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...

CC Grand Rounds: Ethics Rounds: Capacity to Consent: What is it? Who has it?
Ethical clinical care and ethical clinical research depend on obtaining appropriate informed consent. However, obtaining consent in practice raises a number of challenges. What is required to give consent for clinical care, what is required to give consent for research, and how do they differ? Doe s an underlying cognitive impairment or psychiatric condition undermine the capacity to consent?
Please join us to discuss these and other challenges clinicians face when obtaining informed consent.

Immunology Interest Group
Amariliz Rivera received her B.S from the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez campus and her PhD from Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. She did her postdoctoral training at MSKCC under the mentorship of Eric Pamer where she began the abiding theme of her research-achieving a better understanding of how the immune system fights fungal infections. After her training, she moved to Rutgers where she is Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics and member of the Center of Immunity and Inflammation. Her work through the years has delineated fungus-specific CD4 T cell responses and mon...

Standing on the shoulders of mice: adventures in human immunology
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
While inbred mice have been a very powerful model for analyzing the immune system, recent advances, both technological and conceptual, have begun to make direct studies of the human immune system possible. This is vitally important from a translational perspective, as mouse models of disease have not been as productive as hoped for in producing “ actionable intelligence ” with which to diagnose and treat patients. Another benefit is that human work is almost unexplored territory for immunologists in our present time, where asking basic questions often results in unexpec...
