The device that netted a foursome of University of Wisconsin-Madison biomedical engineering classmates a 2023 Wisconsin Innovation Award doesn’t look flashy. It’s a small plastic cylinder, just over 1.5 inches in length, with a spring-loaded clip in the middle....
While the challenges of cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship are well-known, adolescents and young adults (AYAs), ages 15-39, have specific hurdles. What’s more, challenges that occur in this age group for clinical care are mirrored in clinical research, where a deficit of AYAs are represented....
Susannah is at the vanguard of a new movement in medicine: therapy so specialized it is designed for just a few patients, or even a single one. Such bespoke therapies are possible because of advances in medicine including gene therapy, the messenger RNA approach used...
The duties of trial team members, other site staff, and their vendors are performed so “behind the scenes” compared to the rest of the institutions’ activities, it can be a struggle to get their priorities and contributions noticed properly by leadership. As a result, study...
An ingestible pill that monitors vital signs from inside the body has produced positive results from a first-in-human study. The data, published on 17 November in the journal Device, demonstrates that the mini sensor could replace intrusive, wearable sensors in sleep studies....
As the modernization of clinical research through digital and decentralized solutions continues to take research into local communities, reduce patient and site burden, and increase diversity, it will lead to new ways of working for project delivery teams....
Clinical research had to adapt to solve our immediate global challenge. DCT technologies that were poised to deliver clinical trials directly to our patients were rolled out across the community to save the day. Adopting DCTs ensured a place in the future of research, regardless...
The University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Medicine and Public Health and GE HealthCare announced today a 10-year strategic collaboration that builds on an iconic relationship spanning more than 40 years. The new research collaboration expands the existing scope beyond medical imaging to new frontiers in...
A research study at UW–Madison School of Medicine and Public Health is investigating a drug that could one day prevent Alzheimer’s disease....
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health are exploring the ideal vaccine booster strategy for immunosuppressed patients to protect those at higher risk of severe illness and complications from COVID-19 infection....
