BME-SIG Lecture: Navigating Academia to Biotech CEO
Dr. Laura Niklason is an Anesthesiologist, critical care physician, and a biomedical engineer. Supported by the NIH Medical Scientist Training Program from 1983 – 1988, she obtained her PhD in Biophysics in 1988 and then her MD in 1991. After completing clinical training, she became involved in the nascent field of tissue engineering/regenerative medicine in the mid-1990 ’ s. Niklason was fortunate to gain support for her research from the NIH, as well as several private foundations and the Defense Department, spanning from 1995 through 2022. Niklason ’ s work constantly sought to fuse concepts in physical sciences a...

NIH-FDA Immunology Interest Group 1.11.23
Klaus Fr ü h ’ s research focuses on understanding the molecular interaction between viral pathogens and their hosts, particularly the identification and characterization of viral gene products that modulate the innate and adaptive immune responses. This knowledge is translated into the development and improvement of cytomegalovirus (CMV)-vectored vaccines which are unique in their ability to persistently maintain an immune shield of so called effector memory T cells, including highly unconventional (MHC-II and MHC-E) restricted CD8+ T cells. CMV vectored vaccines have shown protection in non-human primate models of AID...

Molecular Medicine in the War on Cancer: Success or Failure?
Office of NIH History Lecture Series
A virologist is among the luckiest of biologists because he can see into his chosen pet down to the details of all of its molecules. ” --David Baltimore, 1975. Accepting his Nobel Prize for his part in the identification of reverse transcriptase, David Baltimore reflected on the “ luck ” that virologists enjoyed in their ability to see into problems with molecular precision. Although this vision seems inspiring and compelling today, Baltimore spoke at a time of fierce debate among biologists, legislators, and clinicians as to what, if anything, this molecular approach to disease o...

The History of Cancer Virus Research
This is a continuation of the Office of NIH History Lecture Series.
Speaker Robin Wolfe Scheffler, Associate Professor in the Science, Technology, and Society Program, is an historian of the modern biological and biomedical sciences and their intersections with developments in American history. He is currently working on a project that follows the history of cancer virus research in the twentieth century from legislature to laboratory, documenting its origins and impact on the modern biological sciences. His other projects include the history of the biotechnology industry and a chemical biography of dioxins. The common g...

Natural Language Processing for Knowledge Discovery in Biomedicine: a Focus on trans-NIH Use Cases
The explosion of biomedical big data and information in the past decade or so has created new opportunities for discoveries to improve the treatment and prevention of human diseases. But the large body of knowledge — mostly available as free text in journal articles for humans to read — presents a grand new challenge: individual scientists around the world are finding themselves increasingly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of research literature and are struggling to keep up to date and to make sense of this wealth of textual information. Our research aims to break down this barrier and to empower scientists by providi...

Soil bacteria Geobacter stands up to toxic cobalt.
Michigan State University researchers have shown that soil bacteria known as Geobacter are effective cobalt "miners," extracting the rare, toxic metal from rust without letting it penetrate their cells and kill them. Geobacter could form the basis of new biotechnology to reclaim and recycle cobalt ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)
