A challenge in treating COVID-19 is early prediction of patient outcomes. Here, we develop a functional assay for patient risk stratification based on clinically observed, unique vascular signatures of COVID-19. We integrate data from this assay with patient process of care information to determine predictive metrics for risk stratification.

This study is partnering with communities to identify the best ways to provide COVID-19 testing and vaccines to people who have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19. This includes communities of color, essential workers, immigrants and migrants, people in rural areas, and people with chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure. We want to train community outreach workers and peer recruiters from community and faith-based organizations to help reach these underserved populations with COVID-19 testing and COVID-19 vaccines - a strategy known as "community-based task shifting." Thus, we will be conducting focus groups and theater testing sessions and questionnaires with patients who have received COVID-19 health services and focus groups and interviews with key stakeholders and theater testing sessions and questionnaires with individuals who work in community outreach or peer health education organizations for COVID-19 health services.
The GET SET Study is a research study for women who take medicines to help keep breast cancer from coming back. These medicines are called endocrine therapies and include Tamoxifen and Arimidex. The study will test different kinds of extra support programs, such as daily text message reminders and telephone counseling sessions, for women taking these medicines. We want to learn which support programs help women take their medicine as it is prescribed by their doctor.
We want to see if an antibody we created can help reduce symptoms of Lupus by restoring function in immune cells affected by Lupus. We will be taking blood as well as reviewing medical records and current and past disease activity.
We are comparing an intervention that delivers medically tailored meals and provides weight loss counseling to an intervention that only delivers medically tailored meals, for individuals with diabetes, HIV, and food insecurity
To develop a definition consensus for hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) surgical interventions.
The study will analyze data about how students use instructional resources to discover how the use of those resources relate to student demographics (i.e., who uses which resources and to what extent) and learning outcomes. The resources under study are specifically those involving peer instructors such as learning assistant-led recitations and office hours, peer tutoring, and interactions with peers on instructional communication platforms such as Sakai and Piazza.
