The Department of Medicine will increase infrastructure and support for its PostDoctoral fellows. The VMI’s Dr. Iain Scott, PhD, and Dr. Sruti Shiva, PhD, will direct and oversee a new PostDoctoral Training Program (PDTP) that builds and amplifies on many of the Department’s existing career development programs.

Published in Science Advances, the study used a new algorithm to identify candidate cancer drugs for PH. The findings support broader use of this drug-repurposing platform for other non-cancerous conditions.

Congratulations to Dr. Partha Dutta who, with co-PI Dr. Radhika Muzumdar, was recently awarded a new NIH-NIA R01 titled, “Cardioprotective Role of Humanin in Aging.”

Prithu Sundd, PhD, has received the Basic Research Award from the Bayer Hemophilia Awards Program to identify the mechanism underlying joint-damage in hemophilia.

Not to boast, but we think our postdocs and junior faculty are pretty amazing!

On International Women’s Day, and every day, we recognize the exceptional women faculty and staff of the VMI. In a particularly challenging year, our women leaders, researchers, trainees, and admins have overcome significant obstacles to do the work we value here.
