We are launching this
<a href="http://www.experiment.com/noZika4Baby">campaign</a> to help kickstart
our research on Zika virus. This project was picked up the <a href="https://www.who.int/tdr/news/2019/tdr-global-challenge-contest-finalists-research-crowdfunding/en/">World
Health Organization</a> last year, who has been helping us developing skills
for a successful crowdfunding campaign for science projects on tropical
infectious diseases in low-to-middle income countries. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
Infectious diseases are more important and visible than ever. There is still so
much we don't know about infectious disease processes—take COVID comorbidities
as an example.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Although Zika virus infection is no longer the biggest
disease on our minds, but it is still a major threat in 87 countries around the
world. It can transmit from pregnant mother to her fetus, causing all sorts of
neurological problems upon birth. At this moment, there is no drugs or vaccines
to prevent this transmission, and we are here to <a href="http://www.experiment.com/noZika4Baby">fix it</a>. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s what our project is looking to do. We are developing
a model to study Zika mother-to-child transmission! We will use this model to
understand how Zika can pass from infected pregnant mother to her unborn child,
and figure out a way to block this process. We will use this model to screen
for therapeutics, like antibodies, that can block this transmission.</p><p class="MsoNormal">
Things get even cooler. We are using 3D mini-organs (organoids) to study Zika
infection. We will generate a uterine mini-organ-on-a-chip to study the
mechanisms of Zika infection and transmission through the placenta. This can
bypass animal testing, and give us an even better setup to test therapeutics
before going into clinical trials. That’s a win-win for everybody.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With the discovery from this project, we can form a base for
developing a multi-organs system using different types of organoids. The system
will even more closely mimic the biological processes in our body! We can use
this technology as a part of drug development pipeline, disease modeling and
even studies on genetic diseases.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The <a href="http://www.experiment.com/noZika4Baby">campaign
</a>is live from October 15th - November 30th. All of your donations will be
used help use develop a platform to study Zika mother to child transmission,
and form a base for us to apply for traditional research grants later on. Let’s
help us complete this crowdfunding challenge. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal">

First off, let's address the gigantic viral elephant in the room that is COVID-19. Everyone was hit hard when the pandemic begun. We have been fortunate enough in Thailand as the disease control strategy has been quite effective in the past few months with very minimal local transmission (1 local case in 100+ days). <p></p><p data-key="227310cb323348689b438794832ccd40" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #333b3c; font-family: proxima-nova, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.968em; line-height: 1.7; margin-left: -50px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-left: 50px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span data-key="4d1a7736a92e4642afdb3571cb680d3b">That being said, we are picking things up right where we left off. The lab is back and running again. We have implemented extra safety measures for our lab members. We are working out the work flow with the OB/GYN department at the Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Thailand, to ensure that our personnel have the lowest exposure risk while interacting with volunteers and patients in the future.

