    In addition, Dr. Gawande has had a parallel career in writing and policy. He served as a senior health policy advisor in the Clinton presidential campaign and White House from 1992 to 1993. Since 1998, he has also been a staff writer for the New Yorker magazine. In 2006, Dr. Gawande became director of the World Health Organizations global campaign to reduce surgical deaths and received a MacArthur Award for his writing and public health work. His book Complications: A Surgeons Notes on an Imperfect Science was a finalist for the National Book Award in 2002 and is published in more than twenty languages. His most recent book, Better: A Surgeons Notes on Performance was a New York Times bestseller and selected as one of the ten best books of 2007 by Amazon.com.

  • Darwin at 200: Evolution, Genomics, Medicine
    • - National Human Genome Research Institute (U.S.) (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Special
    February 12, 2009, marks the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin (1809-1882) and the 150th year since publication of his seminal work, On the Origin of Species. The renowned 19th century naturalist made observations on plant and animal life that set science on a new course, introducing evolution as the unifying concept in all of genetics and biology. Students of U.S. history will note that the date is also the 200th birthday of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.

    The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) will celebrate Darwins life and accomplishments by sponsoring a symposium entitled Darwin at 200: Evolution, Genomics, Medicine. The symposium will feature speakers from NIH and across the country whose work connects our understanding of evolution to advances in genomics and medicine.

  • Systems Approaches to Understanding Circadian Transcriptional Networks
    • - Kay, Steve A.
      National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    Our laboratory is undertaking systems level approaches to understanding circadian clock function in plants. The long-term goal is to understand the circuitry required to generate robust, physiologically relevant rhythms, as well as using a comparative approach to understand the evolution of circadian clocks and the underlying design principles. We combine forward genetics with cell-based assays and whole-genome transcriptome approaches in an attempt to understand the network of circuits that are required for the core clock, and how the clock exerts its outputs upon the cell. These outputs include the rhythmic control of a substantial proportion of the transcriptome, and thus understanding the hierarchy of factors that must be required to achieve phase-specific expression of large numbers of genes is also of interest to us. We are beginning to discover that circadian clocks of plants are composed not of a single autoregulatory loop or limit cycle, but rather of multiple positive and negative interlocking feedback loops. We propose that this complex network architecture provides robustness (i.e. resistance to stochastic perturbation), multiple opportunities for output control and several pathways for controlling inputs or environmental entrainment of the oscillator(s).

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

  • Activation of Wnt Signaling with Inhibitors of GSK-3beta Promotes the Generation of CD8+ Memory Stem Cells
    • - Luca Gattinoni (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Clinical Center Grand Rounds
    Luca Gattinonis area of expertise is on the adoptive immunotherapy of cancer. Dr. Gattinoni received his medical training at the University of Milan School of Medicine and Surgery and went on to study Medical Oncology at the National Cancer Institute of Italy (Istituto Nazionale Tumori) in Milan, Italy. Dr. Gattinoni came to the Clinical Research Center of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda as a visiting fellow in 2003 in Nick Restifos laboratory and was advanced to the position of Staff Scientist in 2008. He has done seminal work on the mechanisms of how immune ablation augments the homeostatic expansion and function of adoptively transferred T cells. His most recent work describes the phenotypic and functional changes that occur during post-thymic maturation of CD8+ T cells. He will describe exciting new unpublished evidence on the impact of WNT signaling on a T cell subset with stem-like characteristics. His findings have major implications for the development of new immunotherapies based on the adoptive transfer of T cells.

  • Finders, Keepers: Recruitment and Retention of Research Participants in NIH-Supported Clinical Trials (HHS Only)
    • - Dickersin, Kay.
      NIH STEP Forum. (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : STEP (HHS Only)
    Clinical trials investigators have difficulties recruiting and retaining volunteers. Insufficient numbers, lack of diversity, and attrition pose threats to the progress and success of these studies. What motivates individuals to participate in clinical trials? What are the strategies for long term retention? What are roles for Scientific Review Officers, Program Officials, Grants Management Specialists, and Data and Safety Monitoring Board members related to study design and progress? This forum will explore challenges to the identification, enrollment, and retention of research participants in clinical trials; and discuss successful techniques for recruitment and retention of study participants.
