Montefiore’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine announces free tuition in perpetuity for all medical students. We are profoundly grateful that Ruth L. Gottesman, EdD, Chair of the Einstein Board of Trustees, Montefiore Health System Board Member, and Professor Emerita of Pediatrics at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, has made a transformational gift to Montefiore Einstein—the largest to any medical school in the country—that ensures no medical student has to pay tuition again.

In an effort to improve and diversify scientific resources for cancer research, head and neck surgeon Thomas J. Ow, MD, MS, an investigator at Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center, has established a valuable library of head and neck squamous cell cancer cultures. Using a method called 'conditional reprogramming,' Dr. Ow was able to create cell lines directly from patient tumors. The resulting library of cell lines from Montefiore Einstein patients will ultimately help researchers everywhere better understand key characteristics of tumors in people from underrepresented groups, such as African American and Hispanic adults. The project was a goal of Dr. Ow's since he received a grant from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Dental & Craniofacial Research in 2018, along with funding from the Price Family Foundation and a grant for diversity research linked to a collaboration with MD Anderson Cancer Center and Baylor College of Medicine.

Diabetes affects over 38 million Americans. Maintaining near-normal blood sugar levels reduces complications.  Three papers co-authored by diabetes researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine were included in April’s issue of Diabetes Care, exploring emotional distress's impact on treatment adherence and therapy effects on patients' well-being.

Asthma-related hospital visits in #TheBronx exceed the state average by 3x! Social determinants of health (SDOH) such as inadequate housing are contributing factors.  Montefiore Einstein’s Dr. Sunit Jariwala and his team have developed ASTHMAXcel, an application designed to provide information on pollen counts and guidance on using a "peak flow meter" to anticipate asthma attacks.    Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ehEaHN-S    #MontefioreEinstein #ThisIsHealthEquity #Asthma #AsthmaAwareness #PublicHealth #ThisIsHealthEquity #BronxHealth #SDOH #HealthTech #AsthmaManagement #MedicalResearch #NPHW2024 #HealthTechnology #BronxCommunity #MedicalAdvancements #HealthyLiving #HealthcareAccess Albert Einstein College of Medicine Taylor & Francis Group

Montefiore Einstein was proud to host physicians from Ukraine to learn the latest pain management techniques for patients with phantom limb pain. Ours was one of only two New York institutions they visited to learn spinal cord stimulation and other procedures.    Dr. Allan L. Brook, Director, Interventional Neuroradiology; Dr. Seon-Kyu Lee, Neuroradiology; and Dr. Richard Zampolin, Neuroradiology, were among the Montefiore Einstein neuroradiologists who trained the Ukrainian team, which included Dr. Andrii Strokan, Chief Clinical Medical Officer, Feofaniya Clinical Hospital; Dr. Oleksandr Klymenko, of the hospital’s Center for Pain Management; and Dr. Adrii Khomenko, Feofaniya Clinical Hospital.   #MontefioreEinstein #FeofaniyaClinicalHospital #SpinalCordStimulation #PhantomLimbPain #Neuroradiology #Neuroradiologists #WarInjuries #PainManagement #UkrainianDoctors #Ukraine Albert Einstein College of Medicine #MontefioreRAD #FeoHospital
