Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders in Law of 2023

NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Women We Admire is pleased to announce The Top 50 Women Leaders in Law of 2023. Over the course of the last several decades, women have made remarkable advancements towards achieving equality across various domains within the legal profession. To put this transformation into perspective, consider that in 1970, there were merely 8,000 women practicing law in the U.S. Fast forward to 2022, and this figure has skyrocketed to over 490,000 women attorneys nationwide. Meanwhile, women now constitute a majority among law school students across the country.

The accomplished women on this year’s list have been instrumental in leading their organizations by offering unparalleled legal guidance, championing the rights of their clients, and steadfastly upholding the tenets of justice. Their indispensable roles go beyond their exceptional legal acumen; they are trailblazers who shatter gender barriers, thereby paving the path for gender parity within the legal sphere and serving as inspirational figures for future generations of female lawyers. Their expertise and unwavering commitment enrich the diversity of perspectives in the decision-making processes of the legal system, thereby fostering a more equitable and well-rounded legal landscape.

Among the notable honorees featured on this year’s prestigious list, we find individuals such as Katie Jakola, a Litigation Partner and Trial Lawyer at Kirkland & Ellis. Possessing over two decades of extensive experience in intricate commercial litigation, Jakola’s illustrious career highlights encompass serving as trial counsel in the Deepwater Horizon litigation for BP, along with her role as BP’s national coordinating counsel for numerous personal injury cases.

Also deserving of recognition is one of IQVIA’s Senior Counsel, Janean Dunn, who has previously been honored by the National Black Lawyer’s as one of the Top 40 under 40 African American attorneys in business labor and employment law. Another exemplary awardee is Maggie Ebert, a Litigation Partner stationed in the Omaha office of Kutak Rock. Beyond her litigation practice, Ebert’s commendable pro bono work extends to assisting low-income families with the Green Card application process.

Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of The Top 50 Women Leaders in Law of 2023.

Global Genes’ RARE-X Names Winners to the Xcelerate RARE Open Science Data Challenge

Leave a comment


“For many rare diseases, where very little data is published and available, it can be difficult for families, doctors, and researchers to find reliable information about the symptoms and progression of that condition,” said Fanny Sie, Head of AI and Emerging Technology Collaborations at Roche. “As a result of ecosystem partnerships between patient advocacy groups, industry, academia, startups and individual contributors within the Xcelerate Rare Open Science Challenge, we now have algorithms we can use to analyze patient-reported data to define the phenotypic spectrum of each of these diseases and compare it to published data that are accessible to all.”

The Challenge, which ran from May 31 through August 16, was designed to generate new insights into these conditions and allow participants to test hypotheses for fueling therapeutic development by leveraging the growing amount of patient data on Global Genes’ RARE-X platform. Participants made use of de-identified data on the RARE-X platform, as well as electronic health record data curated by Ciitizen, and external registry data provided by the Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford (CoRDS).

Global Genes invited participating researchers to address three challenge questions. The first question focused on expanding known phenotypes with previously unrecognized symptoms. Global Genes named three winners for the first challenge question, including:

  • Best approach, combining RARE-X & external data: 3Billion Team, led by Won Chan Jeong, Bioinformatics Engineer and Kyoungyeul Lee, Chief Scientific Officer; at 3Billion, Seoul, South Korea

The second challenge question involved creating machine learning algorithms to predict disease diagnoses based on the diagnostic journey documented by families providing data. Global Genes named the following team as the winner of this challenge:

  • Best computational approach for predicting a diagnosis based on patient-reported data: Ambit Inc.’s Data and Analytics Team led by Birnur Ozbas-Erdem, Ph.D., Vice President and Head of Analytics and Data Products at Ambit Inc.

The third challenge question focused on using data to validate or refute a potential therapeutic approach for one or more rare diseases. Global Genes announced two winners of this challenge:

  • Best use of the RARE-X data set: Mefford Lab at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, led by Heather C. Mefford, M.D., Ph.D., Principal Investigator at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

“While the first Xcelerate Rare Open Science Data Challenge is now closed, this is just a beginning,” said Karmen Trzupek, Senior Director of Scientific Programs at Global Genes. “We expect to continue to collaborate with these groups to leverage their computational approaches for analyzing patent data to accelerate the understanding of rare diseases and drive development of new therapies to treat them.”

Roche served as founding partner and co-organizer of the Xcelerate Rare Challenge. Sponsors included Datavant, Horizon, and RTW Charitable Foundation. Xcelerate Rare data partners included Ciitizen, Sanford Health, and NetraMark. Global Genes also worked with Dream Challenge through the nonprofit Sage Bionetworks to craft the challenge questions and create a dedicated workspace.

