What is your favorite aspect of your job at YU I love teaching altogether  but having the opportunity to engage  advise  educate and wish a Good Shabbos to my students  with whom I relate to on such a connected basis  does make YU a special place for me
Tell us a bit about the new MS in Taxation Program that you are running The Masters of Science in Taxation reflects the creative programming that Sy Syms is encouraging across the board in all business fields
We recognized that our students  as well as some of the more experienced working professionals  were interested in furthering their technical knowledge  skills and academic credentials in taxation and we strived to fulfill that need by creating an innovative  very economical Tax Masters that will be taught by extremely experienced  highly qualified professors in a one year program The small classes will be taught at Beren  YU midtown campus  two evenings a week  so that students will have the ability to work or study for the CPA exam during the day  conveniently achieve the MS Tax in the evenings and still have time to enjoy life as it should be
Amongst the tax courses offered and taught by CPAs  JD LLMs  and IRS agents  will be International Tax  Ethical Tax Practice   Procedures  State Tax  Contemporary Tax Issues  Estate Tax  Deferred Compensation  and Reorganization Liquidations It is an exciting program that employers are already interested in partnering with in order to get a first crack at our well educated future graduates
What profession did you think you would one day hold when you were a child Given that my birthday is April   th  I should have known early on that I d be a CPA
As a child  which I still am I was going to be a spy for the Mossad  still would like that     Chief Rabbi of Israel  definitely not these days   or Professor   Director of the Masters in Tax program at YU  so I worked real hard  brushed my teeth  said my prayers and lo and behold  my dream came true
How do you stay connected with students once they graduate Email is the easiest and I continue to send out relevant  and that I think are    interesting tax articles but most enjoyably is running into them at various events or countries and catching up with what they re up to  professionally and personally
I love hearing how they passed the CPA exam or accomplished some major technical hurdle and giving me credit for having made it possible True or not  it always feels great
I am really a nice  quiet guy who is never critical or cynical  now that would really surprise everyone And the rest we ll keep under wraps
Abraham  Avri  Ravid  is Sy Syms Professor of Finance        Abraham  Avri Ravid  is Sy Syms Professor of Finance  at the Sy Syms School of Business of Yeshiva University
A Yom Kippur War veteran and war correspondent     Ravid has spoken on national Israeli and American radio about his experiences He has close to    refereed publications  in various journals including the Review of Financial Studies and the Journal of Finance as well as book chapters  monographs and other publications
His current research interests include corporate finance  mergers  bankruptcy  and corporate debt   contracting theory and venture capital as well as the entertainment industry He has received several awards and prizes for his research
Ravid has presented at major conferences as well as in Universities including Yale and Wharton  and many others around the world He has consulted to governments in Israel and the US as well as to private industry
Ravid work has been covered by the press around the world  including the NYTimes  Wall Street Journal  the BBC   Yedioth  IDF radio and many others in the US and around the world His  most recent interview was April     which will be broadcast on NPR later in the month
What is your favorite aspect of your job at YU I like and respect my students
I have taught in many universities  from top Ivy League schools such as Yale and Cornell to state schools such as Rutgers and I spent much time teaching at Haifa University in Israel Syms students make the top of the list for me
They are eager to learn  have a respectful attitude towards the professors and work hard The dual curriculum helps much in that respect as I have learned with my own kids
And in real life hard work is the only predictor of success one can control I also like my colleagues and because  Syms and YU are small  you get to work closely with people in other disciplines
In my roles in university committees and as VP  and incoming president  of the faculty council I also get to interact with colleagues in entirely different disciplines The Jewish calendar is of course a plus  since you never have to reschedule classes because of Jewish Holidays as was the case when I taught in other universities
Some of the students end up on Wall Street broadly defined  most often in banks Others work in real estate and a significant proportion goes on to graduate schools  sometimes the best   this year I have a student who is continuing at Penn Law and Wharton  Former students ended up in Harvard law school and similar high quality universities
What profession did you think you would one day hold when you were a child I have always been interested in various areas from math and physics to acting public speaking communications and literature  so I have changed my mind often
I worked on documentary movies when I was a teenager  considered going to the Technion for Physics  and ended up as a professional journalist as my first real job after the army However  I found reporting with a daily deadline not sufficiently fulfilling  and thus decided to try for a PhD at Cornell
What research are you working on now One of the main aspects defining your professional life in a top level university is research
Although I have been an academic for more than three decades  I am still excited about new ideas and about in depth exploration of various topics For example  we  colleagues from Cornell and the University of Texas  have just published a paper which debunks the myth that internet reviews have replaced professional reviews  in determining which movie consumers will go to see
Another paper provides a new look at firm hedging policies Another just accepted paper  which is co authored with colleagues at the University of Chicago NJIT and the University of Texas  looks at intellectual property contracts  a very hot topic these days
I am now working with my colleague Shu Han at Syms on a project  with some funding from the New York City Mayor Office of media and entertainment  which tries to assess whether women have equal opportunities in the movie business  another project looks at the value of human capital in the theater We are also working on a project  with Gabriela Coiculescu at Syms and a colleague at Baruch  which looks at the determinants of innovation in firms and finally some work in progress with a colleague at NYU looks at the fundamentals of value creation in firms
When I was a teenager  I met the US secretary general and appeared on several coast to coast TV shows on CBS This was when I represented Israel in a youth leadership conference organized by the state department
Later  I tried to find copies of these shows  but CBS does not have them and all I have are low quality shots of the TV screen However  I cherish the experience and I am grateful for the many interesting people I met during that first enchanted visit to the US
They include for example  Erkki Liikanen  who represented Finland in that conference We were roommates in an orientation offered to the delegates from over    countries  and he went on to become an MP in Finland  then finance minister and now the head of the central bank
We are still in touch  many decades later Dear Students  Faculty  Staff and Friends  I am pleased to present to you this Guide to our plans for the upcoming fall semester and reopening of our campuses
Next year will be a formative year in the lives of our students  and together we will rise to the moment so that our students will emerge stronger and better prepared to be leaders of the world of tomorrow Best Wishes   Ari Berman

