- We have previously shown that mice lacking the adaptor protein Schnurri-3 display a profound high bone mass phenotype due to augmented anabolic bone formation. In addition to regulating bone formation by osteoblasts in a cell-intrinsic manner, Shn3 indirectly controls bone resorption in vivo. In most instances, bone formation is coupled with bone resorption, which limits the efficacy of the currently marked anti-resorptives. However, in this instance, we demonstrate that these two processes can be uncoupled by genetic manipulation of Shn3 raising the possibility that its inhibition would be beneficial in the setting of diseases of low bone mass such as osteoporosis. We have recently used both unbiased and Schnurri-3 biased forward genetic RNAi screens coupled with extensive gene profiling analyses to assemble a picture of osteoblast signaling pathways proximal to or instigated by Schnurri3. These analyses have provided novel targets in osteoblasts that control adult bone mass.

- Neurobiologists have utilized advanced molecular biological assays and immunohistochemistry to better identify the cause and progression of neurological diseases and disorders. However, these techniques are limited because they are required to be performed on biopsied or postmortem brain samples and therefore lack broad clinical applicability.
Medical imaging modalities such as MRI/MRS, PET, CT and optical imaging, as well as their co-modalities, have enabled real-time visualization of the structure and function of the central nervous system in live subjects. Because they do not require biopsied or postmortem samples, most of these technologies are routinely used in clinics and offer minimally-invasive means to detect structural, metabolic and physiologic processes of the brain in action for research and clinical purposes. The development of novel imaging technologies requires strong knowledge and background in chemistry, physics and engineering. For example, chemists synthesize specialized radiopharmaceuticals, contrast agents and probes to improve image contrast and detect cellular targets. Engineers design coils/sensors with different geometries to maximize signal-to-noise for specific areas of interest. Physicists develop specialized pulse sequences and data processing algorithms to acquire and interpret data with good image resolution in order to gain insights into neural structure, function and activity.
Numerous synergistic research efforts across disciplinary borders have produced stunning advances in understanding the brain in health and illness. This symposium brings together leaders in this interdisciplinary science to demonstrate the fruits of such efforts and the promise that imaging continues to hold for transforming human neuroscience.

Click here to respond to a survey about this DDM Seminar. Information will be used to evaluate the program and improve future seminars.
On behalf of Colleen Barros, Deputy Director for Management (DDM), the NIH Training Center is pleased to announce the 4th seminar of the 2010-2011 DDM Seminar Series featuring Rick Searfoss. He will address the NIH community in a presentation about leadership and team work titled ？？？Apogee! Take your Team to the Top.？？？
Retired Colonel Rick Searfoss shares with only a handful of people in history the sublime joys of actually flying in space. In his career he has led many different teams, including commanding the most complex science research space mission ever, the STS-90 Neurolab flight on Columbia. He also piloted two other space flights, including a joint Russian-American mission to the Mir space station.
Colonel Searfoss stays very active as an expert speaker on the topics of leadership, teamwork, innovation, and peak performance (www.astronautspeaker.com). His extensive leadership experience enables him to fulfill his mission of sharing the teamwork, leadership, and innovation lessons of human space flight while bringing the wonder of Space to Earth for all to enjoy.
Colonel Searfoss completed a B.S. in aeronautical engineering from the USAF Academy in 1978, an M.S. in aeronautics from the California Institute of Technology on a National Science Foundation Fellowship in 1979, and USAF Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College, and Air War College.
This presentation is built around essential principles of ？？？Purpose, Program, People, and Perspective？？？ that leaders must balance to get the job done, build their organization, and uplift their team:- Purpose - Finding and achieving the ？？？Mission that Matters？？？
- Program - Continually improving effective operational execution
- People - Working the ？？？Matrix？？？ for cohesive teams
- Perspective ？？？ The ？？？Overview Effect？？？

- Neuroscience Seminar Series
Dr. Akira Sawa is the Director of the Program in Molecular Psychiatry and Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Department of Neuroscience Graduate Program in Cellular and Molecular Medicine. He received his MD and PhD from the University of Tokyo, Japan in 1990 and 1994, respectively. From there he moved to Johns Hopkins University to do postdoctoral work with Dr. Solomon Snyder, and he subsequently became part of the Hopkins faculty.
The research in his laboratory is directed towards understanding the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric illnesses, especially schizophrenia and neurodegenerative disorders, at the molecular level. In a bottom-up approach, the lab focuses on molecular targets, such as disease risk gene products and/or key cellular mediators, testing how such molecular targets are functionally related with each other in cells and neuronal networks of animal models, and how they contribute to development of disease phenotypes during a time course. A recent study indicates that schizophrenia-associated alteration of Disrupted-In-Schizophrenia (DISC1) leads to disturbance of proper development in cerebral cortex. In a top-down approach, clinical information and patient tissues are analyzed towards identifying novel molecular targets or new biomarkers of disease. Biopsy of olfactory epithelium from schizophrenics is used to characterize neuronal cells, and lymphoblastoid cells collected from peripheral blood are analyzed with microarray and proteomic approaches to identify novel and useful biomarkers for schizophrenia.

Delayed, ineffective, and incomplete access to information may lead to uninformed decision making and loss of coordination in patient care that, in turn, may lead to medical errors. Despite the increase access to information resources, gaps in knowledge still exist and can have significant detrimental effects in patient care. In the Context-initiated Question and Response (？？？CIQR？？？) project we explored technologies to help clinicians articulate information needs that arise during clinical practice, and address them in a timely manner that fits with clinical workflow.
We apply natural language processing technology to identify context, goals and preferences in clinicians？？？ questions. In addition, we explore the performance of human experts as a unique prototyping methodology for developing an information system. Using cognitive methods, the approach leverages human abilities and progressively gives way to automation as the sophistication of the system evolve. This approach also plays an important role in the analysis of the information and clinical workflow.
The major innovation was the generation of complex search strategies that exploit this contextual information, based on studies of human searching experts (reference librarians). Challenges, successes, and failures will be discussed.

- - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
- As a basic immunologist, EVC Director Dr. Rafi Ahmed studies immunological memory ？？？ the ability of the immune system to ？？？remember？？？ a particular antigen and respond accordingly. Dr. Ahmed and his colleagues have made significant discoveries about how immune memory cells are created and how long they survive; understanding these mechanisms is crucial to the development of vaccines for HIV and other infectious agents. In addition to contributing vitally to vaccine science, Dr. Ahmed？？？s findings are being applied to research into therapies for the treatment of cancer and the prevention of organ rejection.
Dr. Ahmed holds the title of Georgia Research Alliance Scholar in Vaccine Research and is a Professor of Microbiology and Immunology in the Emory University School of Medicine. He received his Ph.D. in microbiology from Harvard University. Before coming to Emory in 1995, he was a Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Medicine.
