NIH Director's Seminar: From molecular understanding of multiple sclerosis to personalized treatments
NIH Director's Seminar
Polygenic diseases have complex pathophysiology and disease heterogeneity, where diverse mechanisms drive disability progression in different patients. Effective treatments of such diseases require patient-specific therapies that target all mechanisms contributing to the patient ’ s disease expression. Although many putative pathogenic mechanisms have been identified in central nervous system (CNS) autopsy materials from patients with neuroinflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS), current clinical practice cannot measure these processes in living human subjects. This limits drug develo...

2019 Demystifying Medicine Lecture- Autoimmunity: Basic and Clinical Advances and Challenges
Please join us for the next Demystifying Medicine lecture, " Autoimmunity: Basic and Clinical Advances and Challenges, " by Ronald Germain, M.D., Ph.D. (NIAID) and James Katz, M.D. (NIAMS) on April 23 from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the Building 50 conference room, first floor. CME credit is available.
Autoimmunity refers to a system of immune responses gone awry, tantamount to an attack against the body's own healthy cells and tissues with painful and often fatal consequences. This enemy within manifests itself in myriad ways, from targeted attacks (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis leading to debilitating joint damage) to multi...

Rapid, genetically tailored N-of-1 neurotherapeutics: a case study in Batten disease
NIH Neuroscience Series Seminar
Dr. Yu ’ s laboratory leads genome-wide searches for rare single-gene causes of autism to reveal ASD ’ s underlying genomic architecture, to understand its neurobiological causes, and to illuminate possible treatments. For instance, they are studying whole exome sequencing data from a large cohort of patients recruited via the Autism Sequencing Consortium, and have uncovered a striking enrichment of gene knockouts, especially in girls, and several dozen novel candidate genes, including several of special neurobiological interest responsible for glutamatergic and serotonergic signaling.
