Topics will include insights into the resources Vanderbilt offers and how the institution helps researchers navigate intellectual property and tech transfer processes.

VUMC was recognized thanks to the leadership of Vanderbilt’s Department of Biomedical Informatics and its new AI Discovery & Vigilance to Accelerate Innovation & Clinical Excellence.

The pilot extends to continuous wireless monitoring of blood pressure, blood oxygen level, heart rate and continuous cardiac rhythm. The aim is improved vigilance, efficiency and satisfaction for patients and staff.

Tkaczyk and collaborators will assemble a database of more than 11,000 photographs and associated clinical information from diverse patient populations at five centers: Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, Mayo Clinic, NIH, University of Pennsylvania and VUMC.

The 5,704 nautical-mile trip is the farthest VUMC has traveled for an organ. The remarkable journey illustrates how new technologies make it possible to preserve organs longer, allowing Vanderbilt to look farther for a match.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center has collaborated with Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C., to develop the Rare Disease Clinical Activity Protocol Program, or RareCAP, a growing online repository of clinical protocols designed to offer quick, practical guidance on the care of patients with rare diseases.

The talk provided insights into the challenges and rewards of commercializing academic research.
