Predictive Models for Acute Oral Systemic Toxicity (Day 2)
The development of test methods that reduce or replace animal use for acute toxicity tests required by regulatory authorities is one of ICCVAM ’ s high priority activities. To this end, the ICCVAM Acute Toxicity Workgroup, with support from NICEATM, sponsored a global project to develop in silico models of acute oral systemic toxicity that predict five specific endpoints identified by member regulatory agencies. These endpoints included identification of “ very toxic ” chemicals (LD50 less than 50 mg/kg), “ nontoxic ” chemicals (LD50 greater than or equal to 2000 mg/kg), point estimates for LD50s, and categorizat...

Moving Forward When Choices Aren ’ t Easy
Jones Loflin will discuss how to discover solutions to complex challenges faced by you and your team in today ’ s ‘ rarely easy ’ work environment.
Increased demands on your own time and shifting expectations for your team can leave you just trying to maintain status quo. Loflin says, “ failing to find answers and take action only puts you and your team further behind in accomplishing your mission. ” Using several “ real-world ” challenges and opportunities in ORS, Loflin will offer a number of formal strategies to work through these difficult situations and emerge with an initial action plan. Aren ’ t you ...

Single cell analysis of the effector T cell transcriptome
Immunonology IG Seminar
Dr. Thomas Ciucci is a post-doctoral fellow in Dr. R é my Bosselut ’ s group within the Laboratory of Immune Cell Biology (LICB). He received a Ph.D. in Genetics and Immunology from the University of Nice, France in 2012. His doctoral research work investigated the relationship between inflammatory immune cells, the tumor environment and bone tissue. Dr. Ciucci joined Dr. Bosselut ’ s group in 2013 to pursue his interests in the regulation of T cell responses. His research has focused on two aspects of T cell differentiation during the immune response. The first, identified a previously unrecog...

Simulation shows HIV capsid interacting with its environment
The genetic material of the HIV virus is encased in multiple structures that hide it from the host immune system. The capsid, in blue, protects the virus after it enters a cell and shuttles it to the nucleus, where it completes the process of infection.

Extension of Hydroxyl Radical-Based Footprinting Coupled with Mass Spectrometry for In Cell and In Vivo Protein Analysis
Proteomics Interest Group
In recent years, protein footprinting coupled with mass spectrometry has been used to identify protein-protein interaction sites and regions of conformational change through modification of solvent accessible sites in proteins. Hydroxyl radical-based footprinting (HRBF) approaches utilize hydroxyl radicals to oxidatively modify the side chains of solvent accessible amino acids. There are several approaches to generate radicals for oxidation including synchrotron radiation and electrochemistry. One HRBF method, fast photochemical oxidation of proteins (FPOP), utilizes an excimer laser for photolysi...

Towards the assembly of a synthetic bacterial cell
NIH Director's Seminar Series
Bacterial spores, amongst the hardiest organisms on earth, are dormant cell types produced by certain species to protect the cell ’ s genetic material from harsh environmental conditions. Spores of Bacillus subtilis are encased in a thick protein shell, the “ coat ” , which participates in conferring the amazing resistance properties of spores. Using a combination of classical genetics and biochemistry, buttressed by cytological, biophysical, and computational techniques, we are studying spore coat assembly to understand how cells build and localize large static biological structures. We...

How to Talk Your Way To A Stronger Team
The Office of Research Services will be providing a 3 part Professional Seminar Series for their employees. Part 3 will be about how to talk your way to a stronger team. In today ’ s technology-driven, fast-paced work environments, it ’ s so easy to forget the human element that is the key to building cohesive teams. We ’ ve become so busy trying to get work done that we sometimes neglect to invest time in fostering healthy work environments that help each team member deliver their best work. Our ability and willingness to listen is limited, we take a “ one size fits all ” approach to communication, and we rarely...
