IRP Neuroscience Webinar (Part 1) - Carlos Zarate, NIH Clinician Scientist
on channel: NIH IRP (Intramural Research Program at the National Institutes of Health)
"Between Thought and Therapy: Translating Neurobiology Research into Treatments" (Part 1, featuring Dr. Carlos Zarate)
This webinar explores how translational neurobiology research is being conducted in the Intramural Research Program (IRP) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in disorders as diverse as depression, age-related macular degeneration, and Gaucher's disease. Our panelists all conduct translational research across the full bench-to-bedside continuum, with the ultimate goal of developing novel paradigms for the treatment of a range of diseases and improving quality of life for patients.
Carlos A. Zarate, M.D., is a Senior Investigator in the Section on the Neurobiology and Treatment of Mood Disorders and Experimental Therapeutics and Pathophysiology Branch (ETPB) at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).

Our expert panel will:
• Share their experiences of applying basic research at the bedside
• Discuss the best environments for conducting translational research
• Provide advice on working in new experimental systems, such as stem cells

The IRP is the internal research program of the NIH, known for its synergistic approach to biomedical science. With 1,200 principal investigators and more than 4,000 postdoctoral fellows conducting basic, translational, and clinical research, the IRP is the largest biomedical research institution on Earth. Its unique funding environment means the IRP can facilitate opportunities to conduct both long-term and high-impact science that would otherwise be difficult to undertake.
