The People Who Defy Alzheimer’s Risk
Yann Le Guen, PhD, and colleagues studied why some people remain cognitively healthy despite high genetic risk for Alzheimer’s. The findings may offer clues to natural protection against the disease.
A $25 million grant will allow Stanford Medicine researchers to create a center focused on exploring how artificial intelligence can help people with dementia.
Stanford Medicine professors were awarded grants to study antibiotics, leukemia treatments, how cells sense biochemical cues and using artificial intelligence to interpret microscopy images. Two more professors were honored for their overall research — in health care innovation and in treating children with diabetes.
Parallels between dementia with Lewy bodies and Alzheimer’s disease suggest that a medication approved for the latter might help treat the former, which has no approved therapies.
Stanford Medicine is harnessing artificial intelligence to expedite research, advance treatments, improve patient care and achieve better health equity. Follow the latest developments in the integration of AI technologies into biomedicine.
Researchers and physicians at Stanford Medicine are expanding our understanding of how cancer originates and spreads, discovering more effective treatments, and helping prevent recurrence.
The latest news from Stanford Medicine's research and clinical communities as they uncover the secrets of conditions such as epilepsy, autism, stroke, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease and pioneer treatments for these conditions.
Researchers and physicians at Stanford Medicine are learning the origins of mental illness and finding more effective ways to treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD and bipolar disorder.
Stanford Medicine researchers are uncovering the secrets of heart conditions such as tachycardia, atrial fibrillation and heart failure while surgeons are advancing techniques for bypass operations, transplantation and fixing congenital heart deformities.
Lehman helped discover DNA polymerase, co-discovered DNA ligase and fostered the collaborative culture that shaped Stanford Medicine’s Department of Biochemistry.
