This month we continue to highlight Jefferson’s expertise on two topics that are top of mind nationally: the movement for racial equality and COVID-19. We highlight our scholars who examine the impact of the media on racial injustice, the role of food in structural racism, disparities in surgical rates for Black patients with esophageal cancer, and the impact of racial trauma. We write about Jefferson’s COVID-19 clinical trials, and how the virus may affect stroke. But we also look at the human side of the pandemic, helping readers approach conversations on masking and social distancing with hesitant family and friends, offering advice on dealing with grief and loss, and exploring the sustenance art can bring in times of crisis.
We also bring you the Jefferson Research Magazine, highlighting the applied, basic or programmatic, and clinical research areas in a print and online publication.
Clinical researchers are getting trials to patients with COVID-19 faster than ever. Here are the latest Jefferson trials testing potential COVID-19 therapies.
