SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds- Dr. Samantha Meltzer-Brody presents: "Developing Precision Medicine Approaches in Psychiatry-- Research Innovation to Improve Treatment of Perinatal Depression"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Samantha Meltzer-Brody\, MD\, MPH is the Assad Meymandi Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  She also directs the UNC Center for Women’s Mood Disorders. As Chair\, Dr. Meltzer-Brody directs one of the largest public university departments of psychiatry in the United States and collaborates with UNC Health and the state of North Carolina on broad-based initiatives to improve mental health. \nShe is a passionate advocate for innovation and transformation of mental health care. She has also served in leadership roles in physician and health care worker mental health and well-being in the School of Medicine and UNC Health.  Dr. Meltzer-Brody is an internationally recognized physician-scientist in perinatal depression. Her research investigates the epidemiologic and biological predictors of perinatal depression and innovative treatment approaches (pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic)\,  which have taken her across the globe including sub-Saharan Africa.  She had led the MOMS GENES study—the largest global genetic study of postpartum depression (PPD) using app-based tools. She also served as the academic PI for the novel psychopharmacologic clinical trials developing the first FDA-approved medication for postpartum depression (brexanolone) and also served an investigator for the newly approved oral drug (zuranolone) for PPD. \nDr. Meltzer-Brody has received numerous awards for her work.  She was awarded the 2023 NIH Clinical Center Distinguished Clinical Research Scholar and Educator in Residence\, and the 2020 UNC O Max Gardner Award\, a UNC System Award (17 universities) for the highest faculty honor.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds: Dr. Alex Duncan presents: “The Clap is back: Challenges and Progress towards a Gonorrhea Vaccine that is Needed Now More Than Ever.”
DESCRIPTION:My lab focuses on studies of the molecular mechanisms by which pathogens interaction with host immune responses influence infection pathogenesis. Our lab began with studies of the activation of the family of innate immune signaling proteins known as NOD-like receptors (NLRs) by bacterial pathogens. Our lab has focused on studying the molecular mechanisms of NLR protein ligand recognition and activation\, particularly NLRP3 which forms a Caspase-1 activating\, IL-1 processing complex known as the inflammasome upon activation. In addition to biochemical and molecular work focused on mechanisms of innate immune signaling\, we have studied the host innate and adaptive immune responses that influence N. gonorrhoeae infection pathogenesis. My lab discovered that N. gonorrhoeae suppresses host antigen presenting cells’ ability to stimulate T lymphocyte proliferation and has ongoing studies to understand the mechanisms that support this immune evasion. Our studies of N. gonorrhoeae pathogenesis and immunity have been bolstered by the use of a human challenge model for N. gonorrhoeae infection. I have worked in collaboration with Dr. Marcia Hobbs here at UNC running unique experimental human gonococcal infection program for nearly a decade. We have used this model to study N. gonorrhoeae pathogenesis comparing isogenic mutant strains of N. gonorrhoeae. We collaborated on a study of the efficacy of a novel antibody-based therapeutic in the prevention of N. gonorrhoeae infection using the human challenge model. We also have ongoing research projects studying the cross-reactive immune responses against N. gonorrhoeae that are induced by outer-membrane vesicle-based vaccines against the related pathogen\, N. meningitidis using a combination of mouse and human infection models.
