When inflammation goes too far, it kills.

@UMSOP’s Dr. Ryan Pearson develops nanoparticles that can fine-tune immune responses and help treat sepsis.

Sepsis kills 350k Americans a year — and no approved therapy improves survival.

Ryan Pearson @UMSOP is testing drug-free nanoparticles that calm the immune system & work with antibiotics to fight sepsis. #BreakthroughsCantWaitUMB #SepsisResearch #Nanomedicine #UMBresearch

What if we can use a drug that has already shown promise in treating other cancers to treat pediatric brain tumors?

Hear how ACS-IMPACT research scholar at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, Gabrielle Olibris is Changing The Future Today. #BreakthroughsCantWaitUMB

Gabrielle Olibris, @umaryland.edu, ACS-IMPACT Scholar, worked with @medschool.umaryland.edu’s Dr. Aditi Banerjee to repurpose BNPP-433.3 Beta, an existing prostate cancer drug, to target pediatric brain cancer medulloblastoma. Her goal: safer, more effective treatments for kids.

Early heart disease diagnosis can save lives — but not every family gets it. ❤️

@medschool.umaryland.edu student Claire Wegner, with Dr. Alicia Chaves, found Latino & Hispanic moms and those preferring non-English are less likely to get prenatal diagnoses. Her work aims to close that gap.

“What if we could save more babies before they’re born?”
@medschool.umaryland.edu Claire Wegner’s research on prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart disease aims to improve access to care and remove barriers for underserved families.

"The more of us who walk the path of truth, the more we can share in the burden of illuminating that path for others."
@UMSOP Associate Professor Danya Mazen Qato, PhD, PharmD, MPH, calls on all of us to defend these values. 🎓✨ #AcademicFreedom #HigherEd

“You cannot be neutral on a moving train.” 🚆
—Howard Zinn

At @UMBaltimore Convocation, @umsop associate prof Dr. Danya Qato reminded us that silence is never neutral. Courage in higher ed means speaking up—for truth, for equity, for our students. #ImperativeOfCourage #HigherEd

Siblings of seriously ill children often face “dual losses” — less time with a parent and the closeness of a brother/sister. @UMSON's Kim Mooney-Doyle listens to families to build supports that reduce anxiety and strengthen resilience.

When a child is seriously ill, tough topics get even tougher—and siblings can feel anxious and alone. This UMSON research helps families talk, stay connected, and support every child.

What do we do for our other kids when one is seriously ill?

Pancreatic cancer is often found too late.

Student researcher Lynijah Russell is creating simulations that model tumor growth in 2 minutes instead of 5 days — helping doctors catch cancer earlier and save lives. #BreakthroughsCantWaitUMB #CancerResearch #PancreaticCancer
