The Summer Health Professions Education Program celebrates 30 years of preparing students who are underrepresented in the health professions for careers in health and medicine. The program has introduced nearly 30,000 first- and second-year college students, including those at the UI, to careers in medicine, dentistry, and other health professions.

It’s no coincidence that several researchers from Harvard recently migrated to the UI. Drawn by the Iowa Neuroscience Institute, Aaron Boes, Tracey Cho, Joel Geerling, and Joseph Glykys cite the collaborative environment, support for young investigators, and the opportunity to launch independent labs among the reasons they chose UI.

ProtoStudios, the University of Iowa's 3D printing organization, can help health care providers see what's happening inside their patients before they make their first incision.

The University of Iowa Libraries has awarded 15 grants for Open Educational Resource (OER) projects for the 2019-2020 academic year. OpenHawks is a campus-wide grant program that funds faculty efforts to replace current textbooks with OERs for enhanced student success.

Thousands of University of Iowa students participated in spring 2019 commencement ceremonies May 9-12. (The commencement season isn’t quite complete—the College of Dentistry will host its commencement on June 7.)

Michael Abramoff, professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences in the Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine, received the 2019 Cultivation Corridor Iowa Biotech Leader Award this week as part of the Iowa Biotechnology Association's annual conference.

More than 4,300 University of Iowa students will receive their degrees at spring 2018 commencement ceremonies, which begin Thursday, May 10, with the College of Pharmacy and end on Friday, May 25, with the College of Dentistry. All other ceremonies will take place May 11–13.

University of Iowa researchers have uncovered a link between sleep apnea and multiple myeloma, a rare but aggressive blood cancer. Their findings could improve treatment of the disease.

An international team of scientists, including UI biophysicist Chris Ahern, used a lethal scorpion toxin to capture detailed, 3D pictures of a protein involved in pain. The toxin locks the pain protein into a “pose,” allowing researchers to see, for the first time, several unexpected interactions in how protein works.

The University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine celebrated Match Day on Friday, March 15. A total of 136 students in the college participated in the match through the National Residency Matching Program, and 35 percent of those students will receive their training in Iowa.

Christopher Cooper, a pediatric urologist at the University of Iowa, began researching the issue of school children's bathroom access after noticing a high frequency of urinary tract infections and higher rates of voiding dysfunction among his young patients.

A new gallery of biomedical research images is on display on the ground floor of the Carver Biomedical Research Building. The images, each measuring 5 feet in diameter and mounted on back-lit frames, highlight the breadth of foundational research conducted in the Carver College of Medicine.
