Professional golfers, PGA TOUR Wives Association representatives, therapy dogs and New Orleans Saints cheerleaders and mascot all swung by UMMC to brighten the week for Children’s Hospital patients and their families. Sanderson Farms Championship play begins today at the Country Club of Jackson, with the winner to be determined Sunday afternoon.

UMMC has more than two dozen postdoctoral fellows focused on honing their skills inside and outside of the lab as they transition into independent scientists. In honor of National Postdoc Appreciation Week, meet a few of our postdocs and learn how they are improving training for their peers.

A new paper from UMMC scientists at The MIND Center shows small brain lesions may have an outsized influence on memory and language loss as people age. Once largely ignored by physicians, the presence of these small infarctions could be just as important as larger ones in predicting cognitive decline.

The Medical Center extends its sympathy to the family of a former faculty member in appreciation for the loved ones’ contributions to the academic health sciences center.

Several interesting events are scheduled for the upcoming weeks at the Medical Center.

Medical Center leadership is proud to announce the following additions to its faculty and leadership staff.
