THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 2,2024. Opened in 1988, the Pennington Center now houses 53 laboratories that span the Center''''s three programs - Basic Research, Clinical Research, and Population Science - nineteen Core Service laboratories, inpatient and outpatient clinics, a research kitchen, an administrative area, and more than $20 million in technologically advanced equipment. The Center was expanded in 1993 to include the C.B. Pennington Jr. Conference Center, now the C.B. Pennington Jr. Building, residence apartments, and an exercise and fitness facility. More than 80 faculty members and over 600 physicians, scientists, and support personnel focus their research efforts on 10 research program areas: Epidemiology and Prevention, Physical Activity and Health, Cancer, Diabetes, Obesity, Neurodegeneration, Genomics and Molecular Genetics, Stem Cell and Developmental Biology, Neurobiology, and Nutrient Sensing and Signaling. The Pennington Center is led by Dr. Steven B. Heymsfield, formerly of Merck Pharmaceuticals, who specializes in clincal research. The Center''''s funding is broad-based. The foundation is provided by an annual appropriation from the State of Louisiana. Additional funding is provided by grants and contracts from the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Department of Defense, and private sector organizations and companies. The Pennington Medical Foundation and Pennington Biomedical Research Foundation are also major financial resources. The Pennington Medical Foundation is charged with administering the original donation and subsequent gifts from the C.B. Pennington family and establishing guidelines for investments and expenditures.

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/

Catalog of published genome-wide association studies. Genome-wide set of genetic variants in different individuals to see if any variant is associated with trait and disease. Database of genome-wide association study (GWAS) publications including only those attempting to assay single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Publications are organized from most to least recent date of publication. Studies are identified through weekly PubMed literature searches, daily NIH-distributed compilations of news and media reports, and occasional comparisons with an existing database of GWAS literature (HuGE Navigator). Works with HANCESTRO ancestry representation.

The Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center (CNADC) is a multidisciplinary organization dedicated to conducting research to discover how the brain coordinates mental functions such as memory, language, attention, and emotion; transferring the benefits of this research to patients with brain diseases that impair cognitive function; and training researchers and clinicians who want to work in this field. The CNADC's mission is to investigate the neurological basis of cognitive function, to elucidate causes of dementia, and to ensure that the patients and their families are the beneficiaries of resultant discoveries. * Clinical Services: Neurobehavior and Memory Health Clinical Services * Annual Grant Opportunities: Annual Core Pilot Project Funding Opportunities * Research Areas & Faculty: Alzheimer's Disease / Primary Progressive Aphasia / Frontal Dementia, Brain Endowment (Brains are permanently stored, and requests for tissue for research purposes are submitted to Dr. Bigio for review by the Northwestern Alzheimer's Disease Center); Cognitive Brain Mapping Group, Volunteer For A Study * Fellowships: Neuropathology Fellowship, Behavioral Neurology & Neuropsychiatry Fellowship * Training Programs: Mechanisms of Aging and Dementia (M.A.D.)

http://www.iucnredlist.org/

A global evaluation of the conservation status of plant and animal species. The IUCN Red List plays a prominent role in guiding conservation activities of governments, NGOs and scientific institutions. The introduction in 1994 of a scientifically rigorous approach to determine risks of extinction that is applicable to all species, has become a world standard. In order to produce The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the IUCN Global Species Programme working with the IUCN Survival Commission (SSC) and with members of IUCN draws on and mobilizes a network of scientists and partner organizations working in almost every country in the world, who collectively hold what is likely the most complete scientific knowledge base on the biology and conservation status of species. The IUCN Red List is underpinned by information management tools (the Species Information Service) which facilitate the collection, management and processing of species data from workshop to publication on The IUCN Red List.
