Boston Medical Center is among the contenders competing in STAT Madness 2025— a bracketed competition from STAT News to find the most innovative research in the country. Two teams of BMC Researchers, one led by Valerie Gouon-Evans, PhD, PharmD, and another led by Heather Hsu, MD, MPH, and Elisha Wachman, MD, are competing.
Dr. Gouon-Evans's research, published in Nature Communications, presented a promising and less invasive alternative to traditional liver transplantation.
Drs. Hsu and Wachman’s research, published in JAMA Pediatrics, introduced new trauma-informed clinical guidelines aimed at reforming mandatory child protective services reporting decisions for substance-exposed newborns without compromising patient care.
