    The NIH Roadmap National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBC) Lecture Series Presents: ???Computerizing the Human Studyome Using Tools from the National Center for Biomedical Ontology???

    The human studyome is the totality of all human studies worldwide, encompassing all interventional, observational and qualitative research on human subjects. The human studyome is one of the most valuable sources of knowledge for advancing the understanding of diseases and treatments. To support efficient and effective use of human studies data, the human studyome needs to be computerized for large-scale discovery, reanalysis, and reuse.

    Dr. Sim is a leader in the representation of human studies for scientific computation. In this talk, she will discuss her Driving Biological Project with the National Center for Biomedical Ontology, one of the seven NCBC Centers funded under the NIH Roadmap Initiatives, to use ontologies to visualize design heterogeneity in randomized trials. She will also discuss some observations on the benefits and challenges of applying ontologies and ontology tools to computerizing the human studyome and to clinical research in general.

    Dr. Sim is an Associate Professor of Medicine and Director, Center for Clinical and Translational Informatics at the University of California, San Francisco. She received her MD and her PhD in Medical Informatics from Stanford University, and her Primary Care Internal Medicine training from the Massachussetts General Hospital. She is also fellowship-trained in General Internal Medicine at Stanford University. Her research focus is on knowledge-based technologies for clinical research and evidence-based practice. She received the United States Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) in 2000 for her work on The Trial Bank Project, which developed fundamental informatics technologies for a computable knowledge base of randomized trials. She has since led multiple projects related to semantic standards and visualization methods for clinical research, clinical trial reporting bias, new models of scientific e-publication of clinical research, and work on the adoption of electronic health records in primary care practices for quality improvement. In policy work, Dr. Sim was the founding Project Coordinator of the World Health Organization???s International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, which sets global standards on clinical trial registration and reporting. Dr. Sim serves on the editorial board of the Journal of Biomedical Informatics, is on the Advisory Board for PLoS One, and is a Fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics.

  • T cell clonotypic correlates of virus control in SIV infection
    • - Douek, Daniel.
      National Institutes of Health (U.S.). Immunology Interest Group. (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Immunology
    Dr. Douek is a recognized leader in the field of human immunology. His laboratory, the Human Immunology Section, studies the processes that determine the course of human diseases in which the immune system, particularly its T cell arm, plays a central role in their pathogenesis and outcome. He aims to use the knowledge gained to initiate clinical studies of new therapeutic and vaccine approaches. His overriding philosophy is to address questions directly in humans and non-human primates, with an emphasis on the derivation of the basic mechanisms that underlie disease processes. Currently, the main focus of the lab is the pathogenesis of HIV infection. By studying interactions of HIV-specific T cells in HIV disease and after vaccination against HIV, Dr. Doueks aim is to establish correlates of effective and protective immunity, which in turn will open lines of further inquiry for researchers in developing strategies using T-cell immunity to fight HIV infection. By studying the mechanisms underlying HIV pathogenesis and immune reconstitution after therapy, his goal is to understand how HIV causes disease and how recovery from HIV disease can be enhanced. Together, these approaches address both prevention and treatment of HIV disease in humans. In 2007 Dr. Douek was given the World AIDS Day Award.

  • HSF and the Balancing Act between Neurodegeneration and Cancer
    • - Dr. Susan Lindquist, Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    Susan Lindquist, professor of Biology at MIT, member of the Whitehead Institute and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, is a pioneer in the study of protein folding. After receiving her B.A. in Microbiology from the University of Illinois in 1971, Lindquist completed her Ph.D. in Biology at Harvard University. In 1978 she finished her postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago. Lindquist???s contributions to the field include showing that changes in protein folding can have profound and unexpected influences in fields as wide-ranging as human disease, evolution and nanotechnology. In fact, through Lindquist???s research, protein misfolding has been implicated as a major mechanism in many severe neurological disorders, including Parkinson???s and Huntington???s diseases.

    Lindquist and her colleagues have developed yeast strains that serve as living test tubes to study these disorders, unraveling how protein folding contributes to them. They have succeeded in reproducing many of the biological consequences of Parkinson???s disease in yeast cells and are screening for drugs to prevent and treat the disease.

    Lindquist???s bench work has lead to publishing more than 150 scholarly articles, editing two books, writing more than 50 reviews, and having more than 20 current and pending patents.

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

    • - Category : Neuroscience
    Dr. Balice-Gordon research interest is focused on the role of activity in the control of synaptic plasticity during neural development. Using neuromuscular and CNS synapses in mice and zebrafish as model systems she has analyzed cell-cell signaling mechanisms that control synapse formation and maintenance. Her work with Jeff Lichtman using in-vivo imaging to show that inactive synapses are eliminated is now in neuroscience text-books. Her current work continues to focus on the neuronal and glial interactions that control synapse formation. These studies are important to our understanding of circuit formation and neural re-innervation after injury.

  • Using Communication Research to Design Effective Messages for Public Health: The cases of HPV vaccine and anti-smoking PSAs
    • - Cappella, Joseph N.
      National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : BSSR Lecture Series
    The success of public health campaigns depends in part on how the information central to the campaign is communicated and the psychological and social resistance to that information that exists in the targeted audience. The crafting of successful messages in public communication campaigns is certainly an art but one that must be constrained by scientific knowledge about audiences and their susceptibility and resistance to message formats and content. Research on two cases will be presented: public anti-smoking efforts and the introduction of the HPV vaccine.

    Joseph N. Cappella (Ph.D., 1974, Michigan State University) is Professor of Communication and holds the Gerald R. Miller Chair at the Annenberg School for Communication at The University of Pennsylvania. He has been a visiting professor at the University of Pennsylvania and Northwestern University and a visiting scholar at Stanford. His research has resulted in more than 100 articles and book chapters and three co-authored books in areas of health and political communication, social interaction, nonverbal behavior, media effects, and statistical methods. The articles have appeared in journals in psychology, communication, health, and politics. His research has been supported by grants from NIMH, NIDA, NSF, NCI, NHGRI, The Twentieth Century Fund, and from the Markle, Ford, Carnegie, Pew, and Robert Wood Johnson foundations. He has served on the editorial boards of 15 different journals. He is a Fellow of the International Communication Association and its past president, a distinguished scholar of the National Communication Association, and recipient of the B. Aubrey Fisher Mentorship Award.

    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.
