Investigators are exploring the molecular mechanisms behind the association of chronic inflammation and colon cancer.

Graduate student Christian Meyer recently received the 2019 Richard Armstrong Prize for Research Excellence.

Fifteen years after it was launched, REDCap, Vanderbilt University’s research data management tool, has reached 1 million users throughout the world.

Scarcely a year after its national launch, the “All of Us” research program, which aims to accelerate the prevention and treatment of disease, has enrolled more than 230,000 research participants — more than a fifth of its recruitment goal of 1 million people. All

Vanderbilt investigators demonstrated that intestinal cells promote beneficial microbe behavior — the findings support developing microbiota-based therapies for intestinal health.

Inflammation synergizes with a cell’s intrinsic genetic program to promote the development of pancreatic cancer.

Engineered bacteria that produce beneficial compounds — and that could potentially be administered in foods like yogurt — may be a future treatment for obesity and other chronic diseases.
