SUMMARY:Colloquium\, Faija Akter\, UWM Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Molybdenum Cofactor Deficiency: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Breakthroughs\n\nMolybdenum cofactor (Moco) deficiency (MoCD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by neonatal-onset myoclonic epileptic encephalopathy and dystonia\, with cerebral MRI changes resembling hypoxic–ischemic lesions. The molecular basis of the disease is the loss of sulfite oxidase (SOX) activity\, one of four Moco-dependent enzymes in humans. Accumulating toxic sulfite causes a secondary increase of metabolites such as S-sulfocysteine (SSC) and thiosulfate\, as well as a decrease in cysteine and its oxidized form\, cystine. These biochemical derangements trigger neurodegeneration through NMDA receptor-mediated excitotoxicity and ferroptosis resulting from glutathione depletion.\n\nMoco is synthesized by a three-step biosynthetic pathway involving the gene products of MOCS1\, MOCS2\, MOCS3\, and GPHN. Depending on which synthetic step is impaired\, MoCD is classified as type A\, B\, or C. This distinction is clinically relevant because the metabolic block in MoCD type A can be circumvented by administering cPMP\, marketed as fosdenopterin (Nulibry)\, which received FDA approval in 2021. Substitution therapy with cPMP is highly effective in reducing sulfite toxicity and restoring biochemical homeostasis\, while clinical outcome critically depends on the degree of brain injury prior to the start of treatment. Notably\, recent case studies reveal that brain injury begins prenatally between 22-28 weeks gestation\, underscoring the need for prenatal intervention strategies.\n\nIn the absence of specific treatments for MoCD type B/C and isolated SOX deficiency\, this presentation summarizes recent progress in understanding the underlying metabolic changes in cysteine homeostasis and explores novel therapeutic interventions — including dietary restriction\, NMDA receptor antagonists\, sulfite scavenging\, and ferroptosis inhibition to circumvent these pathological changes.

SUMMARY:Colloquium\, Prof. Jon-Marc Rodriguez\, UWM Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Networking for Introverts (and Extroverts): Building Your Mentoring Network and Making the Most Out of Your Next Conference  \nNetworking is often framed as something that comes naturally to extroverts\, but building a strong professional network is a skill that can be developed intentionally by anyone. In this seminar\, we will discuss the role of mentors in supporting success at different stages of an academic or professional career and provide structured opportunities to reflect on existing relationships and areas where additional support may be helpful. The seminar will then shift to practical\, low-pressure strategies for networking at conferences\, including ways to prepare in advance\, engage during meetings\, and follow up effectively afterward.
