NIH – FDA COVID SIG Lecture with Michael Diamond, WUSTL
Michael S. Diamond, MD, PhD, is the Herbert S. Gasser Professor, Departments of Medicine, Molecular Microbiology, Pathology& Immunology, WUSTL. Diamond ’ s laboratory studies the molecular basis of disease of globally emerging RNA viruses, and focuses on the interface between pathogenesis and host immunity. He identified many of the key innate and adaptive immune system components that define protection against flaviviruses, and the viral genes that antagonize this response. His laboratory made a seminal discovery by identifying a novel pathogen-associated molecular pattern (lack of 2 ′ -O methylation on the 5 ′ vira...

Neurobiology of the World ’ s Most Dangerous Animal
This is an NIH Director's Lecture. Speaker Leslie Vosshall is interested in the molecular neurobiology of mosquito host-seeking behavior. Female mosquitoes require a blood meal to complete egg development. In carrying out this innate behavior, mosquitoes spread dangerous infectious diseases such as malaria, dengue, Zika, Chikungunya, and yellow fever. Humans attract mosquitoes via multiple sensory cues including emitted body odor, heat, and carbon dioxide in the breath. The mosquito perceives differences in these cues, both between and within species, to determine which animal or human to target for blood-feeding. We have ...

New insights into the human type I interferon response revealed by flavivirus-host interactions
NIH Director's Seminar Series
More than a quarter of the world ’ s population is at annual risk of infection with flaviviruses, which include West Nile virus, Zika virus, dengue virus, yellow fever virus and tick-borne encephalitis virus. Despite being closely related, these viruses have evolved different mechanisms to evade the type I interferon response. This seminar will discuss two distinct interactions between various flaviviruses and human interferon signaling pathways. These two studies provide new insight into regulation of interferon signaling through the IFNAR receptor, as well as the antiviral functions of the...

Not Your Average (Flavi)Virus: Clinical and Epidemiologic Investigations of Zika Virus in Puerto Rico
LCID - Wednesday Research Conference
Following the introduction of Zika virus into Puerto Rico in late 2015,>38,000 laboratory-positive cases have been reported to public health authorities to date. Due to unexpected routes of transmission and severe clinical complications associated with Zika virus infection, research studies in Puerto Rico have included: conducting facility-based enhanced surveillance to better define the spectrum of Zika virus disease and associated complications; establishing a prospective cohort of infected individuals to estimate the duration of Zika virus shedding in various body fluids; and case-co...

New Insights into Flavivirus Pathogenesis and Immunity: Yes, that Includes Zika Virus.
Dr. Michael Diamond received a B.A. degree in political science at Columbia University before pursuing medical and graduate training at Harvard School of Medicine. As a graduate student, he investigated the regulation of the integrin Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) in the laboratory of Dr. Timothy Springer. He did a residency and a clinical fellowship in infectious diseases at the University of California, San Francisco, and most of his post-doctoral training in the laboratory of Dr. Eva Harris at the University of California, Berkeley. He was recruited to Washington University in St. Louis as an Assistant Professor in 2001 and is now ...

Infectious Disease Research: Quantitative Methods and Models in the era of Big Data Statistical Workshop (Day 2)
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together quantitative methods researchers in infectious diseases in order to exchange ideas on the latest topics in infectious disease research and to provide a forum for rich discussion and future directions. The application areas that will be covered include methods to study spread of infectious agents (HIV, malaria, TB, HCV, dengue, etc.) and the interaction of these agents with hosts as well as the impact of prevention and treatment interventions. Air date: 11/10/2015 8:30:00 AM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

Demystifying Medicine 2015 - Dengue: Breakbone Fever: a Major Unpublicized Killer Disease
The 2015 Demystifying Medicine Series, which is jointly sponsored by FAES and NIH, will begin January 6th and includes the presentation of patients, pathology, diagnosis and therapy in the context of major disease problems and current research. Primarily directed toward Ph.D. students, clinicians and program managers, the course is designed to help bridge the gap between advances in biology and their application to major human diseases. Each session includes clinical and basic science components presented by NIH staff and invitees. All students, fellows and staff are welcome, as well.For more information go to http://demys...

The Neurogenetics of Innate Behaviors
Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Female mosquitoes require a blood meal to complete egg development. In carrying out this innate behavior, mosquitoes spread dangerous infectious diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and yellow fever. Humans attract mosquitoes via multiple sensory cues including emitted body odor, heat, and carbon dioxide in the breath. The mosquito perceives differences in these cues, both between and within species, to determine which animal or human to target for blood-feeding. This strong attraction to humans is strongly attenuated for up to 4 days after the female takes a blood-meal, suggesting th...
