YCCI Podcasts
Faculty associated with the Yale Center for Clinical Investigation discuss their efforts to put knowledge to work for patients. They recount stories of research that helps obese children achieve a healthy body weight, addresses the root causes of cardiovascular disease in African Americans and offers the parents of autistic children proven strategies to help their children – in other words, research with real-life benefits.
