NIH Director's Seminar Series: A small RNA perspective on genome integrity
Small non-coding RNAs play crucial roles in development and disease by regulating gene expression, defending against viruses, and controlling mobile genetic elements (transposons). Our research focuses on PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) that silence transposons to safeguard the integrity of germline genomes. PIWI-piRNA complexes act as RNA-guided defense and are essential for germ cell health and fertility. To better understand the molecular mechanisms of this RNA-based immune system, we employ an integrated approach that combines genetics, biochemistry, and next-generation sequencing. Results from our studies elucidate fun...

NHLBI Reproductive Health in Women and Girls with SCD: Gaps to Solutions (Day 2)
Sickle cell disease (SCD) complicates reproductive health for affected individuals. Girls and women with SCD confront challenges associated with menstruation, contraception, infertility risks, and high-risk pregnancy. This workshop assumes a lifespan approach to reproductive health in people with ovaries and sickle cell disease and engages questions related to pathophysiology, clinical care, and structural disparities that need to be addressed to fulfill the promise of high quality, individualized, comprehensive care for girls and women with SCD.
During the workshop ’ s first day, the major themes will be ovarian reser...

Demystifying Medicine: Endocrine Disrupters and Fertility
Jointly sponsored by FAES and NIH, the Demystifying Medicine course aims to bridge exciting developments in medicine with advances in the basic biological and engineering sciences. When possible, a live patient introduces the course topic by discussing their disease, followed by a physician scientist who describes clinical aspects of the disease including therapy and challenges, followed by bench scientist who describes what we know and don't know regarding mechanism. The course is designed to excite as well as inform medical and Ph.D. students, fellows, basic and physician scientists, and program planners.For more informa...

Director's Seminar - Asthma and Pregnancy: Adverse outcomes and susceptibility to air pollution
NIH Director's Seminar Series
Dr. Mendola is a reproductive epidemiologist with a long-standing interest in environmental influences on reproductive health. She came to NICHD in 2011 after serving as a researcher and branch chief at the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Center for Health Statistics. Dr. Mendola ’ s research is designed to answer clinically relevant questions related to poor pregnancy outcomes for women with chronic disease, with a particular focus on maternal asthma and ambient air pollution exposure. She built on her past work on air pollution and pregnancy outcomes, developing an intramu...

DeBakey Lecture: The Making of Iraqi Doctors: Reproduction in Medical Education in Modern Iraq, 1869-1959
4th Annual DeBakey Lecture
The techniques and pedagogies of medical education in the fields of surgery underscore the universality of the medical profession and the internationalization of its pedagogies. This presentation looks into the field of surgery in the medical schools of Baghdad and Beirut as comparative transnati onal microcosms for the study of the development of pedagogical approaches of surgical education. Pointedly, this presentation focuses on Dr. Michael Elias Debakey ’ s centrality in this internationalization processes. In the aftermath of World War Two, Debakey was vernacularized in surgical canon. Me...
