  • Core Curriculum Part 1: Funding Mechanisms (HHS Only)
    • - Chuck Selden (2011/02/02)
    • - Category : Core Curriculum (HHS Only)
    Extramural research activities may be supported by any one of three main mechanisms: grants, contracts and cooperative agreements. A mechanism is a particular type of funding transaction used at the NIH. In general, with grants, investigators are responsible for developing the concepts, methods, and approach for a research project. With contracts, the DHHS awarding unit is responsible for establishing the detailed requirements. With cooperative agreements, both the awarding unit and the recipient have substantial responsibility. The objective for this training is for the trainee to understand the major classes of funding mechanisms and learn a set of skills for answering the question: ???Which funding mechanism(s) do I use to facilitate support of this research need????

  • Using C. elegans to Deconstruct Touch and Pain Sensation
    • - Miriam Goodman, Ph.D., Stanford University (2011/01/28)
    • - Category : Neuroscience
    The ability to detect touch is conserved from echinoderms to humans. It relies on specialized mechanoreceptor neurons that vary in their sensitivity and association with accessory structures. Despite its importance and conservation across taxa, very little is known about how touch works. Dr. Goodmans lab seeks to improve understanding by studying the nematode C. elegans, a simple animal that has only 30 mechanoreceptor neurons. Their work focuses on two classes of mechanoreceptor neurons: the 6 non-ciliated touch receptor neurons (TRNs) that detect touch applied to the body wall and the paired ciliated ASH neurons that detect noxious mechanical stimuli applied to the nose. Genetic analysis has revealed ion channel genes needed for TRN and ASH function. To learn the precise cellular function of such channel proteins and to investigate their gating mechanisms, they combine genetic dissection with in vivo electrophysiology and biomechanical analysis. The picture emerging from their recent work is that touch activates similar ion channels in the nonciliated TRNs and the ciliated ASH neurons, which differ by 100-fold in their sensitivity to external force. Challenges for the future include understanding the basis for differences in sensitivity and the biophysics of mechanotransduction channel gating.

  • Quantitative Proteomics and Metaprotein Expression Modeling: Discovery and Verification of Expression Model for Predicting Differential Treatment Response of HCV Patients
    • - Arthur Moseley, Duke University (2011/01/28)
    • - Category : Proteomics
    NIH Proteomics Interest Group Seminar Series

    Arthur Moseley is the Director of Proteomics for the School of Medicine at Duke University. In this position he is responsible for the development and application of proteomic technologies for open (unbiased) qualitative and quantitative UPLC/MS/MS analyses using high resolution, accurate mass tandem mass spectrometers coupled with ultra-performance nanoscale capillary liquid chromatographs, and for targeted protein quantitation using UPLC/MS/MS with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). The Proteomics Core Facility has the capability for support a diverse range of research projects, from studies in Basic Sciences Departments through support of clinical trials for Clinical Sciences Departments. The clinical support has included biomarker discovery in studies in the areas of oncology, immunology, and infectious disease. Prior to his position at Duke University, he managed mass spectrometry laboratories at GSK for sixteen years, and for the last six years of these years he lead a transnational laboratory (US/UK) dedicated to proteomic biomarker discovery. Dr. Moseley received his MS in Physical Chemistry from North Carolina State University, and his PhD in Analytical Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His dissertation, under the direction of Professor Jim Jorgenson, addressed the coupling of nanoscale separation with tandem mass spectrometry for the analysis of peptides and proteins.

  • Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RAC) December 2010 - Day 1
    • - NIH (2011/01/25)
    • - Category : Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee
    The RAC is a technical committee whose goal is to consider the current state of knowledge and technology regarding recombinant DNA. This includes review of human gene transfer trials, and an assessment of the ability of DNA recombinants to survive in nature and the potential for transfer of genetic material to other organisms. It also considers hypothetical hazards and methods for monitoring and minimizing risks. Approximately one-third of the 15 members do not have scientific expertise but represent public interests and attitudes. This balance is intended to provide a forum for open public debate of social and scientific issues attendant to recombinant DNA research. The RAC has been overwhelmingly successful in achieving this goal.

  • Ins and outs of the lysosomal chloride conductance: biophysics to biology for an organellar anion transporter
    • - Joseph Mindell, M.D., Ph.D. (2011/01/25)
    • - Category : NIH Directors Seminars
    Directors Seminar Series

    Dr. Mindell received his B.S. degree in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from Yale University in 1986. In 1994 he received his M.D. and Ph.D. degrees from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where he worked with Alan Finkelstein studying the structure and function of ion channels formed by diphtheria toxin. After a residency in internal medicine at Brigham and Womens Hospital, Dr. Mindell did post-doctoral work with Chris Miller at Brandeis University; there he focused on structural and functional characterization of ClC-type chloride channels using cryoelectron microscopy and other approaches. Dr. Mindell joined NINDS as an investigator in 2002. His laboratory is using a combination of structural and functional approaches to answer mechanistic questions regarding ClC channels and other anion transport proteins.

    The Membrane Transport Biophysics Unit focuses on understanding the physical principles governing membrane-protein function. Our major model proteins are members of the ClC family of anion-transport proteins. Use a combination of biochemical and physiological approaches, we seek to understand the protein elements mediating chloride selectivity as well as those involved in regulating the passage of ions across the membrane. Recent developments, including the determination of a high-resolution structure of a bacterial ClC, have allowed us to focus our attention on particular regions of these proteins, which we explore with combinations of biochemistry, genetic mutation, and electrical recordings.

  • Human Genetics in the Next Generation: Rare Variants and Common Cures
    • - David Goldstein, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Human Genome Variation at Duke University (2011/01/25)
    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    Genome wide association studies have proven successful in identifying regions of the genome that contain gene variants that influence both common diseases and drug responses. In most instances however it has not been possible to track these associations down to the causal variants that are responsible, and this greatly reduces the utility of these findings in drug development and disease prediction.

    Sequencing based strategies on the other hand offer the promise of identifying the precise mutations and the genes they influence that are responsible both for predisposition to common disease and drug responses. I outline how sequencing the entire genomes of patients is likely to change our understanding of human disease genetics over the next several years. I first contrast human traits that are and are not strongly influenced by common variants. I next review the role of rare copy number variants in schizophrenia and epilepsy and outline a framework for discovery of other kinds of rare high penetrant risk factors focusing on whole genome sequencing and evaluation of candidate variants through a combination of a) testing for cosegregation in multiplex families, b) bioinformatic analyses, and c) frequency comparison in large case control cohorts. Finally, I discuss what I see as the near term opportunities for discovery genetics for both disease predisposition and drug response. The over riding message is of cautious optimism. Although the translational impact of genomic analysis of common diseases and drug responses has been modest to date, there are good reasons to believe that the tools are in place for a more rapid translation of genomic discoveries.

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