Biography

The goal of my present research is to apply the knowledge gained from my recent research in diabetes in humans to prevent damage that occurs from the diabetic state. We know that the real cause of type I diabetes is a stimulated state of oxidative and nitrosative stress. This kills the Beta cell in the pancreas and eliminates the control between insulin secretion and the proper level of sugar in the blood. Replacing insulin does not eliminate the damage to the body caused by ongoing oxidative/nitrosative (O/N) stress. Type II diabetes is also controlled by O/N stress but at a slower rate of damage. I have studied oxidative stress for over 30 years since I was a pioneer in the development of cellular chemiluminescence which is dependent on the stimulation of neutrophils and macrophages a major portion of the body’s response to infection and disease. We wrote seven books on different aspects of chemiluminescence and luminescence for CRC press Boca, Raton Florida. We developed luminescence- based screening systems for antioxidants which identified the action of polyphenols and monophenols as important oxidative scavengers or antioxidants. In collaboration with Dr Robert Hoeldtke we studied oxidative stress in early type I diabetic patients and showed that urate is depleted 25% compared to controls each and every year for three consecutive years. This surely indicates that oxidative stress continues in early diabetic children and young adults which can lead to blindness. Therefore, the idea that continuous treatment of oxidative stress and early DNA damage that result from the stress might prevent the disease and/or the damage that can occur from the disease. Therefore, Dr. Jabbour who is a Harvard –trained world famous retinologist and myself decided to collaborate on a clinical trial to prevent blindness caused by either diabetes or age-related macular degeneration. Anecdotal data in two individuals indicated that multiple supplements given in a continuous manner can cause diabetics (that are on a continuous decline of their sight) to improve in their visual acuity. In order to prevent type I diabetes (TID) it is crucial to recognize the beta cell damage mechanism and the eventual target of damage. Our research and the research of others, indicate that the damage is caused by a nitric oxide-based oxidation of DNA. Therefore, changes causing non-repaired DNA damage are likely to kill the insulin–producing beta cell. Damage or mutational change could occur in either genomic or mitochondrial DNA of the beta cell. Therefore, we will measure both mitochondrial damage and demethylation of DNA-complex of the insulin gene. By screening both DNA damage mechanisms we may well detect the earliest detection point in time for TID. Early treatment to prevent this damage may well prevent TID.

These activities have been conducted in successful and productive research collaborations, principally with Dr. Laszlo Prokai, focusing on translation of basic science findings to drug leads. In particular, Dr. Prokais projects integrates medicinal chemistry, biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, metabolism and drug distribution studies in early‐phase drug discovery and the development of neuroactive/neuroprotective agents. Their complimentary expertise have routinely been leading to the following activities; design and syntheses of complex organic and peptide‐based (pro)drug leads, and we employ in silico/biomimetic/in vitro assessments of physicochemical parameters important to select lead compounds for preclinical development, as well as follow up in vivo investigations involving biopharmaceutical analyses together with various neurochemical/pharmacological paradigms to ascertain the efficient central delivery of our agents. A best testimony of recent success of our lab has been published in Science Translational Medicine in 2015 describing the very first brain‐selective delivery of estrogens based on a unique bioprecursor prodrug approach. Their patented discovery is without precedent in the scientific literature.

He was previously on the doctoral and graduate faculties of Adelphi University and the undergraduate and graduate faculties of New York University and City University of New York (CUNY, tenured 2001). He is currently writing a book on the evolution of intelligence in hominins from the perspective of cognitive neuroscience. He has published on the use and misuse of projective testing in children, the bodily basis of thought; the embodied nature of musical performance; the cognitive and educational value of modern dance and ballet; the role of the brain in spatial-temporal thinking; the political and cultural constraints on human creative behavior; as well as the neural, evolutionary, cognitive, and developmental origins of human creative thought. Dr Seitz has a longstanding and strong interest in the arts.
