SUMMARY:CUNY SPH Grand Rounds with Dr. Nancy Krieger\, PhD
DESCRIPTION:Inheritance & Health: What Really Matters for Health Equity?Considering History\, Jim Crow\, and Racialized Economic Segregation\nNancy Krieger\, PhD\nProfessor of Social Epidemiology\nHarvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health \nWhat type of inheritance truly matters for the people’s health? This question gains new urgency as genomics and precision medicine take center stage in US biomedicine\, taxes for corporations and the wealthy are slashed\, regulations and programs to protect the environment and public health are undermined\, and racism and coddling of white supremacy are evident at the highest levels of the US government. Guidance is perhaps surprisingly offered by the work of Wilhelm Johannsen\, who in 1909 coined the terms “gene\,” “genotype\,”

SUMMARY:Large-scale microbial ecological interaction networks from shotgun metagenomics with the NESRA algorithm
DESCRIPTION:Shotgun Metagenomics studies the microbial diversity of specific environments\, including the human body. It allows obtaining snapshots of the taxonomic composition and functional potential of a microbial community (microbiome). These microbiome characteristics are niche-specific and are shaped by biochemical factors\, such as oxygen and nutrients availability\, pH\, and temperature. The thousands of bacteria\, archaea\, viruses\, and micro eukaryotes in a microbiome are cross-interacting through ecological relations of mutualism\, commensalism\, and parasitism. However\, despite their relevance\, the network of interactions between microbes in microbiomes are not yet well understood\, and methods that can scale up to thousands of samples are not available. Here we propose a new method to build microbe-microbe interaction networks\, and apply it to thousands of microbiomes from the curatedMetagenomicData resource\, a collaboration between CUNY and the University of Trento providing the largest collection of consistently processed shotgun metagenomics datasets available. We considered as features the relative abundances of each species in >4400 human gut microbiome samples from healthy individuals. Preliminary experiments show that our method can easily scale to the number of samples present in the curatedMetagenomicData. Other methods we tested\, i.e. CCREPE and SPIEC-EASI\, fail to scale to the same number of input samples. The results we obtained provided preliminary insights about the interactions between microbes in the healthy human gut microbiome. In particular\, several Bacteroides genera belonging to the Bacteroidetes phylum showed a positive correlation among each other\, suggesting that specific host and environment have a similar impact on these phylogenetically related organisms. Interestingly\, we found nodes with a high number of connections to involve genera that are usually of low abundance and understudied\, thus confirming that some interactions would need to be further explored. We foresee the possibility to use the reconstructed networks to characterize microbiome types.\nAbout the Speaker \nFrancesco Asnicar is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Trento\, Italy\, supervised by Prof. Enrico Blanzieri at the Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science (DISI) and Prof. Nicola Segata at the Laboratory Computational Metagenomics at the Centre for Integrative Biology (CIBIO). Francesco’s main work is studying the microbiome through shotgun metagenomics\, by developing new computational analysis tools\, with a particular interest on microbial ecology and phylogenomics analysis. \nRSVP HERE

SUMMARY:Mental Health Methods Series: Advancing Research Methodologies in Global Mental Heath
DESCRIPTION:The imbalance between the burden of mental disorders and the investments made to addressing it is indicated by the 10/90 gap: where 10% of global spending on research is directed towards the problems that affect the poorest 90% of the world’s population (Saxena et al.\, 2006). This research gap disproportionately affects low-and middle-income countries more than high-income countries because prevention and treatment for mental disorders rely on cultural norms. The dearth of research is problematic for the design of policies and organization of practice globally. Addressing this gap\, this talk starts with an overview of research methodologies in vogue within the global mental health epistemic community. I draw on my own publications\, as well as those of my colleagues. I conclude by discussing promising avenues of research. Presented by Gordon Shen\, PhD\, Assistant Professor of Health Policy and Management at CUNY GSPHHP.

SUMMARY:Systems Change Series - Dr. Kayla de la Haye
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Kayla de la Haye will be discussing how the complex web of family\, friend\, and peer relationships in which we are embedded–i.e.\, our social networks–influence eating\, physical activity\, and obesity\, and how the dynamics of our evolving behaviors and social networks shape population obesity rates. The talk will outline intervention and policy strategies that have the potential to activate\, harness\, or alter social networks and broader social-ecological systems\, so that these social contexts play a more supportive role in the prevention and treatment of obesity.She has examined the spread of obesity in social networks\, and produced innovative findings that peer network effects on obesity-related behaviors are important mechanisms underpinning this phenomenon. And she collaborates on several projects that explore how social-ecological systems influence health behaviors (diet\, physical activity\, substance use) in youth and families\, and is working to develop interventions that activate and harness social networks to increase healthy behaviors and reduce disease risk among at-risk populations. \nDr. Kayla de la Haye is an Assistant Professor of Preventive Medicine at the University of Southern California\, and specializes in applying social network analysis and systems science to health promotion and disease prevention. She is also is a member of the Board of Directors of the International Network of Social Network Analysis (INSNA)\, and is a consulting editor for Connections (the official journal of INSNA). She holds a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Adelaide in Australia. \nRSVP
