Researchers focus on helping dying patients take care of unfinished business Hospice workers have watched patients emerge from comas and cling to life long enough to tell someone they love or forgive them. This phenomenon of taking care of unfinished business has been observed, but researchers from the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing and the College of Arts and Sciences at Case Western Reserve University will begin groundbreaking studies to understand what drives the dying to live long enough to resolve these issues.

Petascale computational tools could revolutionize understanding of genomic evolution Technological advances in DNA sequencing make determining how living things are related possible by analyzing the ways in which their genes have been rearranged on chromosomes. However, inferring these evolutionary relationships from rearrangement events requires massive computing impossible even on the most advanced computing systems available today.

NIH awards $8.5 million for research on pharmaceuticals for children Studying drugs in pediatric populations is challenging because drugs often affect children differently than they do adults. The scarcity of pediatric studies limits the ability of doctors and scientists to predict drug dosing, safety and efficacy in children. To address this gap, the National Institutes of Health announced today 18 grants to help determine outcome measures and increase the likelihood of success of future trials of treatments for children.

Pitt researcher to co-direct national consortium on facial birth defects University of Pittsburgh and University of Iowa researchers will lead a $9 million, five-year initiative to study the cause of facial birth defects. The FaceBase Consortium will create an encyclopedic database of how the faces of children develop. The hope is that this database will provide researchers with the information needed to intervene when facial development starts to go wrong or prevent it from happening in the first place.
