Environmental engineers aim for an early indicator of an outbreak
Despite intensive study of SARS and MERS, we still lack a fundamental understanding of coronavirus behavior in the environment. Most importantly, we do not know how coronavirus spreads and how long it remains infective when exposed to sunlight. The goal of this RAPID research project is to address ...This is an NSF Multimedia Gallery item. (Source: NSF Multimedia Gallery)

Clinical Trials in Public Health Emergencies: the Ebola and COVID Experiences
NIH COVID-19 SIG Lecture Series
Designing and implementing clinical trials for novel infectious disease treatments brings many challenges, especially during a rapidly evolving pandemic. A new disease brings uncertainties arising from an imperfect understanding about illness, limited information about proposed countermeasures, and complexities in measuring relevant patient outcomes. A pandemic adds an overloaded medical system with limited resources for research, heightened pressure to find cures quickly, and unpredictability about potential case numbers. I will discuss issues related to designing and conducting treatment t...

The Biomedical Research Response to COVID-19: A View from NIAID
NIH COVID-19 SIG Lecture Series
NIAID has a long-standing dual mandate to maintain a robust portfolio of research in its key focus areas and to respond to emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases (EIDs). With this mandate, NIAID has also sought to improve EID-response preparedness, working in partnership with other U.S. government research entities, industry, academia, and international public-health organizations. This preparedness planning helped the institute respond rapidly to COVID-19. NIAID tapped existing coronavirus expertise and other assets to stand up research programs spanning basic virology and immunology ...

CANCELLED - Demystifying Medicine - 1) The Challenge of Pandemic Preparedness 2) Current Status of Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases
Demystifying Medicine Lecture Series
Ebola, swine flu, drug-resistant tuberculosis, diarrheal diseases, and just about anything carried by mosquitoes … These are but a few of the infectious diseases that keep Drs. Fauci and Glass awake at night. Oh, and ticks, too. Threats are everywhere.
Every day, it seems, brings outbreaks and the potential for a pandemic. And yet, remarkably, scientists and healthcare providers on the frontlines manage to keep billions of people relatively safe. This Demystifying Medicine lecture by two of the biggest names in global health will provide a broad perspective on the myriad infectious d...

Informatics for Genomics-informed Surveillance of RNA Viruses
NLM Informatics and Data Science Lecture Series
Genomics-informed surveillance is now recognized as an important extension to the monitoring of rapidly evolving pathogens. Next generation sequencing has the ability to produce large amounts of data for tracking viruses of public health importance. Biomedical informatics approaches are able to facilitate the translation of these data into information for public health surveillance. Thus, epidemiologists can identify new outbreaks or monitor the course of a known epidemic by leveraging pathogen sequences (and corresponding metadata) generated from the clinical specimens of si...

The Mother (of all Pandemics) and Her Naughty Children: 100 Years of Behaving Badly
Writing in his diary on September 27, 1918, Charles Corning, former mayor of Concord, New Hampshire, described how flu was blazing through his corner of the world “ as fire shrivels the fields, laying out communities and taking a toll of death unprecedented. ” The next day, he observed, “ A heavy sense of anxiety and apprehension like a dismal cloud in midsummer weighs heavily upon us because of the deadly ravages of the so-called Spanish influenza. Funerals jostle one another so the sable procession goes on. ” That sable procession would eventually claim 167 lives in Concord and at least 50 million more around the...

High-Performance Integrated Virtual Environment (HIVE): A regulatory NGS data analysis platform
Abundance of miscellaneous high performance computational platforms available across academia, healthcare industry, and in government organizations isn't doing much to close the gap between research and regulatory analytics. Extra iterations for drug, device and biologics approval process are causing a significant cost increase for medical product development. High-Performance Integrated Virtual Environment (HIVE) co-developed by FDA and GW presents a great opportunity for serving as a bridge. It is authorized as a regulatory NGS data analysis platform and provides unique capability for healthcare stakeholders to look into...

NIH Research Festival: A Celebration of Intramural Science Plenary Session II: Responding to Public Health Emergencies
This plenary session will focus on the many ways that the NIH Intramural Research Program (IRP) has served a crucial role in various public health emergencies. From assessing radiation dangers after the Japanese tsunami and nuclear accident, to developing an Ebola vaccine and treating infected individuals, to tracing the origins of recent food-borne disease outbreaks through genomic analysis, the NIH IRP continues to be among the "first responders" to protect the nation's and the world's health.For more information go to http://researchfestival.nih.gov/2015/plenary_sessions.shtmlAir date: 9/17/2015 10:15:00 AM (Source: Videocast - All Events)
