CANCELLED - Demystifying Medicine - 1) The Challenge of Pandemic Preparedness 2) Current Status of Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases
Demystifying Medicine Lecture Series
Ebola, swine flu, drug-resistant tuberculosis, diarrheal diseases, and just about anything carried by mosquitoes … These are but a few of the infectious diseases that keep Drs. Fauci and Glass awake at night. Oh, and ticks, too. Threats are everywhere.
Every day, it seems, brings outbreaks and the potential for a pandemic. And yet, remarkably, scientists and healthcare providers on the frontlines manage to keep billions of people relatively safe. This Demystifying Medicine lecture by two of the biggest names in global health will provide a broad perspective on the myriad infectious d...

New Drugs, Old Problems: The Sulfonamide Revolution and Children ’ s Health Care Delivery in the United States, 1933-1949
Using pediatric patient records housed at the National Library of Medicine, Dr. Cynthia Connolly explore the transformation wrought by the sulfonamides in medical and nursing practice at Baltimore ’ s Sydenham Hospital. Published articles, oral histories, and physician memoirs reveal only part of the story of one of the twentieth century ’ s most pivotal scientific breakthroughs. Through patient records, which rarely survive intact, it is possible to appreciate the ways in which the new therapeutics demanded more intense bedside care, enhanced laboratory facilities, and new levels of cooperation. It also reveals how an...

Evolution of Adaptive Immunity in Vertebrates
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
William E. Paul Lecture
This annual lecture, begun in 2016 and part of the Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series, honors the legacy of Dr. William E. Paul. Dr. Paul was the leader of the NIH immunology community and his career is without parallel in the field of immunology.
The Cooper laboratory currently studies the evolution of adaptive immunity, primarily in jawless vertebrate models (lampreys and hagfish), and explores the use of lamprey monoclonal antibodies for diagnosis of infectious diseases and cancers in humans.For more information go tohttps://oir.nih.gov/wals/2019-...

Optimizing Reproducibility in Non-Human Primate Research Studies by Enhancing Rigor and Transparency (Day 2)
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is committed to supporting research of the highest quality and is actively pursuing measures to improve the reproducibility of biomedical research findings. The purpose of this NIH workshop is to build upon current reproducibility efforts by exploring best practices for enhancing rigor and transparency in studies specifically using non-human primate models. NIH is particularly interested in exploring the role of ethical factors that may influence the interpretability of non-human primate research findings, given that these models are of such critical importance to numerous research f...

NIH Director's Seminar: From molecular understanding of multiple sclerosis to personalized treatments
NIH Director's Seminar
Polygenic diseases have complex pathophysiology and disease heterogeneity, where diverse mechanisms drive disability progression in different patients. Effective treatments of such diseases require patient-specific therapies that target all mechanisms contributing to the patient ’ s disease expression. Although many putative pathogenic mechanisms have been identified in central nervous system (CNS) autopsy materials from patients with neuroinflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS), current clinical practice cannot measure these processes in living human subjects. This limits drug develo...
