On Friday, Prof. Moonsoo Jin, biomedical engineering, lectured about his medical research.  He found evidence that inflammation may be used to diagnosis cancer at early stages, and he believes that removing inflammation in patients may prevent cancer progression.

Some of the most contended issues in the nation — concepts of healthcare, medical care access and coverage — were debated yesterday evening in Goldwin Smith Hall at an interactive discussion led by Dr. Arthur Garson, executive vice president and provost of the University of Virginia.

Garson previously served as the dean of UVA’s School of Medicine. A cardiologist and author of Health Care Half Truths: Too Many Myths, Not Enough Reality, Garson dissected many “myths” surrounding the institution of healthcare providers.
