Changing times ask for solid relationships.
Times are changing. A renewed interest from big pharma in the rare disease landscape
has awakened due to large-scale patent expirations, competition from generics &
biosimilars, anemic pipelines, escalating clinical trial costs and a global health-care
reform. This means that the traditional blockbuster model has become less viable while
the revenue-generating potential of orphan drugs has shown to be huge with a greater
return on investment than non-orphan drugs. According to EvaluatePharma, the orphan
drugs sales will grow at an annual rate of 11% and constitute 19% of the total share of
prescription drugs by 2020, totalling 176 billion dollars.
The rare disease landscape is very complex due to the large amount of stakeholders
involved. Despite their different interests they have one goal in common: getting an
orphan drug approval that will help save or improve lives. But there are many challenges
on the road to orphan drug designation:
• Complex and changing national and regional regulations
• Clinical trial design and finding & keeping patients
• The lack of a central database designed specifically to list patient registries, which
asks for close stakeholder engagement
• Partnering and establishing financing for future development
• Establishing a foundation for price that is balanced and sustainable
• Achieving an efficient and timely access to market with equal access for patients
around the world
• Achieving timely and correct diagnosis to enable higher quality of life and more time
and information for developers

Era el año 1987 cuando comencé mi Residencia de Pediatría en el Hospital Universitario La Paz (Madrid). Y mi primera rotación fue en Neonatología, en la conocida como Unidad de Transición Neonatal. Y ese fue mi primer contacto con “la 5ª” (como se le conocía entonces) durante seis meses, un servicio liderado en su jefatura por el Prof. José Quero, y con dos jefes de sección de la altura de los Dres. Félix Omeñaca y Jesús Pérez. Y fue allí mi primer contacto con el Dr. Quero, Pepe, como todos le conocíamos.
Y ese contactó se prolongó durante 15 meses al final de mi formación, cuando elegí formarme específicamente como neonatólogo con este equipo. Y allí se fraguó una relación profesional con Pepe, un doctor amante del estudio, afectuoso en la relación, ponderado en las decisiones y amable en las palabras. Cualidades tan apreciables (y poco comunes) para un jefe de servicio y catedrático de Pediatría de aquellos tiempos, lo que convirtió nuestra relación en afecto y amistad. De hecho, mi traslado a la provincia de Alicante hace más de tres décadas se lo debo a él, cuando él me informó y recomendó sobre aquella nueva Unidad Neonatal que se abría en el recién estrenado Hospital Universitario de San Juan.
Continuaron nuestros esporádicos contactos en los congresos científicos y siempre intentábamos vernos, comer juntos, preguntarnos por nuestra vida y nuestra familia. Y siempre iba aderezado por su permanente sonrisa. Lo que se dice, cultivar las relaciones personales que nos regala la vida.
Se jubiló Pepe en el año 2013, tras tres décadas al frente de la Jefatura de Servicio de Neonatología en el Hospital Infantil La Paz (la primera UCIN de España por aquellos inicios), con un amplio bagaje clínico, docente (como Catedrático de Pediatría de la UAM) e investigador, un maestro de muchos de los neonatólogos que hoy lideran esta especialidad en nuestro país. En el mes de enero de este año recibimos la triste noticia de su fallecimiento, y con su partida recuerdo como válido ese pensamiento de que “no es más grande quien más ocupa, sino quien más vacío deja cuando se va”. Y durante este tiempo se han compartido distintos homenajes (In Memoriam) en diferentes revistas y por diferentes amigos que dejó, que fueron muchos, homenaje que merecen las personas que son importantes en nuestra vida.
Quiero destacar el emotivo obituario de un amigo común, el Dr. Félix Omeñaca en Anales de Pediatría, el In Memoriam en la web de Fundación NeNe y en la revista Pediatric Research que os adjunto debajo, estas dos últimas lideradas por el Dr. Alfredo García-Alix.

Dr. Alvaro Sobrinho, Chairman of PEI, presented to the UN General Assembly on the organization's work promoting science, technology, and innovation in Africa. PEI believes three pathways are needed: 1) creating new higher education and research centers of excellence through partnerships between African and international universities; 2) developing cutting-edge technologies in and for Africa by incubating innovations; 3) publicly advocating for STI to governments. PEI does this work because tertiary education enrollment and scientific development in Africa are far behind other regions, and Africa suffers hugely from brain drain. PEI partners with leading scientists, academics, politicians, and businesses globally to champion the role of STI in Africa's development.

