| | | WEBINAR A Novel Approach: Brazil-US Partnerships in Health Science and Human Medicine Friday, October 27, 2023 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. (Eastern Time - U.S. and Canada)
|
|
| Brazil and the United States share long-established innovative partnerships in health, science, and biomedicine. Through direct investment and public-private partnerships, scientists have come together to fight viruses such as HIV / AIDS, Zika, and COVID-19. Now, for the first time in history, Brazil is initiating research in specific fields of healthcare and science – and has partnered with laboratories in the United States to finance brain cancer research through The Medulloblastoma Initiative (MBI), founded in 2021 by Brazilian Fernando Goldsztein. MBI has established an unprecedented partnership between laboratories and institutions in Brazil and the United States to operationalize funding for world-class medulloblastoma research, with every dollar raised directly invested in finding a cure. Considering this novel approach, the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce has united a group of medical experts, scientists, and business leaders to speak on Brazil-US exchanges and joint advancements made in health science and human medicine. The program will feature MBI Founder Fernando Goldsztein, who will share how MBI was created and his mission to fund pediatric cancer research. Mr. Goldsztein will be joined by Dr. Roger Packer, the Gilbert Distinguished Professor of Neurofibromatosis, who serves as Director of both the Gilbert Neurofibromatosis Institute and the Brain Tumor Institute of Children’s National Hospital. Dr. Packer is the lead investigator from a consortium of 13 laboratories funded by MBI and will share how this group is advancing in preparations to submit clinical trials to the US Food and Drug Administration in 2024. One of Brazil’s most successful entrepreneurs and Director of Instituto Ling, William Ling will share insights as one of MBI’s first supporters. Career diplomat and Head of the Consulate General of Brazil in Asunción, Paraguay, Otávio Brandelli will impart his experience building international awareness for MBI, combining science with an unparalleled business model that focuses on results that will change the future of humanity. Join us on this global journey to hear from pioneers leading and supporting Brazil-US health science partnerships and the extraordinary advancements they have achieved.

| | I'm so grateful for supporters like you, friend, who understand the importance of races here in Nevada. | Our state is always a battleground. But while the GOP continues to make Nevada a top target, races here are often overlooked by the rest of the country – putting key Senate seats like mine in serious jeopardy. | Last year, Mitch McConnell and his allies poured over $55 million into flipping Nevada red, and they nearly succeeded. But my friend Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto defied all of the polls and pundits – winning by less than a percentage point in a race that ultimately decided Senate control. | And, friend, she won because of people like you, who pitched in $5, $25, and $50 at a time – all because you know what an important battleground Nevada truly is. That's why I'm turning to you for help today. | With experts predicting that Nevada could once again decide Senate control, I'm already getting outspent by the GOP on the airwaves. And polling already shows me 2 points down. If we're going to fight back against the GOP's attacks and pull ahead, we must reach our $50,000 goal by midnight tomorrow. | So please, I'm personally reaching out to ask for your immediate grassroots support. Will you give $5 or more right now to help me win in battleground Nevada and keep the Senate blue? | If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: | Thank you so much,
Jacky Rosen |

USO Supporter, Bridget’s daughter is due any day, but her husband is deployed and won’t be home for months. Thanks to the USO, she’ll be able to have a baby shower that provides an opportunity to bond with other parents who understand the unique difficulties she faces. Bridget is excited for her family to grow, but she knows it will be difficult to give birth without her husband by her side. Thanks to the USO, she’ll be able to call him after their daughter is born to share her joy. Bridget is proud to serve her country, but she’s afraid to raise a newborn alone. Thanks to the USO, she’ll never be far from an opportunity to seek support from other military spouses.

| | You’ve heard from Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Jill Biden, and more about how important the DLCC’s work is for our party and our country. But our records show that you haven’t stepped up yet this year to support our organization with a grassroots donation. With nearly a dozen special elections left on the books, and Democrats falling dangerously behind on our goal – we’re pushing grassroots supporters to chip in a 3X-matched gift ahead of our deadline on October 31st. By investing today, you’ll stand alongside grassroots Democrats and fight against state Republicans’ extreme agenda. Chip in $7 (3X the impact!) before midnight on the 31st to help Democrats catch up to our Republican opponents. If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process immediately. |
Thank you for being a part of our team, The DLCC
