Happy #WomenInMedicine month! Throughout September, we will highlight several women physicians who have positively impacted medicine and our residency program. 🤩 Starting us off is Dr. Andrea Jonas, one of our lovely Associate Program Directors! #WIM #WIMMonthrea

Only a few high-profile mutations in genes like BRCA1 and BRCA2 are regularly used to predict cancer risk. New findings suggest that tens or maybe even hundreds of other inherited gene variants influence breast cancer development for better or worse. stanmed.stanford.edu/inherited-gene…

Bioengineer Manu Prakash finds joy in the beauty and mystery of studying cells: 'It’s beautiful because of the mystery. It’s almost outlandish.' He hopes to inspire future scientists with that same sense of wonder. stanmed.stanford.edu/beauty-cells-s…

The APOE4 genetic variant, carried by about 20% of people, significantly raises Alzheimer’s risk. But should we boost the gene’s potency or suppress it? A recent discovery by Stanford Medicine neurologist Mike Greicius, MD, may provide the answers we need. stan.md/3z5LMbn

🌟 September is Women in Medicine Month! Let's celebrate contributions of women in healthcare. Stanford Medicine women pioneers include Adelaide Brown (1868-1939), a public health advocate for California women. Visit our online exhibit to learn more: laneguides.stanford.edu/adelaide-brown 🌟

Cyrus Buckman aspires to bring improved healthcare access to people in underserved communities. While pursuing an MD at Stanford Medicine & MBA at Stanford Graduate School of Business, Cyrus reflects on how being a KH scholar has helped him acquire a broader perspective on complex healthcare issues.

Stanford Engineering researchers applied a common food dye to an animal’s skin, making its living, internal organs visible to the naked eye. This harmless, non-invasive technique could replace some X-rays and assist in early skin cancer detection. engineering.stanford.edu/news/using-com…

What is a cell? It’s the basic building block of all living things. And though cells vary widely in size, shape and function -- some features pop up again and again. stanmed.stanford.edu/cell-component…
