In response to several requests from listeners, we have as our guest today, Dr. Matt Kaeberlein, a professor of pathology at the University of Washington. Matt is well-known for his investigations into the basic mechanisms of aging. Much of his research in this area is focused on identifying interventions that promote healthspan and lifespan. In today's interview, we talk to Matt about the biology of aging and what he has learned about slowing the aging process. In 1999, Matt and his colleague Mitch McVey discovered that overexpression of the SIR2 gene is sufficient to extend lifespan in yeast. SIR stands for silent information regulator, and we have an interesting discussion about how Matt's research and 1999 discovery have elevated SIR2 to the forefront of aging research. Also, some of Matt's most recent and fascinating investigations have been into rapamycin, the only known pharmacological agent to extend lifespan. His research has shed new light on the role rapamycin plays in delaying age-related dysfunction in rodents, dogs, and humans. We also have a fun discussion with Matt about his research showing that rapamycin may have the potential to reduce the mortality of companion dogs. The paper that came out of this research landed Matt on the front page of the New York Times and received prominent play in the national and overseas media. Other topics we cover include: Matt's attempts to uncover the molecular mechanism behind lifespan extension via calorie restriction. His research into mTOR, which is a protein in every cell, and how inhibiting mTOR has been shown to extend the lifespan of insects, rodents, and animals. Matt's 2006 study that showed fasting extends lifespan in worms more than caloric restriction. And an article Matt published last year that summarized several of the most popular anti-aging diets, comparing them with classical caloric restriction. In addition to his work in his Kaeberlein Lab, Matt is the co-director of the Nathan Shock Center of Excellence in the Basic Biology of Aging and the founding director of the Healthy Aging and Longevity Research Institute at the University of Washington. He also is the founder and co-director of the Dog Aging Project. Show notes: [00:02:53] Dawn asks Matt and his youth and where he grew up. [00:03:06] Ken asks if it is true that Matt spent a good deal of his youth “up to no good.” [00:04:20] Dawn mentions that while Matt got decent grades in school, it wasn't until he went to college that he became studious. Dawn asks Matt if it true that he had originally decided to skip college. [00:05:42] Dawn asks how Matt ended up in Bellingham at Western Washington. [00:06:41] Dawn asks how in the world, despite not liking high school and working a morning shift at UPS for two years after graduating, Matt decided to head off for college and major in biochemistry of all things. [00:08:01] Ken asks what led Matt to travel across the country to Boston and MIT's biology program. [00:09:57] Ken asks why Matt decided to focus his research on the biology of aging. [00:11:57] Matt talks about what he did following his Ph.D. [00:13:15] Dawn asks Matt what kind of research he did at the University of Washington Department of Genome Sciences for his post-doc, and how this research related to aging. [00:15:10] Ken mentions that it was during Matt's undergrad that he decided to focus on the question, “To what extent are the mechanisms of aging evolutionarily conserved?” Ken asks Matt what caused him to arrive at that for his central focus. [00:19:36] Dawn mentions that the discovery by Matt, and Mitch McVey, that overexpression of SIR2 (Silent Information Regulator) is sufficient to extend life span in yeast is credited with promoting SIR2 to the forefront of aging research. Dawn goes on to mention that SIR genes are determinants of life span in yeast mother cells. Dawn asks Matt to give a quick primer on the SIR genes a...
Very few of us can say that our careers span continents, species, and millennia but Brandi Cantarel, Associate Director of Bioinformatics at Colossal Biosciences, can. For over 15 years, Brandi has been involved in projects that utilize sequence technology to understand human health, often at the forefront of an emerging field or technology. She leads bioinformatics development of next-generation sequence (NGS) data, including genomics, transcriptomics, and metagenomics in rare/complex genetic diseases, immunology, infectious disease, and cancer. She has applied precision medicine research in a CAP/CLIA setting, with the development of tools for tumor mutational profiling. Prior, Brandi was a faculty member at the UT Southwestern Medical Center, Department of Bioinformatics, and at the University of Maryland, Institute for Genome Sciences. In 2020, Brandi was named a Highly Cited Researcher by Web of Science. In today's episode, we talk about academia from a non-tenure-track perspective, working towards creating a mammoth-elephant hybrid animal, and the nontraditional and awesome ways that biotech startups tackle critical problems with global impact like fighting climate change. (Hint: We say screw it, let's bring back the mammoth and see what works.) Her advice for our listeners? Focus on the science, raise your voice when you feel like it's being done incorrectly, and hire people that are better than you and let them shine. And always be kind to people. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did! *Disclaimer (27:15): The oldest sequencable DNA is 1M year old, not 10K years old. This is not as far back at the mass extinction of dinosaurs (~66 million years).
Join us as we discuss the vaginal microbiome. Jacques explains what it is, how to support it, and what to stop doing so that you can continue to have a healthy vaginal microbiota. This is a fascinating conversation that reveals so much about what we know so far and what we have yet to learn in this unique microbiome. Some background on Dr. Jacques Ravel, he is a professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, and the Associate Director for Genomics at The Institute for Genome Sciences, University of Maryland, School of Medicine in Baltimore Maryland. Over the past 15 years, he has developed a research program focused on applying modern genomic technologies and ecological principles to characterize the role and dynamics of the microbial communities inhabiting the human body in health and disease and better define the interactions between the host, the microbes and the environment that drives these ecological systems. Specifically, he is interested in the role of the vaginal microbiome in women's health in order to develop improved strategies to manage gynecological and obstetrics conditions. He has published over 225 peer-reviewed publications and has attracted grant income of more than $30 million. His work is currently being translated by developing novel live microbiome-based biotherapeutic formulations targeted to restore vaginal health, treat conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infections and improved fertility. His work earned him to be elected to the fellowship of the American Academy of Microbiology, and in 2015, he was awarded the Blaise Pascal international research chair. He is the founder and editor-in-chief of the journal Microbiome. He joined the Institute for Genome Sciences at The University of Maryland Medical School in 2007 as an associate professor.

