Leveraging the Intramural Research Program to Effect Foundational Progress in Neurodegenerative Disease
This is the annual G. Burroughs Mider Lecture. Speaker Andrew Singleton works on the genetic basis of neurological disorders including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer ’ s disease, dystonia, ataxia, dementia with Lewy bodies, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). His team seeks to identify genetic variability that causes or contributes to disease and to use this knowledge to understand the underlying molecular processes. Most recently his work has expanded to the use of multimodal data in predicting disease. Dr. Singleton ’ s group discovered a number of genetic mutations that cause disease, including the alpha-synucl...

Demystifying Medicine - Parkinson ’ s Disease: Advances and Challenges
Demystifying Medicine Lecture Series
Parkinson's is a long-term degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that causes tremors, slowness of movement, rigidity, and postural instability. The disease may also lead to depression, anxiety, and, in the advanced stages of the disease, dementia. The cause remains unknown, and there is no cure. However, treatment to ameliorate symptoms has advanced in promising ways over the past decade.
Ellen Sidransky, M.D., is an NIH senior investigator and chief of the NHGRI Medical Genetics Branch and Section on Molecular Neurogenetics. Her lab aims to understand and to optimize trea...

Demystifying Medicine: Autophagy: Mechanisms and Malfunctioning in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Demystifying Medicine Lecture Series
Autophagy is the body's natural way to clean out damaged cells. Yet defects across the various stages of autophagy appear to be a common link among neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Understanding the breakdown of autophagy processes may offer important insights into pathogenesis and therapy.
Dr. Cuervo is the Robert and Ren é e Belfer Chair for the Study of Neurodegenerative Diseases at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Her lab has linked alterations in lysosomal protein degradation, a form of autophagy, with numerous neu...

Translating Thought into Blood Flow in the Brain: Capillaries as Sensors of Neural Activity
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
The Nelson laboratory ’ s research interests include elucidating the mechanisms by which cerebral blood flow is controlled to meet the diverse and ever-changing demands of active neurons and how these mechanisms are disrupted in small vessel disease (SVD) — a major cause of stroke and dementia. Dr. Nelson and colleagues have unraveled many of the major mechanisms that control cerebrovascular function, including the discovery of local calcium signals ( “ sparks ” ), which counter-intuitively oppose vasoconstriction. They have recently shown that brain capillaries ac...

From Mechanisms to Medicines: Realizing the DREAM of an Alzheimer's Cure
NIH Director's Seminar Series
The repeated failures of disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer ’ s disease (AD) have increased the urgency to identify novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers for AD and related dementias (ADRD). Dr. Thambisetty's Clinical and Translational Neuroscience Section has applied a systems biology approach leveraging deep molecular phenotyping by multi-OMICs methods in brain and blood in combination with multi-modal neuroimaging and epidemiological analyses to identify abnormal metabolic pathways in ADRD associated with severity of pathology and expression of clinical symptoms. These studies ...
