  • Sex, Drugs and Viral Load: Integrating HIV/AIDS Prevention and Treatment
    • - Kalichman, Seth C.
      National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : BSSR Lecture Series
    Effective treatments for HIV infection demand high levels of adherence; people infected with HIV are expected to adhere to safer sex and drug use practices throughout their lives. Treatment non-adherence overlaps with continued unsafe sexual practices for some people living with HIV/AIDS. The co-occurrence of non-adherence and HIV transmission risk behavior poses particular risk for the spread of drug resistant variants of HIV. There are common correlates of both non-adherence and risk behavior, particularly substance use and depression. In addition, successful HIV treatment may reduce perceptions of HIV infectiousness, leading to increased risk behaviors and paradoxically greater infectiousness when patients are co-infected with other sexually transmitted infections. Interventions designed to address treatment non-adherence and those designed to reduce risk behavior also share common elements, particularly self-efficacy enhancement and behavioral skills training. The common correlates and shared intervention elements suggest that integrated intervention approaches that simultaneously address HIV treatment adherence and risk reduction may be feasible.

    Seth C. Kalichman received his Ph.D. in Clinical-Community Psychology from the University of South Carolina in 1990. He is a Professor in the Psychology Department at the University of Connecticut and Director of the Southeast HIV/AIDS Research & Evaluation (SHARE) Project. His research focuses on social and behavioral aspects of AIDS, particularly sexual risk behavior intervention research in the US and South Africa and is supported by the NIMH and NIAAA. He was the recipient of the Distinguished Scientific Award for Early Career Contribution to Psychology in Health awarded by the American Psychological Association and Distinguished Scientist Award from the Society for Behavioral Medicine. He is the Editor of the journal AIDS and Behavior and the author of Denying AIDS: Conspiracy Theories, Pseudoscience, and Human Tragedy published by Springer/Copernicus Books with all royalties from the sale of Denying AIDS donated to purchase HIV treatments in Africa.

    This lecture is an installment of the Behavioral and Social Sciences Research Lecture Series sponsored by the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research and organized by the NIH Behavioral and Social Sciences Research Coordinating Committee.

    The Behavioral and Social Sciences Research Coordinating Committee (BSSR CC), with support from the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR), convenes a series of guest lectures and symposia on selected topics in the behavioral and social sciences. These presentations by prominent behavioral and social scientists provide the NIH community with overviews of current research on topics of scientific and social interest. The lectures and symposia are approximately 50 minutes in length, with additional time for questions and discussion. All seminars are open to NIH staff and to the general public.

  • Human Genome Analysis, Disease Pathophysiology and Genetic Medicine
    • - Chakravarti, Aravinda.
      National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    The Human Genome Project has been instrumental in creating reference datasets, of DNA sequence, genetic variation, expression and rudimentary function, that have begun to provide an unprecedented view of genome structure and function. Increasingly, however, datasets of the same magnitude and breadth are being assembled from individuals with specific disease phenotypes and medically relevant intermediate traits. These studies are not only providing important clues to the underlying disease susceptibility genes but also how alterations in genome structure may affect genome function.

    Numerous studies are not only providing specific hypotheses regarding disease pathophysiology that need to be tested but is raising the specter of individualized risk assessment. The success of the first area is assured even though progress in the second area may require considerably more development to enable a personalized genetic medicine.

    Dr. Chakravarti is the Director of Center for Complex Disease Genomics and Professor of Medicine, Pediatrics, Molecular Biology & Genetics, and, Biostatistics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Bloomberg School of Public Health. He is the 2008 President of the American Society of Human Genetics, a member of the US National Academy???s Institute of Medicine and an Honorary Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences. He has been a key participant and architect of the Human Genome, HapMap and 1000 Genomes project.

    He received his doctoral degree in human genetics from the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston in 1979 and continued postdoctoral training at the University of Washington in Seattle during 1979-80. He started his faculty career at the University of Pittsburgh (1980 ??? 1993), was the James H. Jewell Professor of Genetics at Case Western Reserve University (1994-2000), and the inaugural Director and Henry J. Knott Professor of the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine at Johns Hopkins (2000-2007). Dr. Chakravarti is one of the founding Editors-in-Chief of Genome Research, and serves on the Advisory and Editorial Boards of numerous national and international journals, boards, academic societies, the NIH and biotechnology companies. His research is aimed at genomic-scale analysis of the human genome and computational analysis of gene variation and function to understand the molecular genetic basis of human disease.

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

    Beyond Dissemination and Implementation Research: Integrating Evidence and Action

    The Centre for Behavioural Research and Program Evaluation (CBRPE), funded by the Canadian Cancer Society, is building a Canadian enterprise that helps prevent disease at a population level by better integrating evidence and action.

    The real world, not the literature, is our primary reference point. Our premise is that the major (social/behavioural) experiments in disease prevention will not be done by researchers, but by social actors (e.g., leaders in policy, program, advocacy, and social mobilization). They have policy levers, resources, and influence required to effect novel, sustainable population level interventions.

    These social actors shaped our plans. They indicated CBRPE could add most value by helping to accelerate the generation and use of evidence in developing and implementing effective population health interventions. They recommended ???specializing in evaluation science to generate contextually sensitive practice-based evidence and related research methods (given the dearth and critical importance of such evidence).???

    We are building capacity to study ???natural experiments??? as innovative policies and programs are implemented. The goal is to learn as we go what works, for whom, in what context, at what cost, thus enabling ongoing learning and improvement. This necessitates building a) teams spanning research and policy/program sectors, to jointly plan, do and act on, pertinent studies, and b) data systems that enable integration of research, evaluation, policy and practice. Despite challenges, momentum is building. Progress would be facilitated by systemic change in research funding and academic reward structures to enable learning from innovation.

    • - Movshon, J Anthony. (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Neuroscience
    Prof. Movshon studies how the brain encodes and decodes visual information, and the mechanisms that put that information to use in the control of behavior. He studies the function and development of the primate visual system (especially the cortex), combining neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and psychophysics. His recent studies have concentrated on (1) understanding the mechanisms that generate signals about the direction of visual motion, and how these signals are used to support psychophysical decisions. (2) Analysis of the functional development of the cortical visual system in monkeys, and the way that development is affected by forms of abnormal early visual experience that produce amblyopia.
