Our mission is to conduct fundamental research in the areas of cell biology, developmental biology and neurobiology, and to provide a first rate educational experience for students of the Medical College of Wisconsin and its Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences. Current research in the department is strong in two major areas; developmental biology and neurobiology. Postdoctoral research opportunities are available. In developmental biology there is a focus on growth, regeneration and transcription mediated pathways in such systems as neural crest differentiation, heart development, liver development and in the area of muscle atrophy and plasticity. In neurobiology there is a strength in vision with special focus on photoreceptor cell biology, color vision, plasticity in the visual cortex, and functional MRI of the visual system. The department is currently expanding its research efforts in both areas. Faculty in the department also participate in interdisciplinary graduate education through the Graduate Programs in Neuroscience and Biomedical Sciences, and through management of an interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Cell and Developmental Biology. The department also plays an essential role in medical education through its first year medical courses in Cell and Tissue Biology, Developmental Biology, and Clinical Human Anatomy. In addition, the department is a principal participant in an interdisciplinary neuroscience course which includes faculty from other departments within the medical college.

Mouse Party is an interactive website that teaches how various drugs disrupt the synapse by taking a look inside the brains of mice on drugs! Every drug of abuse has its own unique molecular mechanism. Where applicable, this presentation primarily depicts how drugs interact with dopamine neurotransmitters because this website focuses on the brain''s reward pathway. Mouse Party is designed to provide a small glimpse into the chemical interactions at the synaptic level that cause the drug user to feel ''high''. The simplified mechanisms of drug action presented here are just a small part of the story. When drugs enter the body they elicit very complex effects in many different regions of the brain. Often they interact with many different types of neurotransmitters and may bind with a variety of receptor types in a variety of different locations. For example, THC in marijuana can bind with cannabinoid receptors located on the presynaptic and/or postsynaptic cell in a synapse.

http://biocreative.sourceforge.net/

Community-wide effort (Challenge) for evaluating text mining and information extraction systems applied to the biological domain. It is focused on the comparison of methods and the community assessment of scientific progress, rather than on the purely competitive aspects. There is a considerable difficulty in constructing suitable gold standard data for training and testing new information extraction systems which handle life science literature. Thus the data sets derived from the BioCreAtIvE challenge - because they have been examined by biological database curators and domain experts - serve as useful resources for the development of new applications as well as helping to improve existing ones. Two main issues are addressed at BioCreAtIvE, both concerned with the extraction of biologically relevant and useful information from the literature. The first one is concerned with the detection of biologically significant entities (names) such as gene and protein names and their association to existing database entries. The second one is concerned with the detection of entity-fact associations (e.g. protein - functional term associations ).

