- Ambassador Mark R. Dybul, M.D., will outline guiding principles for a new global health approach focused on the overall health of people and communities, rather than the eradication of specific diseases, during the 2012 Joseph J. Kinyoun Memorial Lecture. Titled ？？？Reshaping Global Health: Translating Scientific Advances into Global Action,？？？ the NIAID-sponsored lecture will take place Tuesday, October 2 at 2 p.m. in the Lipsett Amphitheater, Bldg. 10.
Dybul co-directs the Global Health Law Program in Georgetown University？？？s O？？？Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law, where he is also a distinguished scholar. He is also the inaugural global health fellow of the George W. Bush Institute.
As former U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator (2006 to 2009), Dybul oversaw the implementation of the President？？？s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), one of the largest international health initiatives in history aimed at addressing a single disease. In his discussion of the future of global health, Dybul will examine the need to reconfigure the funding of global health programs to be more centralized, efficient, innovative, free of conflicts of interest and drawn equitably from local sources.

- Protein Homeostasis and Aggregation in Neurodegenerative Disease

- - Category : Neuroscience
- Neuroscience Seminar Series
Dr. Kopitos lab studies the cellular mechanisms that monitor protein biogenesis and ensure that only properly folded and assembled proteins are deployed within the cell. Proteins that fail to fold or assemble correctly can acquire alternative conformations that may give rise to highly toxic products. Therefore, cells contain machinery to recognize and destroy malfolded proteins. Mutations and genetic polymorphisms can result in the synthesis of misfolded polypeptides. Human genetic diseases therefore constitute a fertile source of naturally occurring mutants that provide insight into the nature of these quality control mechanisms. Both cis-acting mutations that directly affect the production of correctly assembled proteins and trans-acting mutations that affect the function of the cellular quality control machinery are linked to such diverse genetic disorders as cystic fibrosis and Lou Gehrigs and Huntingtons diseases.
Research in the Dr. Kopitos lab is focused on two general questions: (1) How do cells make sure that only structurally correct proteins are deployed? How do cells discriminate between folded and misfolded proteins? Genetic biochemical and cell biological approaches are used to identify the machinery involved in recognizing and destroying misfolded proteins. (2) How do misfolded proteins acquire toxic properties that lead to cell death and ultimately to neurodegeneration? What mechanisms do neurons have to suppress the formation of such toxic conformers and why in some cases do these mechanisms fail? Biochemical biophysical and genetic approaches ranging from fluorescence spectroscopy to the creation of transgenic and knockout mice are applied to address these questions.

- Decision Related Activity and Top-down Attentional Modulations in Primate VI
-
- - Eyal Seidemann, PhD, University of Texas at Austin (2012/09/27)
- - Category : Neuroscience
- Neuroscience Seminar Series
Dr. Eyal Seidemann has pioneered the use of optical imaging in awake primates doing demanding psychophysical tasks, to probe the relationship between behavior and sensory signals in cortical maps. A fundamental feature of many sensory and motor areas is the use of orderly maps for the representation of sensory and motor signals. In these maps, the value of the parameter computed by individual neurons (e.g., the orientation of a line segment; the direction and amplitude of a planned eye movement) changes systematically across one or two dimensions of a neural structure. Incoming neural signals, therefore, are rapidly transformed into a ？？？place code？？？ ？？？ where the spatial pattern of activity within the map conveys information about a sensory stimulus or a planned movement. Because sensory and motor neurons are typically coarsely tuned, that is, each neuron responds to a broad range of stimulus or movement parameters, any stimulus or motor response elicits neural activity that is distributed over a large population of neurons within the neural map.
Using a novel combination of optical imaging and electrophysiological techniques in awake, behaving primates, Dr. Seidemann has directly visualized the functional organization and the spatial pattern of population activity in cortical maps in real-time, while subjects perform demanding, well controlled, perceptual, cognitive, or motor tasks. These observations are combined with computational models that attempt to explain how the measured neural activity could lead to the observed behavior. These models are further tested by measuring how perceptual judgments or motor plans change following selective manipulations of the neural response by microstimulation or pharmacological microinjections. This unique combination of approaches puts Dr. Seidemann？？？s work at the forefront of modern attempts to explain the link between activity in sensory neurons and behavior.

- NIH Behavioral and Social Sciences Research Lecture Series (BSSR) Sponsored by the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research, Office of the Director, NIH
Abstract: Injuries, unintentional and violent, are the leading cause of death from ages 1 to 44 and they are the second most costly health problem in America. Prevention research in the injury field has matured over the last few decades and results offer optimism for reducing this toll in the future. This talk will provide an overview of the field, its history of accomplishments, as well as the challenges and opportunities that face it in the future. An emphasis will be placed on prevention research of particular relevance to the NIH mission and institutes, with examples drawn from injuries that affect the population across the lifespan.
Bio: Dr. Gielen？？？s research interests are in the development and evaluation of community and clinic-based programs that address health behavior problems affecting women and children, primarily among low-income families in urban areas. The application of behavioral sciences to childhood injury control and domestic violence prevention programs, and the relationship between violence and HIV risk are areas of special focus. Childhood injury problems of particular interest are fires, burns, CO poisoning, and motor vehicle crashes. Dr. Gielen？？？s current research focuses on the use of computers for patient and public safety education; community interventions to improve home safety; translation research to disseminate proven injury prevention interventions; the impact of housing conditions on child safety; and stage tailored clinical interventions for survivors of domestic violence living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS.

- - Category : Medicine: Mind the Gap
- Ms. Tanielian will discuss the concept of psychological resilience and highlight how the U.S. Department of Defense has implemented programs to promote psychological resilience in an effort to prepare troops and their families for the challenges of deployment. She also will review how these approaches have evolved over the past several years and how the concept of Total Force Fitness is shaping future training and prevention efforts within the military.
Ms. Tanielian is a senior analyst at the RAND Corporation. She received an M.A. in psychology from American University. Her areas of research interest include the psychological effects of combat, terrorism and disasters, psychological resilience and suicide prevention, as well as access to, and quality of, behavioral healthcare for returning veterans. Ms. Tanielian has worked on several studies on the behavioral health-related needs of returning Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans and their families, including co-leading the landmark study, ？？？Invisible Wounds of War.？？？ Ms. Tanielian is currently leading a new prospective longitudinal study to follow military families across a deployment cycle and is also the lead on a study to assess the veteran support programs under the Welcome Back Veterans Initiative. She is serving as a co-investigator on a large randomized controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of stepped care for post-traumatic stress disorder and depression within the U.S. Army and has published several peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, and served on numerous working groups and expert panels. Ms. Tanielian serves as an ad hoc reviewer for multiple scientific journals. From 2004 to 2012, she directed RAND Corporation？？？s Center for Military Health Policy Research; in this capacity, she oversaw RAND？？？s diverse portfolio of research on issues related to military and veterans？？？ healthcare policy. Ms. Tanielian also was a member of the planning committee for the 2010 Rosalynn Carter Symposium on Mental Health Policy, which focused on the mental health needs of returning veterans.
The Medicine: Mind the Gap seminar series explores a wide range of issues at the intersection of research, evidence, and clinical practice, especially areas in which conventional wisdom may be misleading. The seminar series aims to engage the National Institutes of Health community in thought-provoking discussions to challenge what we think we know and to think critically about our role in today？？？s research environment. Seminars to date have explored gaps between ethical theory and medical practice, the role of medical evidence in reducing practice variation and controlling costs, and special challenges of ？？？rules of evidence？？？ in translational research.
