    • - NCI (2011/02/11)
    • - Category : Conferences
    Racial/ethnic discrimination is often identified as a contributor to racial/ethnic disparities in health but rarely examined in this context. The Applied Research and the Behavioral Research Programs of the Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH) are sponsoring a three-day conference to examine the research and research methods for investigating the role of racial/ethnic discrimination in health. The specific purposes of the meeting are to (1) promote the science/research on racial/ethnic discrimination and its contribution to racial/ethnic disparities in health; (2) identify gaps in the research literature and areas for future research and/or NCI/NIH funding initiatives; and (3) increase awareness of the NCI???s interest in funding research in this topic area through the Program Announcement, The Effect of Racial and Ethnic Discrimination/Bias on Health Care Delivery (PA-080-083, PA-08-084, PA-08-085)

    Neuroscience Seminar Series

    Inside the human brain, one region looms largest: the cerebral cortex. From thinking to memory, music to mental illness, the cortex controls much of human behavior. To understand this complex structure, Dr. Yuste has pioneered a combination of optical imaging and electrophysiological recording techniques to study patterns of neural activity. He is pursuing a reverse engineering strategy to determine the function of the cortical microcircuit, a basic element of cortex architecture. By first unraveling the dynamics of specific cortical microcircuits, and next the interactions between those microcircuits, he hopes to build a better understanding of how the whole cortex works.

  • STEP Symposium: Translating Research Advances for Health Care Providers and Patients: The Knowledge-to-Action Process
    • - David Chambers, Russ Glasgow, Beverly Green, George Isham and John Santa (2011/02/11)
    • - Category : STEP
    The clinical studies are done, the data are in - but why does it take so many years to translate clinical research into practice? Proven clinical strategies may not work in the community setting or may be slowly adopted by health care professionals and recipients. How do we move evidence-based clinical knowledge more effectively into public health and clinical community settings? This forum will explore the challenges and opportunities in implementation and dissemination of clinical research outcomes.

  • Maturation of Functional GABAergic Microcircuits in the Developing Hippocampus
    • - Rosa Cossart, Ph.D., Mediterranean Institute of Neurobiology, France (2011/02/06)
    • - Category : Neuroscience
    Coordinated activation of neuronal assemblies features most physiological and pathological brain functions and carries a determinant role in proper network wiring during development. In the hippocampus and cortical formations, network function is strongly modulated by the action of GABAergic interneurons that comprise ~10-15% of the total neuronal population. These cells mediate inhibitory synaptic transmission in the adult brain and an impairment of selective subpopulations of GABAergic microcircuits most often leads to epileptogenesis. Research in Dr. Cossart???s lab is centred on the maturation of GABAergic microcircuits during brain development. They believe that understanding the major steps governing their proper wiring into cortical circuits will help to identify their functional implication in different network states including pathological disorders involving excessive synchrony between neurons. To describe cortical networks at the scale of microcircuits, they have developed a multidisciplinary research strategy that allows for a dynamic and global vision of the network but also for the single-cell level description of its key components. It combines multibeam two-photon calcium imaging of network dynamics in brain slices, targeted electrophysiological recordings, histology, and online data analysis (Cossart 2005; Goldin 2007; Cr??pel 2007 ; All??ne 2008). They are using genetically engineered mice where different GABAergic subpopulations are GFP-labeled and in particular genetic fate mapping approaches to target different functional assemblies of interneurons based on their spatial and temporal origins.

  • Fluorescent Protease Biosensors Engineered from Fluorogen Activating Proteins
    • - Peter B. Berget, Ph.D., Carnegie Mellon University (2011/02/06)
    • - Category : Proteomics
    NIH Proteomics Interest Group Seminar Series

    Recently we described a new class of fluoromodules formed upon the non-covalent binding of a fluorogenic dye to a cognate protein partner. The protein-dye interaction significantly enhances the fluorescence quantum yield of the dye. The protein partners are variable domains of IgG molecules selected from a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) yeast surface-display library. These protein partners are called Fluorogen Activating Proteins (FAPs). We were intrigued by the fact that some of the FAPs selected to enhance the fluorescence of malachite green or dimethylindole red were solo variable heavy (VH) or variable light domains (VL), not connected to their opposite domain type in a standard scFv format (VH-VL).

    In my talk I will describe how investigations into these unusually formatted FAPs led us to discover several variable domain FAP combinations that can be used as platforms for engineering site-specific protease biosensors. I will describe the designed and synthesis of biosensors for members of several different families of proteases such as matrixmetalloproteinases, caspases, RNA virus proteases and neurotoxin proteases. Because these protease biosensors are genetically encoded, several different molecular modifications can be easily made to the biosensors depending on the desired application.

    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    In this talk, Dr. Harris will discuss the approach she has developed over the last two decades of combining bench work at the University of California, Berkeley, with field work in Nicaragua to investigate the pathogenesis, immunology and epidemiology of dengue and influenza. She will describe the long-term pediatric cohort study ongoing in Managua, Nicaragua, and epidemiological insights that have been derived about dengue and influenza and possibly interactions between the two. She will also discuss her work on a dengue mouse model of antibody-dependent infection and lethal disease that allows mechanistic investigation of the role of natural and therapeutic antibodies in protection and pathogenesis, and how this interfaces with parallel studies of dengue immunology in human populations. Finally, this work underscores the importance of long-term collaborations in global health and partnerships for sustained scientific capacity building in developing countries.

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