Simmons Lab featured in the news for Health Disparities work.

A very nice article was written about the health disparities work that the Simmons Lab has been doing in the community in Duluth, MN. It is nice to have people recognize the effort and help to broadcast your mission beyond the walls of academia. The project described in the article is a collaborative project with a colleague, Dr. Olihe Okoro, in the College of Pharmacy. The project is an effort to improve health outcomes and health access to African American men by increasing knowledge of men and women on health issues that are specific to the African American man. It is a dynamic approach that emphasizes the family and community connections to create lasting positive changes in the health and wellness of community stakeholder. Thank you to the Duluth News Tribune for reaching out for the interview. Here is the link to the original article: Duluth News Tribune article on the Simmons Lab community-based research

The Simmons Lab has been awarded a Whiteside Institute for Clinical Research Grant for clinical collaboration with St. Luke's Regional Cancer Center. This grant will fund research looking into identifying new biomarkers for lung cancer. We are very excited about this opportunity to create new knowledge that can have a direct impact on patient outcomes in the state of Minnesota. What a way to start off 2018!

Since I am teaching and waiting on renovations, I have some extra time on my hands

Often I am reminded that I did have a bit of an artistic streak in me back in the day. Here is my rendition of the ancestral plain with the symbolism of big cats and technicolor awesomeness! I think I could really be missing out on my true calling, lol. Nah!!!!!! but a guy can dream, right?
