Tanner Perschau, 2nd-year Speech-language Pathology graduate student and 2025-26 NC Schweitzer Fellow, pens op-ed about the communication barriers between people with aphasia and healthcare professionals.

Researchers with UNC School of Medicine, Gillings School of Global Health, and Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center collaborated on a new study that highlights a simple but effective way to improve women’s health screenings for women who are often missed by traditional programs.

Dissociation of G protein from drug-bound GPCR (orange) is captured in accelerated molecular dynamics simulations, starting from the bound (blue) to free state (red), with a trace of its C-terminal residue colored in a blue-white-red scale.

UNC researchers discovered how a key step in cell signaling works by showing exactly how G proteins detach from receptors that many common medicines target.

The society recognizes distinguished academic leaders, educators, and researchers whose contributions have earned national and international acclaim.

Breathing wildfire smoke, even briefly, can change the bacteria and immune cells in your lungs, which may contribute to adverse health effects.

UNC School of Medicine researchers led an international clinical trial of patients with generalized myasthenia gravis, finding the therapy is safe and effective across all subtypes.

A new clinic will bring ALS care to support the unique needs of individuals living in rural North Carolina.

A new multi-site study, co-led by researchers at the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center and Wake Forest University School of Medicine, has demonstrated that a direct-to-patient digital health program can significantly increase recommended lung cancer screening for high-risk individuals.

Microbiologists at the UNC School of Medicine identify a molecule that helps boost antibiotic effectiveness against staph, tuberculosis, and salmonella.

A new study is uncovering ways to assess early suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children as young as 5 –years old.

A new study published in Neuron, led by Juan Song, PhD, sheds light on how Alzheimer’s disease affects the brain. The findings could lead to new forms of therapy.