The vaginal microbiome is just like the gut, it's a collection of bacteria that live together to perform a function that is beneficial. If it lives in the body, it's often beneficial to the host. When it comes to the vaginal microbiota, there are five types of women, four of these types are dominated by lactobacillus, one of the four species (lactobacillus crispatus, lactobacillus iners, lactobacillus gasseri, lactobacillus jensenii). And one of them is not and it's represented, it's more like the gut, this type is very diverse. So you can see it's diverse and very even, a lot more even than what you see in the others. Those bacteria, they acidify the vagina, the pH of the vagina is about 3.6-4, so it's very acidic Those that have an acidified environment are those that you would call very well-protected 25-30% of women that don't have lactobacillus How does the composition of the vaginal microbiome impact a woman's overall health? Without a healthy vaginal microbiome, women are subject to many different risks Sexually transmitted infections A woman being able to get pregnant - the implantation of the egg Chronic yeast infections Vaginal dryness which can make intercourse very painful Can lubricants affect the vaginal microbiome negatively? They are very hypertonic, that's a big problem because what happens is it dries the cells Most lubricants, especially in medicine, contain antimicrobial agents, so it kills even the good bacteria Not every woman is affected by the application of lubricant What are some of the things that people are doing in day to day life that seem to be hurting the vaginal microbiome? Douching - you're basically washing your vagina with chemicals Smoking has a major impact on the vaginal microbiota Poor diet A really heavy dose of azithromycin has a really detrimental effect on the vaginal microbiota What can women start doing right now to help support a healthy vaginal microbiome? Eat healthy - whole foods, less packaged food No smoking Some studies show that exercise helps support a healthy vagina as well Where to learn more about Dr. Jacques Ravel, Website: http://ravel-lab.org Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEQ5hVUYOtg Connect with Kiran and Dr. Nicole: Website: BetterBiome.com Instagram: better.biome Instagram: Microbiome Keynotes Facebook: Microbiome Keynotes Instagram: Dr. Nicole Instagram: Kiran Krishnan
Dr. Matt Kaeberlein is a Professor of Pathology, Adjunct Professor of Genome Sciences, and Adjunct Professor of Oral Health Sciences at the University of Washington. His research interests are focused on basic mechanisms of aging in order to facilitate translational interventions that promote healthspan and improve quality of life. Matt has been around the field of aging for a long time and knows more about the work in the aging field than perhaps anyone else. This was a comprehensive conversation where we spoke about how Matt thinks of aging from a functional perspective, caloric restriction and aging, whether NAD+ precursors are effective in slowing aging, the role of sirtuins. We discuss quite a bit on rapamycin and how it's shown to be effective in improving the health of mice. Matt is very excited about the potential benefits of Rapamycin in reversing aging and he got me excited too. Matt is also working on the Dog Aging project and in trying to understand aging in dogs. Finally, we end the conversation by talking a bit on what good scientific practices should look like. Matt approaches his work with an unbiased lens and that's very respectable. Matt has a brilliant mind! I had such a blast talking to Matt and I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did!

