Sleuthing the Microbiome Reveals Undercover Agents of Oncogenesis
The annual Astute Clinician Lecture was established in 1998 through a gift from the late Dr. Robert W. Miller and his wife, Haruko. It honors U.S. scientists who have observed unusual clinical occurrences and, by investigating them, have opened an important new avenue of research. The lectureship exemplifies how astute clinical observations can lead to innovative research. Speakers are proposed by members of the Medical Executive Committee (MEC) with voting for the top three candidates. Selection from this slate of candidates is made by the NIH Director.
An expert in foodborne and intestinal infections, Cynthia Sears is ...

NIH Director's Seminar Series: Molecular regulation of synaptic inhibition
The vast majority of fast inhibitory transmission in the brain is mediated by GABA acting on GABAA receptors (GABAARs), which provides inhibitory balance to excitatory drive and controls neuronal output. Dysregulations of GABAARs and inhibitory synapses have been implicated in a variety of brain disorders, such as epilepsy, anxiety and depression. Pharmacological intervention for these disorders relies on several drug classes that target GABAARs, such as benzodiazepines and neurosteroids. The goal of Lu laboratory is to understand the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the regulation of GABAARs and inhibitory syn...

IIG Seminar - CD3z ITAMs mediate TCR ligand discrimination
Dr Guillaume Gaud is the IIG ’ s selected trainee for the 2022-2023 seminar series. Dr. Gaud completed his PhD in molecular oncology at the University of Tours before joining the laboratory of Dr. Saoudi at Inserm where he described the role of CD226 signaling in the amplification of CD4+ T-cell TCR signaling. As a Research Fellow in the laboratory of Paul Love at NICHD, Dr. Gaud has continued to research constituents of the TCR signaling complex. Dr. Gaud has recently demonstrated that T cells expressing TCRs containing inactivated (non-signaling) CD3z ITAMs (6F-CD3z) lose their ability to discriminate between low and h...

IIG Seminar - Heterologous Immunity: How Infection History affects Inflammatory Diseases
Our understanding of host-pathogen interaction is primarily derived from studying how the immune system protects us from a single pathogen. In contrast, it is largely unknown how this response alters the body ’ s ability to respond to a second infectious agent or the susceptibility to autoimmunity or cancer. Nicole Joller and her group investigate the long-term effects of pathogenic challenges on future responses. Currently, they are focusing on changes in the regulatory compartment of the adaptive immune system. The Joller laboratory employs in-vivo animal models, cellular assays and genome-scale approaches to investiga...

IIG Seminar - Multimodal decoding of liver regeneration and repair
Neil Henderson, Professor of Tissue Repair and Regeneration at the University of Edinburgh, is an academic hepatologist with an international profile in defining cellular interactions and molecular pathways driving organ fibrosis. Organ fibrosis (scarring) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and as yet there are no effective anti-fibrotic treatments. Dr. Henderson is primarily interested in the cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive organ fibrosis, and the pathways which are responsible for efficient wound healing and healthy tissue regeneration following injury. Dr. Henderson and his group have de...
