视觉神经科学
在神经科学的范围内,视觉神经科学已经成为第一个涵盖从分子和细胞过程到高级生理学和视觉心理物理学的所有实验方面的真正的跨学科工作之一。在过去的半个世纪中对脊椎动物和无脊椎动物视觉系统的实验为统计信息和赋予精美特征的神经系统的设计和功能提供了一个通用框架。尽管加州大学洛杉矶分校在视觉科学的每个实验方面都有优势,但直到去年,视觉神经科学从未被用作将视觉科学家聚集在一起的组织结构。视觉神经科学亲和小组的使命是为参与者提供一个论坛,以便在生物学和心理学的各个层面进行互动,程序:这个亲密团体在十月至六月间每月开会。该计划将重点介绍亲和力小组成员实验室所产生的科学数据。将特别强调高级研究生或博士后研究人员,为他们提供正式的指导和反馈。亲和团每季度一次,将邀请来自大学以外的知名演讲者参加开放的研讨会,并与学员进行交流。

在文献中存在2个月至11.5个月的等基因Atm缺陷小鼠寿命中巨大的不明原因的实验室间和实验室间差异。肠道微生物群在我们的健康中起着关键的作用; 部分原因是这些细菌比我们体内的人体细胞多10倍,因为它们具有巨大的代表谢能力。身体特别是免疫系统与肠道微生物之间错综复杂的相互作用强烈地明肠道微生物群影响全身稳态。肠道微生物群组成的差异与诸如肥胖症,糖尿病和行为的疾病有关。然而,正常的非致病性肠道细菌在致癌作用中的作用目前尚不清楚。
目前的研究项目
Robert Schiestl博士实验室对Atm缺陷小鼠的肠道细菌性质显着影响遗传不稳定性,寿命和淋巴瘤潜伏期进行了观察。ATM在DNA双链断裂修复,检查点控制和氧化还原平衡中非常重要。Atm - / - 小鼠模拟人类疾病共济失调毛细血管扩张症(AT),其特征是丧失运动技能,免疫系统受损,癌症风险增加和过早。AT无法治愈。他们将小鼠保持在无菌环境中,另外通过实验改变这种微生物群来特别测试肠道微生物群的贡献。他们明,同基因Atm - / - 小鼠在10%和43%之间的双基因座处有DNA缺失的显着变化,此外,Schiestl实验室从健康有益的微生物群中分离出一种细菌 - 约氏乳杆菌,其自身显着降低了基因毒性,减少了炎性细胞因子,诱导了抗炎细胞因子,并降低了自然杀伤细胞,细胞毒性T细胞和CD3细胞的流行肝脏和外周血,这些都与炎症有关。另外,他们在野生型小鼠中发现了P53缺陷型小鼠的类似差异,甚至更少。因此,这种影响是非常重要的。他们的发现提出了一个直到现在未征的实验变量,这可能具有巨大的影响。首先在AT患者中预防或延缓淋巴瘤,其次为基础研究,其中Atm和许多其他癌症倾向性小鼠模型的众多实验室间和实验室间的差异部分或全部由肠道微生物群的差异来解释。另外,我们的AT小鼠模型对肠炎症过敏。由于炎症与诸如心脏病,所有癌症,神经退行性疾病,关节炎,哮喘,糖尿病,可燃肠道疾病,克罗恩氏病等的许多疾病有关,所以在该动物模型中鉴定的细菌可以作为益生菌受益,所有这些疾病。

动脉粥样硬化与冠心病
由于胆固醇,氧化脂质,白细胞,细胞废物和钙在动脉壁内积聚的结果,斑块的积聚导致动脉粥样硬化和导致冠心病的大中型动脉的狭窄和心肌梗塞。动脉壁代表谢,脂蛋白,免疫系统和凝血因子在动脉粥样硬化,动脉狭窄和最终闭塞中起主要作用。遗传和环境因素影响不同个体动脉粥样硬化的发生率。此外,肠道微生物群现在已经与各种动脉粥样硬化危险因素有关,包括血脂,胆汁酸,胰岛素抵抗和炎症。最近,通过微生物群的作用得到的代表谢物三甲胺-N-氧化物显示与动脉粥样硬化密切相关。参与的实验室(Jake Lusis,Mohamad Navab,Alan Fogelman)主要对小鼠模型中宿主 - 微生物相互作用的机制研究感兴趣。我们还在芬兰的一个横断面人群中进行了大量肠道微生物的流行病学研究。
我们已经观察到,许多抑制炎症的肽通过在肠的水平上起作用,我们正在探索它们的作用部分是由肠道微生物群的作用所介导的可能性。我们观察到,在LDL受体无效小鼠中饲喂含有促炎性脂质的饮食后,P.Pacteriode和P.Verruccomrobrobia的比例改变,我们的抗炎肽逆转了这种改变。

My PhD is in biophysics but somehow I ended up doing mouse genetics for my postdoc.I’m still doing mouse genetics, now with a focus on complex genetic traits, particularly those related to cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.With the development of high throughput technologies, such as expression arrays and sequencing, we have found it useful to marry such data with genetic analysis (‘systems genetics’).I also enjoy teaching.
