We appreciate the dedication of bargaining teams and union leaders who support our valued employees.”

Kerri Winters-Stone, Ph.D., addresses the link between ambulatory dysfunction and mortality in an Oncology Nurse Advisor story.

OHSU researchers find that a vaccine originally developed to prevent bacteria-caused diarrhea has now also been found to help infant nonhuman primates grow faster. Mark Slifka, Ph.D., says: “The 160 million people worldwide who get sick every year from Campylobacter bacteria is far too many. We need a new tool to prevent bacterial diarrhea in babies and to enable more children to grow into healthy adults, and this vaccine approach looks very promising.”

New OHSU research finds that exposing a pregnant subject to THC altered the placental and fetal epigenome, potentially leading to lifelong health outcomes for offspring. The study’s lead author, Jamie Lo, M.D., says, “I hope our work can help open up a broader dialogue about the risks of cannabis use in the preconception and prenatal period, so we can improve children’s health in the long run.”

At its June meeting, the OHSU board of directors adopts a break-even budget.
