- The Cardiac Organellar Protein Atlas (COPa) Library: Efforts to Advance Cardiovascular Biology and Medicine

- - Category : Proteomics
- NIH Proteomics Interest Group Seminar Series
The rapid development of high accuracy and high sensitivity mass spectrometry technologies has revolutionized our understanding of proteins and their contribution to cellular function. However, there is an increasingly apparent disconnect between these state-of-the-art tools and their effective applications to advance cardiovascular biology and medicine. Despite progress made in certain areas of investigation, cardiovascular proteomic research faces three major challenges: the excessive cost of instrumentation; the limited accessibility of advanced proteomic technology to the cardiovascular community at large; and the overwhelming quantity and fragmented nature of mass spectra datasets lacking functional annotations. These economic, technological, and informatic limitations are prohibitive to further advancement of the field.
To move the field forward, our investigator team identified several key challenges that commonly surround mass spectrometer data processing and non-targeted database searches. Accordingly, we constructed a Cardiac-specific Organelle Protein atlas (COPa) Library, which provides a specialized, comprehensive, and interactive resource for the cardiovascular community. We engineered a robust and high fidelity library to enable targeted protein and peptide data searches with detailed functional and phenotype annotations. This library will catalogue experimental peptide spectra, protein imaging data, and protein array data obtained from cardiovascular organelles of human as well as other species; it will contain a Wiki-like web interface to engage the participation of the cardiovascular community; and it will build a cardiovascular proteome knowledgebase with efforts from proteomic scientists, biologists, and cardiovascular clinicians.
In summary, this COPa Library creates an essential tool box to support the translation of proteomic data into the advancement of cardiovascular biology and medicine; it will bridge the gap between traditional data-driven proteomic studies and hypothesis-driven investigations widely employed by the cardiovascular community, propelling innovation and new discoveries.

- Workshop on Long-term Preservation & Management of Electronic Health Records (Day 1)
-
- - National Library of Medicine, Department of Veteran Affairs, National Archives and Records Administration, and National Institute of Standards and Technology (2011/04/17)
- - Category : Conferences
- Electronic health-related patient information is vital for clinical care and medical research. However, systems interoperability for preservation, storage, and accessibility of such health data have not yet been defined.
Clinical data in digital form represents a digital library, and inherits all the same administration and technical issues faced by digital libraries in other fields:- what to retain and for how long
- how to handle obsolescence of hardware and software
- interchange of information
- costs
- assignment of responsibility
- standards
Replacing lost data even if possible, will entail huge costs for patients, clinicians, administrators, pharmacists, and potentially, the entire countrys economy.

- Social Context as Risk Regulator: Extending the Stream of Causation in Health Research
-
- - Thomas A. Glass, Ph.D. (2011/04/16)
- - Category : BSSR Lecture Series
- Causation is the central problem of health research. Our causal discourse shapes what we study, and how and where we intervene. The potential outcomes model is the most widely accepted causal framework in Epidemiology. However, many ？？？upstream？？？ factors of greatest interest to social scientists are incompatible with this framework. This contributes to a narrow focus on individual-level ？？？down-stream？？？ risk factors and to ineffective interventions that target individuals while ignoring social context.
This lecture will review causal discourse in light of the stream of causation metaphor, and suggest the concept of a risk regulator to address several key challenges. We attempt to upgrade this metaphor with a three-dimensional socio-environmental topography of risk. We argue that public health research may be improved by focusing on health behaviors as strategic action in the context of opportunities and constraints imposed by particular social settings. Several examples are given to illustrate how existing analytic tools can be used to study risk regulators. Finally, attention is given to the need for more contextually embedded data and emerging methods of data analysis that may improve the study of the role of social context in health research.

- - Category : STEP (HHS Only)
- Everyone has heard: ？？？Laughter is the best medicine？？？ and now there is scientific evidence to support it. For example, mirthful laughter can improve blood flow, acting like ？？？internal jogging.？？？ This reduces stress, boosts human growth hormone and the immune system. In addition, cancer patients whose treatments include laughter therapy report reduced pain and more rapid return to regular activities at home. Come out of your office and laugh out loud with us. We？？？ll teach you the physiology of laughter and how it can work in medical treatment and every day life. You？？？ll experience your own laughter therapy and still call it ？？？work？？？! LOL

- Revised Peer Review Appeals Policy - a Train-the-Trainer event (HHS Only)
-
- - Sally Rockey, Ann Hagan, Merrill Mitler, Sally Amero (2011/04/15)
- - Category : ESA (HHS Only)
- The purpose of this train-the-trainer event is to inform NIH extramural staff of imminent revisions to the NIH policy concerning appeals of the initial peer review process. Members of EPMC, PLC, TAC, RPC, and GMAC are invited, along with all the IC Executive Officers and Appeals Officers. Additional staff may attend.
The new appeals policy was developed at the request of the NIH Director to facilitate consistent handling of appeals across the agency. Before the revised appeals policy is issued publicly, members of the NIH functional committees (EPMC, PLC, TAC, RPC, GMAC), Executive Officers and Appeals Officers will have this opportunity to learn the new requirements and procedures for handling appeals, and to inform their IC colleagues of these changes.

- Reason for Hope - The Way Ahead (HHS Only)
-
- - Dr. Jane Goodall (2011/04/14)
- - Category : HHS Only
- The year 2010 marked a monumental milestone for the Jane Goodall Institute and its founder, Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE. Fifty years ago, Dr. Goodall, who is today a world-renowned primatologist, conservationist and UN Messenger of Peace, first set foot on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, in what is now Tanzania？？？s Gombe National Park. The chimpanzee behavioral research she pioneered there has produced a wealth of scientific discovery, and her vision has expanded into a global mission to empower people of all ages to make a difference for all living things.
In her lecture, Dr. Goodall will reflect？？？both personally and professionally？？？on the meaning of the past five decades, the extraordinary changes the world has seen since 1960, and the impact these changes have had on people, animals and the environment we all share. In addition, she will discuss the role we must all play over the next 50 years to ensure a better future for generations to come.

- Neuroscience Seminar Series
The goal of Dr. Rubenstein？？？s research is to elucidate fundamental mechanisms that regulate development of the forebrain and in parallel, whether disruption of these mechanisms underlie human disorders, such as autism, schizophrenia, mental retardation, epilepsy and craniofacial disorders. Investigations include studies on secreted factors, such as Fgf8 and Fgf17, that function in regionalization of the neural plate and cerebral cortex. They have shown that Fgf17 mutant mice have hypoplasia of their anterior cingulate gyrus, and behavioral deficits in social interactions. Ongoing studies also focus on defining transcription factors that control CNS development, including Nkx genes (specifying ventral neural progenitors) and Dlx1 and 2 (involved in differentiation of GABAergic neurons). In addition, Dr. Rubenstein has been involved in investigations on tangential migration in the CNS. Studying the migration of GABAergic neurons from the subcortical telencephalon into the cerebral cortex, both factors controlling movement of the cells as well as integration of the cells once they reach their destination. Finally, the lab has a longstanding clinical interest in Autism, with work focused on sequencing of candidate genes and functional analyses of mutant alleles.
