The Georgetown Howard Universities Center for Clinical and Translational Sciences (GHUCCTS) manages clinical research units (CRUs) at both lead institutions which house most of the clinical research activity of their institutions. Activity at the Georgetown CRU diminished markedly during the pandemic. Risk is being managed by physically segregating COVID related research, testing of personnel and
In 1854, case mapping linked a cholera epidemic to a water pump source. Modern IT is applied to understanding disease clustering, role of toxins, with emerging application to stress and health care access. The District of Columbia has diverse ethnic groups and marked disparities of healthy living space, care facilities, and geographic variation of disease. We plan to leverage advanced IT and

Deep learning paired with wearable passive sensing data predicts deterioration in anxiety disorder symptoms across 17-18 years
Recent studies have demonstrated that passive smartphone and wearable sensor data collected throughout daily life can predict anxiety symptoms cross-sectionally. However, to date, no research has demonstrated the capacity for these digital biomarkers to predict long-term prognosis. We utilized deep
The cross-sectional association of renal dysfunction with tests of cognition in middle-aged adults with early type 2 diabetes: The GRADE Study
The association of renal dysfunction with tests of cognition in type 2 diabetes has been examined in individuals with moderate and advanced renal disease. Here we examine the association of renal dysfunction with tests of cognition in a cohort of middle-aged adults with short duration diabetes (mean
Age-dependent anticonvulsant actions of perampanel and brivaracetam in the methyl-6,7-dimethoxy-4-ethyl-beta-carboline-3-carboxylate (DMCM) model of seizures in developing rats
The antiseizure drugs commonly used as first- and second-line treatments for neonatal seizures display poor efficacy. Thus, drug mechanisms of action that differ from these typical agents might provide better seizure control. Perampanel, an AMPA-receptor antagonist, and brivaracetam, a SV2A ligand
