• BURLINGAME, Calif., Feb. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corvus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRVS), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, today announced that preclinical data for soquelitinib, the Company’s lead ITK inhibitor program, was presented in a poster session at the Keystone Symposia on Systemic Autoimmune and Autoinflammatory Diseases, which took place February 8-11, 2024.
• These preclinical product candidates exhibit specific biologic properties that are anticipated to enable more precise inhibition of Th1, Th2 and/or Th17 cell function.
• Atopic dermatitis (also called eczema) and asthma are thought to be mediated primarily by Th2 lymphocytes.
• The soquelitinib preclinical data and information on the Company’s next-generation ITK inhibitor candidates was presented by Rahul Pawar, Ph.D., Senior Scientist at Corvus, in poster session #2 (poster #2008) at the Keystone Symposia.

• CERN has inaugurated its new emblematic centre for science education and outreach targeting a public of all ages.
• GENEVA, October 7, 2023 – Today, CERN inaugurated its new state-of-the-art facility for science education and outreach.
• CERN Science Gateway will be open to the public as of tomorrow, 8 October 2023.
• The inauguration ceremony began with an address by Fabiola Gianotti, the CERN Director-General, who stressed the value of education and outreach with the public.

• Developed with feedback from Venn's existing clients, Report Lab helps investment teams more effectively communicate data-driven portfolio insights uncovered through Venn.
• "With Report Lab, investment teams can clearly communicate proposed strategies and make deep quantitative analytics easy to understand across multiple audiences."
• Report Lab, which has the ability to combine analytics from multiple sources, is currently available to Venn clients via its cloud-based platform.
• NewEdge Wealth uses Report Lab and other Venn features that are only available on Venn Pro, and their experience could differ from your organization's due to their particular use of Venn, the version of Venn used, or other factors.

• For example, during the pandemic, Venn diagrams helped to illustrate symptoms of COVID-19 that are distinct from seasonal allergies.
• They are also often taught to school children and are typically part of the early curriculum for logic and databases in higher education.
• He did initially begin a career in the Anglican church, but later moved into academia at the University of Cambridge.
• Venn had initially used diagrams developed by the Swiss mathematician Leonard Euler to show some relationships between sets, which he then developed into his famous Venn diagrams.
• Venn used the diagrams to prove a form of logical statement known as a categorical syllogism.

Logic and computing

• The visualisation of sets (and databases) is helpful, but the importance of Venn’s work then – and now – is the way they allowed proof of George Boole’s ideas of logic as a formal science.
• Symbolic logic underpins modern computing, and Boolean logic is a key part of the design of modern computer systems – making his work relevant today.
• Venn’s work was also crucial to the work of philosopher Bertrand Russell, showing that there are problems that are unsolvable.
• Following his abstract work on logic, he developed the concept of a logical-diagram machine with a lot of processing power: though this brilliant idea from 1881 would take many decades to appear as modern computers.
• We remember Venn here in Hull, with a bridge close to his birthplace decorated with Venn circle inspired artwork.