Rebecca Russo Schlossberg  a recent graduate of the M  in Biotechnology Management and Entrepreneurship   is developing an at home miscarriage test kit for her own startup Genosa Diagnostics It for individuals who have a miscarriage at home and would like to know if it was due to a genetic or chromosomal abnormality in the fetus   she said
More than half of miscarriages are the result of chromosomal abnormalities in the fertilized egg  which can cause developmental problems that result in an unviable fetus Russo Schlossberg test would be important because individuals who miscarry in their first trimester typically do so at home and thus don t have the opportunity to genetically test the fetal tissue to determine a cause

When Shanza Baseer Tariq graduated in May with a master degree in Biotechnology Management and Entrepreneurship from the Katz School of Science and Health  she already had a publication track record and a job waiting for her as a research assistant at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center At Sloan Kettering  Shanza engages in basic research on immunotherapy  working with cell tissue cultures  propagating cell lines  and conducting experiments on the effects of viruses on tumors in mice
Read the entire story in the Katz blog Avi Strauss  a recent Katz School biotech graduate  has performed a detailed market analysis on a new drug therapy for colorectal cancer
The analysis recommended that Sapience Therapeutics  a New York based biotech company  develop a molecule called a novel beta catenin antagonist for treatment of the cancer Beta catenin is part of the Wnt signaling pathway  which promotes tumor growth and suppresses the immune system
In addition to colorectal cancer  Strauss reviewed four other types of cancer that have high mortality rates and resist conventional therapies  acute lymphocytic leukemia  breast cancer  melanoma  and multiple myeloma He found that colorectal cancer patients would be a prime population for Sapience novel peptide because of the high incidence of a mutation in the Wnt signaling pathway that results in its overactivation and leads to the formation of cancer
Colorectal cancer presents the highest upside according to the revenue projection model   said Strauss  who is a healthcare consultant for the Marwood Group   and presents the largest potential available population among the five cancer types studied     Sapience therapeutic approach  according to    Kappel  is to target protein protein interactions  PPIs  that seem necessary to the survival of cancer or that inhibit the immune system response to cancerous tumors The interactions targeted by Sapience are considered  undruggable  due to the intracellular location of the PPIs  making them difficult to treat with small molecule drugs such as chemotherapies that are incapable of disrupting PPIs  and biologic based drugs like monoclonal antibodies that are too big to enter cells
Peptides combine the best properties of small and large molecules   said    Kappel   and present an opportunity to disrupt intracellular PPIs and to reduce mortality in cancer patients and possibly in other diseases     Robert Friedman  an adjunct professor in the biotechnology program and Strauss advisor  said that Strauss presentation demonstrates the strength of the  molecule to market nature  of the Katz School biotechnology program and its emphasis on understanding the science  and translating it into practical and actionable decisions Avi understanding of the science  clinical development and the market were all critical to successfully completing the project   he said

It for individuals who have a miscarriage at home and would like to know if it was due to a genetic or chromosomal abnormality in the fetus   she said More than half of miscarriages are the result of chromosomal abnormalities in the fertilized egg  which can cause developmental problems that result in an unviable fetus
Russo Schlossberg test would be important because individuals who miscarry in their first trimester typically do so at home and thus don t have the opportunity to genetically test the fetal tissue to determine a cause Read the entire story here

Avi Strauss  a recent Katz School biotech graduate  has performed a detailed market analysis on a new drug therapy for colorectal cancer The analysis recommended that Sapience Therapeutics  a New York based biotech company  develop a molecule called a novel beta catenin antagonist for treatment of the cancer
Beta catenin is part of the Wnt signaling pathway  which promotes tumor growth and suppresses the immune system In addition to colorectal cancer  Strauss reviewed four other types of cancer that have high mortality rates and resist conventional therapies  acute lymphocytic leukemia  breast cancer  melanoma  and multiple myeloma
He found that colorectal cancer patients would be a prime population for Sapience novel peptide because of the high incidence of a mutation in the Wnt signaling pathway that results in its overactivation and leads to the formation of cancer Colorectal cancer presents the highest upside according to the revenue projection model   said Strauss  who is a healthcare consultant for the Marwood Group   and presents the largest potential available population among the five cancer types studied     Sapience therapeutic approach  according to    Kappel  is to target protein protein interactions  PPIs  that seem necessary to the survival of cancer or that inhibit the immune system response to cancerous tumors
