IEEE Madison’s November 7th 3 pm tour is at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery’s Saha Lab where they use CRISPR technology for addressing inherited retinal disorders. We’ll tour the lab, see a CRISPR machine and see how the output is used. Welcome to the CRISPR Vision Program at the University of Wisconsin- Madison! UW – Madison is a part of the Somatic Cell Genome Editing (SCGE) Consortium funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We're innovating non-viral gene editing therapies for inherited retinal disorders. Our work aims to bring the groundbreaking potential of CRISPR technology to those affected by these diseases. The labs focus lies in overcoming the limitations of existing viral delivery systems and introducing novel, non-viral treatments for inherited eye diseases, particularly those affecting the retinal pigment epithelium. As a part of the SCGE Consortium, the lab is working in a community dedicated to developing safe and effective gene editing methods to treat genetic diseases in somatic cells.

Dr. Robert Weissbach, a Full Professor of Engineering Technology from Purdue University Indianapolis and a past Chair of Department of Engineering Technology of IUPUI will give us a presentation related to renewable energy generation and storage. Free food and beverage will be provided to the in-person attendees, along with 1 PDH for those who needs continuing education hours. Abstract: The increased use of intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy has increased the need for energy storage solutions to address instances of low generation of renewables. Long duration energy storage, defined as greater than 10 hours of storage, has been difficult to achieve with most storage technologies, including chemical batteries. Pumped storage hydro is one promising long duration energy storage technology. During early morning hours when the electrical load is reduced, water is pumped from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir. During the day and early evening when the load peaks, water is allowed to flow through a turbine coupled to a generator to provide additional generation capacity before returning to the lower reservoir. Unfortunately, many of the geological sites that can support pumped storage hydro have already been developed in the United States. A potential novel option is to use a mine void as the lower reservoir with the upper reservoir at ground level. This presentation will look at the potential of pumped storage hydro in soon-to-be-abandoned mines.

Hosted together with IEEE Chicago, IEEE Computer Society Chicago, IEEE WIE Chicago, IEEE YP Chicago, IEEE Central Illinois Section and ACM Chicago, we are pleased to present this event. This presentation offers a comprehensive exploration of Policy Administration Systems (PAS) and its integral role in the insurance industry. Designed to manage all aspects of insurance policies, a PAS automates essential tasks such as policy creation, claims processing, billing, and customer relationship management. By streamlining these operations, PAS enhances efficiency and accuracy, serving as the backbone of insurance operations. Attendees will gain insights into how PAS functions as a system of record for policy transactions, ensuring data integrity while maintaining compliance with industry regulations. Furthermore, the presentation will discuss the various options available for obtaining a PAS, including building custom solutions, purchasing third-party systems, or partnering with insurance-as-a-service providers. Challenges associated with implementation will also be addressed, along with future trends that are shaping the evolution of PAS in the context of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning. By the end of this session, participants will have a clear understanding of how Policy Administration Systems transform insurance operations and their significance in delivering an enhanced digital experience for customers.
