For scholars whose work centers social inequality and structurally marginalized communities\ , pursuing funding carries unique political and institutional complexities . This workshop engages those realities directly. Participants will examin e how funding priorities are shaped\, how research agendas can be both adv anced and constrained by funders\, and how to build a diversified\, sustai nable funding strategy across sectors — without losing sight of their sc holarly mission or community commitments.\n\nIn this workshop\, Dr. Rashaw n Ray\, whose funding portfolio spans federal agencies\, private foundatio ns\, and philanthropic institutions\, will demystify the landscape of publ ic and private research support. Through a combination of presentations\, case discussions\, and small-group work\, participants will leave with:\n\ nA working knowledge of the public funding landscape. An understanding of how federal agencies like the National Science Foundation fund social scie nce research\, including how to identify the right programs\, align resear ch questions with agency priorities\, and navigate the review process.Fami liarity with private and philanthropic funding. Insight into how foundatio ns such as the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Russell Sage Foundation operate\, what differentiates their funding logic from federal agencies\, and how to position applied scholarship for philanthropic support.Awarenes s of the structural dynamics of funding. A candid examination of how fundi ng opportunities are not equally distributed and strategies for navigating and challenging those inequities.A personalized funding roadmap. A draft funding strategy tailored to each participant’s research agenda\, career stage\, and institutional context\, with identified targets across both p ublic and private sectors.Registration and fee (refundable for UNCCH stude nts) are required for Zoom link access.

ANVs are small\, single-stranded cir cular DNA viruses\, characterized by a non-enveloped capsid that have coev olved with humans for millennia. BMVs are plant RNA viruses that are regul arly ingested as part of a human diet and are found in a host of human tis sues beyond the digestive tract. \nANVs and BMVs are both characterized by one single capsid protein that assemble to form capsids. We have leverage d the single protein structure to develop virus-like particles VLPs) as th erapeutic delivery vehicles\, including vector-drug and vector-oligo conju gates. Our VectorBricks™ viral vector platform employs a standard recomb inant capsid protein expression step\, allowing for the purification of ca psid building blocks. These blocks are then used for in vitro assembly to encapsulate payloads in the capsid lumen. Here I report an overview of the AnelloVector® manufacturing process\, focusing on two case studies that improved the productivity of the upstream process and the scale-up of our recombinant capsid protein production process to 50 L scale. These improve ments and the scalability of the capsid production process demonstrate the potential of the VectorBricks™ platform to industrialize manufacturing of therapeutics for targeted medicines. \nBiography:\nAlessandra Mancini\, PhD is a Senior Scientist in Upstream Process Development at Ring Therape utics\, a pre-clinical Flagship Pioneering funded company. In her role\, s he develops upstream manufacturing strategies for a new class of targeted medicines – Ring Therapeutics’ novel vector conjugates. \nPreviously s he worked in the Viral Vector Upstream Process Development team at 2sevent y bio where she advanced gene and cell therapies from early to late-stage development. \nAlessandra holds a MSc in Biomedical Science from Universit y of Florence\, Italy\, a PhD in Endocrinology from Queen Mary University of London\, UK and a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Neuroendocrinology from Br igham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. \nRegister on Eve ntbrite LAST-MODIFIED:20260916T123224Z LOCATION:https://btec.ncsu.edu/event/btec-seminar-upstream-process-develop ment-alessandra-mancini-ring-therapeutics/ URL:https://btec.ncsu.edu/event/btec-seminar-upstream-process-development- alessandra-mancini-ring-therapeutics/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=i cs&utm_campaign=raleigh-nc X-SOURCE-NAME:BTEC X-SOURCE-URL:https://btec.ncsu.edu/about-events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Live Animal Feeding – Ocean Habitat DTSTART:20260918T144500Z DTEND:20260918T150000Z DTSTAMP:20260918T001901Z UID:123795-1789728300-1789729200@www.naturalsciences.org CATEGORIES:education DESCRIPTION:Join us for a live feeding of the marine life in the Our Chang ing Oceans aquarium and meet our Living Collections staff.

She then completed a two-year postdoctoral training under the Nation al Research Council Research Associateship Program at the Air Force Resear ch Laboratory\, Space Vehicles Directorate at Kirtland AFB. In 2018\, she began her independent career at Mississippi State University in the Depart ment of Chemistry\, where she currently holds the rank of Associate Profes sor.  \nAbout the Seminar\nTitle\nExplorations at the Intersection of Ion ic Liquids and Mass Spectrometry. \nAbstract\nIonic liquids are salts with low melting points and wide liquid ranges\, which are attractive for uses across many different application areas. Whereas they were once considere d remarkably thermally stable\, it has become clear that structure and con ditions affect stability and degradation. Furthermore\, the stability\, wa ter solubility\, increasing use\, and diverse properties based on their di verse structures has led to recent increases in concerns about ionic liqui d species as emerging contaminants. From applications to decomposition pro ducts to detection from various media\, mass spectrometry is well poised t o provide useful insights into this class of compounds. In this talk\, I w ill overview the scholarship of the Patrick Group at Mississippi State Uni versity and focus on my contributions at the intersection of ionic liquids and mass spectrometry. This will cover the study of electrospray-generate d clusters relevant to electrospray spacecraft propulsion modeling\, gas-p hase dissociation patterns and other analytical method development studies \, and thermal decomposition studies by pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
