banion, PhD

Thu. 3 Sep, 2020 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

TraCS Tales of Translation features experienced scientists from academia and industry discussing the many twists and turns that are a part of research careers in the life sciences. Participating scientists will be asked to speak informally about their career decisions and pivot points, what translation means to them, and their advice for early stage researchers. This week's researcher is Colin O'Banion, PhD.

O'Banion grew up in western NY and went to the University of Rochester for his undergraduate degree where he studied neuroscience. He then worked at Johns Hopkins University as a technician, studying ALS treatment. Colin attended UNC-Chapel Hill Eshelman School of Pharmacy for graduate work where he developed optogenetic tools to control cell signaling and cell based, light mediated drug delivery platforms. After his postdoc at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience, Colin moved to industry and is now working as the scientific lead of StrideBio's Rett syndrome program developing AAV gene therapies.

There will be a Q&A session at the end.

Biostatistics Seminar Series: Data Visualization & Statistical Graphics

Fri. 4 Sep, 2020 10:30 am - 12:00 pm

Statistical graphics can be used for data analysis, displaying results, and for teaching statistical concepts. In the last fifty years, advances in computing and software development have shifted the creation of statistical graphics from the exclusive purview of the trained draftsman or graphic artist to provide universal access. In the first session of the NC TraCS Biostatistics Fall 2020 Seminar series, we discuss examples of a variety of statistical graphics that are intended to be inspirational of creativity and efficacy.

Presenter: David Thissen, PhD
UNC-Chapel Hill Department of Psychology

Register

The NC TraCS Biostatistics Seminar Series provides more in-depth discussion of select biostatistical topics for clinical and translational researchers who have basic quantitative training in biostatistical methods. Join us this fall for seminars on data visualization & statistical graphics, power analysis & sample size planning, and Bayesian clinical trial design.
