- Machine learning methods for identifying peptides and proteins from shotgun proteomics data

- - Noble, William Stafford.
National Institutes of Health (U.S.). Proteomics Interest Group. (2010/11/18) - - Category : Proteomics
- - Noble, William Stafford.
- Shotgun proteomics coupled with database search software allows the identification of a large number of peptides or proteins from a single biological sample. In this talk, I will describe a series of computational methods that use machine learning techniques to improve our ability to map observed fragmentation spectra to peptides and proteins. These methods combine prior knowledge about peptide fragmentation and mass spectrometry with observed properties of a collection of related spectra, thereby identifying larger sets of peptides and proteins at low false discovery rates.

Center for Cancer Research (National Cancer Institute (U.S.)) (2010/11/18) - - Category : NCI CCR Grand Rounds (NIH Only)
- - Cravatt, Benjamin F.
- Dr. Cravatt received his Ph.D. in macromolecular and cellular structure and chemistry from The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI). He became assistant professor at The Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology and in the department of cell biology at TSRI. He continued to move through the ranks at TSRI as an assistant professor in the department of chemistry and later as an associate professor and then professor in the departments of cell biology and chemistry. In addition to being a professor and chair in the department of chemical physiology at TSRI, Dr. Cravatt is also the director of the Helen L.
Dorris Child and Adolescent Neuro-Psychiatric Disorder Institute. Dr. Cravatt???s research group aims to understand the roles that mammalian enzymes play in physiological and pathological processes and to use this knowledge to identify novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of human disease. To achieve these goals, his group develops and applies new technologies that bridge the fields of chemistry and biology, ascribing to the philosophy that the most significant biomedical problems require creative multidisciplinary approaches for their solution.
NCI???s Center for Cancer Research (CCR) Grand Rounds is a weekly lecture series addressing current research in clinical and molecular oncology. Speakers are leading national and international researchers and clinicians proposed by members of the CCR Grand Rounds Planning Committee and others within the CCR community and approved by the CCR Office of the Director. Lectures occur every Tuesday from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. in Lipsett Amphitheater in the Clinical Center building on the NIH campus September through July with exceptions around holidays and major cancer meetings. The lecture schedule is posted on various calendars of events, including at the following link:

- - Category : Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee
- The Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC) coordinates all efforts within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) concerning autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Through its inclusion of both Federal and public members, the IACC helps to ensure that a wide range of ideas and perspectives are represented and discussed in a public forum.
The IACC mission is to:- Facilitate the efficient and effective exchange of information on ASD activities among the member agencies
- Coordinate ASD-related activities
- Increase public understanding of the member agencies activities, programs, policies, and research by providing a public forum for discussions related to ASD research, screening, education, and interventions
IACC meetings are open to the public and include presentations and discussions about member activities and projects of the IACC. The meetings also include scientific presentations from investigators in the field of ASD research. A portion of each meeting is reserved for public comment. A summary of each meeting is posted on the meetings & events page of the IACC website.

- Scientific Management Review Board Meeting
-
- - National Institutes of Health (U.S.). Scientific Management Review Board. (2010/11/18)
- - 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.

- - Passingham, R E.
- Dr. Passinghams main research interests are in the brain mechanisms that underlie consciousness and the brain mechanisms for the attentional control of cognitive performance. The studies use a combination of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure brain activity in human subjects and transcranial brain stimulation (TMS) to disrupt it. A recent study has shown that one can read brain images so as to tell what the subjects are intending to do, in the specific case whether they are intending to add or subtract numbers before they are presented.
