#CUAnschutz researchers have found that people with #diabetes can achieve the same positive results using advanced insulin technology when trained by their primary care providers or through telehealth as they would by seeing a specialist in person. 🗞️

CU School of Medicine researchers like Kristine Erlandson, MD, and Jacob Walker, MD, are working to help people with HIV live longer through their extensive research and care programs. Learn more about HIV research and hear from HIV survivors ⬇️

Thank you to @todayshow.com for a wonderful tribute to Dr. Loretta Ford! Dr. Ford helped establish the first ever pediatric nurse practitioner program at the University of Colorado in 1965, offering specialized clinical training to nurses in order to fill gaps in healthcare. 🖤💛

Yesterday, we got to watch as Jeff Kavanaugh, the long term research associate of the Horswill Lab received the PRA of the year award at @cuanschutz.bsky.social Jeff, your influence on the lab and all of us as trainees is immeasurable. To celebrate you was a light in these uncertain times.

We are proud to have been once again recognized as an R1 Top-Tier Research University, a designation shared with the University of Colorado Denver that places us among the nation's most elite research institutions. 🏆 🗞️ Read more about what this means for our campus, below.

“It’s really an elaborate infrastructure that’s required to do this research. One of the things that concerns me is the magnitude and rapidity of these changes.” VC for Research Tom Flaig, MD, recently spoke to @cbsnews.com about the potential impact the proposed NIH cuts could have on our campus.

✨Congrats ✨ to the winners of 🔬 2025 #CUAnschutzResearchAwards from the DOP! Richard Benninger, PhD: Research Mentor Award | Kelly Sullivan, PhD + Angela Rachubinski, PhD – Research Collaboration Team Award: @crnicinstitute.bsky.social @cumedicalschool.bsky.social @cuanschutz.bsky.social

Anxiety among autistic children is common, but accessing #MentalHealth care can be difficult. Read about a recent study suggesting that school-based cognitive behavior therapy helps reduce anxiety in children with #autism. #MentalHealthSky #CBT

Chancellor Don Elliman says that #CUAnschutz could lose $74 million in medical #research funding due to proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) - jeopardizing the foundation of life-changing and life-saving research.

At #CUAnschutz, you are limited only by what you can imagine. We're turning your dreams into life-changing discoveries to change the face of medicine, together. ✨ This is where dreams live. Discover more at cuanschutz.edu/dreams.

At #CUAnschutz, we dare to make dreams a reality. We are so excited to officially launch our newest ad campaign debuting in Colorado this Sunday, February 9, during Super Bowl 2025. For now, enjoy a sneak peek of what’s to come. 👀✨

Can CAR T-cell cancer therapy be used to help fight autoimmune diseases? Melissa Griffith, MD, and Larry Moreland, MD of @cudeptofmedicine.bsky.social are conducting trial studies to find out how to use the body’s own immune system to fight against RA, lupus, & more. @cuanschutz.bsky.social

If a claim about a dietary intervention sounds too good to be true, it probably is! A #CUAnschutz medical education specialist explains how to tell valid health information from pseudoscience. ⬇️

#ICYMI: We announced the launch of the Colorado Child Health Research Institute with @cuanschutz.bsky.social last year. Here’s to many more years of collaboration, reimagining the future of #ChildHealth research.

A #CUAnschutz cardiologist is reimagining how we care for people with arrhythmias – from clinical care to research, Wendy Tzou, MD, shares her dream of establishing an #Arrhythmia Center of Excellence on our campus. ⬇️❤️‍🩹

#CUAnschutz researchers have discovered that some CAR-T cells engineered to fight #cancer and other conditions carry the memory of past encounters with bacteria, viruses and other antigens within them, a finding that may allow scientists to manufacture the cells in more precise and targeted ways. ⬇️

Does #marijuana impact brain function? #CUAnschutz researchers looked at more than 1,000 cannabis users to find the answer in a study recently published in @jama.com. Read about what they found here. ⬇️

A groundbreaking study led by @jabarocas.bsky.social and published in the American Academy of Pediatrics revealed that 25% of youth experienced homelessness in Denver in 2021—a troubling trend that's been rising since 2017. https://buff.ly/4h4Lbaw

Balancing research and grants can be tough. Learn how CCTSI program director, Anne Libby, PhD, makes it simpler with her expert-led online courses on leadership and grant management for researchers. https://buff.ly/40g2izl @hdaylum.bsky.social, @cumedicalschool.bsky.social, @emmybetz.bsky.social

Kudos to CCTSI researcher Kristine Erlandson, MD! Her study on #LongCOVID biomarkers was named one of the most influential publications of 2024 by Annals of Internal Medicine. It found that 25 routine lab tests can't reliably diagnose long COVID. ▶️https://buff.ly/4fIpHjA @cudivofid.bsky.social

Our annual State of Research Address is a time to reflect on our achievements from the past year and recognize our shared commitment to scientific excellence at #CUAnschutz. Thank you to all who joined us yesterday to hear Vice Chancellor for Research Thomas Flaig, MD present!

Effect of climate change? Clinic visits for eye disorders double when air pollutants are high. This new @cuanschutz.bsky.social study shows a link between climate change and rising cases of eye conditions. https://buff.ly/3V0y6Go #climatechange

BREAKING: We are thrilled to announce that a #research team led by #CUAnschutz will receive up to $46M in federal funding from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) to advance pioneering eye transplantation research aimed at curing #blindness: bit.ly/4f3VABz
