Can a Controversial Tree Help End the Opioid Crisis?
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) Integrative Medicine Research Lecture SeriesKratom (botanical nameMitragyna speciosa Korth) is a tree in the coffee family (Rubiaceae) indigenous to Southeast Asia. Its leaves are the source of a Thai traditional drug, kratom, that possesses unique pharmacologic actions — e.g., stimulant actions like those of the coca plant plus depressant ones like those of opium. Traditionally, in its countries of origin, kratom extract has been used as an opium substitute; in Thailand, it has been used as a treatment for addiction.Recently, human case reports have increa...

Toward Personalizing HIV Treatment and Prevention
This is the annual Rolla E. Dyer Lecture. Speaker Namandje Bumpus's laboratory uses mass spectrometry and molecular pharmacology based approaches to investigate the biotransformation of clinically used drugs by the cytochromes P450s. The cytochromes P450 are responsible for the metabolism of an estimated 75 percent of currently marketed drugs. Cytochrome P450-mediated biotransformation of drugs most often results in the production of hydrophilic metabolites that can be readily excreted from the body; however, in certain instances toxic metabolites are formed that can stimulate cell death and organ failure.For more informat...

Systems Biology Interest Group: Learning to rewire cells
Systems Biology Interest Group
Traditionally, biology has focused on deconstructing and mapping the molecular systems that carryout complex regulatory functions. We still lack, however, a more global understanding of the design principles governing how cells solve problems and make regulatory decisions. To address this problem, we have been complementing deconstructionist approaches with synthetic approaches in which we ask how to build molecular systems that can execute particular regulatory tasks. Are there a limited number of molecular algorithms that evolution can use to solve common physiological tasks? If so, can we ...
