Opiates on the brain
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series Dr. Kieffer is a basic scientist and neurobiologist. She isolated the first gene encoding an opioid receptor, a landmark in neuroscience research to understanding molecular bases of opioid transmission and opioid-mediated mechanisms underlying pain control, mood disorders and addiction. Her team elucidated the role of each opioid receptor in both known and unknown areas of opioid physiology and behaviors using gene knockout in mice. She showed that mu receptors mediate both analgesic and addictive actions of morphine, and are responsible for drug and social reward. Her team...

The Opioid Crisis and the Future of Addiction and Pain Therapeutics: Opportunities, Tools, and Technologies Symposium (Day 2)
The Opioid Crisis and the Future of Addiction and Pain Therapeutics: Opportunities, Tools, and Technologies Symposium will highlight challenges and opportunities in the pre-competitive, preclinical stage of development for addiction- and pain-related medications and provide a framework for more focused efforts within the research community. There has been a dramatic increase in individuals who misuse and subsequently become addicted to opiates. The current " opioid crisis " is now a public health burden resulting in deaths, debilitation and significant social and economic impact. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) HEA...

Translational studies in patients with Autoinflammatory Diseases...from bedside to bench and back
Director's Seminar Series Dr. Goldbach-Mansky will present the work of her Laboratory of Clinical Immunology and Microbiology. Autoinflammatory diseases are a group of rare immune dysregulatory syndromes that present with unexplained fevers, rashes, joint pain, and inflammation in multiple organs, such as the central nervous system, the eyes, inner ears, bones, fat, blood vessels, lungs, and muscles. Many of the disease symptoms present very early in life, and patients do not have infections or malignacies. The discovery of single gene mutations, which modify the regulation of inflammatory pathways that are triggered by ex...
