  • NINRs 25 Anniversary Kick Off Symposium
    • - National Institute of Nursing Research (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Conferences
    Starting this fall, NINR will begin commemorating its 25th anniversary. In 1986, our Institute was founded on the belief that nursing science not only deserved a place within NIH, but also that it could contribute in new and distinctive ways to the health care sciences and improve the health of our nations people. Reaching our 25th anniversary is not simply a milestone -- it signifies the progress and achievement of nursing science.

    • - Category : Health Disparities
    After attending this session, participants will be able to: describe the problem of health literacy in the US, understand how levels of health literacy are determined and the consequences of low health literacy, and explore strategies for designing, implementing, and disseminating tailored health information for patient groups/populations with different levels of literacy and different cultural backgrounds. In addition, participants will also have developed an understanding of cultural competency issues related to race, gender, class and other factors and have explored the interconnectedness of identities across differences, critical consciousness, and its relationship to cultural competence. Participants will also be able to develop a framework for cultural competency within the context of one???s environment.

  • The Genetics of Tauopathies: Modifying Genes and the Mechanisms they Reveal
    • - Gerard Schellenberg, Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Neuroscience
    Dr. Schellenberg has worked on the genetics of Alzheimer???s disease, starting with ground-breaking research on early-onset familial Alzheimer???s disease followed by work on late-onset dementia which is where much of his current effort is focused. He is founder and head of the Alzheimer???s Disease Genetics Consortium supported by the National Institute on Aging. He also worked on the genetics of aging and his group identified the gene for Werner???s Syndrome, a premature aging syndrome. In addition, he is working on the molecular genetics on other neurodegenerative disorders related to Alzheimer???s disease with a focus on frontotemporal dementia, Guam amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/parkinsonism dementia complex and progressive supranuclear palsy. This work includes using both invertebrate and vertebrate model organisms to study tauopathies.

    Dr. Schellenberg leads the Alzheimer???s Disease Genetics Consortium (ADGC), which is comprised of a group of investigators who are using genome-wide association analysis methods to identify Alzheimer???s disease. The Consortium works with the 29 National Institute on Aging funded Alzheimer???s Disease Centers to collect samples for analysis. The ADGC was formed in 2007 and fully funded in April, 2009. He is also working on unraveling the genetics of autism, a complex neurodevelopmental disorder. He participates in the Autism Genome Project consortium. His current efforts focus on deep sequencing of genes suspected of being involved in autism risk.

    OBA manages the Secretarys Advisory Committee on Genetics, Health, and Society (SACGHS), which advises the Secretary of Health and Human Services on the broad range of human health and societal issues raised by the development and use and potential misuse of genetic technologies.

    Extraordinary scientific advances in biology, human genetics, and genomics are speeding the development of new technologies to predict, diagnose, and treat disease. These technologies, however, have medical, ethical, legal, and social implications and their integration into clinical and public health practice must be done with great care.

  • Being Energetic About Mitochondrial Proteomics
    • - NIH Mitochondria Interest Group (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Mitochondria
    The mitochondria are multi-faceted organelles involved in cellular processes such as energetics, survival, and signal transduction. These processes may be altered in various environmental conditions and disease states. Although mitochondria have their own genome, much of the mitochondrial proteome is encoded by nuclear DNA and then imported to the organelles. It is being observed that mitochondrial proteomes vary under cell context in both the type of proteins present and post-translational modifications. Because each organ has various energetic and homeostatic requirements, this implies mitochondria have adapted to needs of specialized cells. Studies into mitochondrial proteomes are bringing novel insights into how mitochondrial function and under what circumstances they become dysfunctional. These sessions will highlight proteomics in mitochondrial research with relevance to toxicology and disease.

  • Linking Data Mining, Text Mining and Ontology for Functional Interpretation of Proteomics Data in Systems Biology Context
    • - Cathy Wu, Ph.D., University of Delaware (2010/11/18)
    • - Category : Proteomics
    NIH Proteomics Interest Group Seminar Series

    Many bioinformatics tools have been developed for the management and analysis of proteomics data. However, functional analysis and interpretation of large-scale proteomics data remain challenging and require effective use of advanced bioinformatics methods and databases for data integration, mining, and comparative analyses. Our group has developed a protein-centric framework for systems integration and mining of omics data, and knowledge capture of protein forms and complexes. The system features include: (i) integration of over 100 molecular and omics databases, along with gene/protein ID mapping from disparate data sources; (ii) data mining and text mining capabilities for literature-based knowledge extraction; and (iii) interoperability with ontologies to capture functional properties of proteins, splice isoforms, post-translational modifications and complexes. Scientific use cases will be presented to illustrate how the integrative bioinformatics approach supports biological pathway and network analysis of proteomics data and facilitates hypothesis generation and target identification in systems biology context.
