A quick story. I’m on ambulatory medicine at the VA. Yesterday I went to get a patient from the waiting room. A Black man who served in Vietnam. When I introduced myself as Dr. Igwe, he gave me a very strange look. I asked if I had the wrong person, but he said “no, that’s me”.

Thrilled to share our new Nature Biomedical Engineering review article discussing algorithmic #fairness in #AI for medicine and healthcare. We discuss sources of algorithmic biases in healthcare, and emerging methods for mitigating biases. Led by our superstar grad student Richard J. Chen Journal Link:

Happy (relieved actually) to see this work, which began 9 years ago in my postdoc with ᐯIᑕTOᖇ ᑎIᘔET, finally written up. Tamm-Horsfall protein increases NETosis in UTI, plus pretty NETs pictures by Vicki Mercado-Evans, Ph.D.! From the Labs at Baylor College of Medicine biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I am looking forward to welcoming our first Health AI PhD student cohort Cedars-Sinai Academic Medicine! A program where intellectual stimuli, open discussion, and innovation will be emphasized. A 'think big' mentality paired with careful mentoring for our students. Can't wait!

In 2014-2021, 42.2% of MD-PhD program applicants had at least 1 publication (Table 2). In multivariate analysis, individuals were more likely to be accepted if they had a publication (Fig 3).

ECRs - dont forget to sign up for the Streptococcal GRS (Aug 10-11)!! Enterococci are welcome too! We have spots still available, so sign up and come hanging out with fellow ECRs before the main GRC. ***Abstract deadline for talk selections May 5!*** grc.org/streptococcal-… RT!

So grateful to have received this award to attend #CAP2024 this year, and to present at my first #pathology conference! Can’t wait to meet more of the path community!

Does the brain change during pregnancy? You bet it does. How about doing 26 MRI scans on a single person pre-conception to 2 years post-partum. WOW! Laura Pritschet and colleagues nailed it with their new paper in Nature Neuroscience. Key Points: - The authors point out that pregnancy

I love being a PhD student. it feels like I’m expected to be miserable or overwhelmed. but as a first-gen student, I’ve had to overcome a lot worse to get here. to read and write and learn for a living feels like a gift that I hope I never take for granted, inshallah 🙏🏽

Application for #Pathology residency officially submitted!! Excited, grateful, and reflecting on the journey to #Match2025. Congrats to everyone participating! Can’t wait to meet future colleagues over the next few months! #path2path #PathTwitter #pathmatch2025

Thrilled to report Patho-DBiT, just published in Cell 😊. It allows us to directly “see” all kinds of RNA species on the same clinical FFPE tissue slide, including mRNA, miRNA, snRNA, snoRNA, tRNA, etc, and splicing isoforms, genetic alterations (SNV, CNV, etc). Really a fun,
