Title of Talk: The global burden of lead poisoning and efforts to address it

Though lead's effects on human development and health have been known for more than a millennium, the true global burden of lead exposure has come into clearer focus over the past decade. The global implications of ongoing and past lead use are significant and born primarily in low- and middle-income countries. This presentation will share the emerging global consensus on lead and describe international efforts to address exposure. Dan will share some of Vital Strategies' work in building the capacity of public health institutions and clinical care providers around the world to understand and respond, and its implications for children's development and reducing premature mortality.

Abstract

Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC), originally developed in Bogotá in 1978 as an alternative to incubator-based care, has evolved into a globally recognized standard of care for preterm and low-birth-weight infants. This lecture traces the scientific, clinical, and public health evolution of KMC, highlighting its transformation from a resource-constrained innovation to an evidence-based model endorsed by the World Health Organization.

Dr. Charpak will present the origins and core components of KMC, kangaroo position, kangaroo nutrition, and ambulatory strict follow-up, and review the progression of evidence from the first randomized controlled trials conducted by the Kangaroo Foundation to the 2022 WHO recommendation for immediate KMC, even before full clinical stabilization. This paradigm shift has demonstrated a 25% reduction in neonatal mortality, alongside significant decreases in neonatal sepsis, maternal depression, and length of hospital stay. She will also describe the Colombian model of large-scale implementation, including the 2024 Kangaroo Law, and the Foundation’s global training of over 200 interdisciplinary teams across 47 countries.

The seminar will further present emerging interdisciplinary evidence on the neuroprotective effects of KMC. Longitudinal studies, including 20-year follow-up cohorts, show that early and sustained exposure is associated with improved brain structure and function, with dose-dependent effects on gray matter, hippocampus, amygdala, and corpus callosum, as well as enhanced cognitive, motor, memory, and socio-emotional outcomes.

These findings support a paradigm shift toward zero separation and family-centered care from birth. KMC should no longer be viewed as an alternative, but as an ethical, effective, and scalable standard for optimizing survival and lifelong development in vulnerable newborns.

Bio

Dr. Nathalie Charpak is a French-Colombian pediatrician and internationally renowned neonatal researcher, widely recognized as the world's leading expert on Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC). She earned her M.D. from Université Paris-Sud and completed her pediatric training at Université René Descartes (Paris, 1987), before relocating to Colombia to develop an innovative alternative to incubator-based neonatal care named Kangaroo Mother Care.

In 1994, she co-founded Kangaroo Foundation in Bogotá—an NGO integrating clinical services, research, and global capacity-building—where she serves as Executive Director and Emeritus Researcher. Dr. Charpak led the first randomized controlled trials demonstrating the effectiveness of KMC—an evidence-based model centered on skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, and family involvement—which contributed directly to the WHO's endorsement of KMC as a standard of care in 2003. Today, KMC is implemented in more than 50 countries.

Her research has been cited over 5,900 times, and she has trained more than 200 interdisciplinary teams from 47 countries. Her contributions have been recognized with the San Valentino prize in Vatican, the French Légion d'honneur, the Carlos Slim Health Award, and Save the Children's Healthcare Innovation Award. She currently leads interdisciplinary research on the long-term effects of KMC on brain development.

This session brings together research residency leaders from across Mount Sinai to illuminate how research-integrated training pathways are shaping the next generation of physician-scientists. Speakers will share how protected research time is embedded within clinical training, how mentorship and funding are aligned, and how these programs create durable foundations for long-term academic impact.

This conversation will offer an honest look at the opportunities, tradeoffs, and evolving landscape of physician-scientist training. By grounding the discussion in lived experience and real institutional models, this session aims to inspire trainees and faculty to think boldly about career design — and to engage in a shared dialogue about how we strengthen and sustain the physician-scientist workforce for the future.

Please join us for an interactive panel discussion and reception to follow.

Drawing on the Brookings report “A New Direction for Students in an AI World: Prosper, Prepare, Protect,” this webinar offers practical, evidence-based guidance for counseling families.

Participants will explore concerns including child safety and privacy, socioemotional development, and the effects of “sycophantic” AI design that may reinforce unhealthy behaviors or blur human–AI boundaries. The session will equip providers with strategies for advising parents and ready-to-use parent tip sheets to support healthy AI use at home.

About the Retreat:

The Friedman Brain Institute and the Neuroscience Graduate Program, presents the 18th Annual Neuroscience Retreat.

The Friedman Brain Institute hosts a Neuroscience Retreat held in the spring of each year. Neuroscience is multidisciplinary by nature and, reflecting this, the scientists and physicians that contribute to the neurosciences at Mount Sinai hail from a variety of departments and campuses. The Retreat provides an opportunity for everyone in the Neuroscience community at Mount Sinai – faculty, fellows, students, researchers and clinicians – to meet and discuss their work in order to increase awareness of ongoing research and approaches, to foster new interactions, and to generate novel ideas.

