General information The Mentored Professional Enrichment Experience (MPEE) is an optional eight-week elective between the first and second years of medical school. MPEE is an opportunity for you (as SIU-SOM medical students) to pursue interests in research and career development that you would not otherwise be able to investigate. Regardless of the area chosen for investigation, you are expected to play an active role in the project. Under the guidance of a faculty mentor , you will develop the initial question, design a method to obtain an answer, establish clear goals and objectives to

The inner ear is lined with two types of hair cells that help us to hear and balance. The cells respond to sound waves for hearing and head and body movement for balance. As we age, the cells are injured or die off, and our hearing and balance suffer as a result. Studies have shown that the hair cells in fish, frogs and birds can regenerate naturally. New research by scientists at the University of Washington and Southern Illinois University School of Medicine indicates that the hair cells involved with balance—called vestibular cells—may also be replenished in mammals. This could have

The long-term goal of the Laboratory for Regenerative Medicine and Applied Sciences is to develop a functional hybrid graft to heal full-thickness skin defects and explore the potential of epithelial-derived stem cells (LGR5+ and LGR6+) for burns, neuropathic ulcers, and hair regeneration. We are also exploring the potential of merging TRAIL (TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand) therapy with conventional breast reconstruction procedures to eliminate breast cancer recurrence after mastectomy.

In a new Sound & Query podcast, Officer Rikki Castles of the Springfield Police discusses the connection between healthcare and law enforcements and the need for collaboration. See our Podcast page
