The RECOVERY Trial: Science in a Crisis
The speaker returned to Oxford in 2014 and established the Epidemic disease Research Group Oxford (ERGO). ERGO is engaged in an international program of clinical and epidemiological research to prepare for and respond to emerging infections that may develop into epidemics or pandemics. ERGO is involved in a number of international projects including the European Commission funded PREPARE project, and ISARIC (International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium). The group is conducting research on a range of epidemic diseases including Ebola virus disease, bird flu (H5N1 and H7N9), MERS-CoV, and Enterov...

Genetic Studies Illuminating Pathways Important for Controlling COVID Disease
We are interested in new inherited defects of innate immunity that can cause increased susceptibility to virus infections, especially those targeting the respiratory tract. One example is our discovery of human MDA5 deficiency in a patient who had recurrent severe rhinovirus and other respiratory viruses. The patient ’ s loss of MDA5 demonstrated the physiological importance of this cytosolic viral nucleic acid sensor for immunity against the common cold virus. The extent to which MDA5 physiologically contributes in humans to protect against other respiratory viruses is being studied. For more information about this rese...

2020 NIH Rural Health Seminar
Today, approximately 20% of the U.S. population — about 60 million people — live in rural areas, which make up 97% of the land area in the United States. People living in rural America have less access to health care and are more likely than residents of urban areas to die from chronic conditions such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, and chronic lower respiratory disease. Moreover, long-standing systemic health and social inequities have put many rural residents at increased risk of getting COVID-19. The rural/urban inequities in health and health care warrant more rigorous and innovative scientific research to improv...

Coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, & Glycans
This workshop will focus on the roles of glycans in Coronavirus (CoV) infection, with emphasis on the Spike-glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2, its host receptor(s) and it will introduce new research tools that can facilitate these studies and accelerate the development of therapeutics, vaccines and diagnostics.
Coronavirus ( α − , β − , γ − , and δ -CoVs) are single stranded RNA viruses that can infect the lung, gastrointestinal, and central nervous system of mammals ( α -, β -) and birds ( γ -, δ -). While both α and β -CoV strains can cause mild infections in humans, three β -CoV strains (SARS-CoV in 2003; MERS...

Rapid COVID-19 Vaccine Development: An Example of the Prototype Pathogen Approach for Pandemic Preparedness
NIH COVID-19 SIG Lecture Series
The prototype pathogen approach for pandemic preparedness has been applied to the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS CoV) over the last seven years. It was informed by structure-based immunogen-design concepts established for respiratory syncytial virus fusion (RSV F) subunit vacc ines, and focused on solving coronavirus spike structures, defining mechanisms of CoV neutralization, and evaluating MERS CoV vaccine candidates in collaboration with a commercial mRNA manufacturer. Prior spike protein engineering experience resulted in rapid sequence selection and using the mRNA m...

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...

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...

Mitochondrial Behavior
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
The research in the Nunnari laboratory is devoted to understanding how the behavior of mitochondria is controlled in cells. Specifically, we are focused on two fundamental problems. The first is how the structure of mitochondria is established and maintained within cells. We are currently elucidating the molecular mechanisms that underlie mitochondrial division and fusion. Our second area of interest is on understanding how the mitochondrial genome is organized and faithfully segregated within the organelle. The inheritance of mitochondria and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is i...
