NIH Director's Seminar Series: Harnessing Mechanistic Insights into microRNA Function for Cancer Therapy
As a class of small non-coding RNAs, microRNAs (miRNAs) function as master gene regulators. My laboratory studies how miRNAs themselves are regulated and their applications in cancer treatment. Despite the success of using miRNAs including their isoforms (isomiRs) as disease biomarkers, development of miRNA-based cancer treatments was somewhat lagging behind mainly due to the difficulty in identifying tumor-driver miRNA variations. In this talk, I will discuss our endeavor in addressing this challenge by investigating the mechanisms of miRNA biogenesis and function. I will demonstrate how the addition of sequences at their...

NIH Director's Seminar Series: Novel measures of fetal growth and development: state of the art tools to assess fetal health
Healthy fetal growth is essential for newborn well-being, pediatric development, and subsequent adult health consistent with the developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis. Both fetal undergrowth and overgrowth portend adverse outcomes and require clinical intervention. Fetal growth is often assessed by ultrasonographic measurement of two-dimensional (2D) fetal biometrics to calculate an estimated fetal weight (EFW) that is then compared against a standard. However, EFW is a poor measure of actual growth. Recently, more sophisticated measures have been developed including three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound that ...

State of the Science of Pediatric Palliative Care Conference
It is estimated that in the United States 74,000 children are living with serious illness. Palliative care is an interdisciplinary approach of specialized medical care for those living with serious illness. This care focuses on providing relief from the symptoms and stress of serious illness for the patient, their family, and their community. This conference will provide a deep understanding of the state of the science of pediatric palliative care. Speakers will share a summary of current research and a careful analysis of the gaps and opportunities for research in maternal, perinatal, infant, child and adolescent patients...
