NIH Research Festival Plenary Session II - New insights through clinical imaging
The NIH intramural program has helped to pioneer the field of clinical imaging, from the earliest development of MRI technology and Louis Sokoloff ’ s now classic PET scan techniques to map and measure brain function, to recent breakthroughs such as MRI-guided closed-chest heart repair. This plenary session highlights the latest research of three NIH PIs who are extending this fine tradition of intramural-based clinical imaging advances. Shawn Chen, Ph.D. (NIBIB), will discuss nanotheranostics, the integration of diagnostic and therapeutic function in one system using the benefits of nanotechnology, which may be essentia...

NCL Lessons Learned Workshop 2016
NCI's Nanotechnology Characterization Lab (NCL) is providing an intensive workshop on the science of preclinical characterization of nanomaterials. This meeting will cover some of the " lessons learned " from the NCL's testing of more than 350 nanotechnology-based candidate cancer treatments and diagnostics.
The half-day session will cover methods for nanomaterial characterization, including strategies for evaluating batch-to-batch consistency, surface characterization, nanomaterial ADME/Tox and PK, sterility and endotoxin contamination, immunotoxicity, and linking physicochemical characterization to safety and efficacy. T...

Nanolayered drug-release systems for regenerative medicine and targeted nanotherapies
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Margaret Pittman Lecture
Alternating electrostatic assembly is a tool that makes it possible to create ultrathin film coatings that contain highly controlled quantities of one or more therapeutic molecules within a singular construct. These release systems greatly exceed the usual ranges of traditional degradable polymers. The nature of the layering process enables the incorporation of different drugs within different regions of the thin-film architecture; the result is an ability to uniquely tailor both the independent-release profiles and order-of-release of each therap...

Tailored drug release surfaces for regenerative medicine and targeted nanotherapies
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Margaret Pittman Lecture
Professor Paula T. Hammond is the David H. Koch Chair Professor of Engineering in the Chemical Engineering Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a member of MIT’s Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research. The core of her work is the use of electrostatics and other complementary interactions to generate functional polymer materials with highly controlled architecture. Her research in nanotechnology encompasses the development of new biomaterials to enable drug delivery from surfaces with spatio-temporal control. She al...

Bone regenerative engineering: a convergence approach
NIH Director’s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
The treatment of injuries to bone that necessitate bone regeneration continues to be a major challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. This burden is compounded by the constraints of supply and morbidity associated with autograft tissue, the gold standard of repair. The use of allografts, xenografts, or metal and ceramic implants overcomes many of the limitations associated with autografts but fails to provide a viable solution. Dr. Cato T. Laurencin has worked in the area of bone engineering with a focus on biomaterial selection, scaffold development, cell selection, cell/...

Trans-Agency Blood Brain Interface Workshop 2016 (Day 2)
The goal of the 2016 Trans-Agency Blood Brain Interface Workshop is to bring together experts to examine key challenges and proposed recommendations associated with the interface between the circulatory system and the brain. The workshop will cut across the interface and include sessions on upstream blood biomarkers as well as targeted drug delivery, highlighting the potential therapeutic role of exosomes for diagnostic applications as well as targeted drug delivery, and brain sequelae that release biomarkers into the circulation. A common theme that has emerged on both sides of the interface is the role of the immune syst...

The 4D Nucleome Project: Epigenome Amplification in Lymphocytes.
Immunology Interest Group
Dr. Rafael Casellas received his Ph.D. in Molecular Immunology from the Rockefeller University in 2002. There, he worked under Dr. Michel Nussenzweig to study the role of immunoglobulin gene expression and recombination in the establishment of B cell tolerance and peripheral activation. From 2002 to 2003 he did postdoctoral training with David Baltimore at the California Institute of Technology, where he continued his studies of B cell activation. In December 2003, Dr. Casellas moved to the Laboratory of Molecular Immunogenetics of NIAMS to create the Genomics & Immunity ...
