For ALS Awareness Month (May), the University of Michigan student organization chose Eva Feldman, M.D., Ph.D., to appear in their "Scientist Spotlight" feature to talk about the disease.
Funded by Michigan Medicine’s own Department of Neurology, a new grant will seek to give diabetic neuropathy patients new hope as it looks into how a particular gene affects the condition.
Postdoctoral Fellow Mohamed Noureldein, Ph.D., never expected to be awarded the NIH K99 "Pathway to Independence" grant on his first try. The NIH saw to give him this rare honor for his research on the effect of metabolic syndrome on dementia. Read our discussion with the young research star.
"Making a Difference." It's true that the incredible team at the Pranger ALS Clinic all greatly impact the lives of patients and their loved ones. However, there is one person who truly stands out as the force behind the scenes that makes patient care possible, and that is Sandy Lemkin, BBA, BSN, RN. We sat down with her in honor of her efforts

Edith Briskin Emerging Scholar Sarah Elzinga, Ph.D., led a team that published findings in Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience about an important pathway involved in cognition when placed on a high-fat diet.
In "A roadmap to ALS prevention: strategies and priorities" Drs. Eva Feldman and Stephen Goutman joined a group in publishing how it is possible to move toward making ALS a preventable disease in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychology.
Evan Reynolds, Ph.D., was part of a very select group of data scientists invited to the annual Future Leaders Summit by the Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS). This year's theme was "Responsible Data Science and AI," and Dr. Reynolds shared his perspective on the hot-button topic and how it affects his study of diabetes complications