With this data, those working on harm reduction can assess the scope of the epidemic, allocate resources, and gauge the effectiveness of programming over time.
It has been nearly two decades since scientists accomplished the first complete sequencing of the human genome. This historic moment gave us an unprecedented view of human DNA, the genetic code that determines everything from our eye color to our chance of disease, unlocking some of the biggest mysteries of human life. Twenty years later, despite the prevalence of genetic sequencing, considerable work remains to fulfill the promise of these advances to alleviate and cure human illness and disease. Scientists and researchers are “actually extremely good at reading genomes, but we're very, very bad at understanding what we're reading,” says Lea Starita, co-director of Brotman Baty Institute for Precision Medicine’s Advanced Technology Lab, and Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington. But that is changing thanks to new tools and approaches, including one called Deep Mutational Scanning. This powerful technique for determining genetic variants is generating widespread interest in the field of genetics and personalized medicine, and it’s the subject of a symposium and workshop on Jan. 13 and 14, 2020, at the University of Washington. “I think approaches like Deep Mutational Scanning will eventually allow us to make better countermeasures, both vaccines and drugs that will help us combat even these viruses that are changing very rapidly” said Jesse Bloom, an evolutionary and computational biologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the University of Washington Department of Genome Sciences. Bloom, who researches the evolution of viruses, will deliver the keynote at the symposium, held by the Brotman Baty Institute and the Center for the Multiplex Assessment of Phenotype. On this episode of the GeekWire Health Tech Podcast, we get a preview and a deeper understanding of Deep Mutational Scanning from Bloom and Starita.

Matt Kaeberlein – Longevity Expert Our guest today is Matt Kaeberlein, Ph.D., a globally recognized researcher and expert in the biology of aging. Dr. Kaeberlein’s research is based around the premise that understanding the molecular mechanisms of aging will lead to interventions that slow the onset and progression of age-related chronic conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, Alzheimer’s and others. Dr. Kaeberlein received his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2002 advised by Leonard Guarente, and did his post-doctoral work with Stanley Fields in the Department of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington. Dr. Kaeberlein’s expertise in dietary restriction, longevity genes for therapeutics, aging in dogs, and Rapamycin really shines in this conversation. We were lucky enough to really explore his background while sharing our collective love of dogs. The conversation explores many areas, including: What is the difference between calories restriction and dietary restriction What are the biggest challenges with the science How Matt thinks about tailored dietary advice Why Matt launched the Dog Aging Project What we can learn from his research with dogs What is Rapamycin and why he’s so interested in its effects This conversation was incredibly illuminating and really fun. We hope you enjoy the episode and share it with your friends, family, and colleagues.

