bio/acc PodcastImmune-Based Therapies with Dr. Victor Nizet (Ep. 4)Dr. Victor Nizet, Professor of Pediatrics and Vice Chair for Basic Research at UC San Diego details some of the innovative approaches being used in his lab to fight infectious disease, namely, host-targeted immune based therapies. We discuss many of the major problems in infectious disease, including antibiotic resistance, novel drug mechanisms, and the challenges of developing sepsis therapies (and how the Nizet Lab is working to combat them). 2025-02-1247 min
microTalkCHARMing the Superbugs with Dr. Victor NizetAntibiotic resistant bacteria are threatening modern society by making antibiotics obsolete. Dr. Nizet is a Professor and Vice Chair in the Department of Pediatrics at UCSD, as well as the faculty lead for the UCSD Collaborative to Halt Antibiotic-Resistant Microbes (CHARM). His laboratory studies how the human immune system interacts with microbial pathogens, with particular focus on antibiotic resistant bacteria and how to treat them. Dr. Nizet discusses how his training as a physician helps drive the research in his laboratory, how repurposing therapeutic drugs could help fight antimicrobial resistance, how taking advantage of host immune responses...2024-05-0853 min
Inflammatory Content#15: Antimicrobial resistance with Dr. Victor Nizet, M.D.In this episode, Kellen interviews Dr. Victor Nizet, a distinguished professor of pediatrics and pharmaceutical sciences at UCSD and the vice chair of basic research in the department of pediatrics at UCSD. Kellen and Victor discuss one of the Nizet lab’s recent publications (led by Josh Sun, Pharm.D. Ph.D.) identifying novel treatment strategies for Staph aureus-induced sepsis. Kellen and Victor also talk about Victor’s career path and scientific philosophies.S. aureus-induced sepsis paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9121309/Nizet lab website: http://nizetlab.ucsd.edu/Vict...2022-06-191h 08
Public Health (Audio)The Antibiotic Resistance Crisis - Exploring EthicsThe rise in antibiotic resistance poses one of the greatest challenges to public health and modern medicine. The roots of the dilemma are many - overzealous use of antibiotics clinical and agricultural settings, the departure of major pharmaceutical companies from antibiotic development ,and simple Darwinian evolution of microbes. Can we lift ourselves out of the hole that we have dug? Many ethical dilemmas must be acknowledged and confronted, such as balancing restrictions on individual liberty for the protection of the public health and the well being of future generations. We must also consider just and sustainable use of this precious...2021-02-121h 24Public Health (Video)The Antibiotic Resistance Crisis - Exploring EthicsThe rise in antibiotic resistance poses one of the greatest challenges to public health and modern medicine.

CARTA - Anthropogeny (Audio)CARTA Presents: The Impact of Infectious Disease on Humans and our Origins: Victor Nizet UC San Diego; Streptococcal Molecular Mimicry: Pathogenesis Autoimmunity and VaccinesInfectious diseases have profound influences on the evolution of their host populations. In the case of humans, the host species has also shaped pathogen dynamics and virulence viaa multitude of factors from changes in social organization, group size, and exploitation of varied habitats and their animals and plant resources to agriculture, technology, rapid long-distance travel, medicine and global economic integration - which all continue to shape epidemics and the humanhost populations. This symposium will explore how infectious agents and humans have shaped each other over the eons.
