As part of Climate Week NYC, Columbia Engineering will celebrate a week of events bringing together researchers and experts at the forefront of developing solutions to help the planet and society.
The Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM, formerly AACC) has issued expert guidance on lipid tests, which measure blood levels of fats and cholesterol to help assess a patient’s risk of heart disease and stroke. By giving clinicians and laboratory medicine professionals much-needed clarity on how to best use these tests, the new guidelines will ensure that more patients with cardiovascular disease get the treatment they need.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has funded University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign research that aims to connect the dots between quantitative and molecular genetics and improve crop breeding.
Mark Evers, MD, FACS; Kelvin Lee, MD; and Thomas A. Sellers, PhD, MPH, have been elected to the Board of Directors of the Association of American Cancer Institutes (AACI). The new board members will begin their two-year terms in October, during the 2024 AACI/CCAF Annual Meeting in Chicago.
The Association of American Cancer Institutes (AACI) congratulates this year's Distinguished Scientist, Cancer Health Equity, and Champion for Cures award recipients. The awards will be presented on Monday, October 21, during the 2024 AACI/CCAF Annual Meeting in Chicago.
Long-duration energy storage gets the spotlight in a new Energy Storage Research Alliance featuring PNNL innovations, like a molecular digital twin and advanced instrumentation.
In 2D quantum materials, chiral edge states are 1D conducting channels in which electrons travel only in one direction and electron collisions are strongly suppressed. This means chiral channels act like resistance-free conductors.
New research from the University of Georgia Terry College of Business shows consumers use “happier” words to search for products when they are in a good mood. Researchers have connected those positive search terms with an increased likelihood of clicking on search engine ads.
A new law in Alaska removes out-of-pocket costs for diagnostic and supplemental breast imaging for people with state-regulated insurance plans.
New research has implications for fundamental science, quantum computing and future technological applications.
Expert sources and news tips from Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center for Blood Cancer Awareness Month in September.
Researchers have documented for the first time the unique chemistry dynamics and structure of high-temperature liquid uranium trichloride salt, a potential nuclear fuel source for next-generation reactors.
A new study has provided critical insights into Gulf War illness, a chronic condition affecting veterans deployed during the 1990–1991 Gulf War. The findings are the most comprehensive to date that establishes an association between gut microbiome imbalance and Gulf War veterans, paving the way for new treatments.
Sustainable agriculture can benefit the environment but only when food safety and human health are taken into account.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced awards totaling $142 million for small businesses in 34 states. The 123 projects to be funded address multiple mission-critical areas important for the nation, including clean energy and decarbonization, cybersecurity and grid reliability, fusion energy, and nuclear nonproliferation.
This summer PCOM South Georgia medical student Michael Abaskaron (DO '27) was one of 20 medical school students selected to participate in the Summer Research Externship Program at Ohio Health in Columbus. He focused on orthopedics. “This program provides medical students with exposure to a field they might be interested in,” he said.
Christopher Amos, PhD, will join The University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center on October 1, Yolanda Sanchez, PhD, announced. Sanchez leads the UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center as Director and CEO. Amos will serve as Associate Director for Population Sciences and Cancer Control at the UNM Cancer Center and will also serve as Director of the UNM Health Sciences Center (HSC) Data Science Initiative.
Para muitos médicos e pesquisadores, a imunoterapia, que utiliza o próprio sistema imunitário da pessoa para identificar e atacar as células cancerígenas, é a melhor e a próxima fronteira do tratamento contra o câncer. A terapia com células T com receptor de antígeno quimérico, ou terapia com células CAR-T, é um tipo de imunoterapia. Ocasionalmente comparada a uma "droga inteligente" ou "droga viva", a terapia com células CAR-T depende de células imunitárias genéticamente modificadas para reconhecer e destruir as células cancerígenas.
Scott Holmes of Camilla, Georgia, is a senior nursing major at Georgia Southern University. This summer he became the South Georgia campus' first participant in PCOM's Pathways to Medicine Undergraduate Research program.
