"Tabula Rasa: Vanderbilt University Journal of Medical Humanities" is accepting art and written submissions for its 2012-2013 issue, which will have the theme "Tick Tock." The deadline for submissions is Feb. 1.

How do people - patients and their families, health care providers, students and members of the community - experience the passage of time in medicine? For some, time moves with agonizing slowness, while for others, it rushes by in leaps and bounds.

This year's issue of "Tabula Rasa" explores this subjective perception of time\; writers and artists may wish to recall the past, speculate on an uncertain future or evoke a memory where time was of the essence.

Submissions are welcome from the public. Please include your name, title, address and phone number, as well as a brief bio and picture that will accompany your piece if selected.

Please send submissions or any questions to vutabularasa@gmail.com - Click Here

As you may know, Vanderbilt has recently launched two new genomic research resources: VANTAGE (VANderbilt Technologies for Advanced GEnomics) and VANGARD (VANderbilt Technologies for Advanced Genomics Analysis and Research Design). These cores have been established to work together to assist researchers in experimental design and results evaluation.

VANTAGE/VANGARD will hold weekly Genomic Design Studios which offer a panel of experts to review research proposals set forth by those in the Vanderbilt research community. These studios are run more like office hours and do not require a formal presentation. We invite you to read more about VANGARD by logging onto the VANGARD home page where you can find the link to register for the weekly VANTAGE/VANGARD Genomic Design Studios.

For seniors, beginners, and those returning to exercise after an absence, Stretch and Tone offers a foundation in fitness with seated or standing aerobic exercise, muscle strengthening with light handheld weights and other props such as the Balance Disk, Magic Circle, resistance bands and small play balls.

Yoga stretches all of the muscle groups for improvement in flexibility and muscle tone and is also great for relaxation and stress release (Hatha and various other styles incorporated).

This is a 30 minute total body conditioning class mixed with cardio sports drills, kickboxing, abs and strength. There is a new mix every week.

As you may know, Vanderbilt has recently launched two new genomic research resources: VANTAGE (VANderbilt Technologies for Advanced GEnomics) and VANGARD (VANderbilt Technologies for Advanced Genomics Analysis and Research Design). These cores have been established to work together to assist researchers in experimental design and results evaluation.

VANTAGE/VANGARD will hold weekly Genomic Design Studios which offer a panel of experts to review research proposals set forth by those in the Vanderbilt research community. These studios are run more like office hours and do not require a formal presentation. We invite you to read more about VANGARD by logging onto the VANGARD home page where you can find the link to register for the weekly VANTAGE/VANGARD Genomic Design Studios.

As part of the Surgery Research Collaborative speaker series, Colleen Brophy, M.D., professor of Surgery in the Division of Vascular Surgery, will present, "Enhancing Vein Graft Patency: Clinic to Bench to Patient."

Dr. Brophy's research is focusing on ways to improve vein graft patency. This work has led to the development of new techniques to harvest and prepare saphenous veins without injury.

The Department of Surgery Research Collaborative was developed to provide synergy between the basic sciences and clinical research as a means of enhancing research opportunities within the Section of Surgical Sciences.

Hosted by: Department of Surgery

The Collaborative hosts open meetings the second Tuesday of every month in the Hermitage Room at the University Club from 5:00 - 6:30 p.m., offering opportunities for informal discussion as well as presentations from both the basic sciences and translational research. Section faculty, residents, fellows and staff are invited and strongly encouraged to attend.

Refreshments are provided.

This is a strength training workout emphasizing toning and muscle definition with high reps\; targets every major muscle group.

Open to the Public

Location: Vanderbilt Center for Integrative Health, 3401 West End Avenue, Suite 380-3rd Floor (Directions - Click Here)

Cost: Covered by most insurance (co-pays may apply) or option to self-pay. Registration: To register call the front desk at (615) 343-1554. *If you are not a patient at VCIH, please call and ask to speak with Tobi about participation in the group.

This weekly experiential group will provide an opportunity for women to:

-connect and build community with other women

-learn and practice mindfulness skills to deepen awareness, decrease pain and anxiety and increase capacity for joy

-support one another in our struggles with physical and emotional pain and illness

-nurture and grow our relationships with ourselves and others

-celebrate life, love, and the strength of our own true hunger

Tobi Fishel is the Director of Psychological Services for the Vanderbilt Center for Integrative Health. She teaches and incorporates mindfulness-based practices, body-centered therapy and expressive arts into her clinical practice. The guiding principle in her work is encouraging a deepening relationship with the innate gifts of one's own soul.

The Vanderbilt Institute of Chemical Biology presents Dr. William Jorgensen, "Drug Discovery Accelerated by Computational Methods"

Abstract

Drug discovery is being pursued through computer-aided design, synthesis, biological assaying, and crystallography. Lead identification features de novo design with the ligand growing program BOMB or docking of commercial compound libraries. The cheminformatics program QikProp is applied to filter candidate molecules to ensure that they have drug-like properties. The focus of this lecture will be optimization of the resultant leads to yield potent inhibitors. Specifically, Monte Carlo/free-energy perturbation simulations are executed to identify the most promising choices for substituents on rings, heterocycles, and linking groups. The designed compounds are then synthesized and assayed. Successful application has been achieved for HIV reverse transcriptase, FGFR1 kinase, and human and Plasmodium falciparum macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF)\; micromolar leads have been rapidly advanced to low nanomolar or picomolar inhibitors.

Research

Organic, medicinal, and computational chemistry including simulations of organic and enzymatic reactions, computer-aided drug design, and synthesis and development of therapeutic agents targeting infectious, inflammatory, and hyperproliferative diseases.

Our approach features focused synthetic organic chemistry driven by state-of-the-art molecular design. The computations center on modeling protein-inhibitor complexes including docking for virtual high-throughput screening, growing of combinatorial libraries inside binding sites with BOMB, and lead-optimization guided by Monte Carlo free-energy simulations. Synthesis and optimization of the most promising leads are performed in our laboratory, and biological testing and crystallography are pursued with collaborators. The approach has allowed efficient discovery of extraordinarily potent anti-HIV, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer agents. Current protein targets include HIV-1 reverse transcriptase, MIF, hDM2, hDMX, Tdp1, and FGFR1 kinase.

The aims include elucidation of reaction mechanisms, medium effects on reaction rates, and effects of site-specific mutations on enzymatic reactions. A QM/MM approach is taken\; the energetics of the reacting systems are described quantum mechanically with ab initio, DFT, or advanced semiempirical QM methods such as our PDDG/PM3 procedure. The environment including solvent molecules are represented using molecular mechanics and the sampling is normally performed with Monte Carlo statistical mechanics. Our group is also recognized as a leader in the development of force fields for water, organic and biomolecular systems and in the development of comprehensive software for molecular modeling (BOSS and MCPRO).
