    David Allman is an Associate Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. He described what are now called transitional B cells during his PhD. This work showed that B cell maturation and formation of the B cell repertoire is completed in peripheral lymphoid tissues rather than in the bone marrow. Later, working with Warren Pear, he established roles for Notch in T lineage commitment. Recently he has focused on antibody secreting plasma cells, and has discovered that T-cell independent antigens can induce long-lived antibody responses. His laboratory is currently focused on the signaling and epigenetic mechanisms that support the generation of long-lived plasma cells. Abstract: Longitudinal studies of vaccine efficacy indicate antibody responses to many infectious agents last a lifetime; yet antibody responses to less complex protein antigens commonly exhibit relatively short half-lives. To gain insight into this problem, we are working to characterize the cellular and molecular processes underlying the long-term survival of antibody-secreting plasma cells in the bone marrow. Our work reveals that the bone marrow plasma cell pool is highly dynamic, consisting of both short- and long-lived cells characterized by distinct gene expression profiles and derived from a variety of sources beyond the canonical germinal center pathway.

    It is well established that place matters with respect to health and health outcomes. In studies of behavioral health, including violence, alcohol and other drug use, and mental health there is growing evidence that environmental risk is a strong predictor of behavior in highly disordered environments and may be a more salient predictor of high-risk behavior than individual-level risk factors. The field of health equity research has been defined as the study of the context where people live, work and play and experience health. Essential to the inquiry of health equity are understandings of how the environment shapes and influences opportunities for optimal (or sub-optimal) health as well as structural and policy interventions to address features of the built and social environment to promote behavioral health. Specific examples will be provided of innovative environmental assessment methods that offer the most resolute and policy-relevant approaches to characterizing the environment and environmental risk. In addition, recent examples from current policy-based research and implementation efforts to reduce alcohol outlet-density and expand behavioral health services in Baltimore City will be provided. This action-oriented research builds on recent advancements in the field of geographic information systems and offers promising new lines of research, service and advocacy in the field of health equity researc

    NIH Director`s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture

    DNA is our genetic blueprint. Generally it is expected that RNA sequences are identical to the underlying DNA. However, there are exceptions to this one-to-one relationship, such as the A-to-G RNA editing mediated by ADAR proteins. The Cheung lab uncovered many more sites where RNA sequences differ from the underlying DNA, beyond those mediated by the known RNA-editing mechanisms. Dr. Cheung will describe their findings of RNA-DNA sequence Differences, RDDs, and how their study of juvenile amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is leading to an understanding of RDD formation.

    Dr. Rogers lab seeks to understand and exploits interesting characteristics of `soft` materials, such as polymers, liquid crystals, and biological tissues as well as hybrid combinations of them with unusual classes of micro/nanomaterials, in the form of ribbons, wires, membranes, tubes or related. Their aim is to control and induce novel electronic and photonic responses in these materials; they also develop new `soft lithographic` and biomimetic approaches for patterning them and guiding their growth. This work combines fundamental studies with forward-looking engineering efforts in a way that promotes positive feedback between the two. Their current research focuses on soft materials for conformal electronics, nanophotonic structures, microfluidic devices, and microelectromechanical systems, all lately with an emphasis on bio-inspired and bio-integrated technologies. These efforts are highly multidisciplinary, and combine expertise from nearly every traditional field of technical study.

    NIH Director`s Seminar Series

    A central question in cell biology is how a single genome can give rise to many different cell types with specialized functions and properties. It has become increasingly apparent that proper control of gene expression requires complex organization of DNA at the level of chromatin. Chromatin insulators are DNA-protein complexes that influence gene expression by establishing chromatin domains subject to distinct transcriptional controls, likely through alteration of their spatial arrangement within the nucleus. Our work has focused on elucidating mechanisms of chromatin insulator function and regulation. Using a combination of genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, and high throughput sequencing approaches in the highly tractable model organism Drosophila melanogaster, we have uncovered a noncoding function by which certain mRNAs contribute to chromatin insulator activity. Moreover, our findings have revealed roles for RNA-binding proteins in mediating tissue-specific regulation of chromatin insulators. This seminar will focus on the discovery of these novel paradigms and explore the new questions raised by these insights.
