Getting to the “ Heart ” of Cardiometabolic Health Disparities
NIH Director ’ s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Annual Robert S. Gordon Jr. Lecture
Cardiometabolic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease, are exceedingly common and are collectively considered the leading causes of death worldwide. In this lecture, Dr. Lisa Cooper will describe the current state of cardiometabolic health disparities among adults in the United States. She will then discuss how interventions to reduce cardiometabolic health disparities are designed, implemented, and evaluated, and how these interventions address contributors to disparities at multiple levels...

Robotic hand combines sense of touch with algorithms to achieve high level of dexterity
This robotic hand combines an advanced sense of touch with motor-learning algorithms to achieve a high level of dexterity. Because the hand does not rely on vision, it can manipulate objects in very difficult lighting conditions.

Demystifying Medicine Lecture Series: mRNA: Will it Deliver Us from Illness?
The Demystifying Medicine Series, jointly sponsored by FAES and NIH, includes presentations on pathology, diagnosis, and therapy in the context of major disease problems and current research. Primarily directed toward PhD students, clinicians and program managers, this series is designed to help bridge the gap between advances in biology and their application to major human diseases. Each session includes clinical and basic science components presented by NIH staff and invitees. All students, trainees, fellows, and staff are welcome to participate.For more information go tohttps://demystifyingmedicine.od.nih.gov/Air date: ...
