  • Regenerative Medicine: Current Concepts and Changing Trends
    • - Anthony Atala, M.D., Wake Forest School of Medicine (2012/01/27)
    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    Patients with diseased or injured organs may be treated with transplanted organs. There is a severe shortage of donor organs which is worsening yearly due to the aging population. Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering apply the principles of cell transplantation, material sciences, and bioengineering to construct biological substitutes that may restore and maintain normal function in diseased and injured tissues. Stem cells may offer a potentially limitless source of cells for tissue engineering applications and are opening new options for therapy. Recent advances that have occurred in regenerative medicine will be reviewed and applications of these new technologies that may offer novel therapies for patients with end-stage tissue and organ failure will be described.

    The NIH Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series includes weekly scientific talks by some of the top researchers in the biomedical sciences worldwide.

  • The role of orbitofrontal cortex in reinforcement learning and addiction
    • - Goeffrey Schoenbaum, MD, PhD, NIDA IRP, Chief, Cellular Neurobiology Research Branch (2012/01/26)
    • - Category : Neuroscience
    Neuroscience Seminar Series

    The Schoenbaum lab studies how the orbitofrontal cortex cooperates with other brain areas to guide adaptive decision-making. Evidence suggests that the ability to form and use information about outcomes depends critically upon processing in a circuit of brain regions including the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), basolateral amygdala (ABL) and nucleus accumbens (NA). By studying how these brain areas mediate goal-directed behavior in rats, we can understand how the same circuit functions in humans. More importantly, they can also use our model to study how the normal function of this circuit is disrupted in clinical brain disorders and how treatments might address this disruption. In addition, the Schoenbaum lab has used this work as background to study changes in decision-making in addiction and aging.

  • Will Dendritic Cell Subsets Help Us Address the Challenges of Cancer, Autoimmunity and Chronic Viral Diseases?
    • - Dr. Jacques Banchereau, Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. (2012/01/26)
    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    Jacques Banchereau, PhD, is Head of both the Inflammation and the Virology Discovery and Translational Areas (DTA) and Chief Scientific Officer for Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. (Roche), in Nutley, New Jersey. In this role, he oversees research and early development up to late stage development in the field of Inflammation, including autoimmune and respiratory diseases and in Virology, including hepatitis, influenza and other infectious diseases. As Nutleys Chief Scientific Officer, his mission is to drive scientific excellence and scientific exchange on the Nutley site.

    Jacques joined Roche in 2010 from the Baylor Institute for Immunology Research in Dallas, Texas, where he was the Founder and Director. The Institute was designed on the concept of studying patients suffering from diseases that involve the immune system. During his tenure, Jacques orchestrated the Institutes growth, building a broad human immunology research portfolio by applying a multi-disciplinary approach and actively securing large grants to fund research activities. The Institute also hosts the INSERM Unit U899, specialized in human vaccines. Jacques oversaw the construction of a new Institute, which includes GMP facilities for the production of cells destined to be re-injected to patients. His research group was the first to discover how to grow human dendritic cells, an important breakthrough that led to the better understanding of autoimmune disorders, like lupus, and to the development of dendritic cell-based immunotherapy.

    With ongoing collaborations between Roche and Baylor Institute, Jacques continues to oversee the work in translational research spanning diseases such as cancer (melanoma, breast cancer), autoimmunity (arthritis, lupus) and infectious diseases (HIV, HCV and Influenza).

    After graduating as a pharmacist from University of Angers, France, Jacques transferred to the University of Paris, earning certification in pharmacology and immunology, as well as clinical biochemistry, microbiology, and parasitology, before completing a PhD in biochemistry. During his PhD studies, he spent one year as a research fellow at Columbia University in New York. One year later, Jacques joined Schering Ploughs research unit in Dardilly, France - the beginning of a highly productive 15-year career including the understanding of the biology and therapeutic potential of numerous cytokines.

    As a result of 30 years experience in discovery and translational science, in industry and academia, Jacques is recognized as a world-class leader in immunological research encompassing a vast array of clinical conditions triggered by immunological anomalies and mechanisms. He is inventor or co-inventor on numerous patents and a widely published author.

    Join us for the NIH 2012 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Observance Program. After a long struggle, legislation was signed in 1983 creating a Federal holiday marking the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. The Federal holiday was first observed in 1986, this year marks the 26th anniversary of the King Federal holiday. In 1994, Congress designated the Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Holiday as a national day of service.

    The keynote speaker Lemuel T. Russell IV, Ph.D., is a Regulatory Mammalian Toxicologist for the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). Dr. Russell works in the New Chemicals Safety and Assessment Branch (NCSAB) Risk Assessment Division (RAD) of the USEPA. He provides risk and safety evaluation of industrial chemicals under safety and risk assessment in the new and existing chemicals program at the USEPA.

    The Duke Ellington School of the Arts will also perform.

    Other program participants include Francis Collins, M.D., Ph.D., Director, NIH; Roland Owens, Ph.D., Assistant Director, Office of Intramural Research, NIH; and Sheila Stokes, Esq., Acting Director, Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity Management, NIH.
