  • $70 million NIH grant

    The goal of the Clinical and Translational Science Award is to convert new treatments into care more rapidly.

  • Driving cancer cells to self-destruct

    Stanford researchers hope new technique will flip lymphoma protein’s normal action — from preventing cell death to triggering it.

  • National Academy of Medicine members

    Konstantina Stankovic and David Studdert join the distinguished society of scientists.

  • Hospital mental health screening

    Some patients hospitalized for an emergency illness or injury will develop mental health problems months after the experience. A new screening tool can anticipate who’s most at risk.

  • Grant for mental health

    The Center for Dissemination and Implementation will receive $37 million to improve access to effective mental health services, including underserved populations.

  • Genomic variants linked to mental disorders

    Stanford Medicine researchers, after creating an AI-based algorithm to find complex structural variants in the human genome, learned those variants likely contribute to psychiatric disease.

  • Liver cancer stem cells spark recurrence

    A Stanford Medicine-led study found that residual liver cancer cells interact with neighboring macrophages to prompt the disease to reappear.

  • Leaders highlight cancer and AI

    Lloyd Minor, David Entwistle and Paul King outline key strategic priorities — innovation in artificial intelligence and cancer research and care — at the State of Stanford Medicine address.

  • Benefits of prepping ERs to care for kids

    About 80% of emergency departments aren’t fully prepared to care for kids. Upgrading them would be a highly cost-effective way to save lives, a study found.

  • Poor sleep in kids linked to suicidal thoughts

    Kids with highly disturbed sleep or frequent nightmares at age 9 or 10 were more likely than sound sleepers to have suicidal thoughts and behaviors by age 12, a Stanford Medicine-led study found.