<div class="MsoNormal">
Historically, during <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4303056/" target="_blank">drug </a>and vaccine development, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5751665/" target="_blank">pregnant women were rarely included in clinical trials</a> due to ethical considerations
and, more importantly, concerns over <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21766440/" target="_blank">safety </a>in pregnancy and fetal health. During the recent Ebola outbreak,
pregnant women were <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5751665/" target="_blank">denied </a><a href="https://www.devex.com/news/why-can-t-pregnant-women-be-vaccinated-during-epidemics-94079" target="_blank">access </a>to Ebola vaccines—although this decision was <a href="http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2019/02/ebola-vaccine-be-given-pregnant-lactating-women" target="_blank">reversed</a> months later in February 2019. While the safety and ethical concerns for pregnant
mothers and their fetuses regarding experimental drugs definitely have their
merits, this raises the question on how we can improve the drug development
pipeline to equally benefit everyone later on. No one should be left behind.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As the world is rushing to develop drugs and vaccines
for the new rapidly-spreading life-threatening <a href="https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019" target="_blank">coronavirus disease</a> (COVID-19), we may need to revisit the topic of how we can make sure that everyone, including pregnant women,
will equally benefit from the life-saving drugs and vaccines amidst a pending
pandemic. Unlike previously known viruses, such as <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/pregnancy/zika/testing-follow-up/zika-in-infants-children.html" target="_blank">Zika</a>, at the moment,
there is <a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(20)30360-3/fulltext" target="_blank">no evidence</a> to show that COVID-19 can pass from pregnant mothers to
their babies. Although this study is limited to mothers exposed to COVID-19 viruses
at later stages of pregnancy. Nevertheless, this brings up a good point on how
we can include some of the most vulnerable populations (pregnant mothers) in drug or vaccine development pipeline.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is a long road ahead for researchers, clinicians and
the public to find a middle ground on the inclusion of pregnant mothers during
a clinical trial for a new drug or vaccine. The threats on fetal health, whether from the diseases themselves or potential adverse effects of the drugs, make it nearly impossible to design and implement appropriate protocols. The good news is that there is a bioengineering technology that can help bypass these issues regarding drug testing for pregnant women by the use of tissue models that can mimic the biology of the uterus in the lab. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The use of uterine organoids (mini-organ in a dish) allows scientists to study the physiology of the uterus as well as <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31614364" target="_blank">disease modeling</a> and drug testing in the lab. This tissue engineering technique can be used further to mimic pregnancy condition. This platform has the potential to help researchers assess the effects and safety of experimental therapeutics in pregnant women. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here in our lab, we are using <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31633678" target="_blank">uterine organoids</a> generated from the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) to
understand how certain viruses, in our case, Zika virus, can infect the uterus, and transmit from pregnant
mother to her fetus. We are developing ways to prevent this transmission by testing candidate anti-Zika antibodies on these organoids. These organoids made for the drawbacks of traditional cell culture as they retain similar physiology to the real organ, and they bypass direct human testing. Disease modeling and drug testing on this system, therefore, are more applicable in clinical settings. This uterine mini-organ can be a powerful platform to test for effects and safety of candidate therapeutics regarding pregnant women as a part of drug and vaccine development. We hope that our study can help improve healthcare quality to ensure well-being for pregnant women and their newborns.<br />

We are launching a crowdfunding campaign soon on a project titled "<a href="https://www.who.int/tdr/news/2019/tdr-global-challenge-contest-finalists-research-crowdfunding/en/" target="_blank">Blocking Zika Mother-to-Child Transmission</a>". Stay tune. </div>

Mosquitoes have an elongated tube-shaped heart spanning their body length. A mosquito has a heart rate of about <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S002219101730183X?via%3Dihub" target="_blank">82 beats per minute</a> pumping its blood towards the mosquito's head, but sometimes in a reversed direction towards the tip of its abdomen.<br />
<br />
<br />
About the image:<br />
<a href="https://www.vanderbilt.edu/hillyerlab/Hillyer_lab.html" target="_blank">Hillyer Laboratory</a> at Vanderbilt University published an extensive study on mosquito cardiac system. The image here shows the heart tube running along the mosquito's abdomen. Here, muscle fibers are visualized by a green fluorescent dye. There is a network of muscle spiraling along the heart tube (blue arrows). The triangular bundles of muscles serve to anchor the heart to the <a href="https://news.vanderbilt.edu/2010/10/15/small-world-contest-2010/" target="_blank">mosquito</a>'s back (red arrows). <br />

Those last couple beers at your summer cookout might make you more delicious to mosquitoes!<br />
<br />
Studies from <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12083361" target="_blank">Japan </a>and <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2832015/" target="_blank">West Africa</a> showed that beer consumption made the volunteers more attractive to mosquitoes. Although beer consumption is associated with higher frequency of mosquitoes landing on your skin, these studies found that increased alcohol content in your sweat or CO<sub>2</sub> in your breath did not correlate with the volunteers' increased attractiveness to mosquitoes. The exact cause of why mosquitoes are more drawn to you after a few brewskies is still up for debate.<br />

