| | | | NCATS' Division of Pre-Clinical Innovation seeks applications from qualified candidates-with experience in physiology and pathology of the nervous system to fill postdoctoral neuroscience positions in the Division's 3-D Bioprinting Group in Rockville, Maryland. The selected candidates will help establish a portfolio of functional, neuronal 3-D tissue models as human-based, tissue-in-a-well screening platforms for the development of therapeutics for pain, addiction or overdose. Ideal candidates must have expertise in neuroscience, electrophysiology techniques, in vitro neuronal models, and neuronal stem cells. Experience using the techniques necessary to develop cell-based functional central nervous system and peripheral nervous system assays for drug testing using tissues-including extracellular recording (field potential or multi-unit), electrophysiology analysis, calcium imaging, and neural stem cell and primary cell culture-is required. Experience in the physiology and pathology of pain, addiction or overdose also is required. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | Using a community-engaged approach, researchers assess and adapt a phone- and web-based program designed to prevent or reduce depression in African American people with epilepsy. Each year the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) showcases research projects in brief videos that focus on health equity. In 2018, seven CDC Prevention Research Centers, that are members of AAMC, developed videos to demonstrate how research can contribute to narrowing gaps in health and health care. The seven videos describe innovative, community-partnered research projects that explore how people and their communities can avoid or counter risks for chronic illnesses. | | | | Read More | | |

| | | | There are so many important questions being asked about health data: What are the roadblocks to patient access to health data? What are the legal protections for patients and their health information? What are patients currently doing with health data, and what do they want to be doing? How can access to health data be the first step in engagement and empowerment in the biomedical R&D system? Leaders from the National Partnership for Women & Families, Omada Health, and FasterCures will address these and other questions that are critical to unlocking the potential of the health information that exists around us. | | | | Read More | | |
