The Feinstein Institutes

Could a common breast cancer drug help treat thousands living with a bleeding disorder known as HHT, or hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia? New research from Philippe Marambaud, PhD at the Feinstein Institutes explores this exciting possibility. A study, published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, reveals that this rare disorder could cause certain cells in the endothelium of the blood vessels to multiply via a cancer-like mechanism of abnormal cell growth, opening new avenues for treatments.

Come work with us! If you are interested in studying the neural regulation of immunity, we are looking to hire a Research Associate in our lab. This is an ideal position for someone looking to work in an active lab environment at a leading biomedical research institute, The Feinstein Institutes at Northwell Health. Prior research experience, particularly with preclinical models or in vitro cell culture, is preferred but not required. This would also be good for a recent college graduate who is interested in doing some research prior to medical or graduate school. #neuroscience #immunology #TranslationalScience #BioelectronicMedicine Please spread the word around LinkedIn!

Heart disease, asthma, and colitis might not seem connected, but they share a surprising link: chronic inflammation plays a significant role in all these conditions, as well as obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes. What if there was an effective, drug-free way to target chronic inflammation? That's what Kevin J. Tracey and researchers at The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research are uncovering— stimulating the vagus nerve may help manage inflammation and potentially offer a breakthrough for treating these conditions and more.

Round of applause?? Aidan Falvey, PhD, Valentin Pavlov, PhD, Miklos Argyelan and their colleagues were given the Award of Excellence in Research from the Feinstein Institutes this October – a quarterly recognition for outstanding published work. Aidan, Valentin, and their lab’s research was published in the Brain, Behavior and Immunity that looked at how electrical stimulation of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus in male mice can regulate inflammation without affecting heart rate. https://bit.ly/3YJomSd (PNIRS) Miklos and his team published in the Springer Nature journal of Molecular Psychiatry for their study on electroconvulsive therapy-induced volumetric brain changes converging on a common causal circuit in depression: https://bit.ly/3UHYXqC Thank you for your work and contributions to improving human health. #science #research #depression #vagusnerve

From the battlefield to the operating room, Jared Huston, MD, FACS and his team of scientists at the Feinstein Institutes are developing the neural tourniquet, which uses vagus nerve stimulation to tap into the body’s nervous system to stop uncontrollable bleeding. This technology could have profound implications on how we treat bleeding after childbirth, car accidents and even in war. How does it work? Watch below. ??

Mark your calendar ?? for next week’s Tuesday Talks with Kevin J. Tracey, MD, president of The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health. Tracey, known as the founding father of bioelectronic medicine, sat down with Cure CEO?Seema Kumar?during #biofuture2024,?produced by Demy-Colton,?where he explored the latest advances in bioelectronic medicine and how these innovations could transform disease management using electrical pulses instead of drugs. Register today!

Mark your calendars for April 27-29, 2025 for the Mitochondrial Transplantation and Next Generation Therapeutics Conference! ?? Join us for the first international conference to focus on the rapidly growing science behind mitochondrial transplantation, a new method for treating mitochondrial dysfunction that shows promise for many diseases from acute injuries of the heart and brain, to aging and dementia and more. The event will feature inspiring research, clinical insights, networking opportunities and a chance for new scientists to shine. Submit your abstract for oral presentation and posters, and have a chance to win a special Early Career Investigator Award. Deadline: January 30, 2025. Early bird registration is open.

“I'm so grateful to have the chance to talk about how women can benefit from excellent care and ground-breaking science. This award is one for the team; none of us do this work alone.” — Dr. Cohn Elizabeth Cohn, RN, PhD, FAAN , Institute of Health Systems Science professor at the Feinstein Institutes, was honored as a 2024 Anthem Whole Health Hero and had the opportunity to take the field with the New York Mets a few weeks ago. Her work establishing the Women's Integrated Network for Research (WIN for Research) is driving crucial advancements in menopause, mental health, and maternal health.

Big research news from the The Feinstein Institutes! ?? Thanks to a $5 million gift from the Karches family, the Feinstein Institutes has launched its 6th institute - the Institute of Translational Research! This new institute, which bridges bench-to-bedside approaches to find solutions to chronic diseases, is lead by Doug Nixon, MD, the Karches Family Professor in Translational Research. Their generous gift also establishes the Karches Family Laboratory to support the institute’s mission. “Philanthropy strengthens the Feinstein Institutes’ ability to recruit the best and brightest leaders in their fields,” said Susan Karches. “My family is proud to support this gift, which we hope empowers Dr. Nixon and his team to pioneer innovative solutions for chronic illness and disease, ultimately improving health outcomes for patients worldwide.” Read more about this exciting gift and the new institute at https://bit.ly/4eXxXLv
