  • Beta Cell ERKonomics. Functions of ERK1/2 in Pancreatic Beta Cells

    Diabetes mellitus is a huge health burden due to decreased quality of life and the escalating cost of treatment. Obesity, insulin resistance and metabolic abnormalities in liver, adipose, and muscle are important factors in disease. Most of the gene loci recently found associated with type 2 diabetes, however, encode proteins that enable insulin production from pancreatic beta cells. Nutrients and hormones regulate not only insulin secretion, but also the capacity of b cells to continue to produce insulin. During the onset of diabetes, pancreatic beta cells become unable to produce sufficient insulin to maintain blood glucose within the normal range. Among important nutrient-sensing pathways are the mitogen-activated protein kinases, ERK1/2. These protein kinases are essential for nutrient-stimulated insulin gene transcription, and also contribute to reduced nutrient-induced insulin gene transcription following long term hyperglycemia and hyperglycemia combined with proinflammatory cytokines. The core ERK1/2 cascade kinases are associated with the insulin gene and we are examining how they act on the insulin gene promoter. We are also examining molecular mechanisms of action of small molecules that enhance b-cell function. These molecules stimulate insulin production by b cells, improve oral glucose tolerance of mice, and restore insulin production by human islets in long term culture. We have identified a number of changes that take place in b cells treated with these drugs, including epigenetic alterations, and changes in concentrations of key transcription factors. These small molecules may offer promise for future diabetic therapies.

    • - Category : DDM Seminar Series (NIH Only)
    Management and Science: Partnering for Excellence

    On behalf of Colleen Barros, Deputy Director for Management (DDM), the NIH Training Center is pleased to announce the third seminar of the 2011 - 2012 DDM Seminar Series featuring Professor Michael Roberto. Professor Roberto will address the NIH community in a presentation titled Leaders as Problem Finders. The presentation will provide guidance to NIH leaders and staff on how to identify and prevent problems before they happen, with practical techniques for recognizing hidden signs of trouble and for defusing the potential threat.

    Professor Roberto is a preeminent authority on strategic decision-making, senior management teams, and neutralizing hidden threats to your organization. He has studied how interpersonal dynamics cause catastrophic organizational failures (such as the Columbia Space Shuttle accident and the 1996 Mount Everest tragedy) and how to structure decision-making processes for success.

    Professor Roberto is the author of Know What You Dont Know and Why Great Leaders Don???t Take Yes for an Answer: Managing for Conflict and Consensus. He is the Trustee Professor of Management at Bryant University. He served for six years on the faculty at Harvard Business School and has been a Visiting Associate Professor of Management at New York University???s Stern School of Business. He is a three-time winner of the Outstanding MBA Teaching Award at Bryant University. He also has won Harvard???s Allyn Young Prize for Teaching in Economics on two occasions. Bryant named him the Faculty Mentor of the Year in 2009.

    Professor Roberto has consulted with and taught in the leadership development programs of organizations as diverse as Target, Apple, Morgan Stanley, Coca-Cola, Cisco, Mars, Wal-Mart, Novartis, Siemens, Federal Express, Johnson & Johnson, and Bank of New York Mellon.

  • Learning to See Late in Life
    • - Pawan Sinha, Ph.D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2012/05/26)
    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    The hope inherent in pursuing basic research is that sometime in the future the work will prove beneficial to society. This fruition can often take many years. However, in some instances, even the conduct of basic research can yield tangible societal benefits. Dr. Sinha will describe an effort that perhaps fits in this category. Named Project Prakash, this initiative provides sight to blind children on the one hand and helps address questions regarding brain plasticity and learning on the other. Through a combination of behavioral and brain-imaging studies, the effort has provided evidence of visual learning late in childhood and has illuminated some of the processes that might underlie such learning.

    J. Edward Rall Cultural Lecture

    Thomas L. Friedman is an internationally renowned journalist, columnist, author, and three-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Since joining the New York Times staff in 1981, he has been a financial reporter, Beirut bureau chief, Jerusalem bureau chief, chief diplomatic correspondent, chief White House correspondent, international economics correspondent, and, in 1995, he took over the Foreign Affairs column. He has written six best-selling books, including The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century. His most recent book, published in 2011 and co-authored with Johns Hopkins University foreign policy expert Michael Mandelbaum, is That Used to Be Us: How America Fell Behind in the World It Invented and How We Can Come Back. The book addresses how America should tackle the four great challenges it faces???globalization, the revolution in information technology, the nations chronic deficits, and our pattern of excessive energy consumption

    • - Category : John R. LaMontagne
    GAVI CEO Seth Berkley will describe the challenges and successes of bringing lifesaving vaccines to people who live in the poorest countries during the 2012 John Ring LaMontagne Memorial Lecture sponsored by NIAID. Titled Getting the Miracle of Vaccines to Those Who Most Need Them. A physician and epidemiologist, Berkley has devoted his career to improving international public health primarily through vaccines. Before joining the GAVI Alliance in 2011, Berkley was the founding president and CEO of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI), a non-governmental organization dedicated to aggressively pursuing novel approaches to AIDS vaccine development.

    The LaMontagne lecture honors contributions to NIH and public health made by Dr. LaMontagne during his 30-year career with NIAID. He earned international recognition, numerous accolades and widespread admiration for his distinguished leadership and accomplishments in fighting emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. He served as NIAID deputy director from 1998 until his untimely death in 2004.
