Research into the neuroscience of mental health could help create personalized approaches and more effective treatments.
Meeting Patients Close to Home

The opening of the Bronzeville Outpatient Center makes world-class healthcare more accessible.
The Immune Frontier: How Northwestern’s Center for Human Immunobiology is Redefining Disease Research

The Center for Human Immunobiology explores new scientific innovations that translate into treatments—and potential cures—for immune-regulated diseases.
Advancing Survivorship, Strengthening Pediatrics

More than 80 percent of childhood cancers are curable, but survivors face a high risk of secondary cancers as adults. Tara Henderson, MD, MPH, investigates the long-term effects of treatment while aiming to find safer cures.

Research Briefs

Diabetes Drug May Serve as Alternative Treatment Option for Hydrocephalus

A drug commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes may reduce excess fluid in the brains of patients with hydrocephalus, which could help treat the disease less invasively than current treatments, according to a Northwestern Medicine study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Carbon Dioxide May Drive Lung Damage in COPD

A new Northwestern Medicine study is challenging long-held assumptions about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to results published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Memories Drift Across Neurons Over Time

In a new study published in Nature, Northwestern neurobiologists have found that the brain’s internal GPS changes each time we navigate a familiar, static environment.
Obesity Drugs Regulate Neural Systems to Curb Appetite

A recent Northwestern Medicine study has identified novel neural circuits modulated by the diabetes and obesity-management drugs semaglutide and tirzepatide that help suppress appetite, according to findings published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation.
