Dean Robert A. Harrington discusses how clinical trials advance treatments, and how our participating patients often benefit from being closely monitored during the studies.

Whether it’s better blood pressure control in a heart study or improved diabetes management in a related trial, clinical trials may lead to some unexpected health improvements in addition to treating a specific illness.

The ultimate goal is to constantly improve patient care.

After 50 years of research, our scientists are testing a new oral treatment that targets a possible root cause of Alzheimer's disease, specifically a thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency in brain cells.

It can take decades of investigation to understand how diseases arise and to find a potential treatment that is considered safe and effective enough to test in clinical trials.

That is why government-funded grants, such as those from the National Institute of Aging (NIA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), are crucial for sustaining studies like this here at Weill Cornell Medicine and Burke Neurological Institute.

This clinical trial isn't just about science. It's about people.

Clinical trials like this can potentially translate lab discoveries into effective treatment options for patients, offering renewed hope.

What questions do you have for us about Alzheimer's research or clinical trials? We'd love to hear from you.

Whether it’s a check-up, follow-up, or urgent concern, physician assistants (PAs) are often the first friendly face patients see.

PAs help expand access to care with their expertise and compassion.

Our physician assistant students are committed to gaining valuable experience and essential knowledge to treat future generations of patients.

And the need for their expertise and compassionate care continues to grow.

“There are obvious gaps in our health-care system,” says Dr. Kelly E. Ragusa Porta, inaugural associate dean for physician assistant studies and director of our PA program. “And because PAs have the ability to practice in any area of medicine, we are able to pivot to fill some of those roles and deliver safe, effective health care.”

They’re not just part of the Weill Cornell Medicine team; they’re part of your health care journey.

Nearly half of all American adults are living with hypertension or high blood pressure. It’s not just an issue for adults anymore. High blood pressure is becoming increasingly common across all age groups.

High blood pressure can lead to heart disease, stroke, vision problems, and more.

Low stress ≠ low risk—genetics, diabetes, and lifestyle all matter.

The fix? Start with healthy habits. Medication may help, too.

Know your numbers. Protect your heart.

"We haven't always shown how scientific research impacts your daily life," says Dean Robert A. Harrington.

That is why we created the "Here's What We Know" series. Our goal is to expand information on vital topics, such as the risks of measles, the importance of clinical trials and cancer research, while fostering understanding and awareness.

We aim to tell stories that connect what we discover in the lab with treatment advances at your doctor’s office, and provide information in a meaningful way for you and your family.

Whether doing a body scan, sitting quietly, or moving through yoga, there’s no right or wrong way to begin. Just start—no pressure, no goals, just presence.

The United States is projected to face a shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036.

Academic Medicine contributes $728 billion to the economy annually, creating jobs that support American families and benefit local schools and businesses. The work done in academic medicine not only advances patient care but also trains future doctors and improves the health of people everywhere.

We’re proud to celebrate Academic Medicine Week with the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC)!
