USF Health MD/PhD student Vincent Lok is exploring how the body’s immune system could offer new alternatives to conventional chemotherapy.

Through the partnership between @usfhealthmedicine and @moffittcancercenter, Lok is studying dendritic cell immunotherapy, an approach that trains the immune system to identify and attack cancer cells. His research aims to expand the therapy’s potential use across a broader range of cancers, including metastatic cancers that can no longer be surgically removed.

“I wanted to not only study promising treatments but also see how they affect patients, and the collaboration between USF Health and Moffitt offered exactly what I was looking for,” Lok said.

His work highlights how USF Health’s integrated MD/PhD training connects scientific discovery with the potential to improve patient care.

Congratulations to Team NeuTrode! 🧠 USF biomedical engineering graduates Bridget Clift, Cristina Ramirez Vargas and Addison Whitehead are the first USF team to advance to the National Inventors Hall of Fame’s Collegiate Inventors Competition.

What began as a senior capstone project became a dry EEG electrode designed to make brain monitoring more comfortable for patients while capturing reliable signals. The team developed NeuTrode through USF’s Department of Medical Engineering, a joint program of the College of Engineering and USF Health Morsani College of Medicine, with guidance from Nathan Schilaty, PhD.

Let’s show them our support! Vote for Team NeuTrode in the People’s Choice Award once a day through Oct. 14. Link in bio. by @usfhealth

For patients with lupus nephritis, navigating care can mean coordinating multiple specialists, appointments and treatment plans, making an already complex disease even more difficult to manage.

USF Health is changing that! Launched in 2025, the Comprehensive Lupus Nephritis Clinic brings rheumatology and nephrology together to provide same-day, multidisciplinary care, helping patients receive coordinated care, support early detection and move quickly from diagnosis to treatment.

The clinic is a joint effort between USF Health and Tampa General Hospital, bringing together expertise and resources to support patients throughout their care.

🎓 Benefits to Patient Care in an Academic Laryngology Practice

Why choose an academic laryngology practice? Here’s what makes academic medicine unique! 🩺

🔬 Specialized Expertise: Access to ENTs with expertise in complex voice, airway, and swallowing disorders.

🤝 Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Your care is a team effort! Often, you’ll be seen by both your laryngologist and a voice or swallowing therapist during the same visit, allowing for real-time collaboration, comprehensive evaluation, and a coordinated treatment plan.

👩‍⚕️ More Minds, More Perspectives: Multidisciplinary collaboration with GI, GI Surgeons, Pulmonologists, Rheumatologists, CT Surgeons, Neurologists, Neurosurgeons, and more allows for more holistic care and collaborative efforts.

✨ Advanced Treatments: Access to specialized equipment to do procedures and surgeries that may not be offered elsewhere.

🧪 Research Opportunities: Opportunities to participate in clinical studies and contribute to discoveries that shape the future of laryngology.

📚 Continuous Learning: Your physicians are also educators and researchers who stay engaged with the latest evidence while training the next generation of specialists.

💙 Academic medicine combines specialized expertise, multidisciplinary collaboration, education, and research—all with the goal of improving patient care.
