Global study shows elective surgery patients should be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccines
The change could prevent 60,000 COVID-19 related deaths in one year
Creating connections: Western’s complexity science research hub
The Complex Adaptive Systems lab is an interdisciplinary network encouraging cross-campus collaboration.
Tuberculosis research focuses on animal-to-human transmission
Dr. Francisco Olea-Popelka argues that to eliminate TB entirely, we must look at the zoonotic form of the disease, more common than once thought.
New graduate training opportunities for MD students
Schulich launches MD+, a new track allowing medical students to pursue a master’s degree or certificate in a wide variety of subjects.
Powerful brain imaging provides new insights on neurological symptoms of COVID-19
A team of Western scientists and clinicians is combining powerful brain imaging tools with Alzheimer’s and epilepsy expertise to better understand the effects of COVID-19 on the brain.
A more plant-based diet may improve cardiovascular health
A new study explores the relationship between TMAO (a metabolite produced by our gut bacteria), meat and egg consumption and cardiovascular health.
New software provides detailed picture of diversity of COVID-19 virus variants
Genomic surveillance programs have tracked more than 300,000 unique genetic versions of the COVID-19 virus. A new Western-developed web application visually represents all of that data in an easy-to-understand way.
Looking for clues: Using artificial intelligence to uncover mental health, addiction issues
A new social media search tool could help public health experts reach more people struggling with substance abuse.
Pandemic provides real-time, case-based learning opportunity
For this year’s Masters of Public Health cohort, the backdrop of the pandemic is presenting unique opportunities for learning and analysis.
Imaging helps understand empathy loss in dementia
MRIs show subtle changes in the brains of patients with early-onset dementia, a finding that could lead to treatments for emotional processing deficits.
London startup raises the bar on spinal implants
Taking home-grown research to the international market
Device to manage blood loss gets federal approval
Researchers have developed a device to keep blood flowing to the heart and the brain in fast, simple and safe way following traumatic injury.
