The event brings physician-scientists, resident physicians, MD, MD/PhD and undergraduate students together to promote mentorship, provide information and showcase student research.

The study seeks to understand the mechanisms of colorectal cancer and builds on recent Vanderbilt research.

The project seeks to reduce the time for clinical chart abstraction by 90% while maintaining human-level accuracy.

VUMC researchers have developed a genetic method that clusters distantly related people to find rare variants that were present in a common ancestor.
