NYU School of Global Public Health wins for STAT Madness entry

The STAT Madness pitch session at the STAT Breakthrough Summit East in Manhattan showcased some of the most exciting and innovative scientific research happening today. Just as basketball fans were glued to their March Madness scores, attendees at the summit eagerly listened as four teams presented their groundbreaking work to a panel of judges and the audience.

Described as the “Shark Tank” of science, the pitch session featured teams competing in STAT’s annual bracket-style competition, with a chance to win the coveted STAT Madness title. The judging panel included industry experts such as Cure CEO Seema Kumar, JobsOhio managing director of healthcare Tyler Allchin, STAT reporter Matthew Herper, and Weill Cornell Medicine professor Lonny Levin.

One standout team that presented their research was the New York University School of Global Public Health team, whose study on Hispanic patients’ higher mortality rates from respiratory failure caught the audience’s attention. The team discovered that Hispanic patients were five times more likely to be deeply sedated in the ICU compared to other patients, leading to poorer outcomes. Their findings suggest that by avoiding deep sedation, lives could potentially be saved, offering a hopeful solution to a serious healthcare disparity.

Other teams presented equally compelling research, including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center’s use of natural language processing to predict cancer patient outcomes, Rockefeller University’s discovery of a genetic link to breast cancer metastasis, and Johns Hopkins’ investigation of an antibody treatment for allergies. Each team showcased innovative approaches to solving complex medical problems, sparking new ideas and potential treatments in the field of healthcare.

The audience was particularly intrigued by the Johns Hopkins team’s study on using an antibody to prevent allergic reactions, which showed promising results in treating various food allergies. Participants who underwent the treatment demonstrated increased tolerance to their allergens, suggesting a potential breakthrough in managing severe allergies.

Overall, the STAT Madness pitch session exemplified the cutting-edge research being conducted in the healthcare and medical fields. With teams like NYU’s School of Global Public Health leading the charge in addressing healthcare disparities, the future looks bright for innovative solutions to complex medical challenges. As the STAT Madness competition continues, it’s clear that the intersection of science and healthcare is where true breakthroughs are happening. In a world where scientific research is more important than ever, events like STAT Madness are crucial for bringing visibility to groundbreaking discoveries. At the recent STAT Breakthrough Summit, speakers emphasized the significance of making science relatable to everyday life.

One speaker, Melissa Dupont, the global public affairs lead for neurology at Sanofi, highlighted the need to break down the barriers between traditional scientific settings and the general public. She stressed the importance of connecting the word “science” to the experiences of everyday individuals, rather than keeping it confined to labs and ivory towers.

One striking example mentioned at the summit was the use of omalizumab in toddlers and college-age students. Dupont explained that toddlers who are willing to eat anything handed to them may benefit from omalizumab, a medication commonly used to treat severe allergies. Similarly, college-age students who are venturing out on their own for the first time may also find this medication helpful in managing their allergies.

While STAT Madness doesn’t offer a prize beyond bragging rights, the platform serves as a vital tool for showcasing cutting-edge research. Given the current challenges facing science funding, it’s more important than ever to highlight the innovative work being done in labs around the world.

The voting for STAT Madness is now open, providing an opportunity for the public to engage with and support groundbreaking research. By participating in events like these, individuals can play a role in advancing scientific knowledge and making a tangible impact on society.

Overall, the STAT Breakthrough Summit underscored the need for ongoing dialogue and collaboration between the scientific community and the general public. By bridging the gap between research and everyday life, we can foster a greater appreciation for science and its transformative potential.
