Lopez, M.D., Ph.D., has received a nearly $1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to expand the current understanding of the role of a TGF-beta transcription factor in the dysregulation of microRNA in Duchenne muscular dystrophy.  The goal is to identify aberrant pathways that can be modulated to mitigate DMD pathophysiology.

Jeffrey Blount, M.D., M.P.H, is the director and co-founder of the Global Alliance for the Prevention of Spina Bifida (GAPSBiF). This
organization seeks to use science-based advocacy to promote global fortification of food and salt with folic acid for the prevention
of spina bifida. One of the enabling objectives to accomplish this larger objective was to update and review best available world
literature on folic acid fortification. This resulted in a landmark presentation in Lancet Global Health that addressed and summarized
this topic. Ongoing work is underway to use these reviews to support a WHO/WHA General Assembly Resolution supporting global
folic acid fortification.

The University of Alabama at Birmingham Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Unit created the Golden Week program to improve outcomes for infants born prematurely at 28 weeks’ gestation or earlier. The program has resulted in a 30 percent relative risk reduction in infant mortality or severe intraventricular hemorrhage within the first week of life.

Through the Golden Week program, we have standardized care that infants receive during their first week of life, ultimately improving their survival rates. The program provides guidance for physicians and nurses on clinical and nonclinical aspects of caring for an extremely preterm newborn.
