CGIBD Research Seminar - “ Gut microbiota dysbiosis in infection and IBD: from iron to new therapies ” by Andre G. Buret, PhD
2019-01-31 16:30 - 17:30 (America/New_York) | Marsico Hall 2004
“ Gut microbiota dysbiosis in infection and IBD: from iron to new therapies ”
Andre G. Buret, PhD
Professor
Departments of Biologicals Sciences, Physiology and Pharmacology
Associate Vice-President Research
University of Calgary
Dr. Buret’s research: Similar inflammatory, immunologic, and pathophysiologic events characterize disease processes at mucosal sites such as the intestine and the lung. Critical issues to this research area include understanding the role of immune cells and mediators, and the role of cell death, in the production of disease. The overall aim of my research is to define cell-cell interactions in these systems, and how such interactions may affect gastrointestinal and pulmonary physiology, responsiveness, and inflammation, in an attempt to develop novel therapeutic strategies.

CGIBD Research Seminar - “Overcoming an immunological backlash from modern sanitation practices: The return of the intestinal worm ” by William Parker, PhD
2019-01-10 16:30 - 17:30
“Overcoming an immunological backlash from modern sanitation practices: The return of the intestinal worm ”
William Parker, PhD
Associate Professor in Surgery
Duke University Medical Center
Dr. Parker has studied biochemistry and immunology at Duke University since 1993. He is best known for the discovery of the function of the human vermiform appendix (a safe-house for bacteria), Dr. Parker has spent the last 15 years looking at fundamental cultural causes of inflammation in Western societies. His work on “biota alteration”, a concept which evolved from the “hygiene hypothesis”, has led to the discovery that intestinal worms, called helminths, are very supportive of healthy neuropsychiatric function in adults and in children.

“Characterizing the colonic and ileal mucosal bacterial community in Crohn’s disease ”
Terry Furey, PhD
Associate Professor
Department of Genetics and the Department of Biology
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
The Furey lab is interested in understanding IBD heterogeneity at the molecular and microbial levels. We use high throughput sequencing-based genomic assays to measure gene expression, chromatin accessibility, and microbial composition in tissue samples from well-phenotyped Crohn’s disease and non-IBD patients. With these, we aim to link unique molecular signatures with clinical variables to both uncover CD subtypes associated with disease phenotypes as well as begin elucidating potential cellular mechanisms driving disease.

Dr. Rieder’s focus is in the field of pathogenesis and prediction and trial endpoints of intestinal fibrosis. He has experience with primary human cell isolation and culture systems (endothelial cells, mesenchymal cells, immune cells, epithelial cells, preadipocytes/adipocytes) as well as animal models of intestinal fibrosis, including TNBS- and DSS-induced fibrosis. Dr. Rieder has designed and pursued prospective studies of diagnostic testing, cohort studies for biomarkers of complicated inflammatory bowel disease and retrospective chart review studies in the area of IBD. His life-time vision is to impact the field of intestinal fibrogenesis through by delivering a novel anti-fibrotic approach into a clinical setting.

For the past 20 years we have focused primarily on immunity to the hepatitis C virus. More recently, we have studied immunity to the hepatitis E virus to better understand how it establishes persistence in humans with compromised immunity. To define protective immune responses, we have developed rhesus macaque models of acute and persistent HEV infection. Through these studies, Dr. Feng and I established a close working relationship to define the role of T cells and neutralizing antibodies in prevention of HEV persistence.
