His work helped inspire <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/homelessness-programs-resources/hpr-resources/100000-homes-campaign">the creation of the 100,000 Homes Campaign</a>, which has mobilized officials in hundreds of cities across the U.S. to house thousands of long-term and medically vulnerable homeless individuals who were at increased risk of death.</p> <p>“Homelessness affects hundreds of thousands of Canadians and takes a tremendous toll on health,” Hwang said.&nbsp;“Our work has shown that the Housing First approach ends chronic homelessness and should be widely implemented. This award will support our ongoing research on new interventions to meet complex health needs and improve well-being and social integration among people experiencing homelessness.”</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Fri, 21 Feb 2020 13:32:15 +0000 lanthierj 162853 at Dr. Mamatha Bhat recognized with John Charles Polanyi Prize in Physiology/Medicine /celebrates/dr-mamatha-bhat-recognized-john-charles-polanyi-prize-physiologymedicine <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Dr. Mamatha Bhat recognized with John Charles Polanyi Prize in Physiology/Medicine</span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-type field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-type/research-innovation" hreflang="en">Research &amp; Innovation</a></div> </div> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span>lanthierj</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"><time datetime="2020-02-04T11:20:33-05:00" title="Tuesday, February 4, 2020 - 11:20" class="datetime">Tue, 02/04/2020 - 11:20</time> </span> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-people field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-people/faculty" hreflang="en">Faculty</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-campus field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-campus/st-george" hreflang="en">St. George</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-awards-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/department-medicine" hreflang="en">Department of Medicine</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/faculty-medicine" hreflang="en">Faculty of Medicine</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/john-charles-polanyi-prize" hreflang="en">John Charles Polanyi Prize</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/celebrates/awards-tags/women-stem" hreflang="en">Women in STEM</a></div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image-orientation field--type-list-string field--label-hidden field__item">landscape</div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/media/0130MamathaBhat001087A0484.jpg" width="750" height="500" alt="Portrait of Dr. Mamatha Bhat"> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-cutline-long field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item">(photo by Nick Iwanyshyn)</div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p>Dr. <strong>Mamatha Bhat</strong> has received the John Charles Polanyi Prize in Physiology/Medicine&nbsp;for her research to ensure long-term health for patients who undergo liver transplants.</p> <p>Bhat is an assistant professor in the department of medicine’s division of gastroenterology and a staff hepatologist and clinician-scientist at the University Health Network’s Multi-Organ Transplant Program.&nbsp;Her lab focuses on the key complications that compromise the long-term survival of liver transplant recipients: recurrent liver cancer, fatty liver and metabolic disease. She is establishing the first translational research program worldwide dedicated to improving these post-transplant outcomes.</p> <p>“It’s a wonderful sign of support for the importance of this translational research that will provide improved long-term outcomes for our patients,” Bhat said. “That’s what means the most.”&nbsp;</p> <p>The award is named after <strong>John Polanyi</strong>, <a href="https://www.provost.utoronto.ca/awards-funding/university-professors/">a łÔąĎ±¬ÁĎ University Professor </a>of chemistry and joint winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.&nbsp;At a reception to honour the winners, Polanyi described the potential impact of Bhat’s research.</p> <p>“Papers pour out of her lab (about sixty, so far) regarding the new world of human spare-parts,” Polanyi said. “Dr. Bhat looks ahead to the time when these spare parts are themselves in need of repair by which time she will know how to repair them.”</p> <h3><a href="/news/three-u-t-researchers-win-polanyi-prize-work-astronomy-english-and-medicine">Read the<em> łÔąĎ±¬ÁĎ</em> story</a></h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-source field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">UTC</div> <div class="field field--name-field-top-story-hub-page- field--type-boolean field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Top Story (Hub page)</div> <div class="field__item">Off</div> </div> Tue, 04 Feb 2020 16:20:33 +0000 lanthierj 162285 at
