Neuropathic pain feels like burning, stabbing, or pins and needles and current treatment isn’t great, but Feinstein Institutes’ scientists Weiguo Song and Stavros Zanos discovered that targeted spinal ultrasound (tsFUS) might be a good option because it can reduce pain and neuroinflammation.

I hope you can make it to our Mitochondrial Conference next month (see below). I have been working on mitochondrial function and targets since I was a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Mark Mattson's lab. This historical perspective has allowed me to witness and in some cases contribute to some remarkable achievements for so-called mitochondrial medicine - still an under-recognized area of research for many diseases such as Alzheimer's. So please come to our meeting and learn more about our work on mitochondrial dysfunction and new targets for treatment: https://lnkd.in/ebn-eGRn

Join Naveen Jayaprakash for an exciting overview of our ongoing effort to map the microscopic structure of the human vagus nerve!

Call for research collaboration in peptide therapeutics The Peptidomimetic Development initiative is a collaborative effort between Yousef Al-Abed of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research and César de la Fuente and Marcelo Der Torossian Torres of the University of Pennsylvania. We are seeking research collaborators to help advance the exciting field of stabilized peptide therapeutics. We invite investigators with peptide-based experimental agents that have demonstrated specific activity in vitro and efficacy in preclinical models to collaborate. Ideal collaborators should have: A peptide therapeutic candidate with validated biological activity, current funding for related research and prior or forthcoming publications in the field. Upon successful grant funding, collaborators will receive complimentary access to: State-of-the-art peptidomimetic synthesis platform, encompassing design, synthesis, in vitro stability assessments, and pharmacokinetics for lead candidates. State-of-the-art computational analysis, comprehensive modeling, and AI-driven insights to optimize the stability, binding affinity, and therapeutic potential of your peptide targets. Co-authorship on publications resulting from collaborative research. Co-inventorship opportunities on new patents. Why participate now? To leverage these collaborative resources fully, your peptide targets must be included in our current NIH grant submission (deadline: May 15th, 2025). For more info, please reach out to Yousef Al-Abed (yalabed@northwell.edu) #peptides #peptidomimetic #therapeutic #science #innovation

The Bioelectronic Medicine Summit, co-chaired by Stavros Zanos and Hubert Lim, brought together science, medicine and business professionals to explore the potential of bioelectronic medicine in treating chronic diseases. The summit showcased the latest research in biomaterials, therapeutic ultrasound, neuromodulation and vagus nerve stimulation, for a variety of conditions. "Bioelectronic medicine is one of the fastest growing fields in all of science, and this growth is fueled by exciting collaborations between immunologists, neuroscientists, and biomedical engineers.” - Kevin J. Tracey, president and CEO of the Feinstein Institutes. Learn more about the event: https://bit.ly/4l2VRJh Benjamin Sahn Chad Bouton John Rogers

Five years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we remember the impact it had on our world and the lessons we learned. We honor the dedication of our healthcare workers who bravely faced the unknown – their resilience won’t be forgotten. As we look forward, continued research is critical to enhancing our understanding of COVID-19 and bolstering our preparedness for future health challenges. At the Feinstein Institutes, we are committed to this effort and are currently conducting research exploring immune responses to infection.
