Regulating Autoimmunity and Autoinflammation: Cytokine blockade and beyond
Immunonology IG Seminar
Richard Siegel's interest in immunology and apoptosis began in the late 1980's at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine where he was an M.D., Ph.D. student. Working with Mark Greene and John Reed, he studied the influence of bcl-2 on T cell apoptosis and repertoire selection. He trained in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology at Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and moved to the NIH in 1996 to do postdoctoral training with Michael Lenardo in the Laboratory of Immunology in the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease. There he studied apoptosis signaling and the molec...

Understanding Molecular Signatures of Aging
The Trans-NIH GeroScience Interest Group (GSIG), cordially invites you to its spring seminar, featuring Dr. GR Scott Budinger. Dr. Budinger is the Chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care in the Department of Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and is the Ernest S. Bazley Professor of Airway Diseases and a Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary and Critical Care) and of Cell and Molecular Biology. The Budinger laboratory is interested in understanding how aging biology intersects with the age-related risk of acute and chronic lung diseases. The Budinger lab is testing whether a decline in the function of...

Sounding the Alarm and Putting Out the Fire: New Mechanistic Insights into Inflammation Triggered by Invasive Infection
NIH Director ’ s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
The Lieberman laboratory studies cytotoxic T lymphocytes and their role in infection and tumor immunity. They study the molecular pathways used by killer lymphocytes and their cytotoxic granule proteases, called granzymes, and pore-forming proteins, perforin and granulysin, to induce programmed cell death. They have defined a caspase-independent programmed cell death pathway activated by granzyme A. Recent work has identified an unexpected role for granzymes and granulysin in protection against bacteria and parasites. They recently uncovered the molecular basis for infl...

Synaptic signaling in cerebellar circuits
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Margaret Pittman Lecture
Part of the NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series, the lecture is given by a researcher dedicated to advancing and improving the careers of women scientists. Since 1994 when this annual lecture began, every speaker has exemplified the intelligence, scientific excellence, and drive that made Margaret Pittman a leader as the first female laboratory chief at NIH.
The cerebellum facilitates learned, coordinated movements and corrects errors. Signals to execute these functions are carried out by the large neurons of the cerebellar nuclei, wh...

Anita Roberts Lecture: Specializations for decision making in primate prefrontal cortex
Women Scientist Advisors Anita Roberts Lecture
Specializations for decision making in primate prefrontal cortex
Some of the most sophisticated behaviors of primates, including humans, depend on the granular prefrontal cortex (PFC), yet there are few well defined and experimentally verified functional specializations within the primate PFC, especially at a causal level. Recent work from our laboratory has demonstrated contrasting specializations of the ventrolateral PFC (VLPFC) and the orbital PFC (also known as orbitofrontal cortex, OFC). We found that the OFC and the VLPFC play complementary roles in updating representat...

Rapid, genetically tailored N-of-1 neurotherapeutics: a case study in Batten disease
NIH Neuroscience Series Seminar
Dr. Yu ’ s laboratory leads genome-wide searches for rare single-gene causes of autism to reveal ASD ’ s underlying genomic architecture, to understand its neurobiological causes, and to illuminate possible treatments. For instance, they are studying whole exome sequencing data from a large cohort of patients recruited via the Autism Sequencing Consortium, and have uncovered a striking enrichment of gene knockouts, especially in girls, and several dozen novel candidate genes, including several of special neurobiological interest responsible for glutamatergic and serotonergic signaling.

Analysis of RBC Derived Microparticles from Sickle Cell Mice using Mass Spectrometry: The Impact of Sickle Cell Disease Induced Oxidative Stress on MP Proteome
Proteomics Interest Group
Polymerization of sickle cell hemoglobin S (HbS) is recognized as a key event in the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease (SCD). Repeated HbS polymerization promotes an altered red blood cell (RBC) membrane, hemolysis, and microparticles (MP) formation, which have been shown to play a significant role in the interaction of RBCs with vascular endothelium and progression of vaso-occlusive events. We have recently reported that free HbS oxidizes faster, remains locked in a highly oxidizing form (ferryl) longer and loses heme faster than normal HbA. The first part of this seminar will focus on the L...
