    • - Category : Stem Cell
    The Stem Cell Interest Group was established to enhance communication and to foster collaboration among scientists from varying disciplines interested in stem cells. Topics of interest include fundamental stem cell biology, ontogeny, gerontology, and the therapeutic potential of stem cells. The SCIG serves as an open forum for discussion and dissemination of knowledge about all aspects of stem cell biology

  • Cultural Context and System Change: Partners or Odd Couple for Eliminating Heath Inequalities
    • - Eugenia Eng,University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : BSSR Lecture Series
    Introduction: Seven years after the Institute of Medicine???s landmark report, Unequal Treatment, and well after US medical schools and healthcare institutions have mandated nearly universal training programs on culturally competent care, less favorable treatment outcomes, shorter survival time, and excess mortality continue to fuel persistent racial and ethnic health inequities. Recognition is growing in health disparities research for applied collaborative approaches, such as CBPR, and alternative methodologies, such as systems science. For community members and researchers to be engaged equitably in systems thinking, what would be the common language and framework? To achieve racial equity in cancer care, what would systems change look and feel like?

    Methods: To address these questions, the Greensboro Health Disparities Collaborative (GHDC) in North Carolina has been engaged for 7 years in grounding its 35 community, academic, and health professional members in CBPR principles and the vocabulary and framework of Undoing Racism(UR). GHDC codified the UR framework of ???systems of power and authority??? for achieving health equity through: the methodologies of Power Analysis, Story Telling on experiencing or contributing to racism in the healthcare system, and Critical Incident Technique interview; a Full Value Contract; Research Ethics Certification for Non-Traditional Investigators; Guidelines for Publications and Dissemination; GHDC By-Laws; and Health Equity Training for medical residents.

    Results: We will define the key concepts and terminology for: (1) the historical context of race-based inequities; (2) the complex mix of behavioral, economic, and social factors of health inequities; and (3) their effects on equitable engagement in systems thinking. Findings will be presented from our NCI-funded (R21), Cancer Care and Racial Equity Study: A CBPR Approach, on transparency and accountability as essential elements for system change in cancer care. Implications for systems change intervention research will be discussed, using as an example our pending R01 application, Accountability for Cancer Care through Undoing Racism and Equity.

    • - Ron Gress, M.D., Center for Cancer Research, NCI, NIH (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : NCI CCR Grand Rounds (NIH Only)
    Dr. Gress received his B.S., summa cum laude from Creighton University in Omaha, NE, and his M.D., with honors from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. He completed his internal medicine residency and oncology fellowship training at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, where he later served as assistant professor of medicine and assistant chief of service for the Osler Medical Service. Dr. Gress began his career at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in the Immunology Branch in 1979 as a clinical associate in the laboratory of Dr. Richard Hodes. He served as a senior investigator in the Immunology Branch from 1983 to 1988 and in 1988 became a senior investigator in the Experimental Immunology Branch, where he continues as head of the Transplantation Immunology Section. In 1992, he established the Transplantation Therapy Section, Medicine Branch as a preclinical/clinical laboratory. Dr. Gress was appointed chief of the Experimental Transplantation and Immunology Branch in 2000 and served as chief of CCR???s Medical Oncology Clinical Research Unit from 2001 to 2005. His research interests are in the area of transplantation immunology, with emphasis on the mechanisms by which peripheral T cell populations are generated and maintained. He is widely recognized for his translational work in developing approaches by which T cell homeostasis can be studied in a variety of clinical settings. Dr. Gress was awarded the NCI Director???s Award and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director???s Award in 2002 and received the NIH Director???s Award for Excellence and Mentoring in 2009.

  • Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RAC) June 2010 - Day 1
    • - NIH (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee
    The RAC is a technical committee whose goal is to consider the current state of knowledge and technology regarding recombinant DNA. This includes review of human gene transfer trials, and an assessment of the ability of DNA recombinants to survive in nature and the potential for transfer of genetic material to other organisms. It also considers hypothetical hazards and methods for monitoring and minimizing risks. Approximately one-third of the 15 members do not have scientific expertise but represent public interests and attitudes. This balance is intended to provide a forum for open public debate of social and scientific issues attendant to recombinant DNA research. The RAC has been overwhelmingly successful in achieving this goal.

  • Report from Haiti: rebuilding research & training programs in the aftermath of disaster
    • - Dr. Jean "Bill" Pape, Founding director of GHESKIO, the worlds first HIV/AIDS clinic (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Special
    Please join us for an update of the situation in Haiti from Dr. Jean Bill Pape, longtime NIH grantee and founder of GHESKIO, the worlds first institution dedicated to fighting HIV/AIDS. Since the January earthquake, Dr. Pape and his GHESKIO colleagues have been providing care for about 7,000 homeless people camped on its campus in downtown Port-au-Prince. They have provided emergency surgery and rehabilitation care to 3,000 trauma victims, scaled-up tuberculosis screening and treatment for 2,000 patients, and continued HIV services for 22,000 patients. GHESKIO is also committed to continuing its research and research training activities, which have been supported by NIH for more than two decades.

    GHESKIO, an acronym for Groupe Hatien d???tude du Sarcome de Kaposi et des Infectieuses Opportunistes, has just been named the recipient of the 2010 Gates Award for Global Health. The organization has provided continuous medical care in Haiti since 1982???never once shutting its doors or charging fees.

    A Haitian physician, Dr. Pape graduated from Weill Cornell Medical College in 1975 and returned to Haiti in 1979. He is an international leader in the fight against AIDS and the provision of health care for the resource-poor. In recognition of his achievements, he has received the Legion dHonneur from the French government, the Carlos Slim 2010 global health award and has been elected a member of the Institute of Medicine.

    This event is sponsored by Fogarty International Center, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the NIH Office of Aids Research.
