DNA, also known as the ‘blue print’ of life, encodes the instructions for the development and function of the vast majority of organisms on our planet. Despite its importance, DNA is intrinsically unstable and is prone to breakage and chemical modifications. If left unrepaired DNA damage can giving rise to mutations, which alter the coding sequence. To counteract the deleterious effects of DNA damage, cells have evolved specialized DNA repair mechanisms. Insights into DNA repair processes and their control has firmly established the importance of DNA repair in ageing and cancer.
This talk will discuss the damage that can occur to DNA, and the processes which can be used to repair DNA following damage. Dr Boulton will discuss the links between DNA repair and ageing and cancer.

Skeletal muscles allow us to move, breathe, smile and look around. They are first made in the embryo in response to signals which tell naïve cells to be muscle rather than skin or bone. Peter Rigby, chief executive of the Institute for Cancer research, will explore how the stem cells which govern muscle growth and repair are made in the embryo, activated in adults and may even be able to be used to repair damaged muscles.

Professional antigen-presenting cells (APC) such as dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages play a critical role in the initiation and maintenance of a T cell-mediated immune response. APC are essential for T cell priming, differentiation and activation in lymphoid tissue and at sites of inflammation. Understanding the molecular mechanisms via which APC function can be controlled may give novel insights into how T cell mediated immunity may be induced or blocked. This meeting will highlight current research aimed at inducing dendritic cells with tolerogenic function in order to treat inflammatory disease (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis) as well as work aimed at boosting the immunostimulatory function of dendritic cells in the context of cancer. The meeting will also highlight recent progress on th...

Everyone is familiar with Darwin’s revolutionary idea about the survival of the fittest, and most people agree that it works – but Darwin’s famous theory has one major chink. If life is about survival of the fittest, then why would we risk our own life to jump into a river to save a stranger?
Some people argue that issues such as charity, fairness, forgiveness and cooperation are evolutionary loose ends, side issues that are of little consequence. But as Harvard’s celebrated evolutionary biologist Professor Martin Nowak explains – cooperation is central to the four-billion-year-old puzzle of life.
Cooperation is fundamental to how molecules in the primordial soup crossed the watershed that separates dead chemistry from biochemistry.
Cooperation is the key to u...

Bodily fluids, especially blood, contain a treasure of information about the functioning of whole body. Consequently, blood sampling and analysis are of prime interest for both clinical and biomedical research applications, and hold a central place in the diagnosis of many physiologic and pathologic conditions, localized or systemic. However, tapping into this wealth of information has been significantly limited with the lack of adequate technologies and the unspecific nature of the information generated from the current approaches. Among the new technologies with an increasingly broader impact in biology, microfluidics is extremely attractive for blood and other bodily fluid analysis. This presentation will focus on our recent efforts to bring microfluidics to clinical medicine in (i) can...

Abstract: Laboratory for Multiscale Regenerative Technologies studies how micro- and nanoscale systems can be deployed to understand, diagnose, and treat human disease. In this talk, Sangeeta Bhatia will describe their progress in two application areas: liver disease and cancer. In the area of hepatic tissue engineering, they are developing microtechnology tools to understand how ensembles of cells coordinate to produce tissues with emergent properties in the body. They have used this understanding to fabricate human microliver tissues in both ‘2D’ and ‘3D’ formats that enable them to study the pathogenesis of human drug-drug interaction, drug-induced liver disease, and viral infection. In the area of cancer, they are developing nanotechnology tools to meet the chal...

Part of the NIH Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series (WALS).
Lecture Summary: The explosion of technologies that allow us to measure many thousands of data points simultaneously has created new research tools and has been very much at the heart of the new systems biology. These technologies have had a huge impact in discovery and offer great promise in the potential of next generation diagnostics, biomarkers and drug discovery and personalized medicine. despite the promise, the translation of these technologies into clinically useful tools has been disappointingly slow. This gap between research tools and clinical tools is the basis for my talk and I will explore one example of how the gap has been breached in oncology molecular diagnostics and explore the lessons therein.

GlaxoSmithKline Prize Lecture (open to the public)
Our DNA, the ‘stuff of life’, is a fragile molecule that is continually under assault from agents in the environment, our diet, and even from normal processes that take place within the cell. It is therefore critically important that damage to our genetic material is recognised and efficiently removed or repaired. If not, the consequences can be disastrous, leading to cancers and other diseases. All organisms therefore devote a significant portion of their genome towards the protection and maintenance of DNA integrity.
Dr Stephen West will discuss recent advances in our understanding of DNA repair, with particular emphasis on processes that promote the rejoining of DNA strand breaks.

Exploring the regulatory dark matter of the mind – Psychiatric disease insight from microRNA
Dr Michael R. Barnes, GlaxoSmithKline Medicines Research Centre, Hertfordshire, UK
There is evidence that many brain specific miRNA have arisen recently in the evolutionary history of humans – making them potential candidates for psychiatric disorders. Using computational target prediction methods we have evaluated brain expressed miRNA/mRNA regulatory interactions on a pathway level, identifying psychiatry relevant pathways that may be actively evolving under the influence of miRNA regulation. We propose that the rapid and dynamic evolution of miRNA may have been a key step in the development of h...

Personalized medicine today has made incredible strides towards realizing how a test coupled to a therapy can work, clinically. This summit will focus on the implementation of personalized medicine from multiple dimensions. Going forward, drug discovery, development, commercialization, clinical research, regulatory pathways, health informatics, and reimbursement will evolve, in part, based on personalized medicine breakthroughs. But there is little clarity around how personalized medicine will be implemented throughout the healthcare ecosystem. Although much of the attention around personalized medicine has been devoted to oncology, this summit will generate discussion to infer how lessons learned in oncology can be applied to other chronic illnesses.

NCRM (NIH Center for Regenerative Medicine) Lecture
Thomas Graf became interested in the effects of genes on differentiation early on in his career. Originally a virologist, he co-discovered several avian acute leukemia oncogenes (myc, myb and erb) and developed in vitro cell transformation systems that exhibited the same lineage specificity as in the animal. He showed that a differentiation block is an essential feature of leukemogenesis and that at least two oncogenes need to cooperate to cause acute leukemia. Using a surrogate adult stem cell system, which he developed with leukemic avian cells, he was able to reprogram committed erythroid and myeloid cells first with signal transducing agents and later with lineage specific transcription factors. This led to the discovery of the GATA...

Extraordinary opportunities to study the molecular mechanisms that cause inherited diseases are being provided by new methods of producing stem cells. These techniques make it possible to produce from a patient cells that are equivalent to those early in their life. In principle many inherited diseases may be studied in this way including Motor Neuron Disease, schizophrenia, some forms of cancer and causes of sudden heart failure. In addition, human cells in the laboratory may provide important new approaches to the safety testing of new drugs. This has the potential to greatly increase the efficiency of drug development and reduce the costs involved. The lecture will illustrate not only the potential value of these new methods, but also the manner in which their development was prompted b...
