Connecting people with population genomic screening
Megan Roberts, an implementation scientist at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy and member of the Implementation Science team at NC TraCS, and her colleagues used a TraCS 2K grant to kick off a longer, NIH-funded study on how to help patients take advantage of genomic screening.
Roberts and her colleagues are building a toolkit to help health systems launch and sustain population genomic screening programs—expanding access to personalized healthcare. "We're trying to help teams adopt, implement, and sustain population genetic screening programs by learning from one another," Roberts says.
Designing a new tool for women's pain relief
Lauren Carlberg, a post-doctoral research associate at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy, is contributing to the drug delivery mechanism and science being developed by Poppi Biotherapies, a UNC-affiliated startup that wants to help women who suffer from vestibulodynia. The group is collaborating with FastTraCS to develop a device that can deliver pain relief directly to the painful tissue.
TraCS announces 2nd cohort of Innovation to Impact (i2i) Award recipients
We are pleased to announce the second cohort of Innovation to Impact (i2i) Award recipients. These awards support multi-year projects that address critical scientific and operational barriers in translational science, with the goal of accelerating the development and delivery of effective interventions at UNC Health and beyond.
Klara Klein is bringing science to the people
Klara Klein, an endocrinologist at the UNC School of Medicine and an NC TraCS K12 scholar, is interested in bridging the data-driven world of research and the patient-focused world of healthcare. She’s doing this by developing a tool that will plug into UNC Health’s system of electronic health records to help connect patients with clinical trials.
StoryMap explores how translational science improves medical research
Translational science works to make biomedical research—from basic research on genetics and cell biology to clinical trials and public health outreach—more efficient and more aligned with patient needs. In this new interactive StoryMap, we chart how NC TraCS supports scientists at every stage of this process, fueling impactful research and powering the future of next-generation medicine in North Carolina.
