Nanolayered drug-release systems for regenerative medicine and targeted nanotherapies
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Margaret Pittman Lecture
Alternating electrostatic assembly is a tool that makes it possible to create ultrathin film coatings that contain highly controlled quantities of one or more therapeutic molecules within a singular construct. These release systems greatly exceed the usual ranges of traditional degradable polymers. The nature of the layering process enables the incorporation of different drugs within different regions of the thin-film architecture; the result is an ability to uniquely tailor both the independent-release profiles and order-of-release of each therap...

The State of the World’s Antibiotics
Hailed as one of the most important achievements in medicine, the discovery and subsequent introduction of antibiotics meant that people could be treated and cured of once-fatal bacterial infections. However, the overuse and abuse of antibiotics is a growing public health concern, both in the United States and across the globe. Over time, bacteria have evolved to develop resistance to drugs that normally would kill them or limit their growth. As a consequence, many antibiotics have become less effective and are enabling untreatable strains of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and other bacteria to survive and m...

Change Your Brain by Transforming Your Mind
Stephen E. Straus Distinguished Lecture in the Science of Complementary Health Therapies
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health
In this talk, Dr. Davidson will present an overview of studies conducted in his laboratory on neural changes associated with different forms of meditation. Distinctions among three major forms of meditation practice will be made: Focused Attention, Open Monitoring, and Positive Affect Training. These different forms of meditation have different neural and behavioral effects. From the perspective of Western neuroscience, different forms of meditation can be conceptualized a...

Inferring Host-Pathogen Interactions from Diverse Data Sources
National Library of Medicine Informatics Lecture Series
Insight into the mechanisms and context of host-pathogen interactions can be gained by applying computational methods to a broad range of experimental, observational, and secondary data sources. Dr. Craven will discuss his work in three studies that involve developing and applying predictive methods in order to characterize host-pathogen interactions. In the first study, he is focused on inferring host subnetworks that are involved in viral replication from genome-wide loss-of-function experiments. Although these experiments can identify the h...