Women who are pregnant often talk how careful they are about what they eat and drink. They’re careful, points out Dr. Claire Fraser, because they’re feeding their baby. “Well, we should all think about diet in the same way that pregnant women do,” says Fraser. “Everything we put into our mouths, we’re either feeding or not feeding our gut microbes … And it’s important we keep our gut microbes happy.” Fraser is a pioneer and global leader in genomic medicine, a branch of molecular biology that focuses on the genome. In episode 32 of STEM-Talk, Fraser sits down with host Dawn Kernagis and IHMC founder Ken Ford to explain why we should all pay more attention to our guts, which is the home of more than 100 trillion bacteria. An endowed professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Fraser is a founder and director of Maryland’s Institute for Genome Sciences. From 1998 to 2007, she was the director of the Institute for Genomic Research in Rockville, Maryland, and led teams that sequenced the genomes of several microbial organisms, including important human and animal pathogens. In 1995, she became the first person to map the complete genetic code of a free-living organism, Haemophilus Influenza, the bacterium that causes lower respiratory tract infections and meningitis in infants and young children. This discovery forever changed microbiology and launched a new field of study, microbial genomics. During this time, she and her team also sequenced the bacteria behind syphilis and Lyme disease, and eventually the first plant genome and the first human-pathogenic parasite. She even helped identify the source of a deadly 2001 anthrax attack in one of the biggest investigations conducted by U.S. law enforcement. Research into the benefits of gut bacteria has exploded around the world in the past decade. In this STEM-Talk episode, Fraser explains the role these microbes play in improving health, preventing disease, and keeping us mentally sharp. She even shares how her diet has changed since she started studying the gut microbiome. Fraser also talks about working with the FBI during the 2001 antrhax attacks and her early work in microbiology that led to the first mapping of a free-living organism’s complete genetic code. Her recent lecture at IHMC, titled “The Human Gut Microbiome in Health and Disease,” can be viewed at ihmc.us/lectures. If you’re interested in learning more about the gut microbiome, Fraser in her lecture recommended “The Good Gut: Taking Control of Your Weight, Your Mood, and Your Long-term Health” by Stanford University scientists Justin and Erica Sonnenburg. 1:36: Dawn reads the five-star iTunes review titled “Intellectually Stimulating.” 2:28: Dawn and Ken provide a summary of Claire’s background and research, pointing out that she has authored more than 320 scientific publications, edited three books, and has served on committees of the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, and National Institutes of Health. 4:13: Dawn welcomes Claire to STEM-Talk. 4:27: Claire talks about growing up in a suburb of Boston and taking her first biology course as a freshman in high school, which set her on a path toward a career in science. 5:37: Dawn asks Claire what led her to study microbiology. 6:53: Ken points out that there are more microbes on a person’s hand than there are people in the world. He asks Claire to give listeners a short intro into “Microbiome 101.” 9:34: Claire talks about the role of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG), a strain of bacteria that is part of many popular probiotic products and has a reputation as a helpful microbe. 12:00: Ken asks Claire to expand upon the potential of probiotics and their usage in human beings. 14:56: Dawn points out that Claire is internationally known for her role in genome sequencing and asks what led Claire to establish the Institute of Genomics at Maryland.
Professor Elhanan Borenstein, University of Washington Associate Professor of Genome Sciences, will speak at the next Open Mic Science Night; Tuesday, March 7, 8 pm at the Treehouse Café. The title of his talk is ““Meet your inner microbial zoo: A genomic tour of your micro-biome” In this What's Up episode, BCB host Sonia Scaer talks with Professor Borenstein about his research. He and his colleagues study the human microbiome and have developed sophisticated computational methods for analyzing microbiome data. Microbial species are a complex, highly diversified and largely uncharted communities. Each of us has a “normal” microbiome, containing a thousand different species of microorganisms. When an imbalance occurs in our microbiome, it can lead to health problems. Because we can now manipulate the microbiome, we can affect human health. Professor Borenstein explains that its not enough to know what species are interacting with one another, and whether they are good or bad ones. Computational analysis is used to discover relationships within the complex system. In his talk at Open Mic Science, he will be discussing some of the new technologies used to understand the profiles of the microorganisms and how they interact with each other; research that has the potential to impact the treatment of human diseases. This is a fascinating field and sure to peak your interest on how your own microbiome affects your health.

It's hard to imagine the twists and turns of evolution that gave rise to Homo Sapiens. After all, it required geologic time, and the existence of many long-gone species that were once close relatives. That may be one reason why – according to a recent poll – one-third of all Americans reject the theory of evolution. They prefer to believe that humans and other living organisms have existed in their current form since the beginning of time. But if you've ever been sick, you've been the victim of evolution on a very observable time scale. Nasty viruses and bacteria take full advantage of evolutionary forces to adapt to new hosts. And they can do it quickly. Discover how comparing the deadly 1918 flu virus with variants today may help us prevent the next pandemic.

