A new collaboration bringing entrepreneurs and investors together with physician-scientists, surgeons, and medical technologists promises to launch the Baltimore region as a major national hub for new biomedical ventures and start-up companies.
With the advent of artificial intelligence (AI), predictive medicine is becoming an important part of healthcare, especially in cancer treatment. Predictive medicine uses algorithms and data to help doctors understand how a cancer might continue to grow or react to specific drugs鈥攎aking it easier to target precision treatment for individual patients. Now, with the two commentaries just out, researchers at the Institute for Genome Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine set a foundational approach to generating, analyzing, and ethically sharing data to benefit both patients and science.
Largest Genome-Wide Association Study Uncovers New Drug Targets and Potential Therapies for Osteoarthritis
In a study co-led by the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM), researchers have identified a 鈥渕aster regulator鈥� gene, ZNFX1, that may act as a biomarker to help guide treatment in future clinical trials involving patients with therapy-resistant ovarian cancer, according to a study recently published in Cancer Research.
Researchers Reveal Key Brain Differences to Explain Why Ritalin Helps Improve Focus in Some More Than Others
University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) researchers helped conduct an important new global health study that found a vaccine that protects against five strains of meningitis prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa is safe and effective for use in young children beginning at 9 months of age.
Innovative CT Scan Technique Could Improve Prognosis and Treatments for Head and Neck Cancers, New Research Suggests
UM School of Medicine Dermatology Researchers Discover New Skin Disease Using Innovative Diagnostic Platform
UM school of medicine surgeon-scientists to co-lead large international clinical trial to determine most effective treatment for common hip fracture in older adults
Many physicians are now using algorithms that consider a patient鈥檚 sex, like heart disease risk assessment tools, to help with clinical decision-making. Reliance on these algorithms may result in men and women receiving different care or having different eligibility for healthcare resources, for example placement on an organ transplant list.
Continuing significant advancements in the field of xenotransplantation, surgeon-scientists from the University of Maryland School of Medicine provided an extensive analysis on the second patient in the world to receive a genetically-modified pig organ. Lawrence Faucette, 58, received a pig heart at the University of Maryland Medical Center in 2023 to treat his end-stage heart failure. He lived for 40 days before choosing to forgo additional treatment after the transplant began to fail due to rejection.
New Study Found Increased Medical Visits for Heart and Respiratory Problems in Baltimore on Poor Air Quality Days from Western Canadian Wildfires
In a study published in the Dec. 5 issue of Nature, a team of researchers discovered a new population of neurons that is responsive to the hormone leptin. Leptin responsive neurons are important in obesity since leptin is sent to the brain from the body鈥檚 fat stores to suppress hunger.
University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) Dean Mark T. Gladwin, MD, has announced that prominent business leader and philanthropist Michael Greenebaum has been named Chair of the School's Board of Visitors. Mr. Greenebaum served as the Inaugural Vice Chair of the Board of Visitors since 2021 and has been a board member since 2012.
Adolescents who snore frequently were more likely to exhibit behavior problems such as inattention, rule-breaking, and aggression, but they do not have any decline in their cognitive abilities, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM).
University of Maryland School of Medicine Researchers Identify Neurobiological Changes Leading to Increase Release of the Brain Chemical Dopamine and Its Target Neurons Linked to Addiction-Like Behavior With the increased legalization of recreational cannabis, as many as 1 in 5 pregnant women in the U.S. are now using the drug to help with morning sickness, lower back pain or anxiety.
Researchers at the Institute for Genome Sciences (IGS) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) have developed a broad and deep genomic database of Latin Americans which gathers genome-wide data of Latin American populations into a single source and allows other scientists to easily add that population to their own research studies without straining budgets.
Margaret M. McCarthy, PhD, an internationally-recognized neuroscientist, who is the James and Carolyn Frenkil Dean鈥檚 Endowed Professor in the University of Maryland School of Medicine's Department of Pharmacology, Physiology, and Drug Development, and Director of the University of Maryland 鈥� Medicine Institute of Neuroscience Discovery (UM-MIND), has been elected as a new member of the National Academy of Medicine.
With a commitment to addressing rural health disparities and the challenges faced by Maryland鈥檚 rural Eastern Shore residents, the University of Maryland School of Medicine has launched the Rural Health Equity and Access Longitudinal Elective (R-HEALE).
