WHIM Syndrome Immunodeficiency: the Trail from Tail to Tale
Immunology Interest Group Dr. Murphy is an authority on immunoregulation by chemokines and related leukocyte chemoattractants. His basic research discoveries include the first leukocyte chemoattractant receptors, including the HIV coreceptor CCR5; the HIV restriction factor CCR5D32; the first virally encoded chemokine receptors; and the role of CCR5 in West Nile virus pathogenesis. Dr. Murphy has received numerous patents and awards, including the NIAID Mentor of the Year Award, the NIH Director’s Award (twice), the Pillars of Immunology Award from the Journal of Immunology, and both the Dolph Adams Award and Marie Bonaz...

The Biology of CRISPRs: From Genome Defense to Genomic Engineering
Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
The Doudna lab pursues mechanistic understanding of fundamental biological processes involving RNA molecules. Research in the lab is currently focused on three major areas: bacterial immunity via the CRISPR system, RNA interference in eukaryotes, and translational control logic. We utilize diverse techniques including X-ray crystallography, high-throughput sequencing, biochemistry, molecular biology, and eukaryotic cell culture.For more information go to http://wals.od.nih.govAir date: 3/11/2015 3:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

How Shelterin Solves the Telomere End-Protection Problem
Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Dr. de Lange studied biochemistry at the University of Amsterdam and the Netherlands Cancer Institute. As part of her undergraduate training, she worked on globin gene expression at the National Institute for Medical Research (Mill Hill, London). She did her graduate work on the activation and transcription of surface antigen genes in typanosomes. After obtaining her Ph.D. in 1985, she was a postdoctoral fellow with Harold Varmus at the University of California, San Francisco, where she was one of the first to isolate the telomeres of human chromosomes.
Telomeres are nucleoprotein comp...

Redox Biology 2014 - NADPH Oxidase, Redox Imaging
Redox Biology
Recent advances in the biochemistry of redox-active species and radicals are beginning to be translated into improvements in prevention and treatment of cancer. Traditionally, reactive species such as superoxide, hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide (NO) are associated with toxicity; however, NO is useful in the treatment of angina and cardiovascular disease. Also, NO is involved in cancer tumor angiogenesis and apoptosis of cancer cells. This course is an overview presenting how redox-active species and radicals are generated; their effects on the cellular and physiological level, how they alter carcinogene...
