While the study focused on development of antibody therapeutics against existing and emerging viral threats, the implications of the research are much broader.

To speed HIV research, VUMC scientists are drafting droves of people who do not exist to serve as research subjects.

A Vanderbilt University Medical Center study finds unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions in hospitalized children and highlights opportunity for antibiotic stewardship.

The study will go a long way to improving the early diagnosis and treatment of familial hypercholesterolemia, a common genetic driver of cardiovascular disease.