“We believe that patient-reported data is powerful and can be used to fuel and test important hypotheses,” said Charlene Son Rigby, CEO of Global Genes. “With the collaboration of research groups around the world, we have shown that the open sharing of robust patient-reported data, combined with molecular and federated electronic health record data, can advance rare disease understanding and research.”

About Global Genes
Global Genes is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit rare disease patient advocacy organization dedicated to providing patients and advocates with a continuum of services to accelerate their path from early support and awareness through research readiness.

Using a collaborative approach that involves biopharma, researchers and advocates with data as a central core, Global Genes also enables research and data collection through the RARE-X research program. Through this effort, Global Genes is building the largest collaborative patient-driven, open-data access initiative for rare diseases globally.

Agri-Neo and Sesajal announce partnership to innovate food safety and quality for sesame seeds

Leave a comment


The Neo-Pure organic pasteurization process seamlessly integrates into the existing operation flow at Sesajal. Agri-Neo’s precision engineering and dedicated food safety science capabilities help Sesajal save additional costs by utilizing existing equipment to validate a 5-log pathogen reduction.

“The Agri-Neo x Sesajal partnership is a strong combination that will shape the future of food safety for the sesame seeds industry,” said Robert Wong, President of Agri-Neo. “The food quality and safety benefits of Neo-Pure are clear. More forward-thinking food companies like Sesajal are adopting Neo-Pure as an alternative solution to their existing steam, EtO, or RF processes. We are excited to partner with a market leader like Sesajal to make Neo-Pure the food safety standard for sesame seeds.”

Neo-Pure is an innovative organic pasteurization technology for sesame seeds and other low-moisture foods. It delivers up to a validated 5-log reduction of pathogens such as Salmonella and E. coli using a patented blend of organic actives. Since Neo-Pure does not rely on heat, steam, chemical fumigation, or irradiation, Neo-Pure Pasteurized (NPP) sesame seeds maintain food integrity, meaning the natural sensory quality, nutrition, and shelf life remain unchanged, just as nature intended. Neo-Pure safeguards a wide range of sesame products such as raw seeds, tahini, and meal.

Sesajal will showcase Neo-Pure Pasteurized (NPP) sesame seeds and products at the Natural Products Expo East in Philadelphia in September.

About Agri-Neo

The Agri-Neo mission is to help safely feed the world by creating technology that sets new food safety standards. Neo-Pure™, developed by Agri-Neo, eliminates harmful pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli, and Listeria while maintaining the nutrition and quality that flourishes naturally in food. Agri-Neo has a dedicated team of food scientists, researchers, and engineers to launch more food safety solutions for many high-risk food groups in the future. For more information, visit www.agri-neo.com.

We Help You Legal of San Luis Obispo offers a downloadable living trust packet

Leave a comment


It doesn’t take much to reach the $184,500 threshold. People who think they are too young for a will and a trust, or anyone who thinks they really don’t own much of value, are surprised to discover they really do have an estate, and that’s it’s worth more than they imagined.

What’s the difference between a will and a living trust?

  • A will is a legal document that specifies how to distribute assets after death. It can also include other matters such as appointing guardians for minor children or how to care for pets. A will can be challenged by disgruntled relatives who feel they are not getting their share and by creditors. Even a will for an estate that is valued for less than the probate threshold can be tied up in lawsuits. There is no guarantee that any legal proceeding, including probate, is going to honor the wishes set out in the will.
  • A trust is a legal entity with distinct rights wherein the trustee has the rights to hold and manage assets according to the wishes of the trustor (the person who establishes the trust). A living trust, also known as a revocable trust, can be changed or revoked any time the trustor is alive and mentally capable.

The process for setting up a living trust does not have to be complex and expensive, but it must be thorough. We Help You Legal has created a downloadable living trust packet to help anyone interested in setting up their living trust in San Luis Obispo County or anywhere else in California.

The packet includes:

  • A questionnaire to help organize the assets and other matters to be held in trust.
  • A health care directive questionnaire.
  • Appropriate powers of attorney questionnaires.

To download the packet, visit the Services page of the We Help You Legal website.

If the process of creating a trust and making sure everything is included and recorded correctly seems overwhelming. We Help You Legal can assist. The Legal Document Assistants are licensed and bonded with the State of California and specialize in assisting with a variety of legal documents.

The company has been serving California’s Central Coast communities since 2001, with affordable and quality assisted legal document services for divorce, custody, guardianship, adoption, corporation/LLC, deeds, landlord/tenant matters, living trusts for San Luis Obispo and beyond, and more.

We Help You legal is a “self-help” legal document assistance company that provides document preparation without the high cost of an attorney. We Help You Legal, Inc. is not a law firm. We cannot represent you in court, advise you about your legal rights or the law, or select forms for you.
