Investigators in the Infections and Immunoepidemiology Branch and the Metabolic Epidemiology Branch of DCEG are undertaking a joint effort to catalog comprehensively bacterial genetic and epigenetic variation potentially related to long-term outcomes of infection. Isolates from patients with gastric cancer or advanced premalignant lesions are compared to controls with benign infection (superficial gastritis) from the same geographic area. The study goal is to sequence 1000 strains representing both high and low gastric cancer risk populations worldwide, with over 750 isolates from 50 different countries completed to date. An international team of experts is collaborating on analyses of these complex data to identify associations with the gastric carcinogenesis cascade.

The Helping to End Addiction Long-termSM Initiative, or NIH HEAL InitiativeSM, is an aggressive, trans-agency effort to speed scientific solutions to stem the national opioid public health crisis. Almost every NIH Institute and Center is accelerating research to address this public health emergency from all angles. The initiative is funding hundreds of projects nationwide. Researchers are taking a variety of approaches to tackle the opioid epidemic through: (1)Understanding, managing, and treating pain and (2)
Improving treatment for opioid misuse and addiction. The NIH HEAL Initiative forges collaborations among research programs across NIH, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the private sector. An executive committee of NIH leaders will coordinate NIH HEAL Initiative efforts to develop safe, non-addictive pain medications and other strategies for pain management.
