research study

Mike Sertle, manager of conservation programs, and Sara Burns, water program specialist, join Dr. Mike Brasher to share the exciting story of how DU is growing conservation through innovative partnerships around the many benefits of wetlands and waterfowl habitat. From water quality to flood water retention and coastal resiliency, DU’s new work in Sustainability and Nature-based Solutions is attracting more partners, funding sources, and ideas to our waterfowl and wetlands conservation mission.

Treating cancer has become increasingly difficult as cells develop resistance. Northwestern investigators have sought to address this issue on the cellular level through the development of a novel FateMap tool, used to predict the future behavior of cancer cells before they are exposed to cancer-fighting drugs. In this episode, Yogesh Goyal, PhD, discusses his latest research, published in Nature, and how his lab is addressing complex problems through an interdisciplinary approach. 

The aim of a clinical trial is to safely, and in a controlled manner, study a brand new therapy, perhaps a drug, new drug combination, targeted therapy or medical device that hasn't been seen before. We might also be testing an already approved drug but for a different indication or disease.

Sometimes a trial is designed to compare a new treatment with a standard treatment to find out which one is more effective or has fewer side effects, or maybe it's just looking at quality of life. Scientists may ask: Is this NEW treatment easier for patients to deal with such as a new pill versus going to an infusion center for an IV infusion? This could be a clinical trial.
