The Feinstein Institutes

The Feinstein Institutes has landed two spots on TIME's Best Inventions of 2024 list! iNav, invented by Daniel King MD PhD, Sandeep Nadella, MD, and Tiffany Zavadsky, CRNP, is an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered cancer detection tool that analyzes MRI and CT scans to identify patients at risk for pancreatic cancer, enabling faster diagnosis and treatment. https://bit.ly/3YHPHoT The Double Neural Bypass, from Chad Bouton and his team, combines brain-computer interface and neurostimulation technology to modulate brain and spinal pathways to promote long-term recovery after traumatic injury. In a first-of-its-kind clinical study, the technology—using implanted microchips in the motor and sensory portions of the brain and AI algorithms to reconnect the brain, body, and spinal cord—has demonstrated the ability to restore both movement and the sense of touch in a person living with paralysis. https://bit.ly/3YsibBz 👏 Help us congratulate our teams!

New research published in Clinical Diabetes demonstrates the power of culturally inclusive clinical trials. We're highlighting Dr. Renee Pekmezaris and colleagues’ recent work at the Institute of Health System Science for #GlobalDiversityAwarenessMonth. This study shows that by culturally adapting tele-monitoring interventions for specific communities it can lead to better outcomes and participation – like what they did for a in clinical trial aimed at helping Latino individuals with Type 2 Diabetes. This inclusive study was designed to better reflect population diversity and ultimately achieve more equitable health outcomes.

🗣️ As the Treasurer of the Elmezzi Graduate School of Molecular Medicine Chapter of the American Physician Scientists Association, I'm thrilled to invite you to the upcoming talk of our series “The Microscope and Beyond: Unveiling Medical Marvels” on Monday 10/28 at the Goldman Conference Room at The Feinstein Institutes.🔬 Be sure to join us for this exciting event featuring presentations from Dr. Kevin J. Tracey and Dr. David Langer. Their insights will be invaluable for anyone interested in a career as a physician scientist!👩🔬 You can find details below👇 The Feinstein Institutes Northwell Health American Physician Scientists Association (APSA) Santhoshi Poonacha

BEM Summit Announcement! 🚨 We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Neuromodec for the upcoming Sixth Bioelectronic Medicine Summit: Neurotechnologies for Individuals and Communities. This collaboration builds on the success of the 2024 NYC Neuromodulation Conference and gives us an opportunity to enhance the dialogue around neurotechnology and neuromodulation. Join us on March 4–5, 2024, as we unite scientists, engineers, and clinicians at the Garden City Hotel. We’re excited to announce that Marom Bikson will bring his expertise to our discussions and moderate our panel session, “Commercialization in Bioelectronic Medicine and Neuromodulation.” Three posters will be nominated by our scientific committee and invited for an oral presentation during the symposium. If selected, your submission will also be eligible for publication in Bioelectronic Medicine, with submission fees waived. Register and submit your poster and abstract for a chance to be recognized at the Summit! https://bit.ly/4evIMF9 #BEMsummit #networking #research #neuroscience Stavros Zanos Hubert Lim

It's not every day Oprah Winfrey's team reaches out to ask about the vagus nerve and inflammation, but when they do, Kevin J. Tracey answers the call. #inflammaging

It's official! 👏 Congratulations to Karina Davidson, director of the Institute of Health System Science, on her induction into the National Academy of Medicine at its annual meeting in Washington, D.C. Her election, announced last year, recognizes Dr. Davidson as one of the top in her field, reflecting her outstanding professional achievements and commitment to service. #NAMmtg https://bit.ly/4f8RoRu Katz Institute for Women's Health

Exercise. Medication. Diet. And bioelectronic medicine? Feinstein Institutes researchers are studying the science behind weight loss with clinical trials looking at focused ultrasound as a potential alternative to weight-loss drugs like #ozempic and #wegovy. This innovative approach could offer a new solution for individuals trying to lose weight without the potential side effects of medication.

📖 wun·der·kind (noun): a person who achieves great success when relatively young. Congratulations Carlos E. Bravo Iñiguez MD,PhD, for making 2024’s STAT News Wunderkind list! Under the mentorship of Jared Huston, the Elmezzi Graduate School of Molecular Medicine graduate is being recognized for his groundbreaking research in #bioelectronic medicine and innovative approach studying vagus nerve stimulation to address hemorrhage and hemophilia. Let’s all leave Dr. Bravo-Iñiguez a huge kudos below and check out his own thoughts on the prestigious honor in the video ⤵️ #research #science Northwell Health

This is how we honour our tissue donors! We do it by -literally- rebuilding them in a virtual universe, at nanoscale, and let them live forever. In a beautiful demonstration of quantitative nanoscale anatomy, we were able to show how Cell bodies and single nerve fibers look like in 3D - in a sample of Nodose Ganglion donated by a generous tissue donor. What you see is a 500 micron long and 400 micron thick piece of what we have already imaged and now in the process of reconstruction. We are in the very act of building the future in quantitative anatomy. We are building a method that lets us image entire peripheral neural structures in nanoscale, and quantify its anatomical, histological and morphological features. We are taking cadaveric human anatomy study to a new level. I am so grateful that I landed in such a great lab and among such great people - this was only possible with their help.

🚨 The Feinstein Institutes announces its sixth institute: The Institute of Translational Research. “Our institute’s mission is to be a world-class hub for translational research, bridging bench-to-bedside approaches to find solutions to chronic diseases. Through this endowment and overall support, we are eager to roll up our sleeves and get to work.” — Doug Nixon, MD, PhD, Institute Director. 🌎 🧪 The future of medicine starts with key collaborations. By working together, our scientists will make a positive impact with new treatments for some of the most common diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease, HIV/AIDS, mental health disorders and more. Let's welcome our new friends to the Feinstein Institutes! https://bit.ly/4eXxXLv
