The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research recently scored a five-year grant, totaling more than $3.7 million, from the National Institutes for Medical Research. The funding supports research in bioelectronic medicine.
Feinstein will further explore how bioelectronic devices, instead of pharmaceuticals, can treat injury and disease through the body’s nervous system. Bringing together molecular medicine, neuroscience and bioengineering, researcher through bioelectronic medicine to identify neural targets that can be selectively activated or inhibited when needed and that, in turn, control the function of specific organs.

Researchers at Northwell s Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have developed an AI-powered predictive tool they say can assess patients for their risk of respiratory failure within 48 hours.
WHY IT MATTERS
New research, led by assistant professors Theodoros Zanos and Dr. Douglas Barnaby of the Feinstein Institutes, and published in the
Journal of Medical Internet Research, showed accuracy in identifying at-risk patients for earlier interventions such as critical care consultation and closer patient monitoring.
The project centered on electronic health record data from 11,525 patients who were admitted to 13 Northwell hospitals in spring of 2020, when the pandemic was peaking in the New York area. Of those patients, 933 (8%) were placed on ventilators within 48 hours of admission.
