Dr. Howard Gendelman Receives Prestigious Javits Investigator<\/p>\n

Award from the National Institutes of Health<\/p>\n

Howard Gendelman, M.D., an internationally renown neuroscientist at<\/p>\n

the University of Nebraska Medical Center, has received the Jacob Javits<\/p>\n

Neuroscience Investigator Award from the National Institute of Neurological<\/p>\n

Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), a division of the National Institutes of<\/p>\n

Health.<\/p>\n

The Javits Award is the most prestigious honor bestowed by the NINDS<\/p>\n

in support of biomedical research on the brain and is awarded to only the<\/p>\n

most outstanding neuroscientists in the country. It will provide approximately<\/p>\n

$3 million in funding in support of Dr. Gendelmans research over the next<\/p>\n

seven years. The award is made in two segments an initial four-year award<\/p>\n

with an additional three years of support after internal administrative<\/p>\n

review.<\/p>\n

The Javits Award is a tremendous honor. Dr. Gendelman is very productive<\/p>\n

and is viewed as a leader in his area of expertise, said Al Kerza-Kwiatecki,<\/p>\n

Ph.D., program director for infectious diseases of the nervous system at<\/p>\n

the NINDS.<\/p>\n

I think the Javits Award sends a strong message that UNMC is making<\/p>\n

impressive strides in its research efforts on neurodegenerative disorders,<\/p>\n

said Harold M. Maurer, M.D., UNMC chancellor. It is among the best in<\/p>\n

the nation, and we are very proud of this accomplishment. The fact that<\/p>\n

a large portion of the proposed work will come from alternative sources<\/p>\n

other than fetal cells demonstrates the commitment and progress made by<\/p>\n

our scientists.<\/p>\n

The criteria for the Javits Award is that it is given to distinguished<\/p>\n

investigators who have a record of substantial contribution on the cutting<\/p>\n

edge of neurological sciences and who can be expected to be highly productive<\/p>\n

for a seven-year period.<\/p>\n

Dr. Gendelman was recognized for his many discoveries in brain research,<\/p>\n

notably how the brains immune system works in normal circumstances and<\/p>\n

how it becomes altered during neurodegenerative disorders such as AIDS-related<\/p>\n

dementia and Alzheimers disease. Dr. Gendelman has developed novel therapeutic<\/p>\n

efforts based on improving normal brain function in disease and reversing<\/p>\n

brain cell injury during disease. The research looks at how immune cells<\/p>\n

get into the brain from blood, effect brain function and the means to reverse<\/p>\n

the process.<\/p>\n

The NINDS Advisory Council, which bestowed the Javits Award on Dr. Gendelman,<\/p>\n

was especially enthusiastic about his breadth of scientific disciplines<\/p>\n

and discoveries.  Eight distinct approaches for studying the brain,<\/p>\n

in health and disease, are used in Dr. Gendelmans research, including<\/p>\n

cell lines, tissue culture methods, animal model systems and, most important,<\/p>\n

cells obtained from rapid brain autopsies.<\/p>\n

The use of fetal cells from elective abortions by the UNMC Center for<\/p>\n

Neurovirology and Neurodegenerative Diseases (CNND) has been the focus<\/p>\n

of a statewide controversy the past 16 months. This is the first public<\/p>\n

health service funding that the Gendelman team has received in which rapid<\/p>\n

autopsies are used to address important scientific questions involving<\/p>\n

the brain.<\/p>\n

The review panel was particularly enthusiastic about such approaches,<\/p>\n

calling the research outstanding and stating that the outcome is likely<\/p>\n

to be of immense importance. It further stated: The unique nature of<\/p>\n

this experimental approach and the track record of the investigator suggest<\/p>\n

that the proposal be viewed favorably.<\/p>\n

Dr. Gendelmans grant received an extraordinarily high score, ranking<\/p>\n

in the top 1  percent of all grants reviewed by this national committee.<\/p>\n

Hes continuously very innovative in his grant applications and consistently<\/p>\n

scores very high on his scientific merits, said Dr. Kerza-Kwiatecki. It<\/p>\n

puts a stamp of approval that we trust the quality of his research enough<\/p>\n

that we believe he will continue to be productive over the next seven years.<\/p>\n

Thats quite a benefit to give a scientist this kind of vote of confidence,<\/p>\n

as its very time consuming to make scientists submit new documentation<\/p>\n

every couple years so their progress can be monitored.<\/p>\n

Dr. Gendelmans center is doing everything possible to try to find<\/p>\n

alternative sources, said Samuel Cohen, M.D., Ph.D., professor and chairman<\/p>\n

of the Department of Pathology and Microbiology. A ban on fetal cell research<\/p>\n

would prevent the continuance of this research in Nebraska and would be<\/p>\n

a devastating loss to the university and to the Nebraska patients and students<\/p>\n

that we serve. This research holds tremendous promise for advancing treatments<\/p>\n

against neurodegenerative disorders.<\/p>\n

The rapid brain autopsy program, one important focus of this work, was<\/p>\n

developed last year by UNMC as a possible mechanism for procuring the three<\/p>\n

types of brain cells used in UNMCs research into neurodestructive diseases<\/p>\n

such as Alzheimers disease and AIDS-related dementia. For the cells obtained<\/p>\n

from a rapid brain autopsy to be suitable for research, the autopsy must<\/p>\n

be performed within two hours of a persons death.<\/p>\n

Astrocytes, microglia and neurons make up the three types of cells needed<\/p>\n

for UNMCs research into neurodegenerative diseases. Astrocytes and microglia<\/p>\n

are the support cells for neurons and constitute the brain tissue. Neurons<\/p>\n

are the most critical cells for brain function. They work to receive and<\/p>\n

send out electrical signals throughout the body and are instrumental for<\/p>\n

normal thinking and motor function.<\/p>\n

Dr. Gendelmans research team has been successful in obtaining astrocytes<\/p>\n

and microglia from rapid autopsies. Only a handful of institutions in the<\/p>\n

world have ever been able to successfully isolate cells from rapid autopsies,<\/p>\n

and no institution has been able to recover mature neurons from the rapid<\/p>\n

autopsy procedure. UNMC has committed more than $400,000 to this program.<\/p>\n

This award is a terrific milestone and is shared among all our scientists,<\/p>\n

said Dr. Gendelman, the David T. Purtilo Distinguished Professor of Pathology<\/p>\n

and Microbiology and director of the CNND. It is a great testament to<\/p>\n

the support of UNMC and the citizens of Nebraska for our research.<\/p>\n

The Javits Award is named in honor of the late Sen. Jacob Javits (R-NY),<\/p>\n

who was a victim of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a degenerative neurological<\/p>\n

disorder also known as Lou Gehrigs disease. Sen. Javits was a strong advocate<\/p>\n

for support of research in a wide variety of disorders of the brain and<\/p>\n

nervous system.<\/p>\n

This marks the second major award received by Dr. Gendelman in the past<\/p>\n

year. Last March, he was named a J. William Fulbright Research Scholar,<\/p>\n

the most prestigious honor bestowed by the Fulbright Program.<\/p>\n

As a Fulbright Research Scholar, Dr. Gendelman served as a scientific<\/p>\n

ambassador for the United States, studying nerve regeneration for eight<\/p>\n

months at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. The Weizmann Institute<\/p>\n

is considered one of the leading centers in the world in neurosciences<\/p>\n

research especially investigation into how nerve cell damage in the spinal<\/p>\n

cord and brain can be regenerated.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
