New Haven is the latest stop on Elspeth Hill’s professional journey. A plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Yale School of Medicine, her career has taken her from the United Kingdom, where she’s from and where she earned her medical degree, to the...
Medical students with co-occurring disabilities are more likely than their peers to experience burnout, a new Yale study finds. That risk increases if the student identifies as Asian or in a racial or ethnic group typically underrepresented in the medical...
Treatment with a molecule known as A485 can quickly and temporarily increase levels of white blood cells, a critical part of the body’s immune system, an effect that is difficult to deliver with currently available pharmaceuticals, a new Yale study finds...
Pulmonary rehabilitation, an essential component of care for patients with chronic respiratory conditions, is difficult for millions of Americans to access, a new Yale-led study reveals. The findings, researchers say, reveal geographic regions where this...
Yale researchers have developed a new tool that can assess the state of equity and inclusion in medical school learning environments and provide feedback on how schools can make improvements. Using the tool could yield the timely and recurrent information...
Whereas humans have one receptor on their tongues that can detect all sorts of sweet things, from real sugar to artificial sweeteners like aspartame, insects have many receptors that each detect specific types of sugars. Yale researchers have now...
When developing machine learning models to find patterns in data, researchers across fields typically use separate data sets for model training and testing, which allows them to measure how well their trained models do with new, unseen data. But, due to...
A new Yale study finds that M.D.-Ph.D. programs in the United States have become less socioeconomically diverse in recent years. Between 2014 and 2019, applicants from families with higher household incomes were accepted at increasingly higher rates, a...
Around 98.5% of human DNA is non-coding, meaning it doesn’t get copied to make proteins. A new study has connected many of these non-coding regions to the genes they affect and laid out guidelines for how researchers can continue this work going forward....
Understanding the link between brain activity and behavior is among the core interests of neuroscience. Having a better grasp of this relationship will both help scientists understand how the brain works on a basic level and uncover what specifically goes...
