The neurobiology and evolution of vocal learning and spoken language
This lecture, established in 2011, recognizes Marshall Nirenberg for his work to decipher the genetic code, which resulted in his receiving the 1968 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Nirenberg ’ s research career at the NIH spanned more than 50 years, and his research also focused on neuroscience, neural development, and the homeobox genes. The Nirenberg lecture recognizes outstanding contributions to genetics and molecular biology.
The focus of Jarvis' research is the vocal learning capabilities in birds and how they learn to mimic sounds.His research with songbirds is being used to show the evolution of human l...

Transposons, a selfish friend in mammalian preimplantation development
Lin He is a professor in molecular& cell biology and UC Berkeley with research interests in the functional importance of the non-coding genome. The number of protein-coding genes clearly fails to correlate with the developmental and pathological complexity in mammals. Her research group's overall research interest is to understand the unique biological functions and molecular regulation of various non-coding RNAs and transposable elements in development and disease. Her group aims to understand the distinct biological functions and molecular regulation conferred by miRNAs, long ncRNAs and retrotransposons in development an...

NIH – FDA COVID SIG Lecture: Viral RNA Sensors in Human Immunity to SARS-CoV-2
This is an NIH – FDA COVID-19 SIG seminar talk. Helen Su, M.D., Ph.D., is chief of the Human Immunological Diseases Section in NIAID. LECTURE SUMMARY: Impaired type I IFN responses can lead to life-threatening COVID-19. Previous reports have established that the endosomal viral RNA sensors TLR3 and TLR7 initiate protective type I IFN responses during SARS-CoV-2 infections in humans. However, the role of the cytosolic RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs), which are more broadly expressed, has been less well studied. We investigated rare variants in the genes encoding MDA5, RIG-I, and their downstream signaling adaptor MAVS,from a ...
