A team of researchers has used advanced DNA sequencing to develop the most comprehensive atlas yet of genetic change through generations, laying the foundations for new insights into the roots...
Research in the Sundquist lab laid the foundations for the development of lenacapavir, a drug that prevents HIV infection with 99.9% to 100% efficacy and could dramatically lower infection rates...
During this time of uncertainty, leadership is actively advocating for research and planning strategically for the future. We have developed guidelines and a worksheet to help researchers who have received...
Leading scientists joined forces to explore how the microbes that live in and on our bodies can be leveraged to provide real-world solutions and improve health care.
Research has found that C. difficile, one of the most contagious hospital-acquired infections, spreads more than three times more than previously thought, moving covertly from surface to surface.
ELEVATE, one of 12 NIH-funded Maternal Health Research Centers of Excellence nationwide, aims to reduce maternal and fetal deaths. The center focuses on pregnant and postpartum women affected by substance...
On March 29, 2025, the University of Utah received a revised Notice of Award from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences restoring funding to the UM1 grant supporting the...
What if the answer your patient needs is locked behind a paywall? A program at U of U Health ensures all Utah doctors can find the best available medical evidence.
The results could ultimately help doctors reduce the risk of type 1 diabetes—or potentially even restore pancreas function in adulthood—by providing gut microbes that help the pancreas grow and heal.
Each year, about 200,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The condition, if left untreated, can rupture and be fatal. The multidisciplinary Aortic Disease Program...
Researchers, doctors, and community members came together to improve understanding of the full health, social, and even environmental impacts of these medications.
A combination of human genetic analysis and research in flies identified the protective gene, which could ultimately lead to better therapies for people with the seizure disorder.
Researchers in the College of Nursing are developing practical solutions and fostering community engagement to address the social factors outside of health care that impact health and well-being.
There may be up to a tenfold difference in risk for infants who are currently treated identically under clinical guidelines. The analysis is an important step toward more personalized care.
Since 2019, the University of Utah has been developing the world’s most advanced “neuroprosthesis” — an artificial upper arm and hand that is controlled by the user’s thoughts. Named the...
Much of health sciences research involves seeing the unseen: the genetic and bioinformatic data that underlies human health and disease. At the University of Utah, generating that data involves top-quality...
Health sciences research has more than doubled in size over the past 12 years, a trajectory that highlights U of U Health as a destination for leading faculty, learners, and...
Researchers led by U biomedical engineer Jan Kubanek developed a way to deliver therapeutic levels of drugs to the brain in ways that maximize their benefit and minimize risks.
