Michael E. DeBakey Lecture in the History of Medicine - Transplanting Technology: Dr. Michael DeBakey and Cold War Technology Transfer
2nd Annual Michael E. DeBakey Lecture in the History of Medicine
At the height of the Cold War, Dr. Michael E. DeBakey, one of the most prolific American surgeons of the 20th century, made several trips to China and the USSR to survey the medical landscape on the other side of the Iron Curtain. DeBakey became a broker of valuable medical information, teaching new techniques and introducing new machines in the USSR and China, while reporting on the conditions of Chinese and Soviet medical institutions back home to the American public. His diplomatic success was possible in part because of his willingness to take less high-t...

Translational traps: sex and aging in stroke research stroke research
NIH Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Dr. McCullough ’ s research interests primarily focus on: 1) understanding sex differences in ischemic cell death 2) age related inflammation and 3) social factors in stroke recovery.
Basic molecular and animal studies in males and females have direct translational relevance, as treatments have revealed the efficacy in one sex has paradoxically shown a detrimental effect in the other sex. This is now increasingly recognized in clinical stroke populations.
Another important area of Dr. McCullough ’ s research is understanding the genetic and hormonal differences in inflammation acr...

Production, characterization, and application of stem cell-derived photoreceptors
NEI AGI Seminar in Neuroregenerative Medicine
3-D organoids are the next big thing in disease modeling, drug screening, and tissue sourcing for transplantation. These miniature organs can be grown from patient-derived stem cells, providing a theoretically unlimited supply.
David Gamm, M.D., Ph.D., will summarize efforts to develop retinal organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue in the back of the eye that sends visual signals to the brain. The most common blinding conditions in the U.S. affect the retina, including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy,...

Using human stem cells to understand and treat diabetes
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
We study how the pancreas normally develops and use that information to grow and develop pancreatic cells (Islets of Langerhans). Our laboratory focuses on the directed differentiation of stem cells to create functional pancreatic beta cells that can be used for research on the cause(s) of diabetes as well as exploring the use of stem cell-derived islets for transplantation.For more information go tohttps://oir.nih.gov/walsAir date: 12/15/2016 3:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)
