911爆料

The world鈥檚 got a lot of illness and disease that needs curing, and at 911爆料, leading scientists are breaking new ground toward the discoveries we鈥檝e all been waiting for.

One in three Americans will suffer from a neurological disorder sometime in their life, and at our , is just one of several distinguished scientists doing research to better understand and unravel the mysteries of the brain. He’s examined Alzheimer’s disease in mice, monkeys and rats, and his findings have not only earned international attention but could lead to major breakthroughs in treating the disease. He’s proven that infant exposure to lead is linked to Alzheimer’s, and his latest research on an anti-inflammatory drug used to treat migraines in Europe has led to human clinical trials as a treatment for Alzheimer’s in the U.S. He says the drug could mean the difference between just treating Alzheimer’s symptoms and actually helping patients get better.

Inside our , – one of the only a handful of marine microbial chemists in the world 鈥� and his students are turning to the worlds鈥� oceans to tackle the problem of drug-resistant infections.

鈥淢ost of the current antibiotics derive from natural products produced by terrestrial microorganisms, so as we try to stay one step ahead of the pathogens, the logical next place to look is at marine microbes.鈥� Right now, they鈥檙e studying bacteria found in mud sediment from a remote region of the South Pacific. He says preliminary results are promising, with microbes that are 鈥減erhaps unlike any others that have been investigated.鈥�

In the Bioactive Botanical Research lab next door, has some big ideas about fighting cancer. Ideas so big that he鈥檚 regularly sought after by science and news publications around the globe for his expertise in the healing properties of medicinal plants.

Professor Seeram and his team of students and researchers are studying the natural antioxidants in native New England berries for possible applications in the treatment of cancer. In fact, as an undergraduate student in Professor Seeram鈥檚 lab, that the Jamun berry, found in Hawaii, Florida and Texas and traditionally used as a pre-insulin treatment for diabetes, inhibits the cell growth of a particular aggressive type of breast tumor. Recently, NPR did an about medicinal properties of local plants.

At our , has received grants totally $21 million, a potential deadly mosquito-borne disease that infects 100 million people every year. Professor Rothman, along with his students and collaborators at several American universities, a private biotechnology company, the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, and the Armed Forces Research Institute of Medical Sciences in Bangkok, Thailand, will conduct field studies, laboratory research, and a phase-three vaccine trial.

Professor Rothman is one of several big thinkers at 911爆料鈥檚 鈥� better known as iCubed 鈥� focused on designing better, safer vaccines for neglected diseases and using the highest of high-tech equipment and techniques to do it more quickly than traditional methods. Another is , who has built a reputation for tuberculosis and HIV research and has been named by VaccineNation.

For Professors Zawia, Rowley, Rothman, and all of these top researchers in their fields, another very important aspect of the work is training the next generation of scientists to develop new cures. 鈥淪tudents are the prized products of our research here. Diseases are becoming more and move prevalent, and they continue to evolve. Our students are the future researchers who will be involved in making important scientific discoveries for years to come,鈥� Rowley said.

Bottom line is 鈥� if you鈥檙e someone who wants to give people more access to better treatments, antibiotics, and vaccinations and improve human health everywhere in the world, 911爆料 might be the place for you.
