UNC Receives $5.6M from NIH to Fund New Osteoarthritis Research Center

A new multidisciplinary clinical research center (MCRC) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, funded by a $5.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health, seeks better ways to address the costly public health issue of osteoarthritis (OA). "We know that arthritis is the leading cause of disability among older adults," said principal investigator Dr. Joanne Jordan (ELAM '10), director of University of North Carolina's Thurston Arthritis Research Center (TARC), and adjunct professor of epidemiology in the Gillings School of Global Public Health. "With this grant, we plan to create a true multidisciplinary hub for OA and musculoskeletal research here at UNC - one that leverages our research, clinical, education, and training strengths across disciplines to better understand and treat this chronic and often debilitating disease."

 

Karen Lu, M.D., (ELAM '12) was featured in a piece on NBC Nightly News, Tracking Yearly Blood Tests May Reveal Early-State Ovarian Cancer.

 

AAMC CFAS-News, August 26, 2013:

The AAMC Group on Faculty Affairs (GFA) presented their annual Carole J. Bland Phronesis Award earlier this month to Laura Schweitzer, Ph.D. (ELAM '99). The award was established to commemorate the legacy of Dr. Carole Bland, former assistant dean for faculty development at the University of Minnesota Medical School, and serves to honor members of the faculty affairs community who exemplify the spirit of phronesis -- or, seeking and enabling the development and success of others -- through dedicated and selfless promotion of faculty vitality. Having previously held key leadership positions at SUNY Upstate, Syracuse University, Bassett Healthcare and the University of Louisville, Dr. Schweitzer is now the President of Union Graduate College in Schenectady, NY.

Stanford Medical School's Plan to Attract More Female Leaders

The Stanford School of Medicine (SSoM) recently launched an initiative to increase the representation of women on its faculty. The program is rooted in data that should resonate with any business or profession confronting its own gender gap in the leadership ranks. [Hannah Valantine, an ELUM at Stanford wrote to us re: this media coverage, "It's great to receive this recognition of our work which was first reported in the front page of the NYT last fall, and has been discussed in various venues and papers. This is the only one dedicated entirely to the Stanford program so I am very pleased."]
