Congratulations to the members of CAAS staff and faculty receiving awards this year!
Brian Gully, Project Coordinator (Dean's Award for Excellence in Leadership), Wendy Hernandez, Medical Lab Technician (Dean's Award for Excellence in Innovation), and Alexandria Macmadu, Assistant Professor of Epidemiology (Dean’s Award for Excellence in Community Engagement). Each awardee has shown significant dedication to the school and the excellent work being done here.

A study co-led by researchers from CAAS found that liver screenings at health clinics can help save lives. The small pilot study screened patients during visits to a community health clinic, providing them with the opportunity to reverse liver damage they didn’t realize they had. “Liver disease is silently progressing, but completely preventable with lifestyle change [and] behavior change, and we can provide behavioral interventions for that,” said Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior Hayley Treloar Padovano.
