Sjӧgren's syndrome (SS), the second most common rheumatic disease contributing nine times the cost of a healthy person, has hallmark features of oral and ocular dryness due to salivary and lacrimal gland inflammation. Minor salivary glands, central to the pathogenesis and diagnosis of SS, contain mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). In other conditions MSCs are responsible for tissue repair and

The Foundations of Biomedical Data Science virtual seminar series is an exciting and topical set of regularly scheduled, weekly, webinar presentations covering the basics of data management, representation, computation, statistical inference, data modeling, & other topics relevant to “big data” biomedicine. The seminar series provides fundamental topic introductions suitable for individuals at all

Dr. Petzinger's work focuses on understanding how to promote brain repair after injury, particularly in the context of Parkinson's disease. The focus of this talk will be to review mechanisms of exercise induced neuroplasticity in a rodent model of Parkinson's disease and to examine exercise effects on cognition and motor performance in Parkinson's disease. Speaker Bio: Dr. Giselle Petzinger is an

Researchers planning COVID-19 trials with the Trial Innovation Network (TIN) can leverage the N3C to inform their research hypotheses. N3C focuses on aligning its infrastructure so that it can generate efficient and minimally biased results. Part of that infrastructure includes the curation of value sets and phenotype variables relevant to COVID-19, such as ventilator support, ICU use, and

This webinar presents scholarly research conducted by the Tufts Center for the Study of Drug Development, Tufts University School of Medicine examining trends in protocol design practice and their impact on clinical trial performance and quality. In particular, the webinar will explore innovative approaches being used to leverage patient and study volunteer input and experience to modify protocol

The development of health and biological response to treatment varies by age, yet many studies still fail to incorporate the dimension of time into their research. In January 2019 the National Institutes of Health adopted the Inclusion across the Lifespan Policy mandating that “individuals of all ages, including children and older adults, must be included in all human subjects research (45 CFR 46)

Join Stanford Medicine Office of Community Engagement for the 6th Virtual Town Hall on the COVID-19 outbreak, focusing on Vaccine Clinical Trials. Topics will include: How do vaccine clinical trials work? What do we know about the current vaccine trials underway in the United States? How do we know if it’s safe to participate in a trial? Who can/should participate in vaccine trials? Perspectives

Implementing your research project within an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system is an exciting but complex endeavor that requires specialized tools and approaches. This talk will unpack what dedicated teams of informaticians have pioneered over the past decade. It will help the researcher understand a path forward for their research protocols. The talk addresses key differences between

The NIA staff will discuss some of the limitations with inclusion of diverse populations observed in clinical research and trials, the role federal science policy is playing in remedying the limitations and promoting more broad and consistent inclusion of communities of color in developing new strategies implemented to enhance inclusion among older persons of color. The NIA team will provide an
