The summer 2026 issue of Impact, Weill Cornell Medicine’s bi-annual magazine, features Set Up for Life — caring for women in the ‘fourth trimester.’
Other stories include:
• A Cryptic Culprit — how does the parasite that causes malaria manage to elude the immune system in so many people? Solving that mystery will put researchers a vital step closer to eradicating the disease’s scourage.
• Promoting Preemies — new research shows parental touch and speech improves preterm babies’ outcomes.
• Cancer Screening — how can we better catch and combat cancers that are increasing in people who don’t have known or established risk factors.
