Children with Type 1 diabetes are at increased risk for neurocognitive complications. Vanderbilt University Medical Center has been selected as one of 11 clinical centers in the United States to evaluate children newly diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes for neurocognitive outcomes.

The seventh annual event invites students to conduct science experiments, join in hands-on activities, and win prizes and giveaways.

Senior author Mary Philip, MD, PhD, associate director of the Vanderbilt Institute for Infection, Immunology and Inflammation, talks about her Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer study. The findings support further vaccine investigation to make long-term, progression-free survival a reality for more cancer patients.

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.
