Navigating Visas and Immigration for Scientific Researchers in ASPET

Hosted by the ASPET Young Scientist Committee (YSC) 

Thursday, January 23, 2025, 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm ET

ASPET is a community of over 4,000 members, including researchers and students in academia, industry, and government from all over the world. A significant portion of the biomedical workforce comprises international researchers on visas like F1, H1B, J1, and O1. To further their careers and gain scientific experience in the US, these members usually seek out immigration attorneys for assistance in applying for transition visas or immigration petitions. Several members eventually apply for a green card through the Eb1A, Eb1B, or Eb2 categories to obtain permanent residency in the US to be able to live and work in the US and avoid long-term visa issues. Through this session, ASPET members will have an opportunity to learn from an immigration attorney about applying for transition visas or immigration petitions. Most importantly, they will learn when and how to get started on these activities in their careers and the potential timelines to get a green card. Members can post their questions in the ASPETConnect portal which can be discussed LIVE to get insightful feedback from the attorney.

From Bench to Classroom: Exploring Educator Pathways to Expand Graduate Programs

Hosted by the ASPET Division for Pharmacology Education (DPE) 

Wednesday, December 11, 2024, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm ET

Basic science educators (BSE) play a vital role in training medical and graduate students, yet little is known about their pathways into the profession. Recent research (Brooks et al., 2023) found that the pathway to becoming a BSE is often “serendipitous” and “happenstance”: most BSE weren’t aware that these types of positions were available when they were in the lab. This session will explore the pathways to BSE roles, and the supports and barriers involved in transitioning from research-focused positions to BSE positions. Presenters will share recent research, and participants will work in integrated small groups to develop skills around supporting students interested in BSE careers, with the aim of developing more robust and inclusive pathways from basic science research into education.

Establishing ClpP Activators as an Exciting Strategy to Target Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Cancer

Hosted by the ASPET Division for Cancer Pharmacology (DCP) 

Monday, November 18, 2024, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm ET

ClpP protease regulates mitochondrial protein quality through targeted regulation and degradation of proteins involved in multiple metabolic processes. In cancer, ClpP is overexpressed to aid in elimination of reactive oxygen species that allows cancers to maintain viability. Recent advances in our understanding of ClpP regulation have allowed development of high-affinity small molecules that disrupt ClpP activity and thereby attack a novel vulnerability in cancer. This webinar will highlight the progress made in the ClpP field while presenting how combination of mechanistic, structural, and pharmacologic studies have enabled a new class of drugs to emerge in the field of anti-cancer therapy.

Applying Mixed Methods Research Designs in Pedagogical Research

Hosted by the ASPET Division for Pharmacology Education (DPE) 

Thursday, October 10, 2024, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm ET

The mixed-methods research (MMR) approach combines qualitative and quantitative approaches within a single study to enhance research rigor. By integrating separate qualitative and quantitative data strands, MMR allows for a deeper understanding of the phenomena of interest. Although MMR has been utilized in healthcare research, it is only gradually being accepted in health professional-related educational research. This workshop aims to help healthcare professionals in educational research understand what MMR is, best practice recommendations for using MMR, and how MMR can enhance research rigor and provide more comprehensive answers to research questions than using qualitative or quantitative methods alone.

Hosted by the ASPET Division for Pharmacology Education (DPE)

Tuesday, August 6, 2024, 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm ET

The session builds on the work of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology Education Section (IUPHAR-Ed) Core Concepts of Pharmacology (CCP) project. It will begin with an update on the progress and plans for this global project. Participants will then work in groups to explore two core concepts from White et al., BJP 2023, using the definitions and sub-concepts from Guilding et al., BJP 2024. The groups will produce draft proficiency statements for a range of health professions and science programs for each concept. The outcomes of the session will be published.

Objectives:

• Advocate for the adoption of concept-based curricula in pharmacology education.
• Suggest proficiency levels for health professions and science graduates for specific core concepts.
• Play a part in creating globally accessible educator resources.
• Elevate awareness about the IUPHAR-Ed CCP project.
• Transform the focus on pharmacology core concepts, ensuring their long-term application across different professions.
