    • - National Institutes of Health (U.S.). Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee. (2010/11/18)
    • - 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.

    Third Annual Matilda White Riley Lecture in Behavioral and Social Sciences

    This lecture is the third installment of the annual Matilda White Riley Lecture in Behavioral and Social Sciences sponsored by the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research and organized by the NIH Behavioral and Social Sciences Research Coordinating Committee.

    The lecture, ???Looking for Causes in All the Wrong Places: Upstream Social Determinants of Downstream Health Disparities???, will be presented by Dr. John B. McKinlay of the New England Research Institute. Detailed abstract and speaker information will be provided as the event draws nearer. The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) is pleased to sponsor the annual lecture in the behavioral and social sciences named in honor of Matilda White Riley (1911-2004). In addition to serving as the Associate Director for Behavioral and Social Research at the National Institute on Aging, Dr. Riley provided leadership across the NIH in her role as chairperson of landmark committees regarding health and behavior. She was co-chair of the joint ADAMHA and NIH Steering Committee for the Institute of Medicines Project on Health and Behavior (1979-1982) and chair of the trans-NIH Working Group on Health and Behavior (1982-1991). In these capacities she served as the senior NIH spokesperson on the behavioral and social sciences, encouraged coordination among NIH Institutes, oversaw the production of numerous reports to the Congress on behavioral research at the NIH, provided advice to several NIH Directors, and initiated the behavioral and social sciences seminar series at the NIH. In effect, she laid the groundwork for and was the precursor to OBSSR.

    The annual award honors an individual whose research has contributed to behavioral and social scientific knowledge and/or the application of such knowledge relevant to the mission of the National Institutes of Health. The recipients research reflects Matilda Rileys commitment to research.

    • - Coussens, Lisa M.
      National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : NCI CCR Grand Rounds (NIH Only)
    Dr. Coussens received her B.A. in Biology at San Francisco State University. She then worked as a research associate in molecular and developmental biology at Genentech, Inc., in S. San Francisco for 7 years before pursuing her Ph.D. in biological chemistry from the University of California, Los Angeles, followed by postdoctoral studies in cancer biology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Dr. Coussens joined the Cancer Research Institute and Dept. of Pathology at UCSF where she is currently a professor. The Coussens lab focuses on the role of immune cells and leukocyte proteases as critical regulators of skin, lung, and breast cancer development where they are investigating mechanisms involved in the: i. induction and maintenance of chronic inflammatory microenvironments in premalignant tissues, ii. role of leukocyte proteases as regulators of tissue remodeling, angiogenesis and cancer development, and iii. development of novel non-invasive imaging reagents to monitor inflammation in tissues. The lab???s studies are designed to test the hypothesis that inflammation is a critical parameter of neoplastic development and therefore represents an efficacious target for anti-cancer therapy. Dr. Coussens has served on editorial boards for peer-reviewed journals and is currently the deputy editor for Cancer Research.
    Her laboratory has published numerous articles, abstracts, and book chapters and she routinely speaks at national and international conferences.

    The primary educational objective of these seminars is to provide new information, ideas, and discussion about timely areas of research with impact on the field of oncology. A secondary educational objective is to elicit participation by individuals from all divisions of the intramural NCI, and thus facilitate more interactions among investigators and groups in the NCI.

    • - Category : Evolution and Medicine
    Evolutionary biologys central task is to provide historical explanations for the diversity of living forms. At the molecular level, the question is how genes, and the proteins they code for, acquired their functions. By combining evolutionary and phylogenetic analysis with molecular and structural biology, Dr. Thornton has shown, atom by atom, how a biomedically crucial family of proteins -- the steroid hormone receptors -- changed over hundreds of millions of years to acquire their present-day functions.

  • Immune Regulation in the Intestine
    • - Powrie, Fiona.
      National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    The gastrointestinal tract in humans is colonised by a large number and diverse array of commensal bacteria many of which are beneficial to the host. Most of reside peacefully with our gut residents however a breakdown in intestinal homeostasis can result in inflammatory diseases of the intestine including inflammatory bowel disease, celiacs disease and allergy.

    In this talk I will review recent work from my own laboratory and others that indicate the intestinal homeostasis is a delicate balance between pro-inflammatory effector responses and immune suppressive regulatory T cells.

    Analysis of cytokines that drive intestinal inflammation identified IL23 as a master regulator that orchestrates intestinal inflammation via effects on innate cells and T cells. Recent genome wide-association studies have identified polymorphisms in the IL23R as linked to susceptibility to IBD validating IL23 mediated pathways as potential therapeutic targets in IBD.

    BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Fiona Powrie started her career as a D.Phil student with Don Mason in Oxford before finishing her training as postdoctoral fellow with Dr. R. Coffman at the DNAX research Institute in Palo Alto, California. In 1996 she returned to the UK to establish her own laboratory as a Wellcome Trust Senior Fellow. She is now Professor of Immunology at the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology , Oxford University.

    Fiona Powrie???s early work identified functionally distinct subsets of CD4+ T cells that could suppress immune responses and whose absence led to inflammatory disease. In the last decade she has focused on immune regulation in the intestine. Her work has identified the functional role of regulatory T cells in intestinal homeostasis and shed light on their development and mechanism of action. She has also shown that both adaptive and innate immune mechanisms contribute to intestinal inflammation and identified the cytokine IL23 as a pivotal player in the pathogenesis of chronic intestinal inflammation.

  • Scientific Writing from the Readers Perspective (Day 1) (HHS-Only)
    • - George Gopen, JD, PhD (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : HHS Only
    The approach used by Gopen is based on a single idea: to improve your writing, learn how readers go about their reading. Readers know where to look for what. Learning what readers do allows a writer to control what readers learn. Dr. Gopens workshops have changed participants writing habits permanently, often resulting in improved grant writing success.

    Here is what Dr. Gopen has to say about his presentations:

    In the working world, the writer is usually the expert (however momentarily), writing for an audience that has a need to know something. We call that rhetorical act communication. No one cares how hard the writer tried or how much progress has been made since the last effort. In the professional world, the important person, where prose is concerned, is not the writer, but rather the reader. The bottom line question where writing quality is concerned is simple: Did the reader actually get delivery of that which the writer intended to send? If the answer is yes, the writing was adequate; if the answer is no, the writing was inadequate.

    The OITE is pleased to offer this workshop to the entire NIH community. While the workshop is geared toward NIH trainees, it is open to and appropriate for anyone in the NIH community who has an interest in writing effectively.

    Here is what other participants have said about Dr. Gopen???s workshop:

    ???Dr. Gopen was fantastic. Excellent session on writing for scientists. This will help me in writing my next paper and grant.???

    ???Excellent! Very informative and interesting lecturer.???

    ???Dr. Gopen???s presentation was exciting, energetic, and informative.???

    Due to the length of this communications event, Dr. Gopens workshop will be shared with trainees in other locations over a live video link, if interest warrants. Trainees will be expected to gather at a single location to view the event. We appreciate that this will require our colleagues in the West to get up extra early; thank you for your understanding.
