A research group led by investigators at Dartmouth and Massachusetts General Hospital, and including seven other institutions across the U.S., have received a five-year, $13 million funding award from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). Their project will test the effectiveness of video as a communication tool during patient visits for people living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and their caregivers.
The new Biological Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Shared Resource at the Geisel School of Medicine provides investigators across Dartmouth’s research community new tools and resources for studying the molecular components of the human cell. This capability helps researchers to make disease diagnoses, identify new biomarkers and drug targets, and gain a deeper understanding of biological processes and the causes of diseases such as cancer.
Soni Lacefield, PhD, a professor of biochemistry and cell biology at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine, has been named a 2025 Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)—the world’s largest general scientific society and the publisher of the journal Science.
Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine and Dartmouth Health have established 3D Scholars—a one-year certificate program that is now accepting applications for the program starting in September of 2025—that equips physicians with an advanced understanding of the field to drive progress in medical device development.
Very early exposure to even a very small dose of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in infant mice can lead to cognitive decline later in life, according to findings from a new Dartmouth-led study, published in the journal PLoS Pathogens. This is significant because of emerging data in human studies showing an association between HSV and Alzheimer’s disease in humans.
Findings from a new Dartmouth-led study, published in the journal mBio, highlight key differences in the gut microbiome of infants with cystic fibrosis (CF) compared to that of healthy infants, and how these alterations may adversely affect their health.
Geisel researcher Paul Barr, PhD, MSc, discusses his work to improve patient outcomes through the development of new tools to enhance communications between patients and their healthcare providers.
Dartmouth School of Medicine Dean Duane Compton, PhD, has announced that Marnie Halpern, PhD, has been reappointed to a second term as chair of the Department of Molecular and Systems Biology. Halpern has served as chair since 2020, and was named the Andrew Thomson, Jr. MD 1946 Professor at Geisel in 2021.
Findings from a new study, conducted by a team of researchers at Dartmouth’s Geisel School of Medicine and collaborating institutions and published in the journal e-clinical Medicine, a member of the Lancet family of journals, show beneficial effects on functionally important respiratory symptoms when persons who smoke switch completely to e-cigarettes.
