SUMMARY:COVID-19 and Influenza & 1918 Influenza and COVID-19: A Tale of Two Pandemics
DESCRIPTION:A virtual presentation on “COVID-19 and Influenza & 1918 Influenza and COVID-19: A Tale of Two Pandemics” will be held on Jan 12\, 2021 as part of the 2021 Demystifying Medicine Series. \nThe 2021 Demystifying Medicine Series\, which is jointly sponsored by FAES and NIH\, will begin January 12 and includes the presentation of patients\, pathology\, diagnosis and therapy in the context of major disease problems and current research. Primarily directed toward Ph.D. students\, clinicians and program managers\, the course is designed to help bridge the gap between advances in biology and their application to major human diseases. Each session includes clinical and basic science components presented by NIH staff and invitees. All students\, fellows and staff are welcome\, as well. \nThe speakers for this virtual seminar are: \n\nAnthony Fauci\, MD (NIAID)\nJeffrey Taubenberger\, MD\, PhD (NIAID)\n\nPlease visit the NIH Demystifying Medicine website for more information.

SUMMARY:The Continued Threat of Infectious Diseases to the U.S. Military
DESCRIPTION:Join the Homeland Defense & Security Information Analysis Center (HDIAC) for a webinar presentation on “The Continued Threat of Infectious Diseases to the U.S. Military” on Friday\, January 15\, from 1200 to 1300 EST. \nDuring deployment\, servicemembers are often at risk from infectious diseases which have the potential to impede the individual and the unit mission and cause significant morbidity and mortality. Diseases such as malaria\, dengue\, diarrheal diseases\, and many others threaten the force and require medical countermeasures to eliminate or mitigate the risk. \nDr. Stephen Thomas will explore the historical beginnings of global infectious disease threats\, review the epidemiology\, clinical presentation\, and current status of therapeutic and preventive measures for common threats. Additionally\, U.S. military contributions to countermeasure development will be discussed. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nDr. Stephen Thomas\, (Colonel\, US Army (Retired))\, has nearly 30 years of experience in infectious disease research. He is currently the Chief of the Division of Infectious Disease at SUNY Upstate Medical University\, a professor in both the Department of Microbiology and Immunology and the Department of Medicine\, and is an Infectious Diseases Consultant for the Syracuse Veterans Army Medical Center. Prior to his work in Syracuse\, Dr. (COL) Thomas was the Deputy Commander\, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) and WRAIR Chief of Virology\, an Infectious Disease Consultant to the Surgeon General in US Army Medical Command\, and the Director of Dengue Vaccine Development for the Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences in Bangkok. Dr. Thomas has authored numerous publications\, most recently focusing on Zika and Dengue. He is a member of the Infectious Disease Society of America\, the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene\, and the American College of Physicians. He received his BA from Brown University and his MD from Albany Medical College. \nPlease register in advance for the webinar at: https://www.anymeeting.com/PIID=EF59DA85844938

SUMMARY:Immunological and Genetic Features of COVID-19 and Rapid Vaccine Development
DESCRIPTION:A virtual presentation on “Immunological and Genetic Features of COVID-19 and Rapid Vaccine Development” will be held on January 19\, 2021 as part of the 2021 Demystifying Medicine Series. \nThe 2021 Demystifying Medicine Series\, which is jointly sponsored by FAES and NIH\, will begin January 12 and includes the presentation of patients\, pathology\, diagnosis and therapy in the context of major disease problems and current research. Primarily directed toward Ph.D. students\, clinicians and program managers\, the course is designed to help bridge the gap between advances in biology and their application to major human diseases. Each session includes clinical and basic science components presented by NIH staff and invitees. All students\, fellows and staff are welcome\, as well. \nAbout the Speakers: \nLuigi Daniele Notarangelo\, M.D. is Senior Investigator\, Immune Deficiency Genetics Section\, NIAID/DIR. The main goal of the Immune Deficiency Genetics Section (IDGS) is to characterize the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying primary immune deficiencies\, and combined immunodeficiencies (CID) in particular\, with the ultimate objective of improving diagnosis and treatment of these conditions. Luigi D. Notarangelo received his M.D. from the University of Pavia\, Italy. After completing training in pediatrics\, subspecialty training in allergy/immunology\, and human genetics at the University of Pavia and a postdoctoral internship with David Nelson\, M.D.\, at the Metabolism Branch\, National Cancer Institute\, he was appointed associate professor and subsequently full professor of pediatrics at the University of Brescia\, Italy\, where he chaired the department of pediatrics between 2000 and 2006. In November 2006\, he joined the division of immunology at Boston Children’s Hospital\, Harvard Medical School\, as professor of pediatrics. In October 2016\, he joined the Laboratory of Host Defenses. Dr. Notarangelo is a leader in the study of the molecular and cellular mechanisms of human primary immune deficiencies and in the treatment of these disorders. He has served as president of the European Society for Immune Deficiencies and of the Clinical Immunology Society. He has received numerous national and international awards. \nBarney S. Graham\, M.D.\, Ph.D. is Senior Investigator\, Viral Pathogenesis Laboratory and Translational Science Core\, NIAID Vaccine Research Center (VRC). Dr. Graham serves as Deputy Director of the NIAID Vaccine Research Center and assists the Director in establishing and focusing the scientific direction for the VRC as a premier intramural research organization. As Chief of the Viral Pathogenesis Laboratory\, Dr. Graham also leads the development efforts for COVID-19 vaccines and universal influenza vaccines. In addition\, he supports VRC product development through strategic advice on vaccine design as well as pre-clinical and clinical evaluation. Dr. Graham is an immunologist\, virologist\, and clinical trials physician whose primary interests are viral pathogenesis\, immunity\, and vaccine development. His laboratory is focused on respiratory viral pathogens\, pandemic preparedness\, and emerging viral diseases. He applies structural biology\, protein engineering\, and other new technologies to create vaccines for unmet needs and emerging threats advancing the principles of precision vaccinology. He has been involved in the clinical evaluation of candidate vaccines for more than 30 years and has an ongoing interest in science education and expanding research opportunities for underrepresented minorities. \nPlease visit the NIH Demystifying Medicine website for more information.
