SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds- Dr. Kevan Herold presents: Finding\, Preventing\, and Reversing Type 1 Diabetes
DESCRIPTION:My background and research are in translational immunology. I am interested in understanding the basis for autoimmune diseases and developing new therapies based on our understanding of disease mechanisms. My focus has largely been in the field of autoimmune Type 1 diabetes. The work encompasses basic laboratory work as well as clinical studies to understand the regulation of autoreactive T cells to clinical trials that involve novel therapeutics. As part of these studies\, my lab has been very interested in the analysis of beta cell function in Type 1 diabetes and identifying the cellular mechanisms that can protect them from immune killing. We have also been studying the development of autoimmune diabetes in patients with cancers who are treated with checkpoint inhibitors. Our clinical and basic studies are focused on understanding how beta cells are destroyed and react to inflammation. Finally\, with the COVID-19 pandemic\, we have been studying the immunologic basis for responses in children and adults who are hospitalized with COVID-19 to understand the mechanisms that can lead to disease protection.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds- Dr. Stephanie Duggins Davis presents: "Spectrum and Evolution from Acute to Chronic Pulmonary Embolism."
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Davis is a pediatric pulmonologist whose research is focused on diseases that affect the lungs of infants and children such as cystic fibrosis\, primary ciliary dyskinesia\, and lung disease related to premature birth. Specifically\, by gaining a firmer understanding of the early pathogenesis of these diseases\, developing new ways of assessing or predicting developing disease\, and testing new therapeutics in the youngest patients\, Dr. Davis’s research group aims to slow or prevent disease progression at the earliest stages of development. Dr. Davis is a world-renown expert in pediatric pulmonology\, with extensive expertise in infant and preschool lung function testing\, who has been a member of many national and international consensus groups responsible for establishing guidelines for the diagnosis\, monitoring\, and treatment of infants and children with pediatric respiratory disease. \nSome of Dr. Davis’s research initiatives have included: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvaluating and allowing for the expanded use of preschool lung function testing for monitoring lung disease progression.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGaining a better understanding of the links between the various genetic mutations which cause primary ciliary dyskinesia and the resultant structure/function of the respiratory cilia play in the severity and progression of disease.\nInvestigating the role that viruses may play in the early disease trajectory of infants with cystic fibrosis.\nCharacterizing the spectrum of respiratory disease observed in children born extremely premature and developing tools useful for clinicians to predict and allow for closer follow-up of those at higher risk of worse lung disease.\nTesting the efficacy of inhaled hypertonic saline as a therapy in infants and preschoolers with cystic fibrosis.

SUMMARY:Medicine Grand Rounds- Robert Wirka presents: "Using Human Genetics to Discover New Mechanisms Driving Coronary Artery Disease."
DESCRIPTION:I am a physician-scientist who uses human genetics to uncover new mechanisms driving coronary artery disease (CAD). As a cardiologist\, I see the devastation this disease continues to cause\, despite our current therapies. This has motivated me to study the molecular drivers of this disease\, with the goal of identifying new therapeutic targets that can reduce the burden of CAD. By studying how the genomes of patients with CAD differ from healthy people\, scientists have identified signals in the human genome that point to the most critical genes and pathways driving CAD. Starting with these genetic signals\, my lab 1) identifies the genes underlying these signals\, 2) studies how these genes affect coronary artery biology during disease\, using mouse models and human vascular samples\, 3) identifies the molecular pathways affected and 4) determines how these pathways converge\, like spokes on a wheel\, to the central drivers of CAD. By prioritizing the study of genes and pathways we know are the most critical in driving clinical CAD\, we have the best chance at developing effective therapies to mitigate this devastating disease.

SUMMARY:DOM Medicine Grand Rounds- Dr. Myron Cohen presents: "The Global Control of HIV and the Very Unique Role of UNC: A Success Story in Progress"
DESCRIPTION:  \nMyron Scott Cohen was born in Chicago\, Illinois in 1950. Dr. Cohen received his BS degree\, Magna Cum Laude\, from the University of Illinois\, Champaign-Urbana in 1971. He received an MD degree from Rush Medical College\, Chicago\, Illinois. He completed training in internal medicine at the University of Michigan\, and training in infectious diseases at Yale University. After working in 1979 in the Peoples Republic of China on Hemorrhagic Fever with Nephrosonephritis\, Dr. Cohen joined the faculty of the University of North Carolina in 1980. He rose to the rank of Professor over 10 years and served as the Director of the Division of Infectious Diseases from 1991 until 2019. He founded the UNC Institute for Global health and Infectious Diseases in 2007. Dr. Cohen has served as Co-PI of the NIH HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) since 2012 and as one of the founders and leaders of the NIH COVID Prevention Network (CoVPN) in 2020. Dr. Cohen is the Yeargan-Bate Eminent Professor of Medicine\, Microbiology and Immunology\, and Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. \nFor three decades\, Dr. Cohen’s research has focused on the transmission and prevention of transmission of viral pathogens. Importantly\, Dr. Cohen led the development of laboratory methods to measure HIV in genital secretions\, as well as methods to determine the best antiviral agents to reduce replication of HIV in these compartments in men and women. Dr. Cohen served as Principal Investigator of the multinational HPTN 052 trial\, which demonstrated that antiretroviral treatment of people with HIV infection prevents the sexual transmission of the virus. This work was recognized by Science Magazine as the “Breakthrough of the Year” in 2011. The results led immediately to worldwide changes in HIV treatment guidelines and HIV “treatment as prevention” (TASP) as the central strategy for reduction of transmission of HIV. Subsequently\, Dr. Cohen has led efforts to develop additional tools to prevent HIV acquisition including long-acting injectable antiviral agents and broad neutralizing antibodies. \nSince onset of the COVID-19 pandemic\, Dr. Cohen has worked on vaccines and monoclonal antibodies for prevention of COVID-19 as a leader of the NIH CoVPN. Dr. Cohen spearheaded a “proof of concept” study that demonstrated the Eli Lilly drug\, bamlanivimab\, could prevent COVID-19 in long term care facilities\, protecting a profusion of people at highest risk of serious symptoms and death. He worked with Regeneron to show that the combination of antibodies called REGEN-COV prevented COVID-19 for five months after administration. \nDr. Cohen is the author of more than six hundred publications and one book. Dr. Cohen is a Fellow of the American Society for Microbiology\, the American College of Physicians\, and the Infectious Disease Society of America. He is a member of the National Academy of Medicine\, the American Society for Clinical Investigation\, and the American Association of Physicians. Dr. Cohen received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from Rush Medical College in 2000. He received the Distinguished Career Award for lifetime achievement from the American Sexually Transmitted Diseases Association in 2005. In 2008\, Dr. Cohen received the O. Max Gardner Award\, the highest honor in the University of North Carolina System. In 2013 Dr. Cohen received the Smadel Award from the Infectious Disease Society in recognition of his work in public health. Also in 2013\, Dr. Cohen received the Award for Science from the State of North Carolina\, its highest civilian honor. \n