Funding is crucial at this stage where new investigators can establish their career path.<br />
<br />
With many <a href="https://www.siliconvalley.com/2016/04/27/startups-turn-to-crowdfunding/" target="_blank">startups</a> turning to <a href="https://earlyinvesting.com/why-crowdfunding-is-best-way-to-raise-capital/" target="_blank">crowdfunding</a> to help complete their projects, you are now seeing new campaigns offering all these fun gadgets and technologies almost everyday. What crowdfunding does here is to bring you, as potential customers, closer to the companies. It generates buzz for the biz, and you get a glimpse of the products you will likely purchase. Crowdfunding connects the startup owners with broader audiences who are as passionate about the projects as they are. In turn, these audiences have a chance to be a part of the projects through small donations. While money raised from crowdfunding may not entirely replace the more traditional routes like angel funding or venture capital, it allows the people who make the campaigns to take their first few steps. <br />

Just like crowdfunding for business, crowdfunding for researches allows scientists to connect with the people they are helping. With the traditional route of research grants, you share your ideas with limited circles of people--grant reviewers, experts in the fields and that friend you asked to proofread your proposal in exchange for freshly-baked cookies. Now, with crowdfunding campaigns, you, as scientists, are sharing your ideas, hope and goal to the public. These are the people who are likely going to benefit from your next discoveries firsthand, whether it be a cure for cancer or a new anti-malaria drug or a new strain of rice with higher yield. <br />
<br />
To give back to your backers, you, the science guys, are updating them on your progress, letting them know that even just small amount of donations can drive your experiments towards the next big discovery. In a way, this is your product to give back to your backers. With the magic of the internet, crowdfunding campaigns can bridge the gap between lab bench and the public, thus increasing transparency and building trust between scientists and the general public. <br />

It is true that fund raised through crowdfunding is often far from the traditional research grants, and its success is not <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-00104-1" target="_blank">guaranteed</a>. However, a small amount of money can allow researchers to conduct some preliminary experiments, set up a new space for future projects or generate enough data to make that Figure 1 for their grant proposal. Everything counts. <br />

Crowdfunding is a relatively new and unexplored territory for scientific research communities. TDR at WHO recognizes this as a great opportunity to help researchers fund their projects given the increasing difficulties to secure research funding. Our project on "Blocking Zika Virus Mother-to-Child Transmission" won this year's TDR crowdfunding challenge. For this project, we will be using a new and innovative tissue engineering technique to study the biology of Zika virus and how it can pass from pregnant mother to her fetus. With your help through crowdfunding, we will develop a way to block this transmission and prevent the child from Zika-related complications such as microcephaly. We are set to launch our crowdfunding campaign in early 2020. Stay tune. <br />

Skin microbiota, aka a collection of unique harmless bacteria on your skin, produces chemicals that make some people <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214574517300536" target="_blank">smell </a>more <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3247224/" target="_blank">delicious </a>to mosquitoes than the others.<br />
<br />
Our skin is covered in millions of harmless bacteria. Mostly of them are<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2746716/" target="_blank"> friendly bacteria</a>. Some can even be beneficial to skin immune system and prevent other harmful bacteria from growing on our skin. Among other things, "smells" produced from these bacteria can make you smell yummy to mosquitoes. twiwatpanit594http://www.blogger.com/profile/05286243176691494196noreply@blogger.com0National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology14.0783982 100.60144190000005-16.061735300000002 59.292847900000055 44.2185317 141.91003590000005tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464697919205746737.post-29380392543427698412019-12-20T07:54:00.001+07:002019-12-20T21:50:42.966+07:00Battle against Zika Virus<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

With the rapid spread of Zika virus infection and the strong
correlation between Zika virus infection among pregnant mothers and later microcephaly
cases among their newborns (underdeveloped brain upon birth), World Health
Organization (WHO) declared Zika a <a href="https://www.who.int/emergencies/zika-virus-tmp/en/" target="_blank">Public Health Emergency</a> of International
Concern regarding microcephaly and Zika infection in early 2016. While WHO announced that Zika was no longer a global "<a href="https://www.who.int/en/news-room/detail/18-11-2016-fifth-meeting-of-the-emergency-committee-under-the-international-health-regulations-(2005)-regarding-microcephaly-other-neurological-disorders-and-zika-virus" target="_blank">emergency</a>", the risk assessment of Zika is still the same. The real meaning of it all is worse as this means Zika is here to stay, and we need a long-term strategy to control Zika virus infection. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Mosquito control programs worldwide can help slow down the
spread of Zika virus. But, that is not enough. At the moment, there is no
effective drugs or vaccines to protect the fetuses. That is where we come in, we
are trying to develop a way to prevent the spread of Zika virus from pregnant
mother to her unborn child. Our bioengineering team is trying to developing a
cell culture model to understand how Zika virus can pass from pregnant mother to her unborn child.
With this model, we can further test our anti-Zika factors to see if they can
block its transmission. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We would like to reach out and raise awareness of the
real danger of Zika virus. We are inviting you to be a part of our mission to
combat Zika viruses. We hope that you guys are as SUPER excited about developing drugs that can block Zika virus transmission, and ending its threats among
children once and for all. </div>

