Preventing the world's most prevalent disease: caries

Sat, 19 Mar 2016 13:14:39 GMT

Dr. Richard Niederman is professor and chair, Department of Epidemiology & Health Promotion at New York University College of Dentistry, and Co-Director of the World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Quality-improvement, Evidence-based Dentistry (QED). He graduated magna cum laude in 1976 from the Harvard School of Dental Medicine where he also received his periodontal specialty training. He received certificate training in Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford University in 1996. He is the founding USA editor of the journal Evidence-Based Dentistry; co-author of the book Evidence-based Dentistry, and author of more than 100 peer reviewed scientific articles.

His current work focuses on improving oral health equity by disseminating and implementing community-based and evidence-based caries prevention programs. These bring primary and secondary preventive care to people, rather than people to care. NIH, PCORI, and foundations support his work in urban New York and Boston, as well as rural Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.

Data from these programs indicate that effective caries prevention programs:
(1) Vary directly with intensity and frequency
(2) Can be effectively delivered by non-dentists
(3) Can reduce untreated cavities by 80%
(4) Inadequate preventive intensity or frequency has little to no impact on oral health.

Investigation of a propagated MDRO cluster

Sat, 19 Mar 2016 13:14:39 GMT

Dr. Sifri's research group is focused on exploring the molecular epidemiology and clinical consequences of transmission of multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs) in the hospital environment and novel interventions to interrupt their transmission. With particular interest in the contribution of horizontal gene transfer to the spread of resistance. They have developed and validated phenotypic screening methods to detect drug resistant pathogens in patients and the environment, assessed efficacy and costs of screening programs, evaluated the long-term outcomes of colonization with MDROs, and evaluated the impact of infection prevention methods to limit their transmission. The team's work is focused on a class of MDROs called carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and the genetic determinant of CRE resistance, the carbapenemase gene blaKPC. Using a combination of traditional epidemiological investigation and novel molecular tools, they have determined that spread of CRE in the hospital environment has been driven through extensive horizontal interspecies transfer of blaKPC via multiple mobile genetic elements, including integrons, transposons, and broad host-range plasmids. His group is also interested in the risk factors, clinical consequences, and transmission prevention measures of other healthcare-associated bacterial and viral pathogens, including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin resistant Enterococcus, influenza virus, and hepatitis B virus, as well as the risk factors for and consequences of infectious diseases in immunocompromised individuals.

Prefrontal Contributions to Visual Attention

Sat, 19 Mar 2016 13:14:39 GMT

Dr. Behrad Noudoost received his MD in 2002 from Isfahan University in Iran and then received his PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences in Tehran, Iran. During his PhD, he studied the neural basis of object recognition. He then conducted his postdoctoral research on neural mechanisms of top-down control of cognitive functions at Stanford University. In 2013, Dr. Noudoost joined the Department of Cell Biology and Neuroscience at Montana State University as an Assistant Professor. In 2017, he joins the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at the University of Utah as an Associate Professor. His research aims at understanding the neural mechanisms and neuropharmacological basis of cognitive functions such as attention and working memory. Several funding agencies including the NIH, NSF and Whitehall Foundation support the research in his lab.

Visual attention is an integral part of our daily life. A complex network of cortical and subcortical structures are involved in control of visual attention. To date, how these areas interact with each other and the chain of events giving rise to visual attention are still unclear. Dr. Noudoost will present the experimental findings regarding the neurons and neuromodulators involved in attention and will discuss how these findings help us untangle the neural circuitry of attention.

One hour proteomes and deep sequencing

Sat, 19 Mar 2016 13:14:39 GMT

Joshua J. Coon, PhD is a Professor of Chemistry and Biomolecular Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Dr. Coon’s program specializes in the development and application of novel chemical instrumentation and molecular analysis methodology. His research can be broadly classified in four areas: Instrumentation and Informatics, Proteomic Methodology, Biomedical Applications, and Metabolomics. The research team currently consists of 15 Ph.D. students, three postdoctoral students, and four staff scientists. Even beyond the impact of its science, the most important product of the team's research is a rapidly growing cohort of alumni (15 Ph.D. and three postdoctoral) who are now engaged in the biomedical enterprise in various academic and industrial settings. The team considers itself fortunate to have outstanding resources at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, including over 6,000 square feet of modern research space and oversight of nearly a dozen mass spectrometer systems – all of which are operated nearly 24/7. The research, which is detailed below, is highly collaborative – since 2014 the team has published over 30 manuscripts with as many different Principal Investigators. In their 10 year history the researchers have written nearly 100 collaborative manuscripts with 60 distinct Principal Investigators from all across the country. These works, along with non-collaborative writings (~ 50), have had broad and sustained impact, as evidenced by citations (> 10,000 over the past decade) and widespread use/adoption.
