SUMMARY:Blood-brain barrier dysfunction in Pediatric Acute Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Regulation
DESCRIPTION:Tune in to learn research updates on blood-brain barrier dysfunction in Pediatric Acute Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) and Regulation. \n\n\nThe speakers: \nNoor A. Hussein\, PhD is a pharmacology scientist.\n“My experience as a researcher has taught me to seek out new perspectives for exploration and discovery. As a dedicated biological and pharmacological researcher with over 7 years of experience with models of diseases such as cancer both in vitro and in vivo. During my masters and Ph.D. studies\, I mastered lots of molecular biology techniques\, including cell culture\, cytotoxicity assays\, western blot\, quantitative PCR\, immunofluorescence\, flow cytometry. I utilized my skills to design experiments finding solutions to common problems in the biomedical field\, especially cancer experimental and molecular therapeutics.” \nAyan Mondal\, Ph.D. is a third-year post-doctoral research fellow in Prof Elizabeth Mellins’ laboratory at Dept of pediatrics\, Stanford University. “I completed my graduation from University of Calcutta\, India\, in 2017. I have conducted 1.5 years of research on molecular medicine following graduation and joined as a post-doctoral researcher at the Arnold School of Public health\, University of South Carolina\, in the year 2019. During the training\, I studied neuroimmune signaling mechanisms in the gut-liver-brain axes in mouse models of metabolic disorders and military-deployment-associated disorders. My studies elucidated the mechanism of neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction mediated by specific proteins that are elevated in blood during these disease conditions. In my post-doctoral research with Prof Mellins\, I am studying changes in BBB function in PANS. I am focusing on elucidating the mechanisms of action of novel modulators of BBB that are relevant to homeostatic maintenance of the BBB and other novel modulators that increase BBB permeability during flares of PANS. My proposed experimental strategies include transcriptomic and proteomic approaches in cell types of the CNS neurovascular unit.” \nRegister here. \n

SUMMARY:In collaboration with the National Alliance for Direct Support Professionals (NADSP)\, Parent to Parent of NYS presents “Introduction to the Roles of Direct Support Professionals for Families” - webinar
DESCRIPTION:n collaboration with the National Alliance for Direct Support Professionals (NADSP)\, Parent to Parent of NYS presents “Introduction to the Roles of Direct Support Professionals for Families” This webinar will discuss and describe the DSP code of ethics as it relates to the family. In addition\, this webinar will help to define the specific role of the DSP not only in certified residences but in community-based settings as well as the family home. This discussion will also include the Standardized Occupational Classification which is hopefully forthcoming from the United States Department of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This classification will further elevate the value and role of direct support professionals. Direct Support Professionals are at the core of care for those with disabilities along with their families. This presentation aims to provide more understanding of each member’s role in supporting the individual receiving services and how all parties can work together to achieve the best possible outcomes. \nRegister here.
