DESCRIPTION:“Alternative Polyadenylation in Cardiac Fibrosis: From Mecha
 nism to Heart Failure Recovery"\n\n \n\nDescription: Heart failure remains
  difficult to treat because current therapies rarely reverse the cardiac f
 ibrosis that limits myocardial recovery. This translational research exami
 nes alternative polyadenylation\, a post-transcriptional mechanism that al
 ters 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) isoform usage and profibrotic gene
  expression. Studies integrate failing human myocardium\, myocardial sampl
 es collected at left ventricular assist device implantation and subsequent
  heart transplantation\, patient-derived cardiac fibroblasts\, Poly(A)-Cli
 ckSeq\, and mouse models. This approach defines how altered RNA processing
  promotes fibrosis and whether its reversal accompanies recovery following
  mechanical circulatory support\, while evaluating gene-based strategies t
 o restore protective 3′UTR usage\, reduce fibrosis\, improve cardiac fun
 ction\, and expand opportunities for patients with heart failure.\n\n \n\n

DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\nThe 2026 JIMI Symposium is a full‑day\, in‑per
 son educational experience focused on the practical work of sustaining joy
  and professional fulfillment in today’s clinical and leadership environ
 ments.\n\n \n\nBuilding on the momentum of the 2024 & 2025 symposiums\, th
 is year’s program is intentionally designed so that every session is not
  only engaging and meaningful\, but also specific\, practical\, and direct
 ly applicable to everyday clinical and leadership work.\n\n \n\nWhy Attend
 ?\n\nClinicians and health care leaders continue to face well‑documented
  challenges related to well‑being\, leadership behaviors\, practice envi
 ronment design\, and the responsible use of innovation and technology. The
  2026 JIMI Symposium addresses these gaps by moving beyond high‑level in
 spiration to focus on how change actually happens in real clinical and hea
 lth system settings.\n\n \n\nThrough plenary conversations\, applied strat
 egy spotlights\, role‑based interactive labs\, and interprofessional dis
 cussion\, participants will explore evidence‑informed approaches and lea
 ve with concrete tools and strategies they can use immediately within thei
 r own teams\, roles\, and practice environments.\n\n \n\nThe symposium emp
 hasizes translation from insight to action—equipping participants with c
 lear frameworks\, tested practices\, and leadership behaviors that can be 
 implemented within real‑world clinical\, operational\, and organizationa
 l constraints.

  From the discovery of the first angiogenesis inhibitors to the developmen
 t of controlled drug delivery systems and the foundation of tissue enginee
 ring\n\n \n\nAdvanced drug delivery systems are having an enormous impact 
 on human health. We start by discussing our early research on developing t
 he first controlled release systems for macromolecules and the isolation o
 f angiogenesis inhibitors and how these led to numerous new therapies. Thi
 s early research then led to new drug delivery technologies including nano
 particles and nanotechnology that are now being studied for use treating c
 ancer\, other illnesses and in vaccine delivery (including the Covid-19 va
 ccine). Approaches for synthesizing new biomaterials\, such as biodegradab
 le polyanhydrides\, are then examined\, and examples where such materials 
 are used in brain cancer and other diseases are discussed. Finally\, by co
 mbining mammalian cells\, including stem cells\, with synthetic polymers\,
  new approaches for engineering tissues are being developed that may somed
 ay help in various diseases. Examples in the areas of cartilage\, skin\, b
 lood vessels and heart tissue are discussed.\n\n \n\nPresented by the Cent

DESCRIPTION:More information and Registration Site Coming Soon. \n\n \n\nC
 ourse Overview: \n\n \n\nThere is a demographic shift in the U.S. towards 
 an older population. This “gray tsunami” will disproportionately affec
 t ophthalmology as a specialty because our top disorders are diseases of t
 he elderly (age-related macular degeneration (ARMD)\, glaucoma and catarac
 ts). Geriatric ophthalmic patients are not simply “older adults”\; the
 y have unique responses to treatment and disease and may have co-morbiditi
 es that impact diagnosis\, treatment and prognosis. Moreover\, elderly pat
 ients may require the expertise of several health professionals from diver
 se disciplines who have experience in dealing with specific geriatric synd
 romes. Increasing geriatric expertise among ophthalmologists and primary c
 are specialists while promoting competent\, compassionate care of elderly 
 patients is imperative.\n\n \n\nThis activity seeks to address the needs o
 f the geriatric patient population by arming providers with the necessary 
 information on topics such as diabetic retinopathy\, ARMD\, cataracts\, gl
 aucoma\, low-vision\, as well as related co-morbidities (e.g.\, depression
 \, dementia\, hearing loss\, function loss\, driving and elder abuse). The
 re is an insufficient number of geriatricians to meet the demographic shif
 t\, and individual specialty providers\, generalists and allied health per
 sonnel will be required to have expertise in geriatric domains within thei
 r areas of service in order to provide care that is optimal\, cost effecti
 ve and safe.\n\n \n\n \n\n \n\nTarget Audience: \n\n \n\nOphthalmologists\
 , optometrists\, geriatricians\, internists\, family practitioners\, resid
 ents\, fellows\, physician assistants\, registered nurses\, advanced pract
 ice nurse practitioners and healthcare professionals with an interest in g
 eriatric ophthalmology.
