In the past four decades, the rate of childhood obesity has quadrupled, increasing kids’ risk of serious conditions. A new research center based at University of Utah Health aims to reduce childhood obesity throughout the Mountain West, focusing on rural and small-town communities.
Sophia Friesen Mental health issues are one of the most common causes of disability, affecting more than a billion people worldwide. Addressing mental health difficulties can present extraordinarily tough problems: what can providers do to help people in the most precarious situations? How do changes in the physical brain affect our thoughts and experiences? And at the end of the day, how can everyone get the care they need? Answering those questions was the shared goal of the researchers who attended the Mental Health, Brain, and Behavioral Science Research Day in September.
An eight-year project aims to uncover the complex web of interacting factors that drive oral health inequity, which in turn affects many other serious health conditions.
Between and around the billions of neurons in the human brain is an interlinked net of proteins and sugars, which can regulate memory, learning, and behavior. A new tool developed by University of Utah Health researchers has uncovered detailed, dynamic patterns in this network's structure.
Explore how Huntsman Cancer Institute's 25-year legacy of excellence is reaching new heights and advancing cancer treatments of the future beyond the standard of care today.
The places we grew up leave indelible marks on us, locked in the atoms of the toughest structures in our bodies. Subtle differences in tooth chemistry could help determine the identity of fallen soldiers and other human remains—if we can learn to read that history.
Demand for cancer genetic testing is on the rise, but there's not enough genetic counselors to guide patients through the process. Researchers say chatbots could be the answer.
Popular ideas about weight loss often aren’t based in science and can actively harm your health. Here are some of the most common myths, along with some tips to improve your health sustainably while maintaining a healthy attitude toward weight and food.

Heloisa Soares, MD, PhD, and Skyler Johnson, MD, were selected as members of The Society of Huntsman Translational Scholars for their contributions to advancing cancer research and patient care.
The survey results illustrate the care barriers that rural and frontier communities face throughout the Mountain West. This groundbreaking work helps Huntsman Cancer Institute address these disparities more effectively.
Long-term, heritable changes in gene activity fundamentally shape our biology, trigger many of our diseases, and set the clock on how we age. Now, a team of U of U Health scientists is starting an ambitious project to map these changes across the entire human genome.
An AI-based analysis of over 2 million hospital visits has found that most pneumonia diagnoses made in the hospital will change from a patient’s entrance to their discharge; clinical notes on pneumonia diagnoses reflect similarly high uncertainty.
Early menopause significantly raises breast cancer risk, highlighting the need for proactive health screenings, according to research from Huntsman Cancer Institute and the Spencer Fox Eccles School of Medicine.
For people with long COVID, a few weeks of symptoms stretches into months or even years, making a return to normal life feel impossible. The Long COVID Clinic aims to find solutions.
