State institutions are required to have emergency response plans in place for catastrophic events like floods, fires, tornadoes and active shooters. A global pandemic, on the other hand, is not something for which most have prepared a detailed playbook. In March, research faculty at SIU School of Medicine found themselves creating one on the fly. The work of SIU’s scientific investigators was crucial to not only maintain important research functions, but also to channel new energy toward combatting the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus.

Loud concerts. Loud headphones. Loud gunfire. A lifetime of exposure, or even a single incident, can cause noise-induced hearing loss. But other things can cause hearing loss, such as some types of chemotherapy and therapeutic radiation to the head. More than 36 million people suffer from hearing loss. But the good news is -- SIU School of Medicine researcher Dr. Kathleen Campbell may have found a way to prevent and treat noise and/or drug-induced hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing in the ears). For nearly 30 years, Dr. Campbell has studied D-methionine, a component of cheese and yogurt. She

Dale "Buck" Hales, PhD Dale "Buck" Hales, PhD, was in the grocery store and noticed "omega eggs." He wondered how farmers were able to get the chickens to lay omega-rich eggs. The answer? Flaxseed, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties Flaxseed may hold the key to reducing the prevalence and severity of ovarian cancer, according to Dr. Hales, professor and chairman of the Department of Physiology at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. He also is professor of gynecology/obstetrics and a member of Simmons Cancer Institute at SIU