Yeasts play an important role in fermented foods like bread, wine, and beer. Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been domesticated for brewing through both conscious and unconscious selection. Unconscious selection led to traits like efficient sugar consumption, good attenuation, and flocculation. Different types of beers use distinct yeasts adapted to variables like temperature and sugar utilization. Lager yeasts are adapted for low temperature fermentation through hybridization between S. cerevisiae and cold-tolerant yeasts. Traditional and industrial beers employ diverse yeasts that provide unique flavors through species differences and hybridization.
The rise of the yeast genus Saccharomyces: biodiversity and evolutionDavid Peris Navarro
The document discusses the rise of the yeast genus Saccharomyces, focusing on its biodiversity and evolution. It summarizes research showing that Saccharomyces yeasts are geographically structured and phenotypically diverse. While nuclear gene flow between species is limited, mitochondrial and 2μm plasmid gene flow is more common. Gene flow can impact phenotypes, and mitochondrial inheritance influences temperature tolerance. The origin of the parental S. eubayanus donor for lager yeast strains remains unknown.
Reticulate evolution in yeasts and its industrial applicationsDavid Peris Navarro
This document summarizes research on reticulate evolution in yeasts and its industrial applications. Reticulate evolution refers to evolution occurring through hybridization and introgression rather than strictly vertical descent. The document discusses how hybridization has contributed to the diversification and domestication of yeasts like Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It also explores how mining genomic diversity through hybridization could enable new industrial applications, such as developing yeast strains capable of growth at lower temperatures or utilizing additional carbon sources.
This document summarizes recent research on the reticulate evolution of yeast species in the Saccharomyces genus. It discusses several new genome sequences that have helped uncover the evolutionary history. Wild Saccharomyces species from bioprospecting projects are revealing new genetic diversity. There is evidence of introgressions between species in mitochondrial DNA and the 2μm plasmid. Phylogenetic trees show four main mitochondrial haplogroups and reticulation at the nuclear level. Gene flow appears to be more frequent between species for mitochondrial and plasmid genes than for nuclear genes, although incomplete lineage sorting also impacts nuclear phylogenies.
Yeast Biodiversity and Strategies for Industrial ApplicationsDavid Peris Navarro
This document summarizes David Peris's presentation on yeast biodiversity and strategies for industrial applications. It discusses the diversity of yeast species and strains, their phenotypic traits under different industrial conditions, and strategies for developing novel yeasts through hybridization. Specifically, it explores using hybridization between S. cerevisiae and other species like S. kudriavzevii or S. eubayanus to generate yeasts tolerant of industrial conditions for applications like brewing or biofuel production. The document presents data on growth profiles of many yeast strains under various conditions to identify promising candidates for further development.

Talk at VIII Biennial Conference of Society of Spanish Evolutionary Biology (SESBE).
MATB. Previous studies have revealed that species of the genus
Trichaptum (Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) possess a tetrapolar mating system,
with multiple inferred alleles for MATA and MATB. We characterized the
chromosomal location of MAT loci, the molecular structure of MAT regions and their
allelic richness. We found multiple MAT alleles segregating in both multiple
Trichaptum specimens and non-Trichaptum species. Phylogenetic analyses and
various nucleotide statistics suggested that long-term balancing selection have
generated trans-species polymorphisms. Mating sequences were classified in
different allelic classes based on an identity threshold of higher than 86%. The
observed alleles could potentially generate 14,560 different mating types. The
inferred allelic information mirrored the outcome of in vitro crosses, thus allowing
us to estimate the degree of allelic divergence needed for successful mating. Even
with the high amount of divergence, key amino acids in functional domains are
conserved. We conclude that the genetic diversity of mating in Trichaptum loci is
due to long-term balancing selection that likely promote sexual outcrossing, with
limited recombination and duplication activity. Our large number of sequenced
specimens highlighted the importance of sequencing multiple individuals from
different species to clarify the mechanisms generating diversity and the
evolutionary forces maintaining them.

Hibridación como mecanismo para generar nuevas cepas de levaduras industrialesDavid Peris Navarro
Este documento describe cómo la hibridación puede usarse como mecanismo para generar nuevas cepas de levaduras industriales. La hibridación permite combinar el genoma nuclear de diferentes especies de Saccharomyces con diferentes mitocondrias para generar mayor diversidad genética y así obtener cepas con nuevas propiedades como mayor tolerancia a la temperatura. El autor propone específicamente hibridar seis especies de Saccharomyces para lograr la máxima diversidad genómica posible a través de esta técnica.
Polyploidy is a widespread phenomenon in biology, observed in plants, fungi, insects, and vertebrates. Polyploidy has been related with cellular differentiation in mammals and arthropods, and it promotes species diversification through evolutionary innovation. Additionally, polyploidy has important implications in tumorigenesis due to its implications in genome instability. Tools for testing polyploidy limits and their cellular consequences are lacking or scarce. Here, we have tested in an iterative way a methodology promoting Saccharomyces yeast hybridization, iHyPr (iterative Hybrid Production), for the generation of synthetic higher-order yeast hybrids. By using independent hybridization schemes, we have successfully generated multiple allotetraploid, allohexaploid hybrids, and four six-species synthetic hybrids (6-species hybrids) of Saccharomyces, a genus important for industrial applications (beer, wine, and biofuels). To test the potential future industrial applications of our synthetic hybrids, we evolved them in a medium containing xylose, a sugar not utilized well by wild Saccharomyces strains. By whole genome sequencing and kinetic analyses of ancestral and evolved six-species hybrids, we demonstrated how iHyPr is a useful tool for generating yeast diversity and better-adapted strains to new environments. We envision iHyPr as a tool to expand the Saccharomyces genus as a model to study the roles that polyploidy plays in organismal evolution, industry, and disease.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
