Dr. Gassman's talk is going to explore the use of a novel DNA damage assessment method to understand DNA damage and repair defects caused by exogenous agents and how persistent DNA damage changes cells and their microenvironment, particularly in the context of cancer.

Despite decades of progress in neuroimaging and systems neuroscience, we still lack a wiring diagram of the human brain. This gap reflects fundamental constraints of species and scale: invasive tract-tracing methods cannot be applied in humans, while whole-brain reconstruction in large nonhuman primates remains technically and computationally challenging. As a result, diffusion MRI-based tractography, our primary tool for mapping human white matter, remains only loosely anchored to ground-truth axonal anatomy.

Dr. Lindsay Oberman is a staff scientist and directs the Developmental Clinical Neurophysiology and Neurostimulation Research Program within the National Institute of Mental Health Intramural Research Program. She has gained international attention for pioneering the use of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in complex neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders including autism, mood disorders, and traumatic brain injury. Her talk will review the current evidence for TMS protocols for Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Nephrology Grand Rounds are the primary teaching conference of the Division of
Nephrology. Both clinical and basic science topics pertinent to nephrology are
presented at this conference. Each fellow, guided by a faculty-mentor, will
present once a year. Speakers from outside the Division of Nephrology and Duke
University will also be incorporated into the conference schedule.

Community-engaged and community-partnered research can help ensure that research is grounded in context and positioned to contribute to meaningful social change. At the same time, building effective research partnerships with communities can be complex.

Duke Assistant Professor of History Justin Leroy welcomes Woody Holton, Professor of History at the University of South Carolina, to kickoff the 26/27 Atlantic Worlds Workshop Series.

Holton's book, Liberty Is Sweet: The Hidden History of the American Revolution (Simon & Schuster, 2021), is "a deeply researched and bracing retelling" of the American Revolution, showing how the Founders were influenced by overlooked Americans- women, Native Americans, African Americans, and religious dissenters.
