Mammalian DNases and their role in the tug of war between Staphylococcus aureus and the host
Immunology Interest Group
Victor J. Torres is a microbiologist investigating how multidrug-resistant bacteria cause disease and identifying new therapies to fight and prevent infection. Torres uses a diverse range of techniques spanning genetics, molecular biology, immunology, and bioinformatics to study the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). S. aureus causes a wide range of diseases, from mild skin infections to life-threatening blood infections. Highly virulent and, in some instances, resistant to antibiotics (known as methicillin-resistant S. aureus, or MRSA), S. aureus is responsible for millions of illnesses ...

CFTR, the Odd ABC Transporter Responsible for Cystic Fibrosis
Speaker Jue Chen, Ph.D., of The Rockefeller University, studies ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, a diverse group of membrane proteins integral to almost every biological process. In prokaryotes, these proteins are critical for survival. In humans, ABC transporters make up one of the largest gene families, and more than a dozen genetic diseases have been traced to ABC transporter defects. ABC transporters are also central to multidrug resistance in many pathogenic bacteria and in tumor cells.For more information go tohttps://oir.nih.gov/walsAir date: 4/28/2021 3:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)

Sailing Close to the Breeze: Hospital Epidemiology in the COVID-19 Pandemic
NIH COVID-19 SIG Lecture Series
Dr. Palmore will discuss infection control related to COVID-19. Dr. Palmore began her career at the NIH as a staff clinician in the NIAID Laboratory of Clinical Infectious Diseases. She became deputy hospital epidemiologist in the NIH Clinical Center in 2007 and became hospital epidemiologist in 2014. As hospital epidemiologist, Dr. Palmore aims to optimize patient safety through prevention of hospital-acquired infections. Her research interests include modes of nosocomial transmission of multidrug-resistant bacteria, Clostridium difficile and antimicrobial stewardship.Air date: 5/20/2020 3:...

Bending the Arc: Film Screening and Discussion
NIH is hosting a screening of " Bending the Arc " that will be followed by a conversation between NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins and Dr. Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank Group. The film illustrates how Dr. Kim, doctor and humanitarian Paul Farmer, activist Ophelia Dahl, and local communities delivered world-class care for complicated diseases such as multidrug resistant tuberculosis and HIV, in the most impoverished of settings in Haiti.Air date: 3/12/2018 2:30:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)
