Day 3 - IACUC Day of our 2025 Conference Series: Community Connections in Research started bright and early with our pre-session on The History of the IACUC & IACUC Basics, presented by Cindy Pekow, Heather Sidener, and Shannon Ramsey. Up later today: Culture of Care with Sally T.; Programmatic Approaches and Contemporary Issues with Shannon Ramsey , Heather Sidener, Jennifer Wilk , Norman Peterson & Lesley A Colby; Enrichment Programs with Kristine Coleman; The Current Regulatory Environment with Taylor Bennett, Sally T. & Melissa Tribelhorn, MPA; and a Mock IACUC with Shannon Ramsey, Heather Sidener, Kristine Coleman, Norman Peterson, Jennifer Wilk, Jane Sullivan, Ken Gordon & Lesley A Colby. Thanks to our sponsors University of Washington, WCG and exhibitors Tech Software, Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs, Inc.

Had a blast moderating The Role of IBC Communications panel at Northwest Association for Biomedical Research ‘s 2025 IBC Conference: Community Connections in Research. Excellent tips and anecdotes from Karen Hunt , Levi O'Loughlin, Ph.D. , and Kenna Gonzales. Science Needs Champions. Biomedical research is too important to lose to short-sightedness. https://lnkd.in/gM9-NFmY #nwabr #ibc #biosafety #biomedical #research #science #ScienceNeedsChampions

Day 2 - IBC Day of Northwest Association for Biomedical Research ‘s 2025 Conference Series: Community Connections in Research is off to a great start!

Speaking of community… We have 100 people from 20 different research institutions - both here at Seattle Children's and online across the U.S., the Phillipines, Qatar, and Ethiopia - at our 2025 IRB Conference: Community Connections in Research! Biomedical research is under attack, but our community is strong. Thank you everyone for joining us today, and we’ll see you 3/4 and 3/5 for IBC and IACUC. https://lnkd.in/gFXirGV9 #IRB #IBC #IACUC #biosafety #clinicaltrials #humansubjects #animalcare #biomedical #research Thank you for speaking: Linda Coleman Tanya Matthews Bert Wilkins @karen-hunt-85700014 James Riddle Tara Coffin Doretha Walker, MPA, PhD Emily Guthrie, Olga Balderas Thanks to our team: Jennifer Wroblewski Mansi Kaushik Wendi Russac Melissa Tribelhorn, MPA

I want to thank Doretha Walker, MPA, PhD and Olga Balderas for their incredibly informative session today on understanding the history of and why researchers should include Strategically Excluded Populations at today’s Northwest Association for Biomedical Research IRB Conference: Community Connections in Research. We cannot go backwards! Diversity in clinical trials is good science. https://lnkd.in/gM9-NFmY #dei #clinicaltrials #diversity #IRB #biomedicalresearch #science #ScienceNeedsChampions

We at Northwest Association for Biomedical Research are having a great time at today’s 2025 IRB Conference: Community Connections in Research. So far we’ve heard from Linda Coleman about how to handle public issues that come to the IRB, and Bert Wilkins of WCG , Tanya Matthews of Kaiser Permanente and Emily Guthrie of University of Washington on finding the right level of review. We hope you’ll join us tomorrow and Wednesday for IBC & IACUC! https://lnkd.in/gM9-NFmY

The Business Case for DEI in Clinical Trials, presented by Tara Coffin, is an incredibly important topic for researchers right now - good research is inclusive and studies all kinds of different people. Contrary to current backlash, DEI should NOT be a dirty word, plus there are economic benefits!

UW’s ITHS Pilot Awards applications are now open - this is great way to get funding for your translational health study!

Great article in The Seattle Times by @pnrigenetics about how federal research funding cuts will have devastating effects on lifesaving work. "Science is a long, interconnected process, where each experiment builds on the last.?As scientists share their findings, a breakthrough experiment in Alabama can lead to a new medication developed in Seattle. When funding is frozen, delayed or cut, clinical trials stop, labs go dark and young scientists — the future of innovation — are forced to choose other careers. The ripple effects aren’t theoretical; they’re brutal and immediate, delaying the development of treatments that could save lives." https://lnkd.in/gFHR_5_7 Northwest Association for Biomedical Research
