Susan Bernstein, PhD, Work From Within
Future Proof Your Career: Building Flexibility to Navigate Changes
Learn how to navigate the future of work and create the calm, clarity, confidence and connection needed to thrive in the new economy. Prepare yourself for the inevitable changes in your professional career. Our world is changing quickly and familiar jobs are becoming obsolete. Now, instead of going to work, work often comes to us. The Millennial Generation grew up on technology, and is forcing us to use it more wisely and creatively. At the same time, we’re living in a time when the environment is increasingly polluted and resource-depleted. With all these changes, what do you need to know to make your career a success?
• The five major trends that will dictate your professional future
• Three conflicts that will have tremendous impact on your work — and your family/personal life
• Four key strategies you can adopt right now to be future-proof and flexible
• Techniques for creating calm, clarity, confidence and connection

Microfluidics in Next Gen Proteomics
Amy E. Herr, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Bioengineering, University of California, Berkeley
Amy E. Herr received her BS degree from Caltech and her MS (1999) and PhD (2002) degrees from Stanford in Mechanical Engineering. At UC Berkeley, her research focuses on instrumentation innovation to advance quantitation in life sciences and clinical problems. Translational impact of her research program spans from tools for fundamental research (cell signaling) to near-patient disease diagnostics. Her major awards include the NIH New Innovator Award (2010-15), the NSF CAREER Award (2011), the Eli Lilly & Co. New Investigator Award in analytical chemistry, the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship (2010-12, chemistry), the DARPA Young Faculty Award (2009-11), the 2009 Hellman Family Faculty Fund Award from UC Berkeley, and the 2008 Regents’ Junior Faculty Fellowship from UC. In 2007 she was recognized as an Outstanding Mentor by Sandia National Labs. She chaired (2009) & vice-chaired (2007) the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on the Physics & Chemistry of Microfluidics.
While the genomics revolution has had sweeping impact on our understanding of life processes, the “proteomics revolution” still remains unrealized. Proteins are more directly linked to function than genes, but proteins are also dynamic and more biochemically complex. Consequently, protein analysis often demands multi-stage biochemical assays to measure not one, but multiple physicochemical properties. At UC Berkeley, we are introducing novel non-discretizing integration strategies to answer this problem. This talk will highlight multi-stage assays uniquely enabled by our ‘µMosaic’ fabrication technique: an approach that allows regional photopatterning of 2D microchambers with heterogeneous, discrete nanomaterials. In one example, I will summarize our recent progress towards fast, hands-free, and perhaps even quantitative Western blotting, for analysis of specimens from clinical sample repositories. Our ultimate goal is to understand the life processes – including development and disease through quantitative bioinstrumentation.

“Cancer and Aging: Rival Demons”
Prof. Judith Campisi , Ph.D.
Buck Institute
Judith Campisi received a PhD in Biochemistry from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and postdoctoral training at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School. As an Associate Professor at the Boston University Medical School, she launched an interest cellular senescence and its role in tumor suppression and aging. She joined Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 1991. In 2002, she established a second laboratory at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, where she is a Professor. At both institutions, she established a broad program to understand the interface between cancer and aging. Her laboratory has made several pioneering discoveries in these areas, and her research continues to challenge and alter existing paradigms. In recognition of her research, she received numerous awards, including MERIT awards from the US National Institute on Aging, the Allied Signal Corporation, Gerontological Society of America and American Federation for Aging Research, the Longevity prize from the IPSEN Foundation and the Bennett Cohen award from the University of Michigan. She currently serves on numerous national and international editorial and advisory boards.
Age is the largest single risk factor for developing a plethora of chronic diseases, ranging from neurodegeneration to cancer. Most-age-related diseases are degenerative. Cancer, however, is a gain-of-function disease. Is there a common biology that links cancer and the degenerative diseases of aging? I will discuss the possibility that processes designed to suppress cancer – specifically DNA damage and senescence responses – link cancer to degenerative disease through an inflammatory process that is controlled by and evolutionarily-conserved longevity pathway. Our hypotheses indicate that we must be clever and knowledgeable if we are to intervene into aging processes that promise to ameliorate many of the chronic diseases of aging, including cancer.
