What's happening in the gut could shape how well cancer treatments work.

Stanford Department of Medicine's Melody Smith and her lab are studying the connections between gut bacteria, antibiotic use and patient outcomes for people with blood cancers, including remission rates and side effects. https://stan.md/3PrFZ8v

The Stanford-HBCU Summer Research Program recently welcomed medical students from Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science and Science, Meharry Medical College and Morehouse School of Medicine to campus, signaling that the program is officially in full swing!

Beyond their research, they'll have the chance to build connections with residency program directors and current residents through workshops and networking opportunities.

We look forward to seeing what they discover over the next eight weeks.

Stanford Health Care Tri-Valley is growing! A new three-story wing will be added to the Pleasanton hospital, more than doubling the capacity of the emergency department and allowing the hospital's laboratory, pharmacy and sterile processing center to be located to larger spaces.

"This expansion reflects our commitment at Stanford Health Care to ensuring patients have access to the care they need — when and where they need it most," says David Entwistle, president and CEO of Stanford Health Care. https://stan.md/4uE1D8P

Through a new collaboration with Neighborhood X Labs, three Stanford Medicine teams welcomed a group of 19 San Francisco high school students to campus to explore careers in health and medicine.

Thanks to the Department of Medicine's Community Partnership Program, Culture and Community Building, and Health Equity Education groups, which coordinated and supported the visit and developed educational content on pathways to careers in medicine.

Wednesday's "AI in Asian Health: Therapeutic Frontiers and the Lung Cancer Journey" event explored how AI is transforming precision medicine for diseases that disproportionately affect Asian populations.

Department of Medicine's Bryant Lin, co-founder of Stanford Center for Asian Health Research & Education, opened with a reflection on his personal experience with Stage IV non-smoker lung cancer (the subject of his forthcoming book, "Sunshine: An Exploration of Living When You Are Dying") before the conversation turned to AI-driven advances in early detection, personalized therapeutics and equitable care.

Speakers included Kevin Li (Frazier Life Sciences), Thian Chew (Invion Limited) and Lei Xing (Stanford Radiation Oncology).

Hosted by Stanford CARE, Stanford Health Library and Stanford Department of Medicine's Culture and Community Leadership Team.

Eighty percent of diseases caused by inflammation are believed to be "driven by lifestyle-related factors that we can have some control over," says Department of Medicine's Tamiko Katsumoto in a feature from HuffPost exploring chronic inflammation.

"If you're going on a plane or a cruise this summer, I would say your risk of getting hantavirus is very close to zero," says Department of Medicine's Jorge Salinas.

This Stanford Medicine News article takes a deeper look at the recent hantavirus outbreak, which has made headlines across the globe and shares key insights from Salinas.

"I expect this hantavirus outbreak to end, but it won't be the last, and it's a reminder that outbreaks can occur in unpredictable locations," he explains.

Why are some people resistant to the adverse effects of excess body fat while others are predisposed?

Samuel Klein, a leading physician scientist in obesity, metabolism, and nutritional science, joins Department of Medicine's Euan Ashley on The Future of Medicine to discuss metabolically healthy obesity, insulin resistance, GLP-1 drugs and the hidden biology of fat.

The conversation explores why obesity affects people differently, how body fat communicates with the rest of the body, why liposuction does not improve metabolic health and how medications like Ozempic may be reshaping the future of medicine.

Yesterday's Medicine Grand Rounds presentation featured physician scientist Anthony Fauci.

During the presentation, Fauci discussed his 54 years at National Institutes of Health (NIH), transforming once-deadly diseases into manageable conditions, leading the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and helping develop COVID vaccines in record time. He also spoke about maintaining his identity as a physician-scientist and speaking truth to power throughout seven presidential administrations.

"My primary identity is as a physician. My supplemental identity is as a physician scientist, doing studies to have an impactful effect on what you're dealing with," he explained.

"Patients were experiencing significant barriers to accessing psychiatry services, and referrals often weren't leading to timely care."

That challenge helped inspire Stanford's Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH) Program, a collaborative care model that brings psychiatry, social work and behavioral health support directly into the primary care setting.

In this new Q&A, Department of Medicine's Amelia Sattler discusses how the program is helping primary care physicians identify mental health concerns earlier, collaborate more effectively across disciplines and connect patients with timely support.

The conversation also explores the real-world impact of integrated care, from reducing barriers to psychiatry access to helping stabilize patients experiencing severe mental health crises.