http://obssr.od.nih.gov/index.aspx

An NIH office devoted to the study of the role of behavioral and social factors in illness and health. Its mission is to stimulate behavioral and social sciences research throughout NIH and to integrate these areas of research more fully into others of the NIH health research enterprise, thereby improving our understanding, treatment, and prevention of disease. To provide the OBSSR with counsel in fulfilling its mission, the Behavioral and Social Sciences Research Coordinating Committee (BSSR CC) serves as an internal advisory board. The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) opened officially on July 1, 1995. The major responsibilities of the office and its director, set forth in its formal mission statement, are: * To provide leadership and direction in the development, refinement, and implementation of a trans-NIH plan to increase the scope of and support for behavioral and social sciences research. * To inform and advise the NIH director and other key officials of trends and developments having significant bearing on the missions of the NIH, DHHS, and other federal agencies. * To serve as the principal NIH spokesperson regarding research on the importance of behavioral, social, and lifestyle factors in the causation, treatment, and prevention of diseases; and to advise and consult on these topics with NIH scientists and others within and outside the federal government. * To develop a standard definition of behavioral and social sciences research, assess the current levels of NIH support for this research, and develop an overall strategy for the uniform expansion and integration * of these disciplines across NIH institutes and centers. * To develop initiatives designed to stimulate research in the behavioral and social sciences arena, integrate a bio-behavioral perspective across the research areas of the NIH, and encourage the study of behavioral and social sciences across NIH''s institutes and centers. * To initiate and promote studies to evaluate the contributions of behavioral, social, and lifestyle determinants in the development, course, treatment, and prevention of illness and related public health problems. * To provide leadership in ensuring that findings from behavioral and social sciences research are disseminated to the public. * To sponsor seminars, symposia, workshops, and conferences at the NIH and at national and international scientific meetings on state-of-the-art behavioral and social sciences research. Funding Opportunities Announcements (FOA) Since opening its doors in 1995, The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) has worked to achieve the goals of its authorizing legislation by effectively highlighting and supporting the scientific opportunities that exist in basic and applied behavioral and social sciences research. Guided by its Strategic Plan, OBSSR has been working actively with its IC partners to develop funding opportunities in the behavioral and social sciences. Although OBSSR does not have grant-making authority, it has been active in organizing and funding (through transfers to NIH Institutes and Centers) a variety of trans-NIH research programs. Scientific Areas The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Researchs (OBSSR) leadership is crucial at a time when exciting scientific opportunities, persistent public health needs, and emergent public health challenges face our nation. The vision of the office is to bring together the biomedical, behavioral, and social science communities to work more collaboratively to solve complex pressing health challenges. Notable areas of research where OBSSR has led efforts and encourages research include: * Biopsychosocial Interactions * Methodology (including Systems Science and CBPR) * Genes, Behavior and Environment * Social and Cultural Factors in Health * Health and Behavior * Translation OBSSR Training & Education Opportunities The Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) develops and coordinates training and career development opportunities with the NIH Institutes and Centers.

Supports research and scholarship to improve the quality of life by providing funding for grants in three program areas: studying complex systems, understanding human cognition, and mathematical and complex systems approaches for brain cancer. Types of awards include Fellowship Awards, Scholar Awards, and Collaborative Awards. * Studying Complex Systems: This program supports scholarship and research directed toward the development of theoretical and mathematical tools that can be applied to the study of complex, adaptive, nonlinear systems. It is anticipated that research funded in this program will address issues in fields such as biology, biodiversity, climate, demography, epidemiology, technological change, economic development, governance, or computation. * Understanding Human Cognition: This program supports research studying how neural systems are linked to and support cognitive functions and how cognitive systems are related to an organism's (preferably human) observable behavior. Studies with model organisms should justify why such models were selected and how data obtained from models advances our understanding of human cognition. * Mathematical & Complex Systems Approaches for Brain Cancer: (Collaborative Activity Awards grant type only.) Despite some recent cause for optimism for advancing the clinical treatment of brain cancers, for many patients brain tumor remains a devastating diagnosis. Progress against this disease has been stymied by limited understandings of the molecular, metabolic, and physiological characteristics of human brain cancers across multiple temporal and spatial scales and by the failure of many preclinical models to predict patient responses.

http://divvy.ucsd.edu/

Software application for performing unsupervised machine learning and visualization with a focus on the clustering (separating data into groups) and dimensionality reduction (finding low dimensional structure in high dimensional data) subfields of machine learning. For visualization we provide support for both the whole dataset (e.g. a scatter plot) and points (e.g. transforming a particular point into an image). * Endlessly extensible. Every clusterer, reducer, point visualizer and dataset visualizer in Divvy is a plugin. We''ve provided a few big ones (K-means, PCA, scatter plot, &c.) and we''re hoping the community will use our plugin protocol to build many more. Each plugin defines its own UI, so your algorithm can look and behave the way that you want it to without top-down constraints. * Have lots of cores? Divvy is both task and data parallel. No longer will you be waiting for one algorithm to complete before you start another. Start as many as you want and keep using the UI. Only started one? With data parallelism we''ll still push your new MacBook Pro to 800% CPU utilization. * Part of your workflow: Export your clusterings and reductions to .csv and your visualizations to .png. Use your Matlab or R data with our Matlab/R to Divvy export tools available at http://github.com/jmlewis/divvy.
