The third annual Mini Med School, a 5-week lecture series featuring MD/PhD students, faculty and fellows at the UNC School of Medicine, will begin in February.

Join PROMISE PIs Dr. Susan Girdler, Dr. Friederike Jayes, and the PROMISE research staff for more information on participating in research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Diversity Program Consortium, to identify best mentoring practices for scientists underrepresented in biomedical research.

Virtual training on working with human trafficking victims available with free CME/CEU credits. This training will help healthcare providers with the tools to screen, identify, and connect patients affected by human trafficking. Program is open to all and starts January 27.

Senior Director of Curricular Affairs Mary Hauser and Senior Director of Medical Student Education Elizabeth Steadman will lead a range of initiatives.

NC TraCS Team Science is seeking to assist UNC researchers with the formation and development of multidisciplinary research teams focused on tackling challenging problems in clinical or translational medicine through our new Advancing Collaborative Team Research (ACTeR) Program. NC TraCS is currently accepting applications for Phase 1 ACTeR applications.

There is still time to submit your CV and letter of interest for the Curricular Representative position for the Simulation, Experiential Learning, and Training (SET) Center. This is unique opportunity for physicians to assist with the development, implementation, and evaluation of simulation-based medical education and work with the SET Center to support the implementation of the strategic plan. The application window has been extended to January 14.

Gabriel Dichter (UNC Psychiatry), Crystal Schiller (UNC Psychiatry), and David Lalush (Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering) have been awarded a 5-year $3.9-million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health to use simultaneous positron emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging (PET-MR) to examine the effects of estradiol on reward circuitry functioning in a transdiagnostic sample of women with perimenopausal-onset anhedonia and psychosis.

The event, sponsored by the Association of Professional Women in Medical Sciences (APWIMS) and the Office of Faculty Affairs and Leadership Development, will focus on supporting faculty navigating promotion.

Here are some of the School of Medicine IT educational technology training opportunities for January and February 2022.

Jenny Ting, PhD, is the recipient of the Illinois State University Distinguished Alumni Award for her outstanding immunology research.

Scientists at UNC-Chapel Hill led by Bryan L. Roth, MD, PhD, and colleagues from the University of Southern California and Northeastern University, have created and validated V-SYNTHES – a computational method to quickly screen billions of theoretical compounds for researchers to explore as potential therapies. Their work was published in Nature.

Four research teams at the UNC School of Medicine won $25,000 pilot grants with the goal of increasing collaborations throughout the neurosciences, as part of a UNC NeuroSpark event.
