  • Lunch and Learn Parenting Seminar: Its a Noisy Planet. Protect Their Hearing
    • - Robert Miranda-Acevedo, Public Liaison, NIH/NIDCD (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Parenting
    Children are frequently exposed to noise levels that could permanently damage their hearing. Noise levels generated by activities as common as doing yard work, playing a band instrument, and attending sport events can result in noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). The Noisy Planet campaign is designed to increase awareness among parents of children ages 8 to 12 years (tweens) about the causes and prevention of NIHL. With this information, parents and other adults can encourage children to adopt healthy habits that will help them protect their hearing for life.

  • Ancient RNA Relics and Modern Drug Discovery
    • - Dr. Ronald Breaker, Yale University (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    Cells control the expression of thousands of genes in response to many chemical and physical signals. Until recently, it was believed that proteins were the near-exclusive mediators of genetic control processes involving metabolite sensing. We have discovered numerous examples of ???riboswitches??? that act as chemical sensors and as genetic switches. Most riboswitches have been discovered in bacteria, where they control approximately 3% of the genes in some species.

    In many instances, riboswitches control the expression of genes encoding key metabolic enzymes. Therefore, compounds that misregulate riboswitch-controlled genes should be candidates for new antibacterial agents. Indeed, recent findings indicate that some riboswitch classes are novel drug targets. Prospects for the development of drugs that trigger riboswitch function will be discussed.

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

  • Exploring Systems Medicine Using Translational Bioinformatics
    • - Dr. Atul BUtte (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Immunology
    Dr. Atul Butte is a faculty member at Stanford University who specializes in solving problems relevant to genomic medicine by developing new methodologies in translational bioinformatics. He has developed bioinformatics methods to take genomic, genetic, phenotypic, and RNAi data from multiple sources and phenotypes and reason over these data. To facilitate this, the lab has developed tools to automatically index and find genomic data sets based on the phenotypic and contextual details of each experiment and to assist in re-mapping microarray data. Dr. Butte uses these tools to convert the billions of points of molecular, clinical, and epidemiological data measured by biomedical investigators and clinicians over the past decade into insights with diagnostic and therapeutic potential. In his talk, Dr. Butte will highlight how using publicly-available molecular data enables the discovery of new gene variants and biomarkers for diseases like diabetes, suggests novel roles for drugs in the treatment of disease, and for the first time allows us to probe the inner commonality across disease. Many of Dr. Buttes analyses have revealed an unexpected role for inflammation in metabolic and other disease states. He is an exciting speaker working on the cutting edge of bioinformatics and systems medicine.

    The 2010 John Ring LaMontagne Lecture

    Peter J. Hotez, M.D., Ph.D., Distinguished Research Professor and Chair, Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Tropical Medicine at The George Washington University and President of the Sabin Vaccine Institute, will present the John Ring LaMontagne Lecture. His talk is titled, ???Rescuing the Bottom Billion Through Control of Neglected Tropical Diseases.???

    Dr. Hotez has devoted his research career to developing vaccines for parasitic diseases, with an emphasis on vaccines for hookworm and schistosomiasis. He is an internationally recognized leader in efforts to control neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), an array of parasitic and other chronic infections that disproportionately debilitate the world???s ???bottom billion??????subsistence farmers, urban poor and all those who live on less than a dollar a day. NTDs are largely to blame for keeping the bottom billion in poverty.

    In his talk, Dr. Hotez will discuss cost-effective options and advances in combating NTDs and will outline the challenges that remain. He will describe some of the current projects of the Sabin Vaccine Institute, including initiatives aimed at developing vaccines against hookworm and schistosomiasis. If successful, such vaccines could do much to alleviate the burden of disease affecting the bottom billion.

    The John Ring LaMontagne Memorial Lecture honors contributions to NIH and public health made by Dr. LaMontagne over the course of his 30-year career with NIAID. LaMontagne was the Institute???s first influenza program officer and the director of NIAID???s Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. He served as NIAID deputy director from 1998 until his untimely death in 2004. LaMontagne???s distinguished leadership in the field of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases earned him international recognition, numerous professional accolades and widespread appreciation and admiration.

  • Small Worlds: Crowd-sourcing, Crisis Maps and Military Mash-ups
    • - Rebecca Goolsby, Ph.D., Office of Naval Research (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : BSSR Lecture Series
    Social media is transforming humanitarian operations, providing new information inputs from many directions. One of the most intriguing new development is the innovation of the "crisis map." Beginning with the ubiquitous "Ushahidi platform," crisis maps are popping up everywhere, mapping H1N1 outbreaks, ethnic violence, election fraud, and a host of other social (and health) problems. This lecture will describe the crisis map phenomenon and the new social behaviors that it has promoted. It will look at the future of crisis maps and how the study of "socio-technical behavior"--new patterns of behavior that emerge from peoples reliance on social media and new mobile technologies--can help crisis planners to leverage desirable behavior (and be aware of the potential for new problems such technology can bring). A short overview of the Office of Naval Researchs effort in crisis mapping will also be presented.

    NIH Health Disparities Seminar Series

    In commemoration of National Minority Health Month, the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD) invites you to the next NIH Health Disparities Seminar Series scheduled for April 23, 2010.

    Place matters. The health of people from communities experiencing health disparities is affected by where they live. People from communities experiencing health disparities often have fewer medical services and access to fewer doctors and specialists than their more affluent suburban counterparts do. They often face environmental and political factors that affect health???from poor air quality to less school funding.

    Dr. Patrick Remington, Associate Dean for Public Health Professor at the Population Health Sciences School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin-Madison, developed a report that ranked the health of every county in the United States. The report, which was sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, measures premature death, quality of life, unemployment, poverty, air pollution, access to healthy food, chronic disease and lifestyle choices like smoking and alcohol use. The data draws attention to urgent health concerns in each community. It serves as a call to action that unites health professionals, city officials, educators and businesses that want to improve the health of people in their communities. Having local data is the biggest motivator for changing and improving the health of communities, according to Remington.

    • - Category : Conferences
    For many older adults, cognitive health and performance remain stable, with only a gradual and slight decline in short-term memory and reaction times. Others, however, progress into a more serious state of cognitive impairment or into various forms of dementia, including Alzheimer???s disease. In addition to investigating the causes and potential treatments for Alzheimer???s and other dementias, researchers are focused on finding ways to prevent cognitive decline. Many preventive measures for cognitive decline and for preventing Alzheimer???s have been suggested, but their value in delaying the onset and/or reducing the severity of decline or disease is unclear. Be part of pivotal discussions that will help answer critical questions related preventing Alzheimers disease and cognitive decline.

  • Binocular Function in Strabismus
    • - Jonathan Horton, M.D., Ph.D., University of California, San Francisco (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Neuroscience
    Dr. Horton studies the organization of the visual system in both humans and non-human primates. He has made a number of important discoveries that relate to the fine-scale anatomical organization of visual cortex, and how these relate to physiological processing of visual signals. He has used this range of tools to improve our understanding of how early binocular experience changes the anatomical and functional organization of the visual cortex, and how this relates to strabismus and amblyopia, in both human subjects and animal models.
