From detecting heart risks earlier in pregnancy to identifying lifestyle changes that may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease, researchers across Illinois and Wisconsin are advancing care for patients at every stage of life.

Throughout April, panels convened as part of the “Celebrate Research!” program at the School of Medicine’s two campuses, as well as at sites in Illinois and Wisconsin, to showcase work across the enterprise, impacting the future of care in many healthcare specialties and bolstering Advocate Health’s commitment to discovery.

The events in the Midwest featured the ongoing collaboration between clinicians in Illinois and Wisconsin and researchers at the School of Medicine. The theme of the two panels — maternal health/pediatrics and neuroscience/aging — emphasized how this work has the potential to provide valuable insight and improve lives from as early as conception into the later years of life.
