UNC is the only medical institution in the world to use high frequency sound waves to inactivate brain tissue that causes epilepsy.

Researchers conduct new patient registry and radiation therapy study to improve outcomes for patients at high risk of liver cancer and those with early-stage cancer, respectfully

Carolina was named the 18th “Most Innovative Institution” among hundreds of universities across the nation by the Cure Innovation Index.

Researchers mailed the test to recipients across North Carolina and calculated a nearly 20% increase among residents who agreed to take the test, regardless of race or ethnicity.

The genetic tool allows doctors to better tailor treatments to each patient's unique subtype of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

The new study, led by researchers in the lab of Blossom Damania, PhD, has identified a new therapeutic target for difficult-to-treat cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma

The newly developed cells address a significant limitation present in existing treatment approaches and may offer a promising solution for acute myeloid leukemia.

Backed by new research findings, researchers at the UNC School of Medicine have developed a new reporting system that will allow researchers across the United States to confirm the genetic accuracy of their mouse models.

The findings suggest that people with bronchiectasis who also have chronic sinus disease may be more likely to have Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacteria that can make lung disease harder to treat.

The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has extended funding for biochemist Charles Carter, PhD, who seeks to prove how critical molecules began to read the genetic code, evolved together, and led to life on Earth billions of years ago.

Researchers have created heart monitoring sensors that conform to the skin, are comfortable, and can be worn while people are moving.

A new clinical trial that adjusts treatment as breast cancer evolves is now open and enrolling patients at UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
