Excess sugar in the blood, the central feature of diabetes, can react with immune proteins to cause myriad changes in the immune system, including inflammatory changes that promote atherosclerosis, according to a new study from scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine and University of Massachusetts Medical School.
The first and largest genetic association study in the Middle East revealed genetic variations that are specific to the Qatari population, a group of researchers at Qatar Foundation reported Feb. 23 in Nature Communications.
Can virtual reality be the future of work? NBC News/Peacock tries to answer that question in episode 5 of their series, “What Does the Nature of Work Look Like?”
In this episode Alex Sigaras, Director of the AI-XR Lab at the Englander Institute for Precision Medicine, explains how he and his colleagues were using mixed reality before the pandemic to unravel the secrets behind a patients’ genetic makeup.
In 2018, Dr.
The environment surrounding the cancerous cells of a lymphoma tumor has a strong influence on the progression of these blood-cell cancers and their responses to therapies, according to a study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. Measuring this molecular and cellular environment, or “microenvironment,” may represent a new type of precision-medicine approach to lymphoma classification and treatment.
Patient-Centered Approach in Treating Thymoma
Life at 40 years old was good for Amara MacPhee. She’d lost about 40 pounds, was eating well, enjoyed spending time outside, and, even with a busy professional life, was able to carve out time for a few dance HIIT (high intensity interval training) classes a week.
“I had a very active lifestyle between work, seeing friends, and family,” Amara says. “At the time [2016], I was in the best shape of my life.”
Then Amara noticed that she was struggling during a fitness class.
The Englander Institute for Precision Medicine (EIPM) is proud of its track record in creating opportunities for students at every level to learn about the promise and potential of precision medicine to create breakthroughs and improve patient outcomes. The EIPM takes mentoring very seriously, recognizing that inspiring the next generation of investigators is critically important.
