  • DDM Seminar Series - The Science of Motivation (NIH Only)
    • - Dan Pink (2012/06/16)
    • - Category : DDM Seminar Series (NIH Only)
    On behalf of Colleen Barros, Deputy Director for Management (DDM), the NIH Training Center is pleased to announce the fourth seminar in the 2012 DDM Seminar Series. The seminar will take place Thursday, June 14th from 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. in Masur Auditorium, Building 10 and will feature speaker Dan Pink.

    Dan Pink is a world renowned author and authority in the field of business. He has had four number one best-sellers including ???A Whole New Mind??? and ???Drive: The Surprising Truth about What Motivates Us.??? Mr. Pink honed his writing skills as a White House speechwriter for former Vice President Al Gore in 1995- 1997. He also worked as an aide to U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich and in other positions in both politics and government.

    Dan Pink will address the NIH community in a presentation titled The Science of Motivation.??? The presentation will examine both conventional an emerging science behind what motivates people. Mr. Pink will explore reward and punishment, the traditional school of thought about motivation. He will also delve into new science which challenges current beliefs and forces one to consider other alternatives to motivate both self and others. Dan Pink will discuss the Three Core Principles of Motivation: Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose. He will also provide participants with concrete motivational practices that can be used on the job.

    Dan Pink???s articles on business and technology appear in many publications, including the New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, Wired, and The Sunday Telegraph. Dan has provided analysis of business trends on CNN, CNBC, ABC, NPR, and other networks in the U.S. and abroad. And he lectures to corporations, associations, and universities around the world on economic transformation and the new workplace.

  • Ca2+ Sensors for Exocytosis
    • - Edwin Chapman, PhD, University of Wisconsin (2012/06/15)
    • - Category : Neuroscience
    Neuroscience Seminar Series

    Dr. Chapman research is focused on understanding the structure, function and dynamics of the exocytotic membrane fusion machine that mediates the release of neurotransmitters from neurons. These studies have begun to reveal insights into how the release machinery is regulated and thereby contributes to neuronal plasticity. Neuronal exocytosis is triggered by Ca2+ and occurs via the abrupt opening of a pre-assembled fusion pore. Subsequent dilation of the pore results in the complete fusion of the vesicle membrane with the plasma membrane. Dr. Chapman is currently identifying and reconstituting the sequential protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions that underlie excitation-secretion coupling. To delineate this pathway, his lab has primarily focused on the Ca2+-binding synaptic-vesicle protein, synaptotagmin, which appears to function as the Ca2+-sensor that regulates release. His work is also focused on components of the SNARE-complex, which is thought to form the core of the fusion apparatus. The rapid kinetics of exocytosis (<1 ms) indicate that only a handful of molecular rearrangements occur to couple Ca2+-synaptotagmin to the opening of the fusion pore. His lab is using a combination of biochemical, biophysical, imaging, spectroscopic and genetic approaches to delineate the interactions/conformational changes that occur during this window of time.

  • Antipoverty Vaccines for the Worlds Neglected Diseases
    • - Dr. Peter J. Hotez, Baylor College of Medicine (2012/06/10)
    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    The neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) represent the most common infections affecting the estimated 100 million people living below the poverty line in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region. An additional five million people live in poverty in the state of Texas, especially in South Texas. Almost all of the ???bottom 100 million??? (as well as many of the five million Texans living in poverty) are affected by one or more NTD caused by hookworm and other intestinal helminth infections, lymphatic filariasis, schistosomiasis, fascioliasis, Chagas disease, leishmaniasis, and neglected bacterial and viral infections such as leptospirosis, yellow fever, and dengue. Mass administration of donated and low-cost generic NTD drugs has eliminated selected NTDs in certain LAC countries. Specifically, schistosomiasis has been eliminated in the Caribbean region; LF in Costa Rica, Suriname, and Trinidad; Trachoma in Mexico; onchoerciasis in the six remaining endemic LAC countries; and leprosy throughout the LAC (except for Brazil). Moreover, great strides have been made in eliminating Chagas disease in the Southern Cone of LAC. There is an urgent need to expand mass drug administration efforts through support of government and agencies such as USAID, and a LAC NTD fund sponsored jointly by the Interamerican Development Bank, PAHO, and the Global Network for NTDs. However, it will be necessary to simultaneously develop and test control tools such as new drugs, vaccines, and diagnostics for many of the NTDs. Several ???antipoverty vaccines??? targeting NTDs are currently under development and undergoing clinical testing through the activities of academic institutions and product development partnerships (PDPs) in collaboration with developing country manufacturers and partners in Brazil (FIOCRUZ, FIOCRUZ-BioManguinhos, Instituto Butantan), Mexico (CINVESTAV, Birmex), Cuba, and elsewhere. Together these organizations are leading a path for innovation to produce new vaccines for Chagas disease, cysticercosis, dengue, fascioliasis, hookworm, leishmaniasis, leprosy, leptospirosis, onchocerciasis, schistosomiasis, and yellow fever. Beyond direct vaccine development, it will be essential to implement global access strategies for these new potentially life saving products, which ultimately could facilitate the elimination of several key NTDs that pose public health problems in the LAC region.
