DESCRIPTION:(1) “Measles in the 21st Century”\n\nDiane E. Griffin, M.D., Ph.D.,\n\n\nJohns Hopkins University,Baltimore, Maryland; \n\nAbstract: Measles remains an important cause of childhood morbidity and mortality in developed and developing countries, despite the availability of a safe and effective live attenuated measles vaccine. Barriers to vaccination include: lack of political will; logistical difficulties of vaccine delivery; and unfounded fears of diseases caused by vaccines.\n\n(2) "Unrest at Home: Diversity and Disturbance in Mammalian Microbiomes"\n\nDavid A. Relman, M.D.,\n\n\nStanford University,Stanford, California; \n\nAbstract: We have undertaken longitudinal studies in humans with the goals of describing the temporal dynamics of the microbiome and of identifying features associated with stability in the face of disturbances or changes in the environment. A predictive understanding of the human microbiome will inform effective strategies to prevent and/or mitigate disease.\n\n(3) "Microbial and Host Behaviors Underlie Colonization Success"\n\nEdward G. Ruby, Ph.D.,\n\n\nUniversity of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii; \n\nAbstract: The association between the bacterium Vibrio fischeri and the light-organ of the sepiolid squid, Euprymna scolopes, provides a model system to gain insights into mechanisms by which beneficial bacteria optimize tissue colonization. Bacterial behaviors (such as aggregation, chemotaxis and flagellar motility) have evolved, in coordination with host responses, to promote specificity, mutualistic activity and population stability.\n\n(4) "Critical Informatics in a\nComplex Humanitarian\nEmergency: Assessing\nPuerto Rico after Maria"\n\nEric Rasmussen, M.D., Infinitum Humanitarian Systems\nSeattle, Washington; \n\nAbstract: After recent deployments to Supertyphoon Haiyan in\nthe Philippines, the Kathmandu earthquake in Nepal,\nHurricane Odile in Mexico, and Hurricane Mathew in\nHaiti, the Global Disaster Response Team for the\nRoddenberry Foundation concluded that gaps in\nassessment and shortfalls in resource allocation could\nbe mitigated by developing free and open-source apps\ndesigned to guide the reporting of damage to\nstreamline care and accelerate recovery.\n\n\n\n***COBRE website information: http://pceidr.jabsom.hawaii.edu/guest/Guest.vm?method=eventDetail&id=142
