Poor sleep quality linked to multiple chronic conditions
Researchers at Western University’s Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry have shown that how well you sleep and for how long is linked to increased odds of living with multiple chronic conditions.
Four new Canada Research Chairs for Western, two renewed
Western is home to four new Canada Research Chairs, professors whose work will have global impact on autism, data science and children’s learning. Two chairs, in business sustainability and neuroscience, have been renewed. Celebrating its 20thanniversary this year,...
Alzheimer’s researcher goes back in time to move forward in diagnosis
Shawn Whitehead will be doing some medical time traveling as he works to pinpoint the roots of cognitive impairment, including Alzheimer’s disease. The Schulich Medicine & Dentistry professor recently received a grant to study brain inflammation as a potential predictor of cognitive decline.
Researchers make first steps towards cure for HIV
A new strategy deployed against HIV by Western researchers has been able to pull the virus out of hiding in cells and expose it to potential attack from the immune system or open it to further treatment.
Study uses Twitter to reveal our mental-health state
