Title: Synthesizing Creativity: AI's Revolution in Creative Processes
This lecture ventures into the dynamic interplay between artificial and human creativity. We will discuss cinematic storytelling, computer gaming, popular music, and even classic art vs modern graphic design from the perspective of generative AI's impact. To accomplish this, we will leverage popular culture references (such as Quentin Tarantino's iconic narratives or Depeche Mode's evocative lyrics) to build upon how generative AI is rapidly impacting (or even replacing) human creative processes. This talk touches on underlying questions surrounding AI use to inform, or fully replace, human creativity with associated benefits and limitations.
Please see the attached invitation to the OKBioStart event scheduled on August 20. Please share this with your research faculty and any research post-docs/fellows/residents/grad students who may be interested in attending. Please see attached document for additional information.
Please join the Institutional Research Core Facility for a Lunch and Learn with Parse Biosciences. Paige Gear will be covering their Single Cell Evercode technology, and Dr. Pepe Alberola-lla, with OMRF, will be presenting data produced from this Single Cell approach.
When: Monday, August 26th
Time: 12:00 – 1:00pm
Where: Nicholson Tower, Room A

Harold Hamm Diabetes Center (HHDC) Research Symposium Call for Abstracts - The deadline for Abstract submission for the HHDC 2024 Research Symposium
is Friday, September 20, 2024. Abstracts must be received by 5 p.m. HHDC 2024 Research Symposium will be held on Friday, November 15, 2024, at the Samis Education Center in Children’s Hospital in Oklahoma City. The Symposium will consist of selected oral presentations, and a keynote address by Matthew J. Potthoff, PhD, University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, and a presentation by Sue Bodine, PhD, Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and University of Oklahoma Health Sciences. All abstracts submitted by trainees will be presented as short 5-slide talks at concurrent sessions, and will be recognized with awards, based on panel judges’ review. Eligibility for awards will be restricted to presentations where a trainee (MD fellows, resident, student) or junior faculty member (instructor, assistant professor, post-doc) is the first author and presenting their work. Four abstracts from Junior faculty submissions will be selected for 10-minute talks during the morning sessions, but are not award eligible. In addition to oral presentations, all abstracts may also be presented at the poster reception at the end of the day. For abstract submission guidelines and to RSVP for this free event, please go to:

Presbyterian Health Foundation (PHF) Clinician Scientist Development Grant Program – Request for Applications
Cycle I PHF Clinician Scientist Development Grant Program Deadline: October 2, 2024
The primary objective of the PHF Clinician Scientist Development Grant Program is to provide funding to a new or early-stage clinician scientist faculty member. This award is designed to support the applicant’s clinical and/or translational research project and to assist him or her with advancing this research project to a level that will be competitive for funding through a federal career development award mechanism. This program can provide funding for up to two years. The second year of funding will be based on successful achievement of identified milestones, completion of an application for Year Two funds, and whether funds are available.
The Principal Investigator must be an OUHSC primary faculty member with appointment at OUHSC as an Assistant Professor. New or early-stage clinical scientist faculty members with Temporary Faculty appointments (faculty with academic titles such as instructor, lecturer, or titles modified by prefixes such as visiting, adjunct, clinical, or temporary research appointments with suffix “of Research”) must obtain approval from the Vice President for Research before submitting an application for this program. Approval will require a letter from their Department Chairperson indicating a departmental commitment of salary, research space, and time for development of an independent career at OUHSC. Requests should be sent to
ORA4PHF@ouhsc.edu). Applicants must not have had a prior NIH career development award or an independent NIH R01 award; must have an independent clinical and/or translational research project; must have an identified senior, experienced research mentor; and may not have another PHF grant during the duration of this award.
2025 OK-INBRE Research Project Investigator Awards – Request for Proposals
Deadline: October 31, 2024
The Oklahoma IDeA Network for Biomedical Research Excellence (OK-INBRE) is soliciting applications for its Research Project Investigator (RPI) award program.
