An AI-enabled software tool developed by WashU Medicine researchers is the first device to predict malignant cerebral edema, a dangerous complication of acute stroke.

WashU Medicine researchers have shown in mice that a medication-design technique in which modular components of anti-cancer drugs are administered separately and assembled in the body — using what’s known as “click chemistry” — is more effective than standard treatments at targeting and shrinking tumors.

Studying mice, WashU Medicine researchers have identified communication signals linking skeletal muscle, the brain and brown fat tissue that play an important role in aging. Interventions in older mice that restore the signaling to that of young mice could promote healthier aging.

WashU Medicine has received a $150,000 grant from Research to Prevent Blindness to support eye research.

The Steven & Susan Lipstein BJC Institute of Health building at WashU Medicine was recognized for its sustainable design and sustainability features.

C-BRAIN, the consortium co-founded by WashU Medicine and directed by neurologist Randall J. Bateman, MD, brings together members from academia, major pharmaceutical companies and philanthropic organizations.

Research led by WashU Medicine neurologist Jorge Llibre-Guerra, MD, provides the first direct evidence that some parts of Latin America are moving in the opposite direction of dropping dementia rates in the U.S. and other wealthy nations.

WashU Medicine and BJC doctors can now focus less on note-taking and more on interacting with patients with the aid of an AI transcriber.

WashU Medicine neurologist Timothy M. Miller, MD, PhD, has received the 2026 Potamkin Prize for Research in Pick’s, Alzheimer’s, and Related Diseases, one of the most prestigious international honors in dementia research.

A new study led by WashU Medicine researchers including Jeffrey I. Gordon, MD, suggests that an intestinal disorder linked to malnutrition and stunted growth may be transmitted from one generation to the next via the small intestine’s microbiome.
