Trade-off Resiliencies, Competing Disease Risks, and Ageotypes Virtual Workshop (Day 2)
Age is the primary risk factor for most major medical conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. Aging, disease development, respectively resilience, are thus interconnected, but the molecular pathways and cellular mechanisms involved are not well understood. Deep multi-omics profiling appears to distinguish four molecular patterns of aging in individuals, “ ageotypes, ” that may be connected to competing risk of age-associated diseases. Recent research indicates that development of CVD or cancer are perhaps due to trade-offs between certain genes and processes,...

Getting to the “ Heart ” of Cardiometabolic Health Disparities
NIH Director ’ s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Annual Robert S. Gordon Jr. Lecture
Cardiometabolic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease, are exceedingly common and are collectively considered the leading causes of death worldwide. In this lecture, Dr. Lisa Cooper will describe the current state of cardiometabolic health disparities among adults in the United States. She will then discuss how interventions to reduce cardiometabolic health disparities are designed, implemented, and evaluated, and how these interventions address contributors to disparities at multiple levels...

IIG Seminar - Gwendalyn Randolph
Dr. Randolph ’ s research integrates the study of monocytes, monocyte-derived cells, and dendritic cells with vascular and lymphatic vessel biology. Dr. Randolph and her team have pioneered assays to study migration of these immune cells to lymph nodes in various tissues, and their work on tracking monocytes has led to advances in understanding the relationship of monocytes to the dendritic cell system in vivo. This work has led to identification of a core set of genes that define macrophages, while revealing striking tissue-specific profiles for resident macrophages in different organs. Her group has also developed assa...

NIH Director's Seminar Series: Neuronal-origin extracellular vesicles in the circulation as a source of biomarkers for brain diseases
Extracellular Vesicles enriched for neuronal origin (NEVs) can be isolated from plasma by immunoaffinity capture. NEVs provide biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, disease monitoring, and therapeutic response in Alzheimer ’ s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD), and, increasingly, other neurologic and psychiatric disorders. NEV biomarkers for preclinical AD have been validated in large longitudinal cohorts, such as the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. Moreover, NEV biomarkers can identify clinical subgroups (e.g., Parkinson ’ s disease patients with cognitive impairment), facilitating the development of Preci...

Health Disparities among Sexual and Gender Minorities (SGM) - Day 1
The goal of this virtual two-day meeting is to identify priority research areas to understand and address SGM health disparities. Specifically, the workshop objectives are to identify research gaps in: (1) data sources and measures that can be used to assess and address SGM health disparities, (2) mechanisms and pathways that drive/cause SGM health disparities, and (3) interventions with the potential to mitigate/reduce SGM health disparities. The workshop will bring together a diverse set of researchers with expertise on important health outcomes (e.g., cancer, mental/behavioral health, cardiovascular disease, diabetes an...
