Everything you wanted to know about microtubules but were afraid to ask
NIH Director's Seminar Series
Dr. Roll-Mecak will discuss the research of the Laboratory of Cell Biology and Biophysics Section, NINDS. The title of her talk is " Everything you wanted to know about microtubules but were afraid to ask " .
In addition to providing structural support, microtubules form a complex and dynamic intracellular " highway " that delivers molecular cargo from one end of the cell to another - which in the case of neuronal cells can span several feet. Given the continually changing cell physiology, this delivery system undergoes constant remodeling as cargo is transported to different destinations with...

Pathways to Prevention Workshop: Achieving Health Equity in Preventive Services (Day 2)
Chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are responsible for seven of every 10 deaths among Americans each year and account for 75% of the nation ’ s health spending. Many of these chronic conditions can be prevented, delayed, or caught and treated early when patients work closely with their primary care providers. Despite the proven value of preventive services, such as various screenings, provider counseling, and preventive medications, implementation by providers and uptake by patients of these evidence-based practices varies. Demographic and geographic differences in the use of these services are...

Defining the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute ’ s (NHLBI) research priorities in the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genomics (Day 2)
As genomic research and technological advances make genomic studies more affordable across larger samples of patients and participants, it is becoming increasingly urgent to address the ethical implications of these studies and consider how genomics is impacting society and clinical care. As such, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) is holding a workshop on September 12-13, 2018 to help establish research priorities in the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genomics research. This 1.5 day workshop will convene diverse, expert stakeholders with the goal of developing a list of recommended EL...
