Message from the Chair

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

This month marks a turning point for our nation and our campus. We are entering into the post-Covid phase of life. While our clinicians will continue to care for patients with Covid, some with life-threatening infections, the pandemic is coming to an end, and we need to conceptualize a new beginning. During this process, I’d like you to consider a few key questions.
 
What have we learned from the past year that we can apply to our collective future?

From my perspective, a major lesson is that we’re stronger and more effective when we work together across disciplines. Interdisciplinary teams sustained our campus over the past year and allowed us to address the many challenges at work and at home. In addition, we’ve all learned the value and rewards of:

  • Science
  • Standards applied to healthcare
  • Telemedicine
  • Equity and inclusion
  • Generosity
  • Our families and friends
  • And many more……

Let’s learn from these experiences and be better than we were before the pandemic.
 
How should we approach this transition?

We need to recognize that everyone and every unit has had their own unique experience over the past year. Consequently, the return to campus needs to be individualized. Patience and acceptance should guide our approach to post-Covid life.

Hybrid work schedules should be considered, and although the closure of campus was abrupt, the return to campus should involve a transition that is tolerant of the many additional responsibilities many of us have assumed over the past year. 

While some of our faculty and research teams remained on campus and became accustomed to the distinct solitude of an unpopulated campus, many of our employees developed new approaches to work and assumed new responsibilities at home. In fact, some of our faculty and staff who were hired during the pandemic will step foot on campus for the very first time.
 
What’s left to be done?

We still have quite a bit to sort out, including world-wide implications of Covid and Covid-variants, ongoing care and long-term consequences of Covid, vaccine hesitancy, vaccine boosters, social distancing, masking, school for our children, hybrid meetings, scientific conferences, future pandemic preparedness, and much, much more. However, if the last year has taught us anything, we need to work together to take on these challenges.
 
This is an exciting time for all of us. As we transition to this post-Covid phase of life, let’s make sure we preserve our collective patience, continue to respect our colleagues and friends, and rely on our individual resilience and determination. I have complete faith in you and the values that have guided us through this crisis. Stay well and stay connected. 


My very best wishes,

Program Updates
Mid-Career Faculty Women's Leadership Development Program

Career Cornerstones
Career Cornerstones is open to all eligible junior faculty in Medicine, Family Medicine, Ophthalmology, Pediatrics, and Radiology. This professional development program focuses on building skills and competencies associated with academic success. All junior faculty years 1-4 are encouraged to attend.

DOM Junior Faculty Mentor Program (JUMP)
Designed for junior faculty who are about to start or would like to become a first-time mentor. This program provides strategies and guidance to junior faculty and prepares them for the unique challenges they face when asked by students, residents, and fellows to assume a mentoring role. Faculty may self-nominate to the program.
LEADERSHIP 101: What Do People Need to Perform at a High Level?

Recent research from Ivcevic, Stern, and Faas identifies common factors that contribute to employee effectiveness. In a survey of 14,500 U.S. workers, researchers found a combination of organizational, interpersonal, and individual factors at play, including employers creating an environment that supports asking questions and creative problem solving, supervisors setting clear expectations and helping to manage emotions, and employees finding purpose and meaning in their work.

In looking at nurses’ experiences during the pandemic, they found that these factors became even more impactful during crisis. For instance, when supervisors encouraged creative problem solving and helped them manage difficult emotions, nurses were more resourceful and worked more effectively. These lessons can provide guidance for supervisors and organizations to best support their employees, in order for them to work to their full potential.

Research: What Do People Need to Perform at a High Level?; Harvard Business Review; Zorana Ivcevic, Robin Stern, and Andrew Faas.


Currently Harvard Business Review offers special coronavirus coverage for leading and working through a pandemic. These resources are available here. Also, did you know the Harvard Business Review is available to all faculty and staff through our Strauss Health Sciences Librarys organization subscription to the journal? (Journal search “Harvard Business Review”). 

For additional leadership resources, please review the Leading through Crisis resource document on the DOM COVID-19 webpage.

Selected Research Highlights

  • Sensyne Health has entered into a research partnership with the Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine (CCPM) to enable the "ethical application" of clinical artificial intelligence to support both research and patient care. CCPM will provide deidentified data from its dataset of 7.3 million patients, including its biobank covering more than 180,000 individuals. Sensyne, a developer of AI technology for remote patient monitoring and real-time clinical decision-making, will mine this data to help pharmaceutical clients accelerate the development of new drug compounds.

  • A collaborative study between Rice University, the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center and Children’s Hospital Colorado is gaining national attention. Rice University researchers engineered a strain of the gut bacteria E. coli to detect gastrointestinal acidosis. Researchers in the CU School of Medicine used the Rice-created organism in a mouse model of Crohn's disease to show acidosis activates a signature set of genes. The corresponding genetic signature in humans has previously been observed during active inflammation in Crohn's disease patients. The results are available in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Sean Colgan, PhD, professor of medicine and interim head of the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, and Ian Cartwright, a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Colgan's lab are co-authors of this study. Read more.

  • Isaac Harley, MD, instructor/fellow in the Division of Rheumatology recently published two co-first author papers in Nature Communications. The first study describes a new role for the B-cell cytokine BAFF as a regulator of energy metabolism. The second study defines microRNA-146A as a Lupus risk gene and takes first steps towards understanding its mechanism.

Evidence Suggests Bubonic Plague Had Long-Term Effect on Immunity Genes

While examining DNA from bones of 16th century bubonic plague victims in the German town of Ellwangen, scientists discovered the first evidence that evolution may have driven immunity to the disease among later inhabitants of the city. 

“We found that innate immune markers increased in frequency in modern people from the town compared to plague victims,” said the study’s joint-senior author Paul Norman, PhD, associate professor in the Division of Biomedical Informatics & Personalized Medicine. “This suggests these markers might have evolved to resist the plague.” Read more.
Researchers Announce New Discovery to Evaluate Tuberculosis Treatments

A new study published in Nature Communications provides an important new basis for comparing the effectiveness of different tuberculosis treatments.

“A key roadblock that holds back new tuberculosis treatments is our current inability to accurately measure how effectively different treatments shorten the time needed to cure tuberculosis,” said lead author Nicholas Walter, MD, PhD, associate professor in the Division of Pulmonary Sciences and Critical Care Medicine at the Rocky Mountain Regional VA Medical Center. “Without improved tools to measure and compare the effectiveness of drug treatments, the evaluation and roll-out of new combination drug treatments will continue to proceed slowly.” Read more.
