Nadia grew up in Chapel Hill but spent much of her childhood in Trinidad and Tobago where her mother’s family lives. Nadia attended Boston College where she graduated with a Master of Arts in Sociology and a minor in Hispanic Studies. Following her undergraduate studies Nadia spent two years at the Yale School of Medicine conducting translational research on the mechanisms of acute diarrheal illness\, a leading cause of childhood death worldwide. She then went on to graduate from medical school at UNC in 2018. Following medical school\, Nadia completed pediatric residency at the University of Colorado where she was a member of the Global Health Track and conducted research on screening practices for pediatric latent tuberculosis infection. Nadia started pediatric pulmonary fellowship at UNC in 2021\, and following her first year\, she spent one year in Malawi conducting clinical research on severe pneumonia in infants as an NIH Fogarty Global Health Fellow. Nadia plans to pursue an academic career with a focus on improving the health of children with respiratory disease in the United States and globally\, with an emphasis on sub-Saharan Africa. \n\nThe School of Medicine of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

SUMMARY:Children's Research Institute Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Interleukin 6 regulation of T cell metabolism and function\nYazan Alwarawrah\, PhD\nAssistant Professor\, Pediatric Endocrinology\n3116 Mary Ellen Jones \nLunch Provided\nor\nJOIN THE ZOOM\nhttps://zoom.us/j/98566446544?pwd=ajU0aFhvbGdZRlROZXN0Z1liMXlzZz09\nPlease mute your microphone. \n  \nDr. Yazan Alwarawrah is a Research Assistant Professor who is interested in targeting metabolism for the treatment of disease. Currently\, he is studying T cell metabolism in the context of obesity-associated protective immunity dysfunction where he uses the diet induced obesity mouse model to study the effect of obesity on T cell metabolism and function in different tissues using metabolic and flow cytometric approaches. He is specifically interested in the role of T cell metabolic dysfunction in the impairment of protective immunity against influenza. He also works on studying Immunity Related GTPase I (Irgm1) regulation of T cell metabolism and function and its role in protective immunity and autoimmunity\, and he works on the metabolic engineering of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells to enhance their persistence in the tumor microenvironment. He has a diverse scientific background ranging from molecular biology and bioinformatics to pharmacology and immunology. He seeks challenging questions in cellular metabolism and immunology that can lead to finding treatments for obesity associated pathologies\, cancer\, and autoimmune diseases. \n\nThe School of Medicine of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. The School of Medicine of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill designates this live activity for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s) .

SUMMARY:Children's Research Institute Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Engineering intrinsic AAV proteins for safer gene therapies\nSara Powell\, PhD\nAssistant Professor of Pediatrics\nUNC Pediatric Genetics & Metabolism &\nThe Center for Molecular Medicine\n3116 Mary Ellen Jones \nLunch Provided\nor\nZoom Details Upon Request\nAdeno-associated virus (AAV) has become the vector of choice for gene therapy treatments. AAV’s dominance is due in part to decades of research on its biology here at The UNC-CH Gene Therapy Center. Now that the therapeutic potential of gene therapy and AAV gene therapy has been realized\, a greater understanding of the virus is required to generate safer\, more efficacious treatments. Dr. Powell’s lab studies intrinsic AAV proteins and their potential roles in AAV biology that can be applied to AAV gene therapies in the Central Nervous System (CNS). One such AAV protein is VP1 which is a subunit of the capsid\, but they focus on the internalized unstructured region that is unavailable to cellular receptor binding. This region of VP1 can be changed to alter transgene expression in vivo\, and Dr. Powell’s team is working to harness this and learn about its mechanism. Another AAV intrinsic protein is MAAP (membrane-associated accessory protein) which is encoded in the same gene as VP1 but from an alternate reading frame. While MAAP was first described to function during AAV vector production\, they found that it can mediate AAV transgene expression in vivo. Therefore\, her lab works to understand MAAP biology in vivo and how to apply what they learn to develop AAV gene therapies for the CNS. Dr. Powell’s lab has also collaborated with other labs to generate AAV novel vectors for epilepsy\, ALS\, and Alzheimer’s by targeting oligodendrocytes\, pericytes\, and neurons using their findings from AAV basic biology and capsid libraries. \nOpen to All:\nYou don’t need to be a CRI member to present or participate.
