Yale School of Medicine (YSM) was awarded a $1.69 million gift from Coefficient Giving to advance the development of an effective parasite vaccine led by Richard “Rick” Bucala, YC ’79, MS ’79, MD, PhD, chief of the Section of Rheumatology, Allergy, and Immunology, Waldemar Von Zedtwitz Professor of Medicine (Rheumatology), and professor of pathology and of epidemiology (microbial diseases).

In a new study, Yale researchers examined associations between industry payments and prescribing patterns among physicians treating pulmonary arterial hypertension, a rare but serious condition characterized by progressive damage to the arteries that supply blood to the lungs.

Sarwat Chaudhry, MD, associate dean for student research, welcomed attendees to the 38th annual Student Research Day on May 6. The annual tradition celebrates the research accomplishments of Yale School of Medicine (YSM) students.

In the lab of Erica Herzog, MD, PhD, scientists are working to cure pulmonary fibrosis, researching the condition's underlying mechanisms to inform approaches for prevention and treatment.

A new Yale School of Medicine study points to progressive stiffening of the pulmonary artery, the main vessel supplying blood to the lungs, as a potential explanation for some of the age-related declines in heart and lung function.

Scientists created a cellular atlas of the lungs to pinpoint cells especially vulnerable to aging. They could be targets for preventing acute and chronic lung diseases.

People diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease often experience markedly different symptoms, disease trajectories, and responses to treatment. To better understand this variability, a new study from researchers at Yale School of Medicine used single-cell sequencing technology alongside complementary spatial transcriptomic and proteomic analyses to examine lung tissue from people with COPD in unprecedented detail.

A new review aims to help clinicians better recognize subtle signs of pneumonitis before they escalate.

For Erica Herzog, MD, PhD, being a mentor is a privilege that is immensely fulfilling. This summer, two of Herzog’s mentees met career benchmarks, and both credit Herzog and her guidance for getting them there.
