Four nationally prominent leaders in medical research join the board to advance progress toward a cure for Rett Syndrome
“It is an honor to work with such distinguished colleagues on this advisory board; it is also a productive and very meaningful endeavor because of the intense commitment and unusually strong scientific sophistication of the Rett Syndrome Research Trust’s leadership,” said Dr. Hyman. TRUMBULL, Conn. (PRWEB) May 20, 2021 The Rett Syndrome Research Trust has established a Translational Medicine Advisory Board to provide new strategic direction for its CURE 360 agenda and open new avenues of innovative research that can be applied to Rett Syndrome. Four internationally recognized leaders in the field of medical research have joined the advisory board, all of whom have significant, broad academic and
Posted April 9th, 2021 for Broad Institute Welcome to the April 9, 2021 installment of Research Roundup , a recurring snapshot of recent studies published by scientists at the Broad Institute and their collaborators. Enhancing V2F maps GWASs have yielded thousands of genetic variants linked to disease. To help figure out the function of many of these variants, Joseph Nasser (now at Caltech), Drew Bergman, Charles Fulco (now at Bristol Myers Squibb), Philine Guckelberger (now at the Free University of Berlin), Benjamin Doughty (now at Stanford University), Eric Lander (on leave), Jesse Engreitz (now at Stanford), and colleagues used their activity-by-contact (ABC) model to build maps that connect enhancers to their target genes in 131 cell types and tissues. Using those maps, the team linked more than 5,000 GWAS signals to nearly 2,250 genes across 72 traits and diseases. The researchers also predicted which enhancers contain risk variants for inflammatory bowel di
Many people are upset by the recent rumors of an affordable housing complex specifically for artists proposed next to the Stanley Theater in Utica.
An organization known as Artspace, which is involved in a number of projects across the state, has presented a vision to build a 40 unit apartment complex to be completed by 2023 for a cost of $12.5 Million.
According to the Artspace website,
Now in predevelopment, Artspace Utica will be a catalytic project to address critical affordable housing and economic development opportunities for the creative workforce, constructed on a lot at the intersection of the Commercial and Arts & Cultural Districts downtown.
When even grief is taken away
COVID-19 isolation has undercut the human need for collective mourning, expert says
With more than 500,000 dead, the COVID-19 pandemic has created a nation touched by grief, compounded by the trauma of job loss, financial trouble, and everyday confusion, a mix that a Harvard psychologist said creates a complex and troubling picture of the country’s emotional landscape.
Christy Denckla, a research fellow at the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and a postdoctoral fellow in the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s Department of Epidemiology, said that with so many having died from the pandemic, few Americans at this point haven’t either lost a loved one to COVID-19 or at least know someone who has. Those losses amid an infectious disease mean the practices that society has developed over centuries vigils for the dying, wakes, funerals, and other end-of-life rituals that bring people togeth