ENCORE It’s hard to imagine the twists and turns of evolution that gave rise to Homo Sapiens. After all, it required geologic time, and the existence of many long-gone species that were once close relatives. That may be one reason why – according to a recent poll – one-third of all Americans reject the theory of evolution. They prefer to believe that humans and other living organisms have existed in their current form since the beginning of time. But if you’ve ever been sick, you’ve been the victim of evolution on a very observable time scale. Nasty viruses and bacteria take full advantage of evolutionary forces to adapt to new hosts. And they can do it quickly. Discover how comparing the deadly 1918 flu virus with variants today may help us prevent the next pandemic. Also, while antibiotic resistance is threatening to become a major health crisis, better understanding of how bacteria evolve their defenses against our drugs may help us out.

The discussion of "designer babies" often revolves around gender or hair color, but as Nita Farahany and Marcy Darnovsky explore, the medical debate is far more complicated. Farahany is Professor of Law and Philosophy, Director of Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy, Duke University; Member, Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues. Should we screen embryos for disease? Should we make genetic modifications? These considerations raise ethical concerns and call into question the validity of surrounding research. The lack of regulation and oversight make this particular biotechnology frightening to some, while the potential for disease eradicating techniques excites others. But how far is too far? What are the major scientific and ethical hurdles to assuage the skeptics? Marcy Darnovsky is the executive director of the Center for Genetics and Society. Nita Farahany is professor of Law and Philosophy and director of the Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy at Duke University. She is a member of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues.

http://www.StockMarketFunding.com Human Genome Sciences Lupus Drug FDA Program Schedule Assuming the Worst Market Manipulation? Wall St is hyping the suicidal results. We believe today's "pre market" manipulation in price action caused some large institutions to take a short position going into the move and the FDA Program Schedule Released at 8 AM today did not show any meaningful new data. Premarket high was $29.50 and now we're trading at $24.50 $5 dollars lower. The new breakthrough in Human Genome Sciences Benlysta drug approval for lupus patients. SMF will cover the pros and the cons of the HGSI new drug and benefits to humanity. We will take a look at one of the most positive developments in "biotechnology" in the past 50 years. We have highlighted HGSI and the longer term trends relative to the current drug developments. BENLYSTA is an investigational human monoclonal antibody drug. It is the first in a new class of drugs called BLyS-specific inhibitors that recognize and inhibit the biological activity of B-lymphocyte stimulator, or BLyS, which was discovered by HGS in 1996. We and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) are developing BENLYSTA under a co-development and commercialization agreement entered into in 2006. In lupus, rheumatoid arthritis and certain other autoimmune diseases, elevated levels of BLyS are believed to contribute to the production of autoantibodies – antibodies that attack and destroy the body’s own healthy tissues.BENLYSTA has successfully met its primary endpoint in two pivotal Phase 3 trials in seropositive patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In June 2010, HGS and GSK submitted regulatory applications seeking approval to market BENLYSTA in the United States and Europe. The FDA has granted BENLYSTA a priority review designation with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target date of December 9, 2010 – so it is possible that BENLYSTA could receive regulatory approval in the United States before the end of 2010.

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: Geoffrey Ginsburg, MD, PhD Patient-centered care is a hot topic in health care these days, though usually when we think of patient-centeredness, our thinking tilts toward aspects of policymaking or system delivery. Host Dr. Janet Wright takes a look at the science side of patient-centered care — the more precise tailoring of therapy known as personalized medicine — with Dr. Geoffrey Ginsburg, founding director of the Center for Genomic Medicine at the Duke Institute for Genome Sciences and Policy and professor of medicine and pathology at Duke University School of Medicine. Dr. Ginsburg also shares what he considers to be the top priorities of this field, forging a path from the research to clinical care. How might personalized medicine impact cardiovascular care in the years to come?
