Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RAC) December 2008 - Day 2

The RAC is a technical committee whose goal is to consider the current state of knowledge and technology regarding recombinant DNA. This includes review of human gene transfer trials, and an assessment of the ability of DNA recombinants to survive in nature and the potential for transfer of genetic material to other organisms. It also considers hypothetical hazards and methods for monitoring and minimizing risks. Approximately one-third of the 15 members do not have scientific expertise but represent public interests and attitudes. This balance is intended to provide a forum for open public debate of social and scientific issues attendant to recombinant DNA research. The RAC has been overwhelmingly successful in achieving this goal.

Quantitative Proteomics Analysis of Aberrant Molecular Events in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains a highly lethal malignancy with limited therapeutic options. Full transformation in AML requires coupling of aberrant molecular events associated with multiple cellular processes. For example, mutation of the FLT-3 receptor tyrosine kinase is frequently observed in AML and drives abnormal proliferation. Signaling from oncogenic FLT-3 phosphorylates the transcription factor C/EBPα and leads to disrupted myeloid differentiation. We are using iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics approaches to explore divergent signaling downstream of two common FLT-3 mutants, and to monitor remodeling of C/EBPα protein complexes between transcriptionally competent and repressed states. Representative proteomics data and biochemical results will be described, in addition to and methodological improvements in proteomics-related technologies.

Healthy Strategies for Surviving the Holidays

NIH Work Life Seminar

Did you know the average holiday meal has a whopping 4500 calories! Part III in our continuing series is the timely topic of "Healthy Strategies for Surviving the Holidays". This informative presentation will provide essential tips for navigating this lively party season with enthusiasm. A Fun Fact: The average adult gains 8-10 pounds during the holiday season. Menus are “stuffed” with pastries, pies and desserts. Learn the approach that nutritionists use to enjoy themselves during the festivities without putting on excess weight. Find creative ways to enjoy a cocktail party loaded with appetizers or pickup a few healthy cooking tips for your table!
