John Wilbanks: Let’s pool our medical data

<p>"When you're getting medical treatment, or taking part in medical testing, privacy is important; strict laws limit what researchers can see and know about you. But what if your medical data could be used -- anonymously -- by anyone seeking to test a hypothesis? John Wilbanks wonders if the desire to protect our privacy is slowing research, and if opening up medical data could lead to a wave of health care innovation".</p

Water and the biology of *prions* and plaques

<p>This is an attempt to account for the insolubility and/or aggregation of prions and plaques in terms of a model of water consisting of an equilibrium between high density and low density microdomains. Hydrophobic molecules, including proteins,<br>accumulate selectively into stable populations, enriched in high density water, at<br>charged sites on biopolymers. In enriched high density water, proteins are probably<br>partially unfolded and may precipitate out when released. All extracellular matrices<br>contain such charged polymers. Prions, which have been shown to accumulate in soils<br>and clays containing silicates and aluminates also probably accumulate in extracellular matrices.</p

Open Views - David Lipman, National Institutes of Health

<p><em>Whilst this interview is from back in 2007, it remains a topical interview.</em></p> <p>Dr. David Lipman is currently the Director of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), which is a division of the National Library of Medicine within the National Institutes of Health. NCBI was created by Congress in 1988 to do basic research in computational biology, and to develop computational tools, databases and information systems for molecular biology.After medical training, Dr. Lipman joined the Mathematical Research Branch of the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) as a Research Fellow. In his research on computational tools, he developed the most widely used methods for searching biological sequence databases. There are thousands of citations to Dr. Lipman’s methods in papers which have used them to discover biological functions for unknown sequences and which have thereby advanced the understanding of the molecular basis of human disease.</p> <p>Since 1989, Dr. Lipman has been the Director of the NCBI, a leading research center in computational biology, the creators of PubMed, and one of the most heavily used sites in the world for the search and retrieval of biomedical information.</p> <p> </p

Dr. Chris Surridge discusses Open Access/Science - 2006

<p>Uploaded on Apr 23, 2011 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGDn4kSLn54 (video is borked but I managed to salvage the audio).</p> <p>Dr. Surridge is helping start PLoS ONE, an effort to democratize scientific contribution, access, review, and merit. This exciting new journal publishes scientifically sound research regardless of subjective criteria such as "likely impact" or "reader interest". Following publication, readers comment, annotate, and rate each paper, adding value to the work as time goes on. Dr. Surridge will talk of the progress to date, and the challenges that lie ahead.</p> <p>OpenWetWare<br>Speaker/Copyright Owner: Chris Surridge<br>Host: OpenWetWare</p> <p> </p
