Last week the City of Miami Police Department received $1.6 million in grants from the Justice Department to fund the Collaborative Law Enforcement Addiction Recovery program - or CLEAR. It partners police with the South Florida Behavioral Health Network, The University of Miami Health System, and other agencies to give those found with small amounts of opioids (or other drugs) a choice between jail or a one-year outpatient treatment program. We get details from Miami Police Chief Jorge Colina, and the medical professionals tasked with helping these addicts get the help they need.

Guests:

Chief Jorge Colina, City of Miami Police Department

Laura M. Naredo, M.S., C.H.C., C.H.P.C., South Florida Behavioral Health Network

Hansel Tookes, M.D., M.P.H., Medical Director, IDEA Exchange/UHealth

Dr. Zuker is Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics, and of Neuroscience, Columbia University Medical Center. Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Dr. Zuker is known for his work in sensory neuroscience, including mechanisms of phototransduction, mechanotransduction, and more recently taste. Zuker and collaborators identified the cells, receptors, and coding logic for the five basic taste qualities (sweet, sour, bitter, salty and umami). Dr. Zuker’s research has been recognized by several awards, including the Cogan Award and the Alcon Award for his research on vision, the Spencer Award from Columbia University, and the International Flavors and Fragrances Award for his work in taste.

Hugo Mercier, CEO and cofounder of Rythm, speaks at Hello Tomorrow Global Summit 2016.

Rythm is a neurotechnology company that merges neuroscience
with advanced technology to enhance human performance by researching, monitoring, and understanding the brain. The company is focused on exploring and decoding the human brain – one of the most intricate systems on the planet.

Rythm recently launched its first product, Dreem, a wearable headband that monitors brain activity with EEG technology and stimulates it to enhance sleep quality.

Nathaniel David, CEO of Unity Biotechnology, speaks at Hello Tomorrow Global Summit 2016 senolytic medicines, which clear senescent cells from the human body.

These “old” non-dividing cells accumulate in the body with age and secrete inflammatory molecules, driving a number of age-related afflictions. Unity has shown in animal models that by removing senescent cells we can reverse or prevent many of the diseases that define what it means to be old — diseases such as osteoarthritis, atherosclerosis, and kidney disease.

Neuroengineer Ed Boyden wants to know how the tiny biomolecules in our brains generate emotions, thoughts and feelings — and he wants to find the molecular changes that lead to disorders like epilepsy and Alzheimer's. Rather than magnify these invisible structures with a microscope, he wondered: What if we physically enlarge them and make them easier to see? Learn how the same polymers used to make baby diapers swell could be a key to better understanding our brains.

On the second day of Hello Tomorrow Global Summit, Michael Bloomberg and former French Minister, Emmanuel Macron, came together to discuss their visions of an innovation-driven economy.
