Identifying Novel Genes That Impact T Cell Effector Function
This is jointly sponsored with the IIG. " Within every teaspoon of our blood are 5 million potential killer cells. These are remarkable little cells that circulate around our bodies recognizing and destroying virally infected and cancer cells with extraordinary specificity and precision. We have discovered new genes that suggest that many different components within killer cells play a part in delivering the lethal hit. We wish to work out how each part of the killer cell contributes. We study killer cells in which the new genes are missing to see where things go wrong. We are able to film live killer cells and pin-point w...

Genomic Basis of Breast Cancer Progression in Blacks
This is the annual Marshall W. Nirenberg Lecture. Speaker Olufunmilayo I. Olopade the consummate physician-scientist with sustained and impactful translational research in genetics that spans more than two decades. She is a pioneer in cancer genetics whose body of work has focused on the molecular genetics of breast cancer progression. Her seminal contributions have provided an understanding of the root causes of aggressive breast cancer in young women, especially young women of African ancestry across the Diaspora. Her laboratory was the first to describe recurrent BRCA1 mutations in extended African American families wit...

Organoids to Model Human Disease
Stem cells are the foundation of all mammalian life. They come in two flavors. Embryonic stem cells are briefly present in the early human or mouse embryo, a few days after fertilization. These stem cells can be grown indefinitely in the lab and have the potential to build each and every tissue in our body. ES cells hold great promise in the field of regenerative medicine. Adult stem cells. Every organ in our body harbors its own dedicated stem cells. These adult stem cells replace tissue that is lost due to wear and tear, trauma and disease. Adult stem cells can only produce the tissue in which they reside. The adult stem...

Imaging Inflammation Resolution and Wound Repair
Speaker Anna Huttenlocher's research focuses on understanding the basic molecular mechanisms that regulate cell movement — in the context of wound healing, inflammation and cancer. Cell migration plays a central role in many different disease processes including cancer, heart disease and autoimmune disease. Insight into the mechanisms that regulate cell migration will contribute to our understanding of basic cellular processes, but will also aid in the identification of new treatment strategies for a wide variety of medical conditions. Despite extensive interest in the receptors and mechanisms involved during cell migrat...

Knowing Right From Wrong (Protein Conformation): The Challenging Choices of (Molecular) Chaperones
Speaker Judith Frydman's research is to understand how proteins fold in living cells. The Frydman lab uses a multidisciplinary approach to address fundamental questions about molecular chaperones, protein folding and degradation. In addition to basic mechanistic principles, we aim to define how impairment of cellular folding and quality control are linked to disease, including cancer and neurodegenerative diseases and examine whether reengineering chaperone networks can provide therapeutic strategies.For more information go tohttps://oir.nih.gov/walsAir date: 3/16/2022 3:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

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...

Elucidation and Pharmacological Targeting of Cellular Dependencies at the Single Cell Level
Speaker Andrea Califano, Ph.D, is a pioneer in the field of systems biology and founding chair of the Department of Systems Biology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. A physicist by training, Dr. Califano has taken innovative, systematic approaches to identify the molecular factors that lead to cancer progression and to the emergence of drug resistance at the single-cell level. Directing the conversation about cancer research away from focusing solely on gene mutations, Dr. Califano examines the complex and tumor-specific molecular interaction networks that determine cancer cell behavior. Using information theor...
