SUMMARY:COGS Screening Event: Cracking the Code
DESCRIPTION:Cracking the Code\, narrated by Mark Ruffalo\, is an inspiring story of vision\, perseverance\, and the power of science to change the world. Phil Sharp’s journey from a Kentucky farm boy to Nobel laureate embodies the American Dream and the triumph of entrepreneurial spirit. His 1977 groundbreaking discovery of RNA splicing rewrote the rules of molecular biology and ignited a life-saving scientific revolution\, laying the foundation for an industry that has become a cornerstone of global innovation and economic growth – and transformed the health of billions of patients worldwide. www.crackingthecode.com \nThe screening will be held in Foege South Auditorium on Thursday\, January 15\, 2026\, starting at 3:30 pm with a social hour after. Alongside the screening\, COGS will be promoting UW and local resources that provide guidance and support to those interested in getting involved with biotech and start-ups\, with members from those organizations present at the social hour. \nThis event is hosted by the Community Organizers of Genome Sciences.

SUMMARY:Bioscience Careers Seminar Series: Ami Yamamoto\, Omeros
DESCRIPTION:The Bioscience Careers Seminar Series is back by popular demand! Now led by the PhD Ambassadors in collaboration with the Office of Research and Graduate Education and Life Science Washington\, the series will allow graduate students to explore careers and build professional connections with biotech and pharmaceutical companies within Washington state. PhD training prepares you for many different jobs\, both inside and outside the academy. During this year’s Bioscience Careers Seminar Series\, we’ll highlight experiences of scientists who’ve transitioned from their PhD to various careers in one of our local companies. \n* To encourage networking and community building\, all sessions will be held in person at the UW SLU campus; recordings will be posted\, at a later date\, on the RGE website. \nAbout the Speaker \nAmi (pronounced “Ah-mee”) Yamamoto (she/her) received her B.S. in Genetics\, Cell Biology & Development at the University of Minnesota\, Twin Cities in 2015. During that time\, she worked in a lab studying microtubule dynamics. She then worked as a technician for 2 years in a lab studying stem cell therapies for muscular dystrophy. Ami started her PhD at the University of Washington Molecular & Cellular Biology (MCB) Program in 2017 and completed her dissertation in the lab of Kevin Cheung at Fred Hutch studying breast cancer metastasis. After she received her PhD in 2023\, she started working as a Scientist at Omeros Corporation\, a local Seattle biotech company. Although Omeros primarily focuses on complement related diseases\, her role is in the oncology team in Discovery\, developing cancer therapeutics. In her free time\, Ami enjoys cooking\, baking\, knitting\, playing pickleball\, and video games.
