Symposium A: Traumatic Brain Injury Building A, Lecture Room C Co-chaired by: Joseph T. McCabe, Ph.D. Paul E. Rapp, Ph.D. With 1.4 million new cases each year, traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious health problem in the U.S. civilian population. It is also an important concern for our warfighters in harms way. Basic and clinical research of the biological effects of TBI, and the potential for therapeutic approaches, is a major effort in basic neuroscience and military medicine research. This symposium brings together four investigators who will review and discuss the neurological dynamics of TBI. Drs. McCarron and Ling will each discuss two of the major causes of TBI seen in military medicine, and Drs. Marini and Bausch will present recent laboratory findings related to the "downstream" biological consequences of injury. |

Symposium B: Biological and Radiological Defense Building A, Lecture Room C Co-chaired by: Gerald V. Quinnan, Jr., M.D., CAPT, USPHS, Professor and Chair of Preventive Medicine, SOM, USUHS Mark H. Whitnall, Ph.D., Program Advisor, Radiation Countermeasures, AFRRI, USUHS Biological and radiological terrorist attacks have emerged as serious security threats. These developments have increased the need to develop safe and effective drugs and vaccines that prevent or ameliorate the effects of pathogens and ionizing radiation, to safeguard military personnel, first responders, and civilians. Two pathogens with major threat potential are anthrax and hemorrhagic fever viruses. Research will be presented on the mechanisms by which inhaled anthrax spores and ebola virus produce highly fatal diseases. This research should provide important leads toward development of effective vaccines and therapeutics. Current trends in radiological countermeasure research focus on specific intracellular and extracellular signaling pathways. USUHS researchers are investigating the molecular mechanisms of injury caused by these agents, as well as the mechanisms of action of drug candidates. The symposium will cover representative research that uses a variety of approaches leading to approval of safe and effective countermeasures. |
