Congratulations to the Vanderbilt Rheumatology Fellowship Program in this year's Rheum Madness tournament for their victory! This year’s team consisted of two VUSM medical students Michael Libre and Yash Pershad, first year fellow Dr. Genessis Maldonado, and Dr. Tyler Reese.
Michael and Yash have now served up two victories for the rheumatology division as they are also currently the subspecialty clinic directors at Shade Tree.
Congratulations to the trainees in the Bonami lab for their recently accepted manuscripts and invited talks relating to their work in beta cell regulation and type 1 diabetes.

Rheumatologist Jim Gore, MD, sat near the stage at McAfee Concert Hall at Belmont University in May listening to the Tennessee Youth Symphony playing the wistful second movement of the “Kentucky 1862” symphony that pays homage to the rolling hills of Kentucky during the Civil War.
Many studies have shown that autoimmune diseases disproportionately affect women – nearly 80 percent of those with an autoimmune disease are women. Better understanding these types of health disparities, and identifying ways to mitigate them, is central to the mission of the NIH. It is also one reason why we announced the Team Science Leadership Scholars Program (LSP) in Women’s Health, Autoimmune and Immune-Mediated Diseases last year.