We are launching our <a href="https://www.who.int/tdr/news/2019/tdr-global-challenge-contest-finalists-research-crowdfunding/en/" target="_blank">crowndfunding campaign</a> soon. We were
selected as one of the finalists to receive mentorship and help from The
Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (<a href="https://www.who.int/tdr/about/en/" target="_blank">TDR</a>) at World
Health Organization to build capacity for public engagement, science
communication and crowdfunding for science. TDR and us realize that this will
allow the public to get a peek at what going on behind the lab door, how
scientific research can help solve real-world problems and, more importantly, to
get everyone involved in this effort to solve global problems concerning
Zika virus infection. Your support will help us continue to invest in research
and development to understand Zika virus transmission and how we can prevent its
spread to our children.<br />

Because of the strong correlation between Zika infection during pregnancy and the rise of microcephaly cases in Brazil, resembling prior patterns in French Polynesia other regions associated with Zika infection, WHO declared Zika virus infection a <a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/01-02-2016-who-director-general-summarizes-the-outcome-of-the-emergency-committee-regarding-clusters-of-microcephaly-and-guillain-barr%C3%A9-syndrome" target="_blank">Public Health Emergency of International Concern</a> on February 1st, 2016. Nine months later, WHO declared the <a href="https://www.who.int/en/news-room/detail/18-11-2016-fifth-meeting-of-the-emergency-committee-under-the-international-health-regulations-(2005)-regarding-microcephaly-other-neurological-disorders-and-zika-virus" target="_blank">end </a>of this "Emergency".<br />
<br />
Good news? It is the opposite. The term "emergency" here means a quick global response was needed for surveillance and to develop a cure or vaccine for Zika infection ASAP. What the end of the "emergency" really means is that <b>Zika is here to stay</b>. Scientists, researchers and policy makers need a long-term plan to study Zika virus and implement strategies to control the spread of this infection. <br />

I am part of a group of scientists at Thailand's National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (<a href="http://www.biotec.or.th/en/index.php" target="_blank">BIOTEC</a>) working together on various topics related to infectious diseases. I have come a long way since I started off my research career studying the nervous system of lobsters at Bowdoin College, ME. I went on to study age-related hearing loss and endometrial cancer risks associated with polycystic ovary syndrome for my PhD and postdoctoral years at Northwestern University, IL.<br />
<br />
Now, as a relatively new PhD, I am back to my base in Thailand to start my own research on mosquito-borne infections and tissue engineering at BIOTEC. One of our projects is on blocking Zika virus transmission from mother to child. <br />
<br />
<br />
With the constraints of securing funding everywhere, finding supports for your research can be difficult especially when you are a freshly minted PhD or a new PI. That is where <a href="https://www.who.int/tdr/about/en/" target="_blank">TDR </a>(The Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases) at WHO headquarters comes it. TDR is a program of scientific collaboration that helps support researches on infectious diseases around the world. TDR launched a <a href="https://www.seshglobal.org/Crowdfunding" target="_blank">crowdfunding challenge</a> for proposals on infectious diseases research from low- and middle-income countries to built capacity for research crowdfunding. This program intends to help the finalists build skills and capacity to generate a crowdfunding campaign for their research projects. Our proposal was one of the 5 finalists (!!!) and I was invited to attend a capacity building workshop hosted by TDR. There we got to learn more about TDR missions, public engagement, tips and tricks for science communications, and how to sharpen our research pitches for a crowdfunding campaign. <br />
