Program

The Demystifying Medicine Series includes presentations of patients, pathology, diagnosis, and therapy in the context of major disease problems and current research. Primarily directed toward Ph.D. students, clinicians and program managers, the course is designed to help bridge the gap between advances in biology and their application to major human diseases. Each session includes clinical and basic science components presented by NIH staff and invitees. This special Research Festival symposium will consist of the first hour (10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.) focusing on searching for answers to diseases of unknown etiology with Drs. Craig Blackstone and William Gahl . The second hour (11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.) will focus on "how do we respond to changes in a virus and the host?" with Drs. Frank Maldarelli and John Coffin.
