With the support of a five-year, $3.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), researchers will study how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted opioid use disorder and how the COVID-19 response and mitigation policies impact health outcomes, especially in vulnerable populations.
Scientists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have demonstrated that a neurosurgical procedure used to research and measure dopamine and serotonin in the human brain is safe. Their findings are published online in PLOS One, a journal published by the Public Library of Science.
A general surgery resident at Wake Forest University School of Medicine has been selected to study pediatric minimally invasive surgery at IRCAD, a France-based, global research and training institute. Jessica Rauh, M.D., will spend one week in April 2023 at the state-of-the-art center, which teaches all aspects of endoscopic surgery, and is located on the campus of the University of Strasbourg, in France.
With physicians and patients looking for ways to extend health care beyond the traditional doctor's office, remote monitoring and care coordination can provide increased support to patients who suffer a major health event such as a stroke. To address this growing need, clinical researchers and bioinformatic experts at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and stroke experts at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist's Comprehensive Stroke Center, have created COMPASS-CP, a digital health platform that can be embedded within electronic health records.
RTT Medical is the newest tenant of the Innovation Accelerator, a support ecosystem created by the RegenMed Development Organization (ReMDO) to help companies with new or emerging regenerative medicine technologies speed up the translation of products to patients.
Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) researchers are using a tumor organoid system to examine the effects of metabolites secreted by bacteria on a specialized immunotherapy – immune checkpoint blockage, a promising cancer treatment development – to determine why some patients don’t respond or develop a resistance to the treatment over time.
Neuroradiologists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have begun a pilot study testing the use of virtual reality (VR) systems to remotely read MRIs and other medical images. “The wonderful thing about this is that it’s a collaborative environment with people who can look at medical images at the same time, regardless of where they are in the world,” Burdette said. “We are able to interpret images in incredible detail while communicating with the referring clinicians who are seeing the same images in real time, which is just not possible in a traditional reading room in the hospital.”
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine receive $3.1 million grant to lead a multi-site study to look for the earliest signs of heart vessel damage in young, pre-menopausal breast cancer survivors.
Researchers from Wake Forest University School of Medicine have discovered a possible new approach in treating solid tumors through the creation of a novel nanoparticle.
New research shows that comorbidities such as chronic kidney disease are associated with higher plasma p-tau levels.
Scientists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have been awarded approximately $9 million from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke to study the use of oxytocin, a naturally occurring hormone, as a treatment for pain after injury.
The use of continuous temperature monitoring in staff and older residents of independent- and assisted-living facilities may be an effective intervention for early detection and containment of infectious disease outbreaks, and provide better outcomes for people in those facilities, according to a study conducted by scientists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
When it comes to weight loss, the old adage it’s all in your head may be true. Scientists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have shown that two specific networks in the brain can strongly influence how successful a person will be when trying to lose weight.
With the support of a $1.7 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, researchers at the School of Medicine will lead the Long-term Effectiveness of the Anti-Obesity medication Phentermine (LEAP) trial, a placebo-controlled, randomized-controlled trial that will enroll 1,000 adults at five sites across the U.S.
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have been awarded a five-year, $4 million grant through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Helping End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) Initiative to study chronic pain and opioid use disorder.
ReMDO and Axiom Space today announced their plans to leverage the translational regenerative medicine expertise of the WFIRM team and Axiom’s leadership in commercial space infrastructure development to advance in-space regenerative medicine biomanufacturing.
ReMDO and its collaborating research partner, the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM), have launched the Innovation Accelerator, which is housed in WFIRM’s space.
Cancer of the appendix is rare, affecting only 1 in 100,000 people in the United States annually. However, because it’s so rare, there’s limited research to help guide treatment decisions. But now, researchers at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist’s NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center hope to change that with support from a $2.5 million grant from the National Cancer Institute.
The Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) and the Regenerative Medicine Foundation (RMF) for the second year will join forces for their annual meetings to be held in conjunction and virtually, kicking off on Monday, June 6 - 11. Early Bird Registration ends May 6.
The beginning of a “first of its kind” agreement between the University of Strasbourg in France and Wake Forest University took place recently at Wake Downtown in Innovation Quarter.
