Upstate Research

🔬 Is a cure for type 1 diabetes in the near future? Two Upstate researchers think so. By combining bioengineering and islet transplantation research, Dr. Dadheech and Dr. Delibasi are working to develop an end-to-end treatment for patients. "This is our chance to make the community of Syracuse and Upstate a world leader in human health," says Dr. Dadheech. “We are closer than ever, and I urge the diabetes community, patient partners, and potential donors to come forward and help us build a real cure."

🧠 Tau is a protein that plays a role in Alzheimer’s disease. Upstate's Chris Gaiteri, PhD, is part of a team studying tau "seeds" -- a form of that protein -- in human brain tissue to understand their role in the progression of the disease.  "So you have this seed that is essentially propagating along those physical pathways. And that may be very important in understanding how tau ends up, where it ends up." Gaiteri explains more about this multi-discipline study, and what they're learning about the development of Alzheimer's disease here ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/gb3FdbGX #alzheimers #medicalresearch

“Great scientist, great leader, and a great human being” is how he’s described by Upstate Medical University president Dr. Dewan. Honoring the outgoing Vice President for Research Dave Amberg, PhD as he retires today.🍾👏 Amberg has served 12 years in the position and grew research 62 percent, from $35M to $57M just in the past 5 years.

Upstate Medical University has enrolled the first patient in a landmark international clinical trial that could reshape treatment for heart failure patients.

Older adults are more vulnerable to serious flu infections; one Upstate researcher is trying to figure out why. Mobin Karimi MD, PhD, will be using a grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) to study how certain immune cells protect the lungs. We are studying how a pathway called β-catenin helps these cells function properly," says Karimi. "The goal is to understand why these protective responses weaken with age and how they might be improved.” Read more about Karimi's study ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/gGMsssxE #medicalresearch #aging #immunity

⚠️ "More young adults are not just developing colorectal cancer, they are increasingly dying from it." Among adults, rectal cancer mortality is projected to escalate through 2035. Upstate fellow's study finds alarming cancer rates among millennials ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gVufDWRa #rectalcancer #cancerresearch