The course contains practical tutorials for using tools and setting up pipelines, but it also covers the mathematics behind the methods applied within the tools. The course is mostly appropriate for beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduates majoring in fields such as biology, math, physics, chemistry, computer science, biomedical and electrical engineering.

The lectures should be useful for researchers who encounter large datasets in their own research. The course presents software tools developed by the Ma’ayan Laboratory from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, but also other freely available data analysis and visualization tools. The ultimate aim of the course is to enable participants to utilize the methods presented in this course for analyzing their own data for their own projects. For those participants that do not work in the field, the course introduces the current research challenges faced in the field of computational systems biology.

Abstract:

Electronic health records (EHRs) have become the cornerstone of population-scale genetic studies, but factors including patterns of healthcare use shape which and how diagnoses are recorded, leading to confounding effects in genetic associations with EHR codes. In this study we propose EDGAR, a deep learning framework that recovers lifetime disease liability from EHR by aligning diagnostic codes with clinically validated measures and disease labels in a set of individuals prioritized through active learning. EDGAR yields representations that better capture disease-specific effects in genome-wide association analyses (GWAS). It also enables us to isolate a genetic factor that captures systemic biases in EHR codes, which distorts cross-disease correlations and drives spurious links with behavioral and socio-economic traits. We find that this factor generalizes across EHRs, and its identification in one EHR enables its removal from existing GWAS in another. Overall, our work presents a promising direction for improving specificity of EHR-based GWAS.

Dr Na Cai is a statistical geneticist whose research focus is primarily on the genetic underpinnings of psychiatric disorders. Na has performed the first genetic study that identified significant and replicated genetic associations with Major Depressive Disorder during her PhD, and have since worked on critically assessing and maximizing the use of all types of available data (clinical cohorts, volunteer-based biobanks, self-reports through consumer genomic companies, and electronic health records) specifically for genetic research. Her goal is to identify the genetic effects that are specific to the (potentially heterogeneous) pathologic pathways in psychiatric disorders, and use them to identity genes and cell types that are potentially relevant for development of targeted treatments and interventions.

Chelsea DeBolt, MD, MSCR, is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at The Mount Sinai Hospital and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. DeBolt’s practice focuses on high-risk pregnancies, with special interest in prenatal diagnosis. Her research is focused on improving women’s health across the lifespan through understanding the biological drivers of optimal and adverse pregnancy health, including preeclampsia, preterm birth, fetal growth restriction, and stillbirth.

Description: In this webinar, Drs. Lesseur and DeBolt will discuss emerging research on chemical exposures and placental health, highlighting how the placenta acts as a critical interface between the mother and the developing fetus. They will explore how exposure to environmental chemicals may influence the placenta, fetal growth, and long-term health, and why the placenta is a key—yet often overlooked—target in environmental health research.

Moderator: Kirstyn Bonetti, Advisory Board Member, Mount Sinai Institute for Exposomic Research

Duration: 25 minute talk + 20 minutes Q&A

This community webinar is part of the Mount Sinai Institute for Exposomic Research Environment and Health Lunchtime Chat Series. Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai are advancing research that reveals how environmental exposures—from air pollution and chemicals to social and lifestyle factors—shape health across the lifespan. Through this webinar series, we translate discovery into action, connecting groundbreaking science to real-world insights that empower families and communities to make informed choices and support long-term health.

Health systems are rich with innovation, yet meaningful change often fails to endure. This talk explores why some transformation efforts stick while others stall, drawing on behavioral science, implementation research, and real world health system experience. Using examples from emergency care and across the continuum, the talk will focus on highlighting practical strategies for aligning incentives, redesigning workflows, and engaging clinicians and leaders to translate evidence into sustained improvement.

Prof. Dr. Metin Akgün is Professor of Pulmonary Diseases, Dean of the School of Medicine, and Chair of the Department of Pulmonary Diseases at Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University, Türkiye. He previously served as Full Professor at Atatürk University and has held academic leadership roles including Vice Dean.

He was among the first to report and systematically study the silicosis epidemic among denim sandblasting workers in Türkiye, beginning with case reports in 2005 and a landmark epidemic description in the European Respiratory Journal in 2008. His longitudinal follow-up studies demonstrated progressive disease and premature mortality despite cessation of exposure. His recent letter in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine reflects on the recurring global nature of silicosis outbreaks and the need for sustained international prevention efforts.

He has served in numerous national and international leadership roles, including National Delegate of Türkiye to the European Respiratory Society, program committee member of the ATS Environmental, Occupational, and Population Health Assembly, and long-standing faculty member of the ATS–Turkish Thoracic Society MECOR program. He is currently Chief Editor of Thoracic Research and Practice and remains actively engaged in global collaborations addressing occupational and environmental lung diseases. In addition to his clinical and public health work, he is also interested in philosophy and artificial intelligence.

