SUMMARY:College Readiness Program
DESCRIPTION:The Office of Learning Support (OLS) at Ashoka University is back with the 4th edition of the College Readiness Program for high school students with disabilities! A 3-part virtual learning series exclusively designed for high school students with specific learning and physical disabilities\, this program equips them with the necessary skills and information to gear up for higher education! The program entails sessions packed with interactive exercises\, workshops facilitated by eminent experts\, lively panel discussions\, and ample networking opportunities. \nRegistrations are now open for all high school students with disabilities\, their parents\, and professionals.*  \n  \nModule 1: Me as a Learner and My Readiness for College Life (Friday | February 3\, 2023 | 11 AM – 2 PM) \nLet’s come together to learn about our areas of strengths and weaknesses as learners\, and work towards preparing ourselves to navigate various aspects of academic and residence life in college! \nModule 2: My Need for Accessibility and Specific Support Structures (Saturday | February 4\, 2023 | 11 AM – 2 PM) \nJoin us for a session on identifying our specific accessibility and assistive technology needs\, and mastering the art of networking with various resource people as our support structures to enhance our overall college experience! \nModule 3: My Readiness to Self-Advocate and Become Independent (Sunday | February 5\, 2023 | 11 AM – 2 PM) \nLet’s decode self-advocacy as an essential life skill together\, and equip ourselves with effective communication and problem-solving skills required to independently tackle the challenges that come our way while navigating college life! \n  \nNote: The medium of the program will be English. \nThe OLS looks forward to your participation and engagement with the program. The agenda for each session will be shared with the registered participants. \n  \n*We encourage more participation from students with disabilities since this program is specially curated for them.

SUMMARY:Oversight of membrane proteins  by the rhomboid-like superfamily: from molecules to medicine
DESCRIPTION:Matthew Freeman is the Head of the Dunn School of Pathology at the University of Oxford. His group studies the cell biology of membrane proteins\, with a particular focus on the rhomboid-like superfamily of proteases and pseudoproteases\, which they discovered. Although primarily driven by fundamental discovery\, his work has the goal of revealing principles relevant to human disease. Recently\, this has included insights into inflammation\, immunity and cancer. He is the winner of the EMBO Gold Medal (2001)\, the Hooke Medal of the British Society for Cell Biology (2003)\, and the Novartis Prize and Medal (2015). He is a Fellow of the Royal Society\, and the Academy of Medical Sciences. He was elected as EMBO Council Chair (2023). \nAbstract \nCellular membranes are important biological interfaces. Not only do they compartmentalise cells from the environment and organelles from each other\, but they also act as signalling platforms. Accordingly\, membrane proteins\, which include for example receptors\, ligands\, cytokines\, growth factors\, transporters\, enzymes and adhesion proteins\, have cardinal roles in signalling between cells. In fact\, 30% of the human proteome are membrane proteins and they are also the target of many important drugs. \nThe rhomboid-like superfamily\, which comprises the rhomboid intramembrane serine proteases and their pseudoprotease cousins\, are relatively recently discovered\, and they control many important biological processes by regulating other membrane proteins. These proteins can release membrane tethered signalling domains\, maintain homeostasis and quality control\, and in direct trafficking. The range of rhomboid-like functions is becoming so wide that that can be seen as multifunctional overseers of the membrane proteome. \nHe will discuss both his latest work on rhomboid-like proteins\, as well as the themes that are emerging about their mechanisms and role in disease. \nDate: 3rd February\, 2023 | 2:30 PM \nVenue: Dr Reddy’s Auditorium\, Ashoka University
