Baylor Scott & White Research Institute (BSWRI) is well known for its diverse research portfolio. The program actively maintains nearly 2,000 active and enrolling projects across more than 50 medical specialties each year, including initiatives supported by its translational research program. The program is focused on driving innovation by working with clinical teams across the Baylor Scott & White Health System to develop new medicines and diagnostic tests. The translational research team’s approach to discovery of “bench-to-bedside- and- back-to-bench” allows BSWRI to continue to be a major contributor to advancements in medical science.
BSWRI’s most recent COVID-19 research endeavor was featured in an exclusive story published by the Dallas Morning News as well as a number of other local and national outlets. The trial examines a new monoclonal antibody, produced by Eli Lilly and AbCellera Biologics, which has been shown to neutralize all known variants of concern in early lab tests.
The team at BSWRI’s Center for Esophageal Research and its clinical counterpart, the BSW Center for Esophageal Disease, have established a reputation as leaders in esophageal disorders. Their impact on clinical advancements and innovative research have helped bring national attention to the program.
Masks are recognized as important tools in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. To save medical-grade masks for hospital personnel, people have adopted reusable cloth masks for everyday use. Researchers have studied the efficacy of mask use, but what about the effects of wearing a cloth face mask on sports performance? A new study by Baylor Scott & White Research Institute (BSWRI) has now shed light on the matter. The research team at Baylor Scott & White Sports Therapy & Research at The Star in Frisco, conducted a study on the effects of cloth mask use during exercise. Their work, which shows that cloth masks reduce exercise performance at a range of intensities, was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine last month.