With the support of Mount Sinai Health System and New York City Spinal Cord Injury Association, our program has developed the first SCI women’s group in New York City. The SCI population is approximately 20 percent women, making us a minority within a minority in our society. We provide women with SCI the space to share their personal and intimate concerns with other women across age ranges, injury types and levels, and years of experience.

Our group meets weekly via zoom. We discuss various topics such as dating and sexuality, self-image, relationships with family, partners and friends, education, independence, co-dependence, self-advocacy, and dis/Ability as identity. We seek to empower, educate, and support one another.

International studies led by the Director of the Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment, Joseph D. Buxbaum, PhD, MSc, and colleagues, have identified over 250 genes that, if changed, strongly contribute to autism. These discoveries also show that 30% of individuals with profound autism have genetic mutations.

Clinical researchers are now shifting their focus on treatments for autism. Rather than treating all autism as a single entity, we can now begin to look at genetically determined subtypes of autism and consider treatments that are tailored to the genetic subtype. This approach, called precision therapeutics, has revolutionized cancer treatment, and will revolutionize the treatment of profound autism.

Attend the conference to learn how researchers are identifying genetic mutations in autism, how the mutations lead to biologically-determined subtypes of autism, and how preclinical and clinical research are developing and testing new treatments for these subtypes. The interactions between academic scientists, families and advocacy groups, and industry partners will also be discussed, as precision therapeutics requires input from all these groups.

The course contains practical tutorials for using tools and setting up pipelines, but it also covers the mathematics behind the methods applied within the tools. The course is mostly appropriate for beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduates majoring in fields such as biology, math, physics, chemistry, computer science, biomedical and electrical engineering.

The lectures should be useful for researchers who encounter large datasets in their own research. The course presents software tools developed by the Ma’ayan Laboratory from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, but also other freely available data analysis and visualization tools. The ultimate aim of the course is to enable participants to utilize the methods presented in this course for analyzing their own data for their own projects. For those participants that do not work in the field, the course introduces the current research challenges faced in the field of computational systems biology.

25 minute talk + 20 minute Q&A

Moderator: Ellen Lautenberg, Advisory Board Chair, Mount Sinai Institute for Exposomic Research

Register today

Yaguang Wei, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Medicine, and Hannah Thompson, MD, MPH, Assistant Professor in the Department of Environmental Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, study how air pollution and related environmental exposures influence cancer risk, disease progression, and patient outcomes. Their work connects environmental health research with clinical care with the goal of improving health outcomes.

In this webinar, Drs. Wei and Thompson will present new insights on air pollution and cancer outcomes, highlighting emerging evidence linking environmental exposures to cancer. They will discuss how research findings are informing clinical decision-making and identify opportunities to translate environmental health science into more personalized and equitable care. The talk will also explore key gaps in knowledge and future directions for integrating exposure science into clinical practice.

This community webinar is part of the Mount Sinai Institute for Exposomic Research Environment and Health Lunchtime Chat Series. Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai are advancing research that reveals how environmental exposures—from air pollution and chemicals to social and lifestyle factors—shape health across the lifespan. Through this webinar series, we translate discovery into action, connecting groundbreaking science to real-world insights that empower families and communities to make informed choices and support long-term health.

With the support of Mount Sinai Health System and New York City Spinal Cord Injury Association, our program has developed the first SCI women’s group in New York City. The SCI population is approximately 20 percent women, making us a minority within a minority in our society. We provide women with SCI the space to share their personal and intimate concerns with other women across age ranges, injury types and levels, and years of experience.

Our group meets weekly via zoom. We discuss various topics such as dating and sexuality, self-image, relationships with family, partners and friends, education, independence, co-dependence, self-advocacy, and dis/Ability as identity. We seek to empower, educate, and support one another.

The course contains practical tutorials for using tools and setting up pipelines, but it also covers the mathematics behind the methods applied within the tools. The course is mostly appropriate for beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduates majoring in fields such as biology, math, physics, chemistry, computer science, biomedical and electrical engineering.

The lectures should be useful for researchers who encounter large datasets in their own research. The course presents software tools developed by the Ma’ayan Laboratory from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, but also other freely available data analysis and visualization tools. The ultimate aim of the course is to enable participants to utilize the methods presented in this course for analyzing their own data for their own projects. For those participants that do not work in the field, the course introduces the current research challenges faced in the field of computational systems biology.

After serving as captain in the Medical Corps in WW II, Dr. Malis completed his neurosurgical training at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. He completed a fellowship at Yale University and returned to Mount Sinai as an assistant attending neurosurgeon, assuming the chairmanship of the Department of Neurosurgery in 1970.

Dr. Malis was a pioneer in microneurosurgery, introducing the operating microscope to neurosurgery in New York. With his brother Jerry, he developed some of the earliest state-of-the-art surgical instruments and techniques which are still in use today.

Dr. Malis retired as Chairman of the Mount Sinai Department of Neurosurgery in 1991 but continued as Professor of Neurosurgery until 1994 and as Professor Emeritus until his death. His clinical and academic legacy will enrich the practice of neurosurgery for generations to come.
