Upcoming PIs and Pies Sessions:
Expecting the Unexpected: Erythropoietin Beyond Red Blood Cell Production
March 27, 2025 from 11:45 – 1:00 pm ET (must arrive by 12PM)
Location: FAES Learning Labs Classrooms
Speaker: Connie Noguchi, Ph.D., Acting Branch Chief, NIDDK
Erythropoietin is known for treatment of anemia to increase erythrocyte production. Additionally, animal models demonstrate receptor mediated erythropoietin metabolic and stress response including protective activity in brain, cardiovasculature, skeletal muscle, and obesity, suggesting the therapeutic potential of erythropoietin beyond erythropoiesis.
Immunology on a WHIM
April 15, 2025 from 11:45 – 1:00 pm ET (must arrive by 12PM)
Location: FAES Learning Labs Classrooms
Speaker: Philip M. Murphy, M.D., Senior Investigator, NIAID
Inborn errors of immunity provide an opportunity to help rare patients with devastating diseases as well as to unlock immunological principles that might be generalized to more common conditions. WHIM syndrome is an inborn error of immunity caused by gain-of-function mutations in the chemokine receptor CXCR4 where new insights about pathogenesis have led to new concepts for drug treatment, as well as cure through gene therapy and allotransplantation.
