Adult vaccination rates and social determinants of health—or the social and economic conditions in which families live and work—have played an important role in children’s mental health during the pandemic, according to a new study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian have realigned the Department of Healthcare Policy and Research to address the intersection of research and practice. The newly named Department of Population Health Sciences, led by distinguished health services researcher, information scientist and leader Dr. Rainu Kaushal, aims to improve the health of populations through data-driven research, innovative technology and novel education programs.

Apps, video games and other media are filling gaps in mental healthcare

Dr. Jyotishman Pathak is a researcher who jokingly says that he’s “still learning to fake business” after launching a new company just six months ago. Though new to the business world, by any measure, he’s already a success.

The event, sponsored by the institution’s BioVenture eLab, is the culmination of a nine-week mentoring program that is designed to improve the ability of Weill Cornell Medicine clinicians and researchers to commercialize their concepts.

Awards, honors, prizes and achievements for the month of November.
