Join CTSA visiting scholar Hanny Al-Samkari, MD, as he discusses the use of bevacizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets VEGF, to treat hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) — a rare disorder that causes anemia and often requires transfusions to treat.
Join Hanny Al-Samkari, MD for a presentation describing the revolutionary potential of anti-angiogenic therapy in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) and the evidence to date for systemic bevacizumab as a treatment for bleeding and anemia in HHT.
One of the UNC School of Medicine’s oldest and most prestigious endowed lectureships, the Merrimon Lectureship sponsors an annual event of public lectures and consultations involving a distinguished senior speaker addressing issues in the ethics and history of the health professions.
In this competition, selected students from across the medical school will share personal, profound and humorous lessons learned during their tenure in medical school. A panel of alumni and students will judge each of the speeches given for content and presentation. Click here to register for "What I Learned in Medical School Speech Competition" on … Read more
On Monday, April 12th Dr. Onnie Rogers, Assistant Professor in Psychology at Northwestern University, joins FPG’s Carolina Consortium on Human Development to present Situating Human Development in the Sociopolitical Context as part of our Spring 2021 series on Culture & Developmental Science: Considering Context, Culture, and Intersectional Approaches!

In this session of the NC TraCS Machine Learning Seminar series, Michele Jonsson-Funk, PhD, will introduce Machine Learning concepts and the potential implications of using Machine Learning for clinical research.
Tatiana Petrova, Ph.D., from the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, will give a virtual talk, titled: “Mechanisms of Lymphatic Vascular Specialization”.
The REDCap Forms Training Session (beginner) will teach users to build forms using the online designer or data dictionary (lecture/demo).
This presentation will discuss current knowledge on the association between sensorineural hearing loss & falls as well as a proposed mechanistic model. Preliminary results on whether the association is modified by hearing healthcare intervention (i.e., hearing aids and/or cochlear implants) will also be discussed.
Join the UNC Program for Precision Medicine in Health Care (PPMH) for Machine Learning & Precision Analytics, a free virtual mini-symposium from 1-3pm on Wednesday April 14. Presenters will explore information sources, data science tools that use the information, and the application of the resulting findings to health care. Another theme will be sources of bias in machine learning and how that bias can be minimized or eliminated.
This six-part orientation is strongly recommended for all clinical research personnel who are new to research or new to UNC-Chapel Hill.
