SUMMARY:FDA Public Webinar: Genome Editing in Animals
DESCRIPTION:On December 3\, 2018\, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM)\, with participation from the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER)\, will hold a public webinar about genome editing in animals. \nGenome editing is an innovative and rapidly evolving technology that offers many promising benefits to both human and animal health\, animal well-being\, and food production. This webinar is an initial step in FDA’s public communication strategy to help innovators understand FDA regulation and show support for safe and responsible innovation that benefits public health. \nThe webinar will focus primarily on the current scientific evidence\, promising uses of this technology in animals\, and the potential risks. It will also provide information about CVM’s flexible\, risk-based approach to the regulation of intentional genomic alterations to animals and address common misconceptions associated with the regulation of these products. A portion of the webinar will be dedicated to answering stakeholder-submitted questions. \nGenome editing in plants for human and/or animal food will not be covered. \nThe webinar is open to the public\, but advance registration is required to participate in the live-cast webinar. \nSee also: \n\nRegistration: CVM Public Webinar about Genome Editing in Animals\nFDA’s Regulation of Plant and Animal Biotechnology Products\nFDA Plant and Animal Biotechnology Innovation Action Plan\nCVM Update: FDA Announces Plant and Animal Biotechnology Innovation Action Plan\nStatement from FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb\, M.D.\, and Deputy Commissioner Anna Abram on the FDA’s new plan to advance plant\, animal biotechnology innovation

SUMMARY:DARPA Panacea Program - Accessing the Dark Proteome
DESCRIPTION:The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Biological Technologies Office is holding a Proposers Day to provide information on the structure and objectives of the Panacea program. \nThe event will be held on December 14\, 2018 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM EST at the Executive Conference Center (ECC; 4075 Wilson Blvd.\, Suite 300\, Arlington\, VA 22203). Advance registration is required. \nPanacea aims to integrate systems pharmacology and advanced medicinal chemistry approaches to expand the human drug target space for therapeutic interventions in the areas of acute management of pain and inflammation and the improvement of physiological endurance under oxygen-limited conditions or environments. Panacea will support the development and proof-of-concept demonstration of a new integrated platform for the rapid prediction\, synthesis\, and validation of pharmacological interventions. \nNew drug development for the Panacea program will be focused towards solving two critical problems facing DoD personnel: alleviating pain/inflammation without unwanted side effects and positively mitigating metabolic stress. \nDARPA seeks to bridge the gaps between the chemical space required to identify and produce novel pharmacological interventions and the complex biological space whose functions must be quantified in order to predict and validate the benefits of those interventions for these two desired indications. \nThe success of the Panacea program will represent a paradigm shift in the new drug discovery process and provide new technology that enables more rapid\, safe and effective therapeutic drug development for military and civilian health. \nSpecifically excluded from this effort is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice\, that requires genetic manipulation of the intended recipient\, or that relies on discovering novel pharmacodynamic space for known therapeutics to identify additional indications. \nAdditional details\, including registration instructions\, are available at https://go.usa.gov/xP6hD. Please address administrative questions to DARPA-SN-19-12@darpa.mil\, and refer to the Panacea Proposers Day (DARPA-SN-19-12) in all correspondence.
