LEAP Announcement
Deadline Approaching: 2022 LEAP Scholar and Investigator Program Call for Proposals
The CTC (JCOIN Coordination and Translation Center) is accepting applications for the 2022 Learning Experiences to Advance Practice (LEAP) Scholar and Investigator programs. LEAP is a research education and mentorship program to advance the capacity for producing impactful research.
- The Scholar program is a one-year program designed for practitioners who work in health and/or justice systems. Students early in their graduate studies are also welcome. The goal is to expose practitioners and students to the research process and help to facilitate research in various settings.
- The Investigator program is designed for early career investigators who desire a two-year mentorship program to refine research design, implementation, proposal writing, and grantsmanship skills.
The deadline for applications has been extended to February 28, 2022.

Annual Biomedical Sciences & Health Disparities Symposium 2022 – Call for Abstracts
Event Description: The Annual Biomedical Sciences & Health Disparities Symposium attracts some of the top health science research and ideas from throughout academia in Hawaii. Medical Students, Residents, Medical Fellows, Graduate Students, Post-Doctoral Fellows and Undergraduates are invited to present their work. Research Associates and Faculty are encouraged to attend. The Symposium will have both virtual and live components this year. Friends and family may attend the online event. The live, in-person poster sessions will be closed to the general public.
- Graduate Students, Post-Doctoral Researchers will present their research in-person via poster format.
- Medical Students, Residents, and Medical Fellows will present their research in short, oral format virtually through Zoom. Length of presentations and precise times will be determined after all abstracts are received.
- Keynote Seminar on Zoom by Dr. Jae Jung, Chair of Cancer Biology Department, Director of Infection Biology Program, Director of Global Center for Pathogen and Human Health Research, Cleveland Clinic, Ohio.
- Undergraduate Students, Community College Students
- Students will present their research in poster format in-person following a schedule, which will later be determined by the Hawaii INBRE Program.
2022 – JABSOM Lectureship Funds are Available!
JABSOM is now accepting Lectureship Support and GME Visiting Professor Funds proposals.
The lectureships funds are intended to support proposals to bring to the campus outstanding individuals from outside the JABSOM community. These individuals should present lectures of a broad and interdisciplinary nature or of current interest in a special area not ordinarily available at UH. The intent is to introduce people and topics that lead to improvements in areas that my include clinical care, medical education, the workplace, faculty and staff development, and research. The proposals can be for a single lecture or for a series of lectures.
Note, for remote online presentations (eg. via Zoom) , up to $500 for one lecture, or $1,000 for two lectures can be awarded.
Go to https://jabsom.hawaii.edu/lectureship-funds/ for more information and description funding criteria.

Description: Single-cell multi-omic datasets, in which multiple molecular modalities are profiled within the same cell, provide a unique opportunity to discover the interplay between cellular epigenomic and transcriptomic changes. To realize this potential, we developed MultiVelo, a mechanistic model of gene expression that extends the popular RNA velocity framework by incorporating epigenomic data. MultiVelo uses a probabilistic latent variable model to estimate the switch time and rate parameters of gene regulation, providing a quantitative summary of the temporal relationship between epigenomic and transcriptomic changes. Fitting MultiVelo on single-cell multi-omic datasets from brain, skin, and blood cells revealed two distinct mechanisms of regulation by chromatin accessibility, quantified the degree of concordance or discordance between transcriptomic and epigenomic states within each cell, and inferred the lengths of time lags between transcriptomic and epigenomic changes.
