From Data to Discoveries: Creating a Research Program for All of Us
On May 6, 2019, the All of Us Research Program will commemorate the one year mark of the program ’ s national launch. Far too many diseases do not have a proven means of prevention, or effective treatment. We must gain better insights into the biological, environmental, and behavioral influences on these diseases to make a difference for the millions of people who suffer from them. Precision medicine is a revolutionary approach for disease prevention and treatment that takes into account individual differences in lifestyle, environment, and biology. While some advances in precision medicine have been made, the practice i...

NIH Director's Seminar: Imaging the nanoscale structure of endocytosis with correlative super-resolution light and electron microscopy
NIH Director's Seminar Series
The plasma membrane separates the cell ’ s interior from the outside world. The exchange of signals and material across this barrier is regulated by a multitude of channels, transporters, receptors, and trafficking organelles. Mapping the molecular structure and dynamics of the plasma membrane is key to understanding how human cells function in health and malfunction in disease. Electron microscopy can produce high resolution images of the membrane. Historically, it has been challenging to locate and identify proteins within these images. Recently-developed super-resolution localization micr...

NIDCR Grand Rounds: Mechanoregeneration via Biomaterials
NIDCR Clinical Research Fellowship Grand Rounds
Dr. David Mooney ’ s research is based on the question, “ How do mammalian cells receive information from the materials in their environment? ” By using the tools of bioengineering and cell and molecular biology, he studies the mechanisms by which chemical or mechanical signals are sensed by cells, and how these signals alter cellular proliferation and specialization to either promote tissue growth or destruction. His research results inform the design and synthesis of new biomaterials that regulate the gene expression of interacting cells for a variety of tissue engine...

NCCIH Lecture: Watch Your Step, There Is New Chemistry Everywhere
NCCIH Integrative Medicine Research Lecture
The characterization of biologically active small molecules (natural products) produced by easily cultured bacteria has been a rewarding avenue for identifying novel therapeutics. The characterization of biologically active small molecules (natural products) produced by easily cultured bacteria has been a rewarding avenue for identifying novel therapeutics, as well as gaining insights into how bacteria interact with the world around them. Large-scale sequencing of bacterial genomic and metagenomic DNA indicates that the traditional pure culture – based approach to studying bact...

Microbial networking ( … it ’ s like Tinder for bugs)
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Annual Rolla E. Dyer Lecture
Few microbes (viruses, bacteria, fungi) live in isolation or exclusively with members of their own kingdom or domain. Affinities or aversions among microbial members influence the community structure, but these interactions can be reorganized with the arrival of disruptors. In respiratory infections, for example, infectious agents — be they viral or bacterial — are entering an environment within the host where they can impact existing ecological relationships among local residents. Disrupting these " social " networks has ecological and phys...
