This week Aaron Carroll is talking to Elmer Sanders and Matt Allen from  Project SEED. Project SEED has opened doors to a career path in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields to hundreds of economically disadvantaged high school junior or senior students living in the Indianapolis area since 1973. Many have gone on to become doctors, nurses, biologists, chemists, researchers, or public health professionals thanks to this summer research program that opens doors typically closed to these students. Hear how this local program — partially funded by the Indiana CTSI —  is among the most successful in the nation as a training ground for future careers in STEM and building strong community leaders.    You can learn more about Project SEED (Summer Experience for the Economically Disadvantaged) or begin an application here

On this episode of the Healthcare Triage podcast, Aaron is talking to Dr. Karen Pollok and Dr. Jamie Renbarger about their research into the treatment of osteosarcoma and other pediatric cancers using personalized medicine. You'll learn about the development of cell lines and creation of models that can be used to battle cancers. We'll also hear about the experiences of one patient, Tyler Trent, who wondered about how the tissues he contributed to the research were used, and whose curiosity and willingness to share what he learned with the public has helped raise awareness of this kind of treatment.    The Healthcare Triage podcast is sponsored by Indiana University School of Medicine whose mission is to advance health in the state of Indiana and beyond by promoting innovation and excellence in education, research and patient care. IU School of Medicine is leading Indiana University's first grand challenge, the Precision Health Initiative, with bold goals to cure multiple myeloma, triple negative breast cancer and childhood sarcoma and prevent type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.

Aaron Carroll talks to Dr. Sherif Farag of Indiana University about his work harnessing the power of patients' own immune systems to treat blood cancers like multiple myeloma.  The Healthcare Triage podcast is sponsored by Indiana University School of Medicine whose mission is to advance health in the state of Indiana and beyond by promoting innovation and excellence in education, research and patient care.

Aaron Carroll talks to Dr. David Haas about gestational diabetes. You may know that women can develop diabetes during pregnancy, and may know that their blood sugar and insulin return to normal shortly after giving birth. What you may not know is that this condition is associated with a host of negative outcomes. Insulin treatment during pregnancy can impact the growth of the baby in utero. Experiencing gestational diabetes is also associated with a huge increase in risk for developing type II diabetes later in life. So, what can we do about this?

We talk a lot about different areas of health research, and how that research may lead to treatments. Today we're talking about research into healthcare itself, and how systems can be improved to deliver better outcomes and better healthcare. Our guest today is Dr. Peter Embi, MD, who is president and CEO of the Regenstrief Institute at the IU School of Medicine. He'll tell us about the Institute's work, and how making positive changes to how care is delivered on an institutional level can change care for millions of patients.

Aaron talks to Dr. Tatiana Foroud about her career and her current work in genetics and genomics. Her work spans from the early days of searching for DNA markers for rare disorders to today's search for genetic causes and potential treatments around Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Foroud's career relates a story about how the technology and techniques have developed over decades, and how these breakthroughs could lead to new treatments. We'll also get into the explosion in home genetic testing, and how this trend has changed public perception of genetic testing and treatments.
