Last year, the Medical Center created the TeleVAD program—a hybrid model of telemedicine that allows providers to analyze information remotely from Rochester and change settings on a patient’s left ventricular assist device, or LVAD, and medications if necessary from dozens of miles away. Learn more about the program, introduced in Hornell and Batavia to save time for patients who typically travel hours for specialized care in Rochester.
Accomplished administrator heads back to the lab
After stepping down as the vice provost for research, Richard Waugh—an expert in cell deformability and cell adhesion—is headed back to his research lab to pursue two federally funded research projects.
“A test that recognizes subconcussive injuries—those that don’t produce symptoms—would be game-changing,” says Adnan Hirad, a research assistant professor of surgery and of neuroscience.
Deadline extended for diversity and re-entry supplement grants
Are you a trainee, postdoc, or early career researcher from a group that is underrepresented in health research? Or are you restarting your research career after a hiatus to care for family or to pursue non-research endeavors, like military service? The Clinical and Translational Science Institute can help you get your research career off the ground with a National Institutes of Health diversity or re-entry supplement to a UL1 grant. Both supplement grants provide up to two years of salary support and fringe benefits for candidates to conduct research that aligns with the Institute’s priorities. Apply by Monday, August 2.
To Help People See: The Art of G. Peter Jemison is currently on view at the Memorial Art Gallery. Jemison’s artwork depicts his personal experience of Haudenosaunee culture, the tensions between Euro-American and Indigenous American ways of life, and the ongoing struggle for Native American land rights restoration. Learn more about the exhibit. A reminder that the museum and Brown Hound Downtown will be closed on Sunday, July 4.
