Collaborative network of investigators with a focus on prevention of autoimmune disease, defined as halting the development of autoimmune disease prior to clinical onset by means other than global immunosuppression, and an emphasis on Type 1 diabetes. Its mission is to engage in scientific discovery that significantly advances knowledge for the prevention and regulation of autoimmune disease. The specific goals enunciated in pursuit of this mission are: * To create improved models of disease pathogenesis and therapy to better understand immune mechanisms that will provide opportunities for prevention strategies * To use these models as validation platforms with which to test new tools applicable to human studies * To encourage core expertise and collaborative projects designed for rapid translation from animal to human studies, emphasizing the development of surrogate markers for disease progression and/or regulation which can be utilized in the context of clinical trials

Biomedical technology research center that develops innovative technologies in five core research areas of magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy (MRI/MRS): # image reconstruction, fast imaging and radiofrequency (RF) pulse design methods, # R hardware development, # body imaging methods, # neuroimaging methods. # MR spectroscopy methods. In each of these areas, they capitalize on the long-standing, successful partnership and extensive experience in Stanford's Radiology and Electrical Engineering departments to improve and expand imaging technology for use in basic research and clinical care, and to provide cutting edge opportunities to the extramural community for biomedical research with MRI. Over its more than 18 years of existence, CAMRT has been motivated by and has served a wide base of extramurally sponsored collaborators and service users from leading medical and research institutions. Examples of collaborative projects are the development of real-time functional MRI biofeedback methods for neuroscience and clinical applications such as pain remediation, development of methods to mitigate metal artifacts in musculoskeletal imaging, development of novel RF pulses for many applications, and studies of breast cancer with efficient MRS methods.

Biomedical technology research center that develops and applies new methods for analysis of metabolic networks in intact tissues, animals and human patients. The importance of understanding abnormal metabolism in common diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease has long been appreciated. Because of constraints in technology, however, much of this research has been conducted in isolated systems where clinical relevance may be uncertain. Progress in magnetic resonance technology provides a foundation for major advances towards new ways of imaging metabolism in patients. These new techniques offer the advantage of imaging biochemical pathways without radiation. The focus of this Resource is to bring these technologies to a level where clinical research is feasible through the development of new MR contrast agents, NMR spectroscopy at high fields, and imaging of hyperpolarized 13C.

A Java program that functionally annotates variants from whole-exome sequencing data starting from a VCF (Variant Call Format) file (version 4). The functional annotation code is based on Annovar and uses UCSCKnownGene transcript definitions and hg19 genomic coordinates. Variants are prioritized according to user-defined criteria on variant frequency, pathogenicity, quality, inheritance pattern, phenotype data from human and model organisms, and proximity in the interactome to phenotypically similar genes.

http://www.epitarget.eu/

A multidisciplinary project focused on the process leading to epilepsy, epileptogenesis, in adults. Their main hypothesis is that there are combinations of various causes, acting in parallel and/or in succession, that lead to epileptogenesis and development of seizures. Their central premise and vision is that a combinatorial approach is necessary to identify appropriate biomarkers and develop effective antiepileptogenic therapeutics. The project will focus on: * identifying novel biomarkers and their combinations for epileptogenesis after potentially epileptogenic brain insults in clinically relevant animal models, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and status epilepticus (SE); * exploring multiple basic mechanisms of epileptogenesis and their mutual interactions; * and translating these findings towards the clinic by validating biomarkers in human samples accessible to the consortium.
