Bedside to Bench: Epithelial Cell Reprogramming in Pulmonary Fibrosis UCSF Department of Medicine 2024-05-13 | The field of interstitial lung diseases, with its alphabet soup of entities (IPF, NSIP, HP, and more), has seen significant progress in the past few years. Much of this progress has been catalyzed by a new understanding of the pathophysiology of ILD, including the role of cellular aging in pulmonary fibrosis. In this Grand Rounds, Tien Peng and Paul Wolters provide clinical updates in the management of patients with pulmonary fibrosis and describe emerging research on the role that epithelial cells and telomere dysfunction play in these often debilitating conditions.SpeakersTien Peng, MD, is a pulmonary physician-scientist who runs the innovative Peng Lab, which uses complex murine genetic models and human specimens to investigate how fibroblasts maintain organ homeostasis, initiate disease, and drive tissue aging.Paul Wolters, MD, is a pulmonary physician-scientist who specializes in the diagnosis and care of patients with interstitial lung disease. His research investigates the molecular pathogenesis of fibrotic lung disease to help develop novel therapies.Program Bob Wachter: Introduction 2:30-24:10 — Paul Wolters, MD, pulmonary physician-scientist24:10-42:00 — Tien Peng, MD, pulmonary physician-scientist42:00-57:50 — Q&ASee previous Medical Grand Rounds: May 2: An Immunotherapy Renaissance in Hepatobiliary Cancersyoutu.be/e2O-ZHWSPHMApril 25: Diagnosis: Teaching, Measuring, Innovatingyoutu.be/Kd4YAK_XgUsApril 18: The Devastating Effect of Covid-19 on Patients with End-Stage Kidney Diseaseyoutu.be/rfiF-3z0TBoApril 11: Immune Effector Cell Therapy in Hematologic Malignancies: Lessons Learnedyoutu.be/zlb9jKgn99U
An Immunotherapy Renaissance in Hepatobiliary Cancers UCSF Department of Medicine 2024-05-07 | Immunotherapy has revolutionized the way we treat many malignancies, including hepatobiliary cancers. In this Grand Rounds, UCSF oncologists Katie Kelley, MD and Bridget Keenan, MD, PhD, will discuss the newest developments in using immunotherapy to treat these cancers as well as their unique bench-to-bedside translational approach.SpeakersKatie Kelley, MD, is a gastrointestinal oncologist who specializes in cancers arising from the liver, including hepatocellular carcinoma, bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma), and gallbladder carcinoma. Her research interests are in developing clinical trials of new treatments (including immunotherapy approaches) and combination therapies for these cancers, as well as translational research to identify molecular and genetic biomarkers of response.Bridget Keenan, MD, PhD, is a physician-scientist who works in translational cancer research and medical oncology at the Cancer Immunotherapy Clinic. In the clinic, she cares for patients with solid organ cancers who are being treated on early phase immunotherapy trials. Her research focuses on the mechanisms of response and resistance to immunotherapy, particularly in gastrointestinal cancers.Program Bob Wachter: Introduction 2:40-10:30; 14:15-25:45; 39:00-41:25 — Katie Kelley, MD, gastrointestinal oncologist10:30-14:15; 25:45-39:00— Bridget Keenan, MD, PhD, physician-scientist48:00-1:00:50 — Q&ASee previous Medical Grand Rounds: April 25: Diagnosis: Teaching, Measuring, Innovatingyoutu.be/Kd4YAK_XgUsApril 18: The Devastating Effect of Covid-19 on Patients with End-Stage Kidney Diseaseyoutu.be/rfiF-3z0TBoApril 11: Immune Effector Cell Therapy in Hematologic Malignancies: Lessons Learnedyoutu.be/zlb9jKgn99UMarch 21: From Pipettes to Populations: Building an Integrated Program for ID Research and Educationyoutu.be/ErYI-6fb-14
Diagnosis: Teaching, Measuring, Innovating UCSF Department of Medicine 2024-04-26 | The critical thinking required to diagnose a patient’s condition is fundamental to our work as internists. Yet if done poorly, diagnostic errors and inequities can deeply harm patients – in fact, studies have shown that several hundred thousand patients die or suffer major harm from diagnostic mistakes each year. In this Grand Rounds, we’ll have three expert faculty explore fundamental issues in diagnosis, each seen through their specialized lenses of research, informatics, and education. We will explore the measurement of diagnostic errors, the ability to harness AI to enhance diagnostic reasoning, and the future of diagnostic excellence. This year, our department became the home of a national Coordinating Center for Diagnostic Excellence (CoDEx), funded by a $15 million grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.SpeakersJulia Adler-Milstein, PhD, is a professor of Medicine, chief of the Division of Clinical Informatics & Digital Transformation (DoC-IT), and director of the Center for Clinical Informatics & Improvement Research (CLIIR). She is also leading CoDEx.
