Joslin Diabetes Center Launches The Lawrence and Evelyn Wing Family Lectureship Series

Joslin Diabetes Center Launches The Lawrence and Evelyn Wing Family Lectureship Series
Inaugural lecture by Maria Rosario (Happy) G. Araneta, Ph.D., on type 2 diabetes among Asian Americans


BOSTON (February 22, 2017) – Joslin Diabetes Center has announced the launch of The Lawrence and Evelyn Wing Family Lectureship Series, an endowed fund to provide an annual lectureship in support of Joslin Diabetes Center’s Asian American Diabetes Initiative (AADI) allowing faculty, staff, students and guests to meet and learn from scholars and experts in the field of diabetes.

The lectureship series was established in memory of Lawrence “Larry” and Evelyn Wing, founders of the AADI and key members of the Joslin family for more than 40 years. Larry was a Joslin patient as well as a member of Joslin’s Board of Directors for many years and Evelyn was a fixture at the AADI’s signature fundraising event, “A Taste of Ginger.” Their children hope that the establishment of the series will enable the memory and legacy of their parents to live on and continue to help the AADI grow and flourish.

The series’ inaugural lecture, The “Skinny” on Type 2 Diabetes among Asian-Americans: Revised screening guidelines and the UCSD Filipino Health Study, will be presented on Wednesday, March 1, 2017 by Maria Rosario (Happy) G. Araneta, Ph.D., Professor of Epidemiology in the Department of Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of California San Diego, Division of Epidemiology.

Dr. Araneta co-authored the American Diabetes Association (ADA) position statement, along with Dr. William Hsu, Medical Director of the Asian Clinic at Joslin Diabetes Center, to revise diabetes screening guidelines among Asian Americans and was appointed to the NIH Advisory Council for the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities. She also serves as principal investigator of the UCSD Filipino Health Study, the oldest and largest clinical study of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis among Filipino men and women.

“The Wing family has supported Joslin's initiatives to improve diabetes care in the Asian-American community for more than 40 years which is especially important as diabetes is occurring at a much higher rate in that population compared to others,” said Dr. George King, Chief Scientific Officer at Joslin. “Dr. Aranata, who will give the inaugural lecture, is a national leader in the area of health and diabetes among Asian-Americans and, along with Joslin researchers, is spearheading a national awareness campaign to screen for diabetes in the Asian-American communities at a lower body mass index.”

Dr. Araneta’s lecture will take place on Wednesday, March 1, 2017 at 12:00pm in the third floor lecture hall at Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston.

BOSTON HOSTS "BIG BOOSTER" ENTREPRENEUR PROGRAM

CITY OF BOSTON HOSTS "BIG BOOSTER" ENTREPRENEUR PROGRAM, FOSTERS GLOBAL COLLABORATION AND INNOVATION
BOSTON - Tuesday, February 21, 2017 - In partnership with the City of Lyon, France, Mayor Martin J. Walsh last week welcomed 20 global startups in the biotech, information and cleantech fields at a reception concluding Big Booster's week-long boot camp program intended to accelerate innovation for technology startups globally. Big Booster, launched in April 2015, is the first non-profit, international accelerator program between Boston and Lyon, France, and is intended to foster a creative global entrepreneurial exchange.

"I am thrilled that international entrepreneurs are not only coming to Boston to share innovation ecosystems, but also to highlight and collaborate on sustainability, culture, education and tourism stewardship," said Mayor Walsh. "I am thankful Lyon is such a cooperative and proactive global partner, and Big Booster's robust and continued support of entrepreneurship helps foster our vision of global innovation and economic development."

"We are proud to sustain Big Booster for this second wonderful year," said Karine Dognin-Sauze, Lyon Deputy Mayor. "The quality of the start ups of this year, their ambition, and the way they improved this week is a reflection of the power of Big Booster, and of the dynamism of the ecosystems between Boston and Lyon."

In Big Booster's second boot camp to Boston, industrial partners shared their expertise with startups from France, Italy, Israel, Senegal and Belgium through mentoring sessions and panel discussions that included some of Boston's industry-leading and innovation stakeholders. Last Thursday, nine startups were selected by local industry experts as finalists to compete in the final stage of the Big Booster competition in April in Lyon.
"Thanks to the quality of the Lyon Booster Camp selection and a customized program with specific content crafted for our start-ups by Big Booster, this week in Boston was a real success both for our partners and the companies participating through intense, prolific networking in a kind spirit of efficiency, under the guidance of the Big Booster team," said Anne-Marie Graffin, CEO of Big Booster.

The finalists were announced at a reception in the Bruce C. Bolling Municipal Building by John Barros, Chief of Economic Development, Lyon Deputy Mayor Dognin-Sauze, French Consul General in Boston Valéry Freland, as well as some of Boston's leaders in innovation and business development. The nine finalists are:

  • Clim8, the first clothing to be intelligent enough to regulate your temperature and improve comfort whatever the activity or climatic conditions.
  • FineHeart, a medical device company focused on creating innovative technologies in the cardiovascular space.
  • ForCity, empowers cities and companies with unique capability of simulating and optimizing the future of their businesses in systemic cities.
  • Glomeria Therapeutics, an Innovative Pertoneal Dialysis solution with enhanced patient safety level, preventing peritonitis, membrane rapid degradation and personalization.
  • Gulplug, develops disruptive wireless and self-powered energy sensors to help building and industry energy managers save their power consumption.
  • HySiLabs, based on an unique modular liquid solution which makes H2 easy to use, enables anywhere, anytime smooth transitions from fossil to clean fuel.
  • In Touch, aggregates all mobile payment solutions and digital services available on the African market on one device with one account for all operators.
  • Micropep Technologies, provides natural genes silencing boosters for a new generation of biostimulant, biocontrol and plants' biotechnologies solutions.
  • Sylfen, integrates energy storage and production solutions for buildings and ecodistricts, willing to secure their energy supplies with local sources.
About the Mayor's Office of Economic DevelopmentThe Economic Development Cabinet's mission is to make Boston an appealing and accessible place for working families, entrepreneurs, businesses, and investors to innovate, grow, and thrive in a way that fosters inclusion, broadens opportunity, and shares prosperity, thereby enhancing the quality of life for all Bostonians and the experience for all visitors.
