    This seminar will cover aspects of protein:protein, protein: carbohydrate and oligosaccharide isomer structure elucidation. With the advent of commercial ion mobility-TOF mass spectrometers, it is now possible to more easily separate and analyze stereoisomers such as iduronic and glucuronic acid. Binding specificities between carbohydrates for a particular conformation of a protein can also be observed. Similarly, one can measure collisional cross sections (CCS) of protein subunits as they are gently dissociated from large protein complexes such as the eukaryotic initiation factors and compare those values with CCS from the recombinant form of the protein.

    • - Krauzlis, Richard.
      National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Neuroscience
    Dr. Krauzlis is an Associate Professor in the Systems Neurobiology Laboratory at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. Work in his laboratory is aimed at understanding the brain mechanisms that link motor control to sensory and cognitive processing, using a variety of state-of-the-art techniques to manipulate and monitor neural activity. His research provides a new perspective on the processing steps responsible for gating and executing voluntary eye movements. His talk will center on the role of the superior colliculus, which he argues may not be directly involved in higher-order functions such as perception and cognition, but is important for applying those and other sources of information to the process of deciding where to look next.

    PRESIDENT HONORS NATION’S TOP SCIENTISTS AND INNOVATORS

    President Obama today named nine eminent researchers as recipients of the National Medal of Science, and four inventors and one company as recipients of the National Medal of Technology and Innovation, the highest honors bestowed by the United States government on scientists, engineers, and inventors. The recipients will receive their awards on October 7 at a White House ceremony.

    The National Medal of Science was created by statute in 1959 and is administered for the White House by the National Science Foundation. Awarded annually, the Medal recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to science and engineering. Nominees are selected by a committee of Presidential appointees based on their advanced knowledge in, and contributions to, the biological, behavioral/social, and physical sciences, as well as chemistry, engineering, computing, and mathematics.

    The National Medal of Technology and Innovation has its roots in a 1980 statute and is administered for the White House by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The award recognizes individuals or companies for their outstanding contributions to the promotion of technology for the improvement of the economic, environmental, or social well-being of the United States. Nominees are selected by a distinguished independent committee representing both the private and public sectors.

    "These scientists, engineers and inventors are national icons, embodying the very best of American ingenuity and inspiring a new generation of thinkers and innovators," President Obama said. "Their extraordinary achievements strengthen our nation every day—not just intellectually and technologically but also economically, by helping create new industries and opportunities that others before them could never have imagined."

    This year’s recipients are:

    National Medal of Science
    Dr. Berni Alder, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, CA
    Dr. Francis Collins, National Institutes of Health, MD
    Dr. Joanna Fowler, Brookhaven National Laboratory, NY

    2009 Kinyoun Lecture

    Based at Columbia University in New York, Lipkin is the John Snow Professor of Epidemiology and the Director of the Center for Infection and Immunity at the Mailman School of Public Health. The Center is a hub of collaborative, international research dedicated to the discovery, surveillance, and study of new pathogens that emerge across the globe. Lipkin and his team of investigators continue to pioneer cutting- edge tools and techniques to accelerate the discovery of new pathogens and enable rapid, regional responses to outbreaks.

    In 1989, Lipkin identified the Borna virus using purely molecular tools, thus pioneering the practice of using molecular methods for pathogen discovery and surveillance. In 1999, he led the team that identified West Nile virus as the cause of an encephalitis outbreak in New York State. In 2003, Lipkin developed a rapid diagnostic test for SARS. At the height of the outbreak, he hand-carried 10,000 test kits to Beijing to identify and thereby help contain infections, at the request of the Chinese government.

    During ???Microbe Hunting in the 21st Century,??? Lipkin will discuss state-of-the-art diagnostic and surveillance techniques that he and his colleagues use to rapidly assess and respond to new pathogenic microbes so that disease outbreaks may be mitigated and potentially averted. He will shed light on new methods of studying microbial pathogenesis and routes to proving causation, as well as how this methodology can be applied to investigate clinical problems.

    • - Category : Scientific Management Review Board
    The Scientific Management Review Board was authorized by the NIH Reform Act of 2006 and signed into law by the President in January 2007. The NIH Reform Act provides certain organizational authorities to HHS and NIH officials regarding NIH institutes and centers and the Office of the Director. The purpose of the Scientific Management Review Board is to advise HHS and NIH officials on the use of those organizational authorities.

    This Working Group of the SMRB is convened to recommend to the full Board whether organizational change within NIH could further optimize research into substance use, abuse, and addiction and maximize human health and/or patient well being. In addressing this issue, the SUAA Working Group will consider the scientific opportunities, public health needs, and research technologies in substance use, abuse, and addiction, in addition to research in these areas under the existing NIH structure.
