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...

Bioengineering Measurement of Receptor Biomarkers: Towards Cell Signaling Control in Health and Disease
Dysregulated vascularization is a hallmark of many disorders, including cancers, obesity, atherosclerosis, and the list is still growing. However, researchers have yet to achieve the promise of controlling vascularization to improve human health. We believe that Bioengineering, as a discipline, offers two key advantages for achieving this promise: 1) the sensitive tools and methods that have been engineered to quantitatively measure tissue and vascular microenvironments and 2) systems approaches, which integrate measurements and offer predictive insights. These approaches offer novel platforms for drug discovery and clinic...

2022 Stephen E. Straus Lecture: From the Mouths of Babes: What Can Research on Babies, Moms, Stress, and Substance Use Tell Us About Resilience?
Stress and adversity experienced during early development can exert a profound and persistent imprint on our physiology, brain, and health across the lifespan. This imprint can lead to long-term health outcomes ranging from substance use and depression to obesity and cardiovascular disease. There is also emerging evidence that stress and adversity may be transmitted from one generation to the next. However, protective experiences may prevent or mitigate these effects. This lecture will provide examples of findings from Dr. Laura Stroud ’ s laboratory focused on revealing the earliest intergenerational transmission of mat...
